It’s highly likely that we’ll see pretty much all of the current iPad range on sale in some form as part of the Prime Day iPad sales. That means you’ll see discounts on the high-end Apple iPad Pro, along with the more modestly priced Apple iPad Air and Apple iPad Mini. With two forms of iPad Pro available — the 11-inch and the 12.9-inch varieties, it’s likely that both will be discounted to varying degrees.
Don’t forget the regular Apple iPad too. That’s likely to see a modest price cut or possibly even better.
What Prime Day iPad deals we saw last year
Last year didn’t see any particularly massive discounts on the Apple iPad range, but the Prime Day iPad deals were still solidly dependable. It mostly meant modest price cuts for the Apple iPad Mini, as well as the Apple iPad Air and Apple iPad.
Prime Day iPad sales were a little stronger with the Apple iPad Pro 11-inch and Apple iPad Pro 12.9-inch models. Obviously, these high-end options meant higher price tags overall but led to bigger discounts. This was even more attractive if you wanted to invest in a powerful tablet that would last.
Should you buy a new iPad on Prime Day?
Do you need an iPad? Then you know what to do. However, if you’re simply tempted by a new tablet then the decision is a little trickier. They’re highly versatile items allowing you to be productive and entertained while on the move. Our guide to the best iPad will help you figure out the best one for you.
If you’re wondering if it’s worth waiting until Black Friday for a bigger discount, we’re not convinced. Sales were quite similar last year and we expect it to be the same in 2021. We always recommend knowing what your budget is before you dive into the Prime Day iPad sales, and you should stick to it. Don’t be lured into an offer you can’t really afford.
Also, check the discount involved. If it’s an incremental and modest price change, it’s probably only worth buying if you know you definitely want the item in question.
