Apple’s smallest iPad is now faster and more capable than ever. Featuring the A17 Pro chip, it’s perfect for mobile gaming and media enjoyment.

With a 10.9-inch screen, 64GB of storage and a 10-hour battery life, this iPad is a great pick for folks looking for an Apple tablet for everyday browsing, streaming and reading.

Is Amazon Prime Day a good time to buy a tablet?
While the Prime Day deals officially ended July 11, your needs and preferences will affect which tablet you buy. And with the deals over, not all options will be available. Some tablet options won’t be as competitively priced as others during Prime Day. Amazon’s deals on its Fire tablets are a great place to start if you’re looking for major discounts but you can also score some serious savings on iPads and models from other brands. If you have an older tablet you can trade in, you can potentially save even more through trade-in programs at retailers like Amazon and Best Buy on eligible models.
Do you need a membership for Prime Day tablet deals?
To access the vast majority of Prime Day deals, you’ll need to be a Prime member. If you’ve always yearned for the benefits of Prime but haven’t made the jump, now’s a great time to subscribe. Subscribing now could lead to significant savings because tariffs are expected to raise prices on many goods. While Prime Day has ended, there are still some Prime-exclusive deals going on now.

Are other retailers offering high-quality tablet deals?
Yes. In response to Prime Day, many of Amazon’s competitors also lowered prices across the board, including on tablets. Best Buy and Walmart are offering plenty of savings with competing sales that are still going on now through July 13. You may also spot deals directly at Dell, HP and Samsung.
Did tariffs affect this year’s Prime Day deals on tablets?
Tariffs are on the minds of many Americans and may have impacted how companies and consumers approached this year’s Prime Day event. Prices on items like electronics could very well increase soon, with companies like Apple trying to avoid this by moving manufacturing operations elsewhere. Meanwhile, a recent CNET survey found that 64% of shoppers were racing to make tech purchases before tariff price hikes could take effect,
How does CNET select the best Prime Day offers?
Our team of expert shoppers and deal hunters has spent years helping buyers understand which major sales and deals are legitimately good and which are more routine. That includes Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day and countless other shopping events. We’ve become very good at weeding out scams and superficial deals on all sorts of tech, so you see only the best offers on items, like tablets.
At CNET we look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time when choosing a deal to show you.
- Real discounts mean exactly that. We look at the price history for that product to make sure no manufacturers are inflating prices to make the discount seem more substantial than it is.
- Quality reviews are important for any product, but especially for deeply discounted items. Tablets can vary, so whether you’re looking for something cheap and easy to stream on or something more substantial for productivity or creative ventures, you’ll want to get the specs you need to do the things you want. If you don’t get enough mileage out of your purchase, the discount wasn’t worthwhile.
- Remaining sale time is a big part of our vetting process. If a deal is likely to be short-lived or limited to remaining stock, we’ll let you know upfront — so you’re not disappointed if you check back later and find it’s gone.
