Keep reading to find out whether you should buy a new Apple iPad right now or wait for a better sale (hint: Amazon Prime Day 2023 is right around the corner).
When to buy the Apple iPad 10th generation
The latest edition in Apple's classic iPad lineup is the iPad 10th generation. This 10.9-inch tablet features a Liquid Retina display with Apple's True Tone technology. It has Apple's A14 Bionic chip, an upgrade from the iPad 9's A13 chip. The iPad 10 is compatible with Wi-Fi 6 and 5G internet for fast performance. It also offers all-day battery life, so that you can easily take it to school, work or on your holiday travels without having to worry about plugging it in mid-day.
The iPad 10 goes on sale at Amazon once every month or two, but it typically doesn't get any lower than $399. At a current sale price of $400, you can confidently snag an iPad 10 now knowing that it's unlikely that a better deal will come along.

When to buy the Apple iPad Pro (2022)
The latest iPad Pro comes with several major upgrades. One of the most notable changes is that the 2022 iPad Pros are equipped with the M2 chip, the same fast and powerful chip included in the latest MacBooks. The M2 chip makes this the fastest iPad yet -- and an excellent iPad for video editing, streaming or gaming. Apple made some improvements to the writing and drawing experience on the new iPad Pros as well. When used with the Apple Pencil 2, the iPad Pro provides an effortless experience.
Amazon doesn't typically offer major discounts on the latest iPad Pro model. It did slip down to $699 once around the 2022 holidays, but its sale prices typically hover around $770. If you wait until Amazon Prime Day 2023, you might get lucky and see a discount similar to that $699 price, as Apple products do tend to go on sale during the annual event.

When to buy Apple iPad Air 5
Introduced in 2022, the 10.9-inch Apple iPad Air 5 is the latest in the lightweight iPad Air line. The iPad Air 5 offers performance up to 60 percent faster than the prior model, thanks to Apple's turbo-charged M1 chip. The device boasts a 12 MP wide-angle back camera that supports 4K video. It also offers touch ID, and Apple's Liquid Retina display.
The Apple iPad Air 5 is currently at its lowest price ever, so if you've been eyeing an iPad Air, you might want to act fast. Previously we've seen the tablet drop down to around $650 during sales, but now is the first time it's gone as low as $630 on Amazon. That's a major discount off the $749 list price.

When to buy the Apple iPad Mini 6
The iPad Mini 6 is a compact tablet with an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display screen. Released in 2021, the Apple tablet is powered by an A15 Bionic chip. It features a 12 MP wide-angle back camera, and a 12 MP ultra-wide-angle front camera. It boasts landscape stereo speakers. Available in four colors.
Note that the Apple iPad Mini is not compatible with Apple's external Magic Keyboard. It can, however, be used with other Bluetooth-enabled external keyboards.
The Apple iPad Mini retails for $499 on Apple's website, but Amazon currently has it marked down to $400. The iPad Mini 6 is frequently on sale at Amazon, possibly because the latest Mini model came out in 2021 so it is not as new as the models above. The lowest price we've ever seen for the 64 GB iPad Mini is $399. Since it's currently sitting at $400, now is a great time to buy.
