From the entry-level 10.2-inch iPad to the new, M1-powered iPad Pros, we’re expecting to see a multitude of Prime Day iPad deals this year. After all, the iPad is the most popular tablet around and one of the best devices you can buy.
So what kind of Prime Day deals can you expect to see from Amazon this year? We’re taking a look at some of last year’s best Prime Day iPad deals along with some of the best iPad deals you can get today to predict which sales are worth shopping now and which you should wait for.
Prime Day iPad deals — top sales right now
What kind of Prime Day iPad deals we could see
Last years’ 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 quick 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 we expect Amazon to offer similar price cuts on Prime Day. Make sure to keep an eye on Best Buy, which could undercut both retailers by offering freebies with its iPad sales.

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 black might sell for a discounted $299 price, but the white 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 also strong rumors that it could be updated with an iPad mini 6 complete with M1 CPU in the near future. 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.
