Best iPad deals for October Prime Day
Whether you're an artist in search of a multi-tasking tablet or an avid reader who wants more functionality than your standard e-reader might offer, iPads can serve a multitude of functions.
They are, however, not the cheapest tablets on the market, which is why waiting for a sale like Prime Big Deal Days (otherwise known as October Prime Day) has a certain strategic appeal.
Now that October Prime Day is in full swing, the iPad deals have gotten a real boost. Both the standard iPad and iPad Air, 11-inch are down to their lowest prices, plus, we spotted an iPad Pro down to its lowest price ever, too. Here are all of the best deals on iPads during Prime Big Deal Days.
Note: Deals marked with a 🔥 denote an all-time low price.

Why we like it
When it comes to iPads, there are plenty of options to choose from, but sometimes sticking to the basics makes the most sense. The A16 iPad is nothing flashy, but it's an excellent budget option that still has enough juice to power you through taking notes, watching your favorite shows, and reading books and articles. While we don't necessarily recommend it for anyone who wants their tablet to double up as a laptop, it'll more than do the job for most tablet-oriented everyday tasks.
Mashable Deals
The iPad, 11-inch model with A16 chip is down to $279, which according to Camelcamelcamel is the tablet's lowest price ever. It's now marked down $70, for 20% savings. It's the best deal we've spotted among iPads but if you're interested in investing in an iPad Air or Pro, there are plenty of savings to explore there.
