Best Amazon Prime Day iPad deals
iPad (A16)
Apple
Apple’s A16-based iPad is already a bargain at its usual $349 price. Amazon regularly discounts it to $299, and we’ve seen it drop as low as $274 during previous Prime Day and Black Friday sales. Just remember, this is Apple’s only tablet that doesn’t support Apple Intelligence, so if you want the new Siri AI, you’ll have to buy a mini or an Air or wait for the next-gen model rumored to arrive this fall. Note: Apple’s price increases have driven up iPad prices by $100/£100.
U.S. Prime Day price: The A16 iPad was $299 at Amazon at the beginning of last week, the entire line was then listed as out of stock, but it’s back on sale at $299 again now.
U.K. Prime Day price: Amazon U.K. is selling the A16 iPad for £310.
iPad mini
Apple
Apple hasn’t updated the iPad mini since 2024, but it’s still a fantastic tablet and the best of its class. It’s more portable than either the A16 iPad or 11-inch iPad Air, and fully capable of running Apple Intelligence and iOS 27 in the fall. We’ve seen it as low as $380 in the past, but anything in the $400 range will be a great time to buy one. Apple has increased iPad mini prices by $100/£100.
U.S. Prime Day price: If you want an iPad mini you can get a good deal – we’ve seen it go lower previously, but with the new Apple prices, this deal is the best you will see in a while. The entry-level model has now sold out, but you can get the 256GB model for $500.
U.K. Prime Day price: One of the iPad mini configurations is at it’s lowest ever price right now.
M4 iPad Air
Apple Inc
The iPad Air is Apple’s only tablet to get an update in 2026, and we haven’t seen much in the way of significant savings yet. The various sizes and storage configurations have been hovering at $40-$50 off for several weeks, so we expect Prime Day to bring lower prices of around $100 off. But if you want a full-sized tablet, the Air represents the sweet spot for screen size and performance. With Apple driving up iPad Air prices by $150/£150 grab a bargain while you can.
U.S. Prime Day price: Amazon dropped the price of the 128GB 11-inch iPad Air down to $519. The 13-inch model is down to $700; the best discount across all configurations.
U.K. Prime Day price: Amazon has cut £20-£30 off the price of most iPad Air configurations, with the 11-inch iPad Air already dipping to the lowest prices we’ve seen for the iPad that was introduced in March, but like the U.S. store, we expect prices to drop further once Prime Day begins.
iPad Pro
Apple Inc
The iPad Pro is Apple’s best tablet, with the fastest chip, most RAM, and best display. It’s probably more tablet than you need, but if you don’t mind paying a premium, you’ll be getting an incredible tablet. Amazon recently cut prices by $100 or more across all models and configurations, and then Apple raised prices by $200/£200, so it’s a good time to buy one.
U.S. Prime Day price: Amazon is currently slashing to the best prices we’ve seen in a while.
U.K. Prime Day price: Amazon has dropped most prices by a decent amount – especially now that Apple has hiked up prices! We have already seen the lowest price to date on the 1TB 13-inch iPad Pro.
Watch List: The Prime Day iPad deals we are looking out for
Based on recent reviews and pricing trends for Apple’s iPads these are our buying recommendations:
| Model | Lowest Ever $ Price | Lowest Ever £ Price | Buying Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| iPad | $271.29 | £299 | The standard iPad is the best value option, especially if it falls to, or below, $299/£299. There are trade-offs to consider, including lack of support for Apple Intelligence, though. |
| iPad mini | $349 | £399 | The iPad mini is the most powerful compact tablet on the market and if you value the small size and find it for less than $399/£399 take advantage. |
| 11-inch iPad Air | $520 | £578.99 | The iPad Air offers high-end performance and portability without the premium price of the iPad Pro – if you can find it for less than $560/£570, all the better. |
| 13-inch iPad Air | $700 | £768.99 | The 13-inch iPad Air is ideal for users who need a large screen for multitasking or creative projects, but do not require the features of the Pro model. An easy recommendation at $699/£699, if it drops to that level. |
| 11-inch iPad Pro | $800 | £929 | We think this is the best tablet on the market for power users and creative professionals. If the price dips below $800/£869 we recommend buying. |
| 13-inch iPad Pro | $1,149 | £1,169.1 | If you want the ultimate iPad laptop and find the 13-inch iPad Pro for around $1,149/£1,149 we recommend it. |

Which iPad should you buy?
There’s an iPad for everyone.
Foundry
- iPad: Best for students and budget buyers.
- iPad mini: Ideal for commuting, reading, and taking handwritten notes.
- iPad Air: Ideal for most people.
- iPad Pro: Best for professionals and artists.
