If you’re in the market for a new iPad and you’re on the hunt for iPad deals, you have an important choice to make. We’re in that time of year where Prime Day 2023 is likely looming. We don’t know when it will be, but we do know that products like the Apple iPad will get some sweet discounts. You have to choose whether you should buy an iPad from today’s tablet deals, or hold off and hope for a better Prime Day 2023 iPad deal.

We’ve done some legwork that will help you make that decision. We’ve looked back the peaks and valleys of the price of various iPad models on Amazon. Below you’ll find a table showing several iPad models’ full price, current price, price on Prime Day 2022 and price on Black Friday 2022. Finally you’ll see a prediction for what we think the price for Prime Day 2023 might go to. “NA” indicates that the iPad either hadn’t launched yet or didn’t have reported data.

	MSRP	Today’s Price	Prime Day 2022	Black Friday 2022	Best Price 2022	Prime Day 2023 (Prediction)
iPad (9th Gen)	$329		$300	$265	$265	$220 – $260
iPad Mini (6th Gen)	$499		$410	$400	$399	$349 – $399
iPad (10th Gen)	$449		NA	$426	$399	$349 – $399
iPad Air (5th Gen)	$599		$560	$560	$500	$490 – $520
iPad Pro (4th Gen)	$769		NA	$739	$729	$700 – $739
iPad Pro (6th Gen)	$1,050		NA	$999	$999	$969 – $1,025

These predictions are based on how much that model of iPad usually drops during Prime Day. We also consider factors like how old the iPad is and whether or not a new iPad in that line was released in 2023.

Should you wait until Prime Day to buy an iPad?

As you can see from the chart, you’re likely to see between a $50 and $100 price cut on most iPad models. That isn’t a particularly significant price reduction, which shows you how high the demand is for even old Apple products. If you really need an iPad, maybe having it in your hands soon is more important than saving a few bucks. We recommend waiting if you want to buy a newer model. Prime Day will likely be the last time they’re discounted until Black Friday. If you just want any iPad, grab an old model today. For instance, the .

Today's best Prime Day iPad deals
Apple iPad (2021) -- $250, was $329

The 2021 Apple iPad may offer few discernible upgrades over the previous two generations but that's because it follows an 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' mentality. It offers everything you could need from a simple tablet and a few extras that make it well worth the price. On the surface is its delightful 10.2-inch Retina display with True Tone support. That means that imagery looks great at all times with the iPad being the ideal device for streaming content or browsing the internet in style. Its stereo speakers certainly help ensure that this is a great option if you love to catch up with shows on Netflix while on the move.

Apple iPad is at its cheapest-ever price before Prime Day 2023

The iPad 10.2 on a table.

Amazon is currently offering some great iPad deals including being able to buy the Apple iPad (9th generation) for $250. It's currently showing as $279, reduced from $329, but add it to your basket and it gets even cheaper with $29 off at checkout bringing it down to just $250. That's $20 cheaper than it even managed during Black Friday although it was the same price back in March. It's unlikely that it'll be even cheaper during the Prime Day deals next month, although it could happen. That's why we suggest buying it now and choosing the longest shipping method so the return window spans all of Prime Day so you can return it if it somehow gets even cheaper. All you have to do is return it in its original condition for a full refund or replacement within 15 days of receipt. Want to know more about the iPad (9th generation) before you buy? Here's what to know.

Why you should buy the Apple iPad (9th generation)
The Apple iPad (9th generation) might be aging technology but thanks to Apple supporting its products for longer than most, it's still ideal if you want one of the best tablets but need to keep costs down. It's powered by the A13 Bionic chip which remains pretty reliable thanks to the App Store offering so many thousands of apps and games. A gorgeous-looking 10.2-inch Retina display gives you plenty of room to see what you're doing and it makes everything look great compared to other tablets in this price range.

If you've been checking out Kindle deals in recent times and keep being tempted, you might not know what to do now that Prime Day 2023 is coming up in just a few weeks.
