It’s the best time of year to take advantage of dramatic Prime Day deals on top tech, including Apple products, which rarely go on sale. Explore impressive discounts in these Prime Day iPad deals. At the same time, today only, you can get the newest 12.9-inch Apple iPad Pro for only $1099. That’s an impressive $100 from its regular price of $1,200. There is no better iPad than the 2021 iPad Pro, and it can be yours, for less, this Prime Day.

When Digital Trends reviewed the 2021 iPad Pro, we noted that “the best gets even better.” And did it ever. This is an iPad for someone who wants faultless performance on an incredibly clear and highly functional 12.9-inch display. If aesthetics are part of your buying decision for an iPad, there’s no better designed tablet, and that includes its USB 4/Thunderbolt 3 port, a new feature for iPads. If you’ve been considering replacing your laptop with a tablet, this could be your chance.

You won’t find a more stunning display than the iPad Pro’s Liquid Retina XDR display, with a 264 pixel-per-inch density and a 120Hz refresh rate and featuring mini-LED display technology. What this means is the brightest colors as well as most defined contrasts of any tablet screen we’ve ever seen.

There’s amazing cameras to go with it, too. Apple has improved on last year’s camera technology with the front-facing camera moving from a 7-megapixel sensor to a new 12-megapixel ultrawide camera. For a workday that involves video calls, this is a dream come true, especially because this design change was made to accommodate Center Stage, which allows the camera to follow you around the room (the already impressive rear-facing cameras remain the same: A 12MP wide camera and a 10MP ultrawide camera).

Inside this tablet, the iPad Pro has some pretty unmatched hardware, and it’s loaded with features. It has Apple’s M1 chip, the cornerstone of this tablet’s top-tier performance. There’s 256 GB of storage and a USB-4 connection to help you offload extra data, as well as charge your iPad Pro, quickly (even though the battery on the new iPad Pro lasts an entire day). There’s Face ID for secure authentication as well as ease of access, and Apple Pay so you can leave your wallet at home. The audio setup is superb, and with support for Apple Pencil, Magic Keyboard, and Smart Keyboard Folio, you’ll have the potential for the ultimate creative or working tool, right at your fingertips.

Sales on Apple products are rare, and we almost never see discounts on the newest Apple products. But for Prime Day only, you can save $100 on the 12.9-inch 2021 Apple iPad Pro at Amazon. It’s only $1099 for Prime Day, a huge discount from its regular price of $,200. Don’t wait on this deal — it won’t last long.
