Amazon Apple iPad

Whether you’ve already come around to the iPad, are eager to upgrade from an older model, or want to join Apple’s tablet party, Amazon’s Prime Day 2023 is an excellent time to make it happen.

Why? Well, you can take up to a massive 24% off iPads, and nearly every model in the current lineup is seeing a discount. The 9th Gen iPad, 10th Gen iPad, 6th Gen iPad Mini, and 5th Gen iPad Air are all down to all-time low prices, plus you can save on a trove of accessories. That includes essentials like an Apple Pencil, Magic Keyboard, or Smart Keyboard cases.

9th Gen iPad, $250 (was $329) at Amazon

While the entry-level 9th Gen iPad hit the all-time low price of $250 a few days before Prime Day 2023, it’s still one of the best deals of Amazon’s (AMZN) -) 48-hour shopping event. It’s the most affordable way to get an iPad, and with a 10.2-inch Retina display paired with an A13 Bionic chip, you get a pretty stellar experience. Whether you want to browse the web, stream content, play some games, FaceTime with family, or even multitask, iPadOS runs smoothly here and lets you accomplish them. Best of all, you won’t be constantly offloading applications with an ample 64GB of storage out of the box.

iPad Air 5th Gen, $500 (was $599) at Amazon

A $100 discount on the fifth-generation iPad Air should not be overlooked, especially as this is one of the most well-specced iPads currently in the lineup. It’s powered by Apple’s ultra-fast M1 Chip, which lets you glide through any possible task, use the “Stage Manager” multi-tasking mode, and even use Final Cut Pro. The star here is a more vibrant 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, which is great for both productivity and entertainment tasks.

Rounding out the iPad Air is Touch ID built into the power button, 12-megapixel cameras on the front and back, all-day battery life, support for Wi-Fi 6, 64GB of storage (starting), and your choice of five colors.

Apple’s 12.9-inch iPad Pro with 128GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity is down to $1,049 for the shopping event. It features a visually immersive and super vibrant 12.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR display powered by Mini LEDs and an adaptive refresh rate that scales to 120Hz.

For easy unlocking and authentication, it features Face ID and has a big enough battery to last all day, even when used for more intense tasks.

It features a 12-megapixel front facing camera and two lenses on the back—a 10-megapixel and a 12-megapixel lens—while also packing support for Wi-Fi 6E.
