The best Prime Day tablet deals still live
UPDATE: Oct. 12, 2023, 10:40 a.m. EDT This post has been updated with the latest prices and availability of tablet deals still available post-Prime Day.
Amazon's Prime Day (this time as "Prime Big Deal Days") has come and gone for the second time this year, but that doesn't mean you missed your chance to get a new tablet or finally get your first tablet.
As always with tablets, the belle of the ball is anything with "iPad" in the name, and Prime Day continues to deliver on that front. The 2021 iPad is still on sale at its lowest price ever, and an iPad mini deal cropped up the day after the sale ended, but that's not all. Samsung's latest flagship tablet (with an included stylus) can currently be had for much less than market value, and there are still some savings available on Amazon's house brand Fire Tablets.
Whether you favor Apple, Android, or Amazon, there's something here for everyone.
Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a strikeout were either sold out or no longer available at their best sale price when we last checked. Anything marked with a 🔥 has dropped to an all-time low price.
Best iPad deal
Why we like it
Apple's 2021 iPad looks pretty basic and no-frills compared to the newer and more capable iPad Air, but that doesn't mean it can't hang. Its 10.2-inch display should be plenty for gaming and streaming videos, while built-in Apple Pencil support (sold separately) makes it a potential get for aspiring artists or idle doodlers. Just 64GB of storage isn't especially great, but for $249, it's hard to expect more than that. Minor nitpicks side, this iPad lives up to Apple's lofty standards for all its products, even if it's not the same kind of powerhouse as the more expensive iPad Air. Grab it at its lowest price ever from Amazon and Walmart.
Another great iPad deal
Why we like it
The $100 savings on the iPad Air may have come and gone, but the day after Prime Day, a new iPad got the same markdown — the iPad mini. While it's not quite the M1-powered Air, it is a great choice for anyone who values portability above all else in their tablet. Mashable's Stan Schroeder puts it simply in his review, "If you value more screen real estate over portability, get something else. If it's the other way around, the iPad mini is the best tablet you can get."

Best Android tablet under $1,000
Why we like it
If you want the beefiest specs around and don't care for iPadOS, it's hard to think of anything more appealing than Samsung's Galaxy Tab S9. This is an almost-brand-new Android tablet that's $120 off at Best Buy, bringing it down to a very agreeable $799.99. Yes, that's more than anything else on this list, but there are a number of good reasons for that. First, it sports a staggering 256GB of internal storage. Second, its Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip is about as good as it gets right now. And third, the dang thing comes with Samsung's S-Pen accessory. What's not to love about that?
