Prime Day iPad deals LIVE: the big event is over, but there are still deals to be had
With Prime Day gone for another year, we're still tracking the lowest prices on all things iPad: from iPad Pro to iPad mini, these are the current best deals available (and no Prime membership needed).

Prime Day 2023 is over, but as so many of the best Prime iPad deals that we reported on this year were not official Prime deals – ie, you didn't need a Prime account to buy them – a lot of the deals are still live!
Of course, the majority of the biggest savings on iPads will have probably disappeared. But there are still some deals to be had - and I've just gone through and updated all the quick links just below with the current best deals to be had.
Check specifications in our iPad generations list if you're not sure about which is the best Apple tablet for you. If you can't see what you're looking for here, then we suggest you keep an eye out for our forthcoming Apple Black Friday deals this November.

OK! To kick things off I'm picking my favourite iPad. No, it's not the most recent 10th Gen model, but the previous 9th Gen, 2021 model. Surprisingly, this is not a Pro, and not an Air – this is the standard iPad, and before the 10th Gen shifted the specs up into the territory of the Air, the 9th Gen iPad was what I'd call a classic iPad.
And the deal? It's down from $329 to $279 over at Amazon. This is not an official Prime Day deal, so you don't need a Prime membership to get it. Will it be bettered this Tuesday and Wednesday? Maybe. But at $279, it's a great deal as it is.
There's also a deal on the latest 10th gen iPad, which has been around on and off for a few months now – but it is still the lowest price we've seen it go for. You can pick it up for $399 at Amazon – $50 less than the RRP of $449.
This iPad is the one that catapulted the iPad standard into the spec territory of the Air, confusing buyers everywhere (including us, see our iPad 2022 10th gen review here for more). The upgrades mean there's no longer a 'standard iPad' if you don't need all the extra goodness like a bunch of power and a bigger screen, but who are we to complain, really? And this offer means it is more attractive than when it was full price.
In the UK? There's nothing earth-shattering around yet but if you're in the market for the latest iPad Pro, you'll be interested in this bit of price context. There's four percent off the 128GB, 256GB, 512GB and 1TB versions right now – for example, Amazon has the 256GB on sale for £975.13. This is an interesting one, because though four per cent doesn't sound like a lot, it is actually lowest-price territory for a couple of these configurations.
However, our delve into the price history shows they've been at that level for quite a while (some a bit more fluctuating than others) so it is worth holding on until Prime Day actually begins – if you're not in an iPad emergency and you're happy to wait until then.
The 2TB iPad has a more impressive 10 per cent off, but it's way off its record-low price (by a massive £500), so we wouldn't recommend pressing that button just yet.
Clicking around through the various colour and storage options can serve up some surprise extra discounts. For example, this deal on the iPad mini on Amazon can save you between five and eight per cent depending on the colour/size (note: none of these deals are standout – they're all quite a way off their lowest prices ever but this context is useful for deal hunting.)
The best option is on the 256GB Starlight configuration, which is cut by $50 from $649 to $599 (still $60 off its lowest-ever price, by the way, though this isn't a terrible deal). The other colours are reduced by just five per cent to $617.
If you'd rather the 64GB version, the only colour not reduced is the pink iPad – the rest have the same six per cent discount – reduced from $499 to $469 (lowest price ever was $399).
We hope to see these prices fall further, and we'll keep you in the loop as and when things change.
If you're buying an iPad with the plan to use it for drawing or even just notetaking, you're probably going to want to pick up an Apple Pencil too. We do have a guide to the best Apple Pencil alternatives if you think you can make do with a more economical stylus, but there's really no comparison to Apple's stylus, especially for drawing.
Fortunately, the second gen Apple Pencil is close to the lowest price we've ever seen: Apple Pencil 2 $129 now $89 at Amazon US. That's a saving of $40 and is only $4 higher than the record low price of $84.99, which we saw for only a couple of days early in June.
Apple Pencil 2 is compatible with new iPad Pros, Airs and minis but NOT the standard iPad - for that you'll need Apple Pencil 1, which is reduced from $99 to $79 at Amazon US.
