Did the $330 price tag for the latest Apple iPad feel a little too high for you? Right now as one of many early Prime Day deals, the latest Apple iPad is down to just $300, saving you $30. For the absolute latest technology, this is a fantastic deal if you’re in the market for a brand-new iPad. It’s just one of the many great Prime Day iPad deals we’re expecting to see in the coming days, but we can’t see this one getting any cheaper. It’s a rare discount on a very new and highly sought-after product after all.

The latest Apple iPad has everything you would expect from Apple and more. It offers a gorgeous-looking 10.2-inch Retina display so that, whether you’re typing up a document or watching your favorite show on Netflix, it looks fantastic. Alongside that is an A12 Bionic chip processor which ensures everything is super speedy at all times. That means loading up new apps is fast but it also means you can dive into the latest games on Apple Arcade and enjoy them at the speed and quality you deserve.

The latest Apple iPad also has an 8MP back camera and a 1.2MP FaceTime HD front camera so you’re well served whether you’re making a video call with friends or taking some quick snaps while out and about. With up to 10 hours of battery life, you won’t have to worry about recharging it throughout the day either as it should last you a decent length of time.

Throw in security features like Touch ID for secure authentication, Apple Pay support, and support for the Apple Pencil (1st generation) and the smart keyboard, and the Apple iPad is an impressively versatile device. Whether you’re using it for work or pleasure, or a little bit of both, you’ll be happy with everything it offers.

Ordinarily priced at $330, the new Apple iPad is down to just $300 as part of Amazon’s early Prime Day deals. We can’t see it staying at this price for long given that it’s a rare discount on a brand-new product, so if you’re keen to upgrade, we suggest jumping on board as soon as possible. You won’t be disappointed.

The 11-inch iPad Pro M2 sold out, but you can get the iPad Pro M4 for the same price

iPad Pro with M2 inside.

If you've been looking forward to the arrival of this year's Cyber Monday Apple deals. it's time to get excited. There are some excellent deals. Best Buy was offering the Wi-Fi + Cellular model of the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro M2 for only $1,099, following a $1,000 discount that nearly halved the tablet's original price of $2,099. But since there's always high demand for savings on Apple's iPad from Cyber Monday deals, that offer is sold out. Don't panic, though. Best Buy also has the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro with M4 Chip for the same price -- $1,099. It's only a savings of $100, down from $1,199, but that's still a fantastic price. We highly recommend shopping this deal before it sells out too.

Why you should buy the 11-inch Apple iPad Pro M4 instead
The Apple iPad Pro M2 wasn't the latest version of the powerful tablet -- that distinction goes to the Apple iPad Pro M4, yet both have rightfully taken their place in our list of the best iPads as the best premium option. Since the first deal on the M2 model sold out, you're getting the best of the best right now for the same price, anyway.

The 9th Gen iPad with Apple’s A13 Bionic chip is only $200 today

The Apple iPad has been a popular holiday item for several years now. With Cyber Monday officially here, we’re excited to see so many great iPad deals available. That leads us to this offer we found: For a limited time, when you purchase the 9th Gen iPad with A13 Bionic, you’ll only pay $200. At full price, this iPad sells for $480. We had the opportunity to test this model a while back, and our iPad expert had the following to say: “The iPad 10.2 (2021) is the best iPad you can buy today. There are few discernible upgrades over the previous two generations, but if you don't have one, this is the one to get. If you do, there's no point in upgrading.” If that's not a solid argument for grabbing this 9th Gen iPad deal, I don't know what is.

Why you should buy the 9th Gen iPad
Even though the A14 version of the iPad was released back in 2022, it’s not unusual for Apple to still sell the A13 version brand-new. And then, when holidays like Cyber Monday and Christmas roll around, the company knocks a few extra dollars off this 2021 device. Don’t be fooled either: the Apple A13 Bionic is an incredible chip that delivers a buttery smooth iPadOS experience, complete with fast load times, animations, and excellent media playback.

The Apple iPad (10th Gen) is down to $331 for Cyber Monday

Are you ready? Cyber Monday is here and the deals are as green as ever. The Black Friday discount from Walmart on the Apple iPad (1oth Gen) is gone but the price is still low. The Wi-Fi, 64GB model is on sale for $331 (down from $349). It's not the most attractive Cyber Monday tablet deal that we've found but a discount is a discount. We're not sure for how long, though. Like with most Cyber Monday deals available, there's a chance that the offer disappears sooner than you think. If you want this device for a more affordable price than usual, we highly recommend buying soon.

Why you should buy the Apple iPad (10th Gen)
The Apple iPad (10th Gen), which was released in 2022, is the latest version of the base model of Apple's tablets. It's featured in our roundup of the best iPads as the one that you'd want to buy if you want to save some cash while still getting a great iPad. It's not as technically impressive as the sixth-generation Apple iPad Air, which tops that list, but the 10th-generation Apple iPad is about half the price while still delivering a really nice user experience with 2360 x 1640 resolution and 500 nits of brightness -- same as the sixth-generation Apple iPad Air -- on its slightly smaller 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display.
