Best Prime Day iPad Deals: Save $40 on an iPad Air, $100 on an iPad Pro

You'll find discounts at Amazon and Walmart right now on all of Apple's tablets as Prime Day nears.

Apple didn't announce any new iPads at WWDC 2022 earlier this month, but it did offer a preview of iPadOS 16 that will add better multitasking features to its tablets. The most recent hardware addition to the iPad lineup is the iPad Air that was released in March, bringing an update to the only iPad that missed a refresh in 2021.

The new iPad Air features Apple's M1 chip, found in the company's iPad Pros, along with 5G and a wider-angle, front-facing camera with the Center Stage autofocusing video feature. What it didn't get was expanded storage -- the new iPad Air models offer the same 64GB and 256GB capacities as the current versions at the same prices. You can save $40 right now at Amazon on the new iPad Air, which is only $9 less than the biggest discount we've seen for it.

The most affordable iPad remains the ninth-gen iPad, and it's even more affordable right now at its current $20 discount at Amazon and Walmart. The 10.2-inch iPad features the A13 Bionic chip, Apple's True Tone display, an improved front-facing camera and an increase in internal storage.

The iPad Mini is discounted by $25 at Amazon. Like the ninth-gen iPad, the sixth-gen iPad Mini was released last fall. It features an 8.3-inch display, the A15 Bionic chip, a USB-C charging port for a quick charge and a power button with Touch ID.

The 11- and 12.9-inch iPad Pros are now the oldest of Apple's tablets. They were the first non-Mac devices to be made with Apple's patented M1 chip when they hit the scene last spring. The 11-inch iPad Pro is $50 off at Amazon and the 12.9-inch iPad Pro $100 off at Amazon and Walmart, and you can save more on the higher-capacity Pro models.