The other iPad accessory that some find essential is a pair of AirPods, especially if you'll be using your tablet on the move and to work in cafes or other shared spaces. Fortunately you should never have to pay full price for these, and now is no exception since there's a discount available on every model.
Our top pick is the latest Air Pods Pro 2 (read our review to see why). That $50 is pretty much a perennial discount at Amazon now, so really make sure you don't pay more than that. If the deal's gone when you're looking to buy, hold fire for a while because it will almost certainly be back within a week or so irrespective of whether it's Prime Day or not.

In the UK, the AirPods Pro are reduced by just £10 from £249 to £239.
Back to Prime Day iPad deals, though. Below we've already mentioned deals on the entry-level iPads and on the iPad Pro. But the best iPad for a lot of people (i.e., people that want to do a bit of work on the device but don't need Pro processing power for heavy graphics work), is the trusty iPad Air, a tablet that's almost an iPad Pro in many ways but has a much more appealing price tag.
It comes in two storage configurations, 64GB and 246GB. The former is not very much storage at all for the size to today's media files but if you're not going to be saving images or video locally it might be fine. If you'll be working with video or images on the device, you'll probably want the larger option unless you're saving everything to the cloud.
Happily there are deals on both, but it depends on the colour you want. Amazon has the latest 2022 iPad Air 246GB for $749 now $640 if you click the little box to apply the coupon for the extra $29 saving (no, I don't know why they do it like that; it's something to do with them not allowing to advertise lower prices), but this only applies to the 'Blue' and 'Space Grey' colours.
As for the 64GB version, there's $40 off on every colour. But again, make sure you pay close attention to that little coupon button below the price, because the blue and Space Grey models have the option to add a coupon for an extra $59 off, for a total saving of $100.
All in all, iPad deals aren't looking bad considering that Prime Day doesn't actually start until Tuesday, and I have my doubts about whether the discounts will get much bigger than what we're already seeing on many models.
If you're looking for one of the cheaper iPads - the standard iPad or iPad Air, the deals we're seeing at the moment are as cheap as these models usually get, so I'd be surprised if we see better deals during Prime Day.
On the other hand, if you're in the US and planning to buy an iPad Pro, I'd hold fire for now because we're not seeing any really decent deals on the latest Pros yet. Amazon has $50 off the 12.9 inch 2022 iPad Pro but only with a 128GB SSD, which isn't really going to allow you to make much use of its Pro specs.
It's a slightly different story in the UK, where Amazon has some small savings on the iPad Pro across a range of configurations.
We're taking a little break from the blog for now, but rest assured that we'll be back tomorrow and through Tuesday and Wednesday to continue to track the best Prime Day iPad deals available.
Back in the room! I've had a nap, got some fresh air, drunk far too much coffee already, and I'm back on it... and right away there's some good news for people looking for a classic iPad. The first deal that I reported on here has actually been bettered!
You can get the 9th Gen iPad, with A13 Bionic chip, 64G SSD and 12/8MP cameras for $269.99, down from $329.99. That's and extra $10 less than when I reported on it over the weekend.
Now, I really like this deal for a couple of reasons. First, this is my choice of budget drawing tablet / general streaming tablet. In our review, we noted that although it doesn't have Apple Pencil 2 compatibility, it's still offers a great screen and swift power for the price. Now that you're saving $60, it's an even better tab.
Secondly, I prefer this to the most recent 10th Gen iPad. It knows that it's an iPad, and isn't trying to compete with its bigger brother the iPad Air (like the 10th Gen does). Out of all the deals I've covered so far, this is the best.
Hellooooooo, it's Tech Reviews Editor Erlingur here, freshly showered and caffeinated for the day ahead. Now, I'm still waiting for that one mind-blowing Prime Day deal to arrive for any iPad. You know, the one that makes me think 'oh, even I, a notoriously stingy consumer, might go for this.' But quite interestingly, the one that comes closest for me at the moment, before the Prime Day flood wave officially hits, is not on Amazon. And it's not even for the most recent iPad.
Nope, it's for a 4th-gen 64GB, 10.9-inch iPad Air (the 2020 spec), and it's on Walmart. Discounted from the original $629.99, it's now only $469. Bad news though if you're pining after the Rose Gold-skinned model (like the desert's missed the rain), they only have the Space Grey available. It's all the same on the inside though, thankfully. Our review is one of the most glowing for any iPad, past or present, and despite its relative age, it's still supremely capable.
