We track price changes of newly introduced iPad models since the official Apple shop opened on Amazon in 2018.

The rule is that you can save between 3 and 10%, compared to Apple web store. You can enjoy lower prices even when there is no shopping event currently running on Amazon (such as Prime Day or Black Friday).

On Black Friday and Prime Day, you can expect prices to be cut by up to 25% – but no more. Usually, during shopping event, you will see iPad deals on:

  • Older iPad models
  • More expensive variants
  • Less popular colors

Sometimes, even the models that has just been launched are given price cuts. It usually refers to more expensive variants – the ones with cellular connectivity and bigger internal memory. The price cuts on entry-level versions usually appear a few weeks after the launch.
