Apple's iPads are on sale again for Amazon's October Prime Day, though nothing here is a record low.
Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days runs October 6 and 7, and the discounts span the whole iPad lineup. The base iPad (A16 chip, 128GB, WiFi) drops to $399 ($50 off), the iPad mini (A17 Pro, 128GB) falls to $499 ($100 off), and the 11-inch iPad Air (M4, WiFi) is $649 ($100 off). The 11-inch iPad Pro (M5, 256GB, WiFi) gets a smaller $60 cut to $1,139, while pricier Pro configurations, including an 11-inch M4 model with 2TB of storage and a nano-texture display, see cuts up to $200.
Worth noting: Apple raised iPad prices earlier this year, so some of these "discounts" are really prices drifting back toward where they used to sit, not fresh savings. The iPad Air stands out as the shrewder buy: reviewers called its M4 chip bump "iterative upgrades over last year's model" and said the tablet can feel "overpowered for casual users," which makes it a far easier sell at $100 off than at full retail.
If you've waited this long, Black Friday could still beat these numbers; none of them are Apple's best-ever iPad prices.
