iPads have everything you love in a MacBook, just in a more portable package, which makes them perfect for summer travel. They fit easily in a personal item or carry-on but still bring Apple's signature speedy performance.
Amazon has been heavily discounting iPads this week during its annual summer Prime Day sale. But as of today, June 26 — the final day of the sale — most models are sold out. (As a matter of fact, the M4 iPad Air is completely out of stock there in every configuration.) What gives?
Blame Apple itself. The tech giant made its tablets more expensive on June 25, sending savvy shoppers flocking to third-party retailers that still had lower prices available. You're going to need to hustle if you want to score any of the remaining deals, including your cheapest option, the entry-level iPad.
If you don't want to comb through the listings yourself to see what's still available, just keep reading. We've rounded up a list of Amazon's best Prime Day iPad deals below. Note that they're no longer marked as on-sale following Apple's price changes, but they're up to $299 less expensive versus the Apple Store. (We checked.) To fill in Amazon's inventory gaps, we've also thrown in a couple of iPad deals that we found at Best Buy and Walmart, which are running their own anti-Prime Day sales this week.
We'll keep monitoring these iPad deals until the end of Prime Day in case their availability changes. Deals with a strikethrough were sold out at the time of writing, but could return later.
If you're thinking of buying any other Apple products, be sure check out our separate guide to the best last-minute Prime Day Apple deals, too.
Best Prime Day iPad deal
$449 Save $150
At $299, or $150 off its new MSRP of $449, we're shocked that the standard iPad is still up for grabs on Amazon. This is our favorite Apple tablet for budget shoppers and kids: It's not especially fast, but it has a premium, lightweight design with an 11-inch Liquid Retina display, a great 12MP camera, and Touch ID. It should last you about six hours per charge.
If this one sells out on Amazon, check Walmart's Deals event for a price match. The big-box store was also selling an open-box model for just $247.

Best non-Prime Day iPad deal
$749 Save $270
We think the iPad Air is the best tablet money can buy, period. Every configuration of the current M4 model is sold out on Amazon right now, but you can grab the last-gen M3 version for a steal at Best Buy. The 128GB base model with cellular connectivity is on sale there for only $479, or 36% off. (A similarly spec'd M4 model costs $899 as of this week, FYI.)
This is an incredible tablet that's as powerful as a laptop. So while you can do the basics — streaming, internet browsing, reading, and gaming — it can handle way more as needed. For creatives, that means graphic design, illustration, and photo and video editing. Compared to its M4 successor, the M3 iPad Air just has older WiFi tech, a little less RAM, and slightly slower (but still impressive) performance.
