Prime Day 2025 is more than two and a half weeks from now, and the best iPad deals of the summer will be up for grabs. Technically, the next Prime Day sale is scheduled for July 8-11, yet it seems Amazon isn't sticking to the calendar.

I scrolled through today's best Apple deals on Amazon and found 7 shockingly good Prime Day-worthy deals you don't have to wait to get.

Right now, you can nab the Editor's Choice A16-powered Apple iPad 11 for just $299 ($50 off) at Amazon. This is the lowest price ever on Amazon and one of the best iPad deals I've seen all season.

For $59 more, you can bundle your new iPad with 2 years of AppleCare+ protection, which covers accidental damage.

The latest iPad runs on Apple's A16 chip, so it's noticeably faster than the iPad 10 and every release prior. It may lack Apple Intelligence, but it does support optional accessories like the Apple Magic Keyboard Folio and Apple Pencil USB-C to help you work smarter.

Overall, the 11th-generation A16 iPad is the Editor's Choice best tablet for most people.

That's just one example of the best Prime Day-like iPad deals available today. Read on to see more discounts I recommend and save up to $100.
