This Early Prime Day deal drops the 10th generation iPad to under $300 at Amazon
More and more deals are coming in the run-up to Prime Day, including this eye-catching offer for the 10th generation iPad. We quite like this iPad because it’s the cheapest and most recommended iPad you can get brand new, and it’s on our list of the best deals on tablets on Prime Day. It’s a 2022 iPad with an A14 Bionic chip, which makes it pretty fast and has a brilliant screen – and now you can get one for as little as $299.
That equates to the best price we’ve ever seen for Apple’s latest entry-level iPad, but we can’t vouch for how long this deal will last. The $50 discount only applies to the silver and yellow colors of the 64GB tablet 256GB And mobile enabled models also see a savings of $25 – $50.

Apple recently dropped the price of its 10th generation iPad following the debut of the new iPad Air and iPad Pro, from $399 to $349, and this deal at Amazon has driven the price down even further. Despite being the more affordable model in the range, this iPad offers pretty much everything most people would want from a tablet.

There are several improvements compared to its predecessor, including a larger 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, an improved 12 megapixel camera, better speakers and the A14 Bionic chip for faster performance. It has also been swapped into USB-C. This model comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, as well as Center Stage, making it great for video calling.
It’s worth noting that this iPad isn’t compatible with the Apple Pencil 2 or the new Apple Pencil Pro, so you’ll have to use the first-generation model and a USB-C dongle or grab the USB-C Pencil, both of which are sold separately. That said, our biggest issues with this iPad were its cost versus the older (but still functional) ninth-generation model, but this price reduction addresses that issue.
