Amazon Prime Big Deals Days, or October Prime Day, is bringing a boatload of incredible deals. To that end, every single iPad model is currently on sale at the retail giant. If you want to save big on the best iPads, this is your chance.

Right now, Amazon has slashed the price of premium tablets like the M2 iPad Air and M4 iPad Pro — both available in their respective 11- and 13-inch models. You’ll also find excellent deals on the iPad mini and the iPad 10th Gen. I’ve either tested or reviewed all of these devices and can vouch that they’re some of the best tablets available.

Though we might see even lower prices during Prime Day proper, it’s unlikely we’ll see drastically reduced prices from what’s available. Because of that, I suggest taking advantage of these deals now.
