Best October Prime Day tablet deals [2025]

Amazon's October Prime Day event is in full swing, and the tablet deals are living up to the hype. This morning, we saw some deep discounts on Samsung's latest models, and now Apple's powerful iPads are matching their record-low prices from the summer.

Think of this second Prime Day as your first real chance to get a jump on holiday shopping before the Black Friday chaos. We often see some of the year's best prices during this fall event, especially on tech that was released back in the spring. It's also worth remembering that Amazon's competitors aren't sitting this one out; we're seeing aggressive price-matching from Best Buy and Walmart.

We're tracking all the best deals from every major brand. Whether you're looking for something a little fancier, like the iPad Pro, or a simple streaming device like the Fire HD 10, here are the deals that are actually worth your money.

Best October Prime Day tablet deal overall

Why we like it

The formidable iPad Pro is one of the most powerful tablets you'll find from Apple. It offers the zippy, incredibly beefy M4 chip, and it's unbelievably thin at just 0.21 inches, weighing less than a pound. It's super sleek, perfectly portable, and its power rivals many laptops and some of Apple's own MacBooks. Not only does it work as a daily driver for professionals and creatives who need something that can keep up with them, but it's the perfect tablet in terms of ability and flexibility for just about anyone else as well. It offers a runtime of 16 hours, it can be used as the "heart" of a laptop setup with a portable keyboard, and it's fast enough to handle anything you throw at it. If you want a snappy Apple product but don't want to shell out for a MacBook, this is the next best thing by far.
