All the best iPad deals ahead of October Prime Day

We’re closing in on being just one week away from the start of Prime Day yet again, but as is Amazon’s style, early deals are cropping up ahead of the sale’s official start.

Among the many items marked down already, you’ll find a decent variety of iPads, from M2 Airs to the ninth generation iPad. Although the retailer hasn’t deemed any of the below official deals from the member-exclusive Prime Big Deal Days sale (aka the official name for this October Prime Day), we still think they’re worth checking out ahead of time.

As always, we’ll be updating this post with the best iPad deals throughout this Prime Day season, so make sure to check back often.

Best iPad deal

Why we like it

Even at full price, the 10th generation iPad is our pick for the best Apple tablet if you’re on a budget. Marked down $50, this iPad becomes about half the price of the iPad Air at full price. Sure, it isn’t powered by an M2 chip, and it may not be the tablet we recommend for artists or designers, but for most people, the 10th generation will more than power you through note taking, browsing the web, and streaming video for a fraction of the cost of other options.