Apple sells four categories of this product: there’s the baseline iPad, the iPad mini, the iPad Air, and the iPad Pro. For dedicated buying advice (including whether or not this is a good time to buy) read about the Best iPad to buy and if you are a student, take a look at Best iPad for Students.
iPad A16: Best Value iPad
This is the baseline model, the cheapest iPad Apple sells, and normally we’d recommend it for those who just want a tablet for media consumption and browsing the internet on the sofa. But now isn’t a good time to pick up the A16 iPad, which came out in March 2025 and doesn’t support Apple Intelligence. An A19 model was expected to launch in the first half of this year, which obviously didn’t happen–but an update is definitely overdue, and could land any time.
In other words, look for a solid discount (anywhere below $300/£290 for the 128GB model is worth considering), or wait.
iPad mini: Best for Portability
This is the smallest and most portable model. The current (7th-gen) iPad mini came out as long ago as October 2024, but thanks to its A17 Pro chip it does support Apple Intelligence, so there’s less motivation for Apple to replace it. Nevertheless, an 8th-gen iPad mini is likely to land before the end of 2026.
On Amazon U.S. the lowest we’ve ever seen the 128GB model is $349, but anything below $400 is a solid deal. On the U.K. store, meanwhile, deals have historically been a little scarcer. The low point is £399, so Brits should be looking for somewhere in that range.
iPad Air M4: Best overall
The intermediate model, with excellent features, strong specs, and two choices of screen size. The current 8th-gen model came out in March 2026 so there’s no danger of it getting replaced any time soon. The 11-inch Air has been as low as $520 in the past, so look for a similar discount. The 13-inch Air’s lowest ever price is just under $700.
iPad Pro: Best for Creatives
The top-end model. Very expensive but equipped with the very best specs and features. Mainly targeted at creative pros. The M5 iPad Pro (in two screen sizes) came out in October 2025; new M6 models are likely to arrive in spring 2027.
The 11-inch Pro (with 256GB) once dipped briefly under $800, but that was something of an anomaly; anything under $900 is worth considering. The 13-inch Pro’s lowest ever price on Amazon was just under $1,150. We may not see any deals as good as that this time, but aim for $1,200 or lower.
Prime Day iPad deals to avoid
Dominik Tomaszewski / Foundry
When deciding whether to shop for an iPad deal, we recommend you keep a few things in mind:
If you’re considering an iPad as a laptop replacement, remember that adding a keyboard case can nearly double the cost, making it more expensive than a more powerful Mac. The arrival of the MacBook Neo has also weakened the value proposition of Apple’s entry-level tablets.
The iPad (A16) is currently the only tablet in Apple’s active lineup that does not support Apple Intelligence. If AI features are important to you, consider the iPad mini (A17 Pro) or an iPad Air with an M1 chip or newer instead.
Deals on older or refurbished iPads can be tempting, but check software support before buying. iPadOS 27 drops support for more older models than any previous release.
Avoid paying extra for a Cellular model unless you truly need it. The 5G version typically costs more than $100 extra and may require a monthly data plan. If you usually carry an iPhone, using Personal Hotspot is often a much cheaper alternative.
Casual users should also think twice before jumping on an iPad Pro (M5) deal. Unless you need the additional capabilities for demanding creative or professional workflows, the iPad Air delivers similar everyday performance at a significantly lower price.
Likewise, don’t pay extra for the iPad Pro’s nano-texture glass unless you regularly work in bright or uncontrolled lighting conditions. While it can be valuable for creative professionals, most users who primarily use their iPad indoors won’t notice enough benefit to justify the added cost.
Should you buy an iPad during Prime Day?
Prime Day is widely considered one of the best times of the year to buy Apple products, alongside Black Friday, and with Apple saying it is going to have to raise prices, we think it might be the last time we will see low prices in a while. While we do expect Apple to update the iPad and iPad mini at some point in 2026, it’s only the iPad A16 that we would recommend not buying because it doesn’t support Apple Intelligence and therefore misses out on many of the most attractive features coming in iPadOS 27 later this year.
There are a few other things to consider before making a purchase:
- Prime membership is required: Many of the best deals are exclusive to Amazon Prime members. If you’re not already subscribed, you might be able to take advantage of Amazon’s 30-day free trial or you could sign up for a month and cancel afterward. As well as getting free two-day shipping, Prime customers also get access to Prime Video and Music. Prime memberships cost $139 / £95 annually, or $14.99 / £8.99 / AU$6.99 every month.
- Other sales: If you miss Prime Day, you’ll have another chance to save during Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days in October, followed by Black Friday sales in November.
- Student Discounts: Students can take advantage of Apple’s “Back to School” promotion, which runs from June to September in the U.S. and July to October in the U.K, to get free AirPods with the purchase of a qualifying iPad or Mac. Students and educators can save significantly through the Apple Education Store. For example, students can save $50/£50 on the iPad Air and $100/£100 on the iPad Pro when shopping at Apple’s U.S. Education Store or Apple’s U.K. Education Store.
- Compare Prices: Amazon isn’t always the cheapest option. Retailers such as Walmart and Best Buy frequently run competing promotions around the time of Prime Day, so it’s worth comparing prices before buying.
Prime Day is available in multiple countries, including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, the U.K., and the U.S.