We've told you about the Amazon deal on the 5th-gen iPad Air 10.9 with the M1 chip, where the 64GB version is a cool $100 off, down to $499. Well, if 64 gigabytes just doesn't cut it for you, the 256GB one is also $100 off now! I like lots of apps, and if you like lots of apps, and especially if those apps are a bit power-intensive (like graphic-design, photo-editing or art ones), that extra space can come in very handy.
Originally going for $749, the 256GB iPad Air M1 (2021), is now only $649 on Amazon, and if grey bores you, it's also available for that price in blue, pink and purple. This is the lowest price we've ever seen this model at, so I'm very tentatively clanging the RECORD LOW bell right now...
And now for a little warning. We're here to help you find great Prime Day deals on iPads, but when looking for good UK deals, I found one thing I feared: a fake, or at least disingenuous 'discount'. The 9th-generation iPad with 256GB storage and 10.2-inch screen is being advertised for "£50 off", or only £499, down from £549.
On the face of it, this is a very decent deal, 9% off a good product that's notoriously hard to find in sales, but I decided to dig a little deeper, and found out that the RRP was only raised to £549 in early-2023, and was in fact only for sale at that price for a few days in February. From the time it went on sale in 2021 and until Christmas 2022, it never went above £460 on Amazon, and has been sold for as little as £399 on there last year.
So our advice here is: Wait and make them lower the price to an actual discount.
This 5th gen iPad Air has just returned to its lowest ever price of $799.99 (reduced from $899.99) at Amazon for the 256GB and from $749 to $649 for the 64GB (click through to find the option). Sure, it's not a new price but it hasn't been lower. However, we do hope this'll fall further so it's one to keep your eye on if you can wait a little bit longer.
If you're needing to save some money on an iPad a renewed model is a pretty good option. At the moment Amazon is offering a renewed 2021 11-inch iPad (128GB) reduced from $1,199.99 to $629.95. With a 90 day guarantee, this iPad is in excellent condition according to Amazon's specifications. It's not an option for everyone but there's a lot to say for going down the renewed route.
The 9th generation iPad is already by far the best value Apple offers when it comes to tablets, but with £50 off at Amazon UK, it's a steal. £319 is close to the lowest price we've seen for this model (which Apple still sells for £369) – and with Apple Pencil and iPadOS 17 support, it's nothing if not future-proof.
Amazon in the US also has a ridiculously good deal on the 9th generation iPad, bringing the price down from $329 to $269. Just over 250 bucks for an iPad is outrageously good value, and almost the cheapest we've seen for this model.
The new 10th generation iPad confused us a bit on launch last year, with its Apple Pencil 1 support and surprisingly high price. But we're coming round to it – that edge-to-edge display is a real improvement and we're loving the Magic Keyboard Folio attachment. Amazon US is currently offering it for $50 off at $399, which also solves the price issue somewhat.
Here's one of the best iPad deals we've seen so far. The iPad Air, one of the best options for most people thanks to its mid-level power and mid-level price, is currently $100 off at Amazon, down from $599 to $499 for the 64GB version. We called it "an incredible computer for the price, delivering a notepad-sized package with the power of a MacBook Pro," in our review.
Readers in the UK can also save on the latest iPad Air, although not quite as much. It's reduced from £849 to £819 for the 256GB model and from £669 to £615 for the 64GB version. Again, both of those deals are at Amazon.
We mentioned a little while ago that one of the best iPad deals in the UK is on the entry-level 10.2-inch iPad, reduced to £319, but actually you can save a few pounds more. Also on Amazon, there's another listing knocking about for the 2021 iPad 10.2 64GB priced at just £314.98. That's still not the cheapest price we've ever seen (that was £298.99 in August to October last year), but it's the cheapest price we've seen since Apple bumped the starting price up early this year.
Erm... I think something's gone wrong with Very's iPad deals. It has last year's enhanced entry-level iPad reduced from £499.... to £593? Incredibly, it claims these deals are selling fast.
