Prime Day may be over but these deals on older iPads are still going
The 9th and 10th generation iPads and the iPad mini are still discounted.
Amazon Prime Day in October is over now, and we spent it tracking our favourite creative products to look for discounts. Our conclusion? The best offers to be had are on the slightly older iPads. The 9th gen iPad costs $199 at Amazon (down from $329) and the iPad mini 6 has smashed through its previous low price to just $349 at Amazon – that's $29 lower than the previous low, and 30% off the RRP.
While neither of these iPads boasts the 'M' chip of newer, more powerful models, they're still very capable machines that will be more than enough for most people. Elsewhere, we're tracking all the Apple deals on our Apple Prime day live hub.
US iPad deals
Save $150: The Apple iPad min 6th gen was released in late 2021. The small form is ideal for on-the-go streaming, browsing, sketching and note-taking, as well as creative tasks like photo or light video editing. And it has support for the Apple Pencil 2 so it works well for digital artists.
Save $130: This is a great 9th gen iPad, and ideal if you want a family tab to pass around and be used for streaming and light games. It's the last but one generation, but to my mind it's better value than the iPad 10, which tried to catch up with the iPad Air specs too much for my liking. And at $199, it's a steal.
Price check: Best Buy: $199
Save $50: This is the next gen up from the iPad above and is a capable tablet. There's 64GB storage, WiFi and the deal extends across four different colourways. It's still not an 'M' chip like newer iPads but most people will find its more than enough for their needs.
Price check: Best Buy: $299
UK iPad deals
Save £70: There's a decent deal on this budget 9th gen iPad in the UK too, though it was $10 cheaper over Prime Day itself. This is still a good price on this 2021 iPad.
Price check: Currys: £298
Save £29.01: This isn't a huge discount on the iPad 10th gen but it's still worth a look. The discount has now been extended to Silver, Pink and Yellow, with the Blue version costing £324.97.
Price check: Currys £349
