This story is part of Amazon Prime Day 2021, CNET’s guide to everything you need to know and how to make sure you get the best deal.
Prime Day 2021 has just arrived! This means that if you’re looking to save on an iPad, it might be time to throw in some deals.
One thing to keep in mind about Apple is that iPads often sell elsewhere for a little less than their list price at the Apple Store, where the cost is practically never cut. Decent sales are available right now (with savings of $ 30 to $ 60, or even more), but we may also see even better discounts once Prime Day officially kicks off Monday.
In other words: There are certainly some interesting discounts right now, but you might want to wait the last few hours until the official Prime Day begins before making your purchase. We will continue to monitor Amazon, as well as its competitors such as Target, Best Buy and Walmart, who have already announced Prime Day counter sales, for any price drops on this popular tablet brand. We’ve also rounded up other Prime Day tablet deals here.

The eighth generation iPad features a 10.2-inch display powered by the A12 chip. The 32GB model has a list price of $ 329, but has dropped to $ 299 on Amazon. We saw it drop to $ 279 last year at Costco, and it’s possible we’ll see this basic iPad drop on actual Prime Day or one of the counter sales.

Apple
Apple’s 10.9-inch iPad Air offers a lot of what the iPad Pro does, but for a lower price. This great value earned it our Editors’ Choice award last year, but the new Pro raises the bar (albeit for more money). This deal covers all color choices besides silver, so please be aware that prices may vary when selecting your style.
