Best iPad deals on October Prime Day
October Prime Day has finally started, but early deals started cropping up days (weeks, even) ahead of the sale's official start.
Among the many items marked down early — including Apple Watches and AirPods — you'll find a decent variety of iPads, from M2 Airs to the ninth generation iPad. Although the retailer hasn't deemed any of the below official deals from the member-exclusive Prime Big Deal Days sale (aka the official name for this October Prime Day), we still think they're worth checking out ahead of time.

Apple iPad mini (6th gen, A15 Bionic chip, 64GB, WiFi) $499 at Apple.com Check out our full review of the iPad mini.
We're probably due for a new iPad mini soon, but this 2021 model still holds up as a great portable option from Apple. With the M4 Pro line just released this year, Apple is still struggling to get its tablets to be legitimate laptop replacements for most people. In the case that you're mainly using a tablet to watch videos, read books, and play games, the iPad mini is an excellent choice. At $379.99, it's back to the record-low price we saw it hit last month, making it one of the best iPad deals to grab ahead of Prime Big Deal Days.
