Brief
iPad discounts expected to be modest during Amazon's October Prime Big Deal Days
Apple's 2026 price hikes mean iPad deals during Prime Day will be small, with most savings under 5% and larger cuts uncertain.
By Felo News Desk · Published
Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days on October 6‑7, 2026 will include iPad discounts, but Mashable notes the savings are expected to be minimal.
Apple raised iPad prices by $100‑$200 in 2026, pushing many models away from previous lows. According to Mashable, most iPads are already listed with about a 5% discount ahead of the event, and the outlet hopes larger reductions of $100‑$200 could appear once the sale starts.
The article cites historical low prices, such as the iPad with an A16 chip reaching $271.29 on Black Friday and the iPad Air with an M4 chip hitting $519.99 on May 17, 2026, both before the recent price increase. Mashable suggests those levels are unlikely to be matched during the Prime Day window.
