Save $50 on latest iPad Pro 11.0 with this rare early Prime Day deal

Andy Boxall / Digital Trends

If you are looking to take advantage of Prime Day deals to purchase a premium tablet, then you’re in luck. It’s rare to see discounts for newly released Apple products, but they do happen every once in a while. A perfect example is this early Prime Day deal for the Wi-Fi model of the 11-inch, 128GB version of the fourth-generation iPad Pro. The offer, which joins the list of Prime Day iPad deals ahead of the October 13-14 event, cuts $50 off the tablet’s price to take it down to $750 from $800.

Apple, which released the fourth-generation iPad Pro in March, claims that the tablet powered by the A12Z chip is faster and more powerful than most Windows laptops. The latest version of the iPad Pro, however, remains easy to handle with a width of only 5.9mm and weight of only 471 grams. The Liquid Retina IPS screen offers vibrant colors, and the slim 6mm bezels provide just enough of a border so that you won’t accidentally touch the display while holding the tablet.

Apple went all-in with augmented reality for the 2020 iPad Pro. The tablet incorporates a lidar scanner, which is the same technology used by self-driving vehicles to measure distances, and combines that with the Pro camera system that includes a 12MP wide camera and a 10MP ultrawide camera to enable new augmented reality experiences.

Apple promises up to 10 hours of battery life for the iPad Pro, though that will depend on what you’re doing on the tablet. Its charging port uses a USB Type-C connector, not the Lightning cable used by iPhones, which opens up more options for where you can plug it in.

The iPad Pro is a valuable machine for students and professionals alike, and the recent iPadOS 14 update introduced more multitasking tools and expanded Apple Pencil support, while also improving several Apple apps for an even better experience.

The 11-inch, fourth-generation iPad Pro was only released seven months ago, so while $50 off might not be much, any discount should be considered a bonus for such a powerful device. The tablet is on sale for only $750, from the original price of $800, so if you are looking for an iPad Pro, you should take advantage of the offer now as it’s unclear how long it will last.

Tandem OLED! Awesome, right? Wait … hold the phone. Tandem OLED? What in the what?

Did Apple geniuses just smash together two OLED panels and, et voilà, a brand new, unprecedentedly awesome display is born, exclusive to the new iPad Pro? Well, not exactly. There’s more to it than that, and in the end, it’s great news for all of us.

Apple finally released some new iPads this year after going over a year without any updates. The iPad Air got a big refresh, now with an M2 chip inside and a new size -- 13 inches -- to go along with the regular 11-inch size from before.

The new iPad Air starts at $599 for the 11-inch Wi-Fi base model and increases depending on the size and configuration you choose. If you want the new 13-inch model, be prepared to spend at least $799.

One missing feature has almost ruined the new iPad Air for me

I’m a few days into using the new 11-inch iPad Air (2024), and one single feature decision has annoyed me to the point where I’m questioning why it exists at all.

In Apple’s current iPad range, the iPad Pro (2024) is definitely the professional’s choice, while the regular iPad is the one for the bargain hunter. The iPad Air sits awkwardly in between them. While it seems to offer all the power and ability you could want without paying the iPad Pro’s high price, it doesn’t have the ProMotion 120Hz refresh rate screen — and that’s a serious drawback.
