Ahead of Prime Day, which runs July 16 and 17, deals are sneakily sliding in. The next two weeks are a bit of a waiting game to see what sought-after products will go on sale. Luckily for you, we're on top of our game finding the early deals, including on the latest iPads from Apple.

These discounts might not seem like much, less than $100 off each model, but these are the lowest prices ever on iPads. The spring release of the new iPad Air and iPad Pro brought noteworthy tech, creating tablets with as much power as the best laptops we've tested. So while these deals seem subtle, we can confirm they're the best prices on iPads.

However, we're not so patiently waiting to see what Prime Day brings. We'll be updating this article with the latest prices as we get closer to the main event.

Best iPad 10th generation deal

Why we like it

The iPad 10th generation saw a price drop this spring, becoming the most budget-friendly iPad. It doesn't have the flashy M-series chips that the iPad Air and Pro possess, but the A14 chip has all the processing power you need for streaming, reading, and working. Normally priced at $349, it's down to $324, officially its lowest price ever. So while it's just $25 off for 7% savings, we can guarantee it's the best price yet.

Best iPad Air deal

Apple iPad Air, 11-inch (M2, WiFi, 1TB)
$1,024.00 at Amazon
$1,099.00 Save $75.00

Why we like it

Loaded with the M2 chip, the iPad Air is a tablet with the power of a laptop. It's our best overall iPad, as it goes beyond just entertainment, and can be a professional workspace too. The M2 chip powers creatives who want to illustrate and with 1TB of storage, you won't run out of space when starting new projects. This iPad Air usually starts at $1,099, but it's currently down to $1,024, knocking $75 off the price. Those 7% savings bring it down to it's lowest price, unbeatable for the amount of power and storage you're getting.

Best iPad Pro deal

Why we like it

The iPad Pro is not only the most advanced tablet we've ever seen, but maybe the most advanced computing power period. If you need an iPad for professional use, something that can accomplish all your work, from photo to video editing, look no further than the iPad Pro which scored a 14,586 on the Geekbench 6 test, better performance than both the M3 Macbook Air and M3 Macbook Pro.

Ahead of Prime Day, you can get the latest iPad Pro for $928.99, saving you $70.01. Like the test of the tablets on this list, those 7% savings might seem minor, but it's the lowest price we've ever seen.
