If you're on the hunt for a new tablet, Prime Day is offering some of the best iPad deals of the year. As is the annual practice, Amazon is slashing prices on Apple's most popular tablets throughout its retail holiday. And even though Prime Day itself is starting to enter its final hours, there are still many deals available.
There are deals on practically every iPad tablet, from the entry-level 10.2-inch iPad to the new, M1-powered iPad Pros. The iPad mini continues to be the hardest deal to find, but we've got two ways to save on it below (one isn't at Amazon, though)! If you've already scored yourself the tablet of your dreams, you can grab great Prime Day iPad deals on accessories, iPad Folio cases and more.
Note that you'll need to as flexible as possible when it comes to picking a color, storage configuration and connectivity option. Hopefully, Amazon restocks several of these offers throughout Prime Day.

How to find the best Prime Day iPad deals
Where to find the best deals: Generally speaking, Amazon tends to offer the best Prime Day iPad deals. However, Best Buy is known for price matching Amazon. Oftentimes, Best Buy will also bundle a freebie (such as six free months of Apple Music), which makes Best Buy's deals slightly better. (To date, we've never seen Amazon offer similar iPad bundle deals).
Check all colors: Amazon tends to give different color iPads different prices. For instance, the base iPad 32GB tablet in space gray might sell for a discounted $299 price, but the silver model might sell at full price. So when looking for Prime Day iPad deals, it's worth checking various colors for the lowest price.
Beware the iPad mini: The iPad mini is one of the oldest iPads in Apple's lineup. There are strong rumors that an iPad mini 6 is on the horizon complete with an M1 CPU. As a result, you might want to wait before buying this model. That said, this is the iPad I personally own and it still runs like new, whether I'm streaming Apple Music, Netflix, or playing Mario Kart. Nevertheless, I'd wait for the new model before making an iPad mini purchase on Prime Day.
What kind of Prime Day iPad deals to expect
Last year's best Prime Day iPad deal knocked the base 10.2-inch iPad to an all-time price low of $249. So far in 2021, the price hasn't dropped below $299, so we're predicting that it could hit $249 again on June 21. Keep in mind that the base models tend to sell out fast, so you'll have to act quickly should you see that sale price.
Meanwhile, the new M1-powered iPad Pros will likely see price cuts on Prime Day. Walmart has already taken $50 off the Wi-Fi models and Amazon is now taking $100 off the 12.9-inch model. Make sure to keep an eye on Best Buy, which could undercut both retailers by offering freebies with its iPad sales. The retailers tend to bundle free 6-month trials of Apple Music or Apple Fitness Plus with select Apple deals.
Currently, one of our favorite Prime Day iPad deals slashes the iPad Air to just $539. That's $60 off and it's the lowest price we've ever seen for the Air (tying a Black Friday discount we saw last holiday season).
