Apple just jacked up prices across its entire iPad and Mac lineup, turning what seemed like ordinary Prime Day deals into absolute steals. Suddenly, those everyday discounts look way more appealing.
The biggest no-brainer is the base iPad. Previously hovering around $299 on Amazon (a $50 drop from its usual $349), this deal now shines brighter because Apple's website lists the same model at a hefty $449. This entry-level iPad is perfect for everyday use and content consumption, offering a fun, versatile gadget without the premium price tag that makes compromises hard to swallow.
Next up, the 2025 iPad mini is also seeing a $100 discount, bringing it down to $500. Considering Apple has bumped its price to $599, this deal feels even more substantial. If you've been eyeing the compact iPad mini, now's definitely the moment.
More powerful iPads are also worth a look. While the discounts aren't as dramatic, the iPad Pro in both sizes is $100 off, matching its typical sale price. At $1,199, it's still a significant investment, but that's $300 less than Apple's new pricing.
The iPad Air, ideal for users who need a bit more power for gaming or work on the go, also has a modest $700 discount on Amazon. With the new pricing context, this deal becomes more attractive, especially given its superior performance compared to the standard iPad.
Don't forget accessories! Many top-tier iPad accessories are also on sale for Prime Day. The Apple Magic Keyboard for the 13-inch iPad Air is down to $279, offering a seamless and enhanced user experience. The Lamicall Gooseneck iPad Holder is a bargain at $19, perfect for desk or bedside use. And for artists, the Astropad Rock Paper Pencil V2, priced at $38, provides that essential paper-like feel when using the Apple Pencil.
