I Found the Best iPad Deal for Amazon Prime Day This Year (2026)

The newest iPad in the lineup just so happens to have gotten the largest discount for Amazon Prime Day this year. Apple refreshed the 13-inch iPad Air with the M4 chip just a few months ago, and already the price is down to $700. That's $100 off retail, and it's by far the best Prime Day deal on an iPad. The deal is on the Space Gray model and comes with 128 GB of storage and 12 GB of unified memory. That extra memory—up from 8 GB in the previous generation iPad Air—combined with the M4 chip offer as much performance as you'll ever need in an iPad. But really, this is the iPad for people who might occasionally need a bit more from their device. For example, you might want to try hand at some more graphically intense games or even just get some work done while you're traveling.
The iPad Air can handle this in a way that the standard iPad can't. If that's your intent, getting the 13-inch model is important too. That extra screen real estate really brings the brilliant screen of the iPad to life and allows you to spread out your windows a bit more. And yes, you heard that right. In the latest official iPadOS release from 2025, you can now drag windows around for proper multitasking, and the larger display makes that more useful. The iPad Air isn't the only iPad on sale for Prime Day, though. The next best discount is on the 2025 iPad mini. It's also down $100, bringing the price to $500. That's the cheapest it's been in at least the past few months. Unlike the iPad Air, this is purely a content consumption device. It excels at those times when you want to lean back on the couch or by a pool.
As a tablet that's small enough to use one-handed, it's a great reading device too. The other two iPads in the lineup don't have as big a discount. Both sizes of the iPad Pro are $100 off, but that's what they normally sell for. The same is true of the base 11-inch iPad, which is a standard $50, selling for $299. There's nothing wrong with these iPads per se—in fact, the base iPad remains the best overall iPad that I think most people should buy. It's simple, but that's where the iPad shines as a tablet. The iPad Air and iPad Pro, on the other hand, both really need accessories to make them feel like a complete product. Speaking of which, there are a number of my favorite iPad accessories on sale for Prime Day that are worth checking out too. iPad Accessory Deals Apple Magic Keyboard for 13-inch iPad Air for $279: There are tons of iPad keyboard cases out there, and many of them are good.
