I’ve been looking at iPad Prime Day deals for hours – the best offers are on older iPads

Save $130: This is a great iPad, and idea if you want a family tab to pass around and be used for streaming and light games. It’s the last but one generation, but to my mind it’s better value than the iPad 10, which tried to catch up with the iPad Air specs too much for my liking. And at $199, it’s a steal.

Price check: Best Buy: $199

Save $50: This is the next gen up from the iPad below and is a capable tablet. There’s 64GB storage, WiFi and the deal extends across four different colourways. It’s still not an ‘M’ chip but most people will find its more than enough for their needs.

Price check: Best Buy: $299

Save £100: There’s a decent deal on this budget iPad in the UK too. It’s currently almost at the lowest price we’ve seen – lower than July, but it will hopefully drop further.

Price check: Amazon: £279.97

Save $50: This tablet has 64GB storage and comes in Silver. We gave it four out of five stars in our iPad 2022 review and loved its bigger and brighter screen than its predecessor. Despite its slightly older chip, we found it more than capable of managing 4K video editing and graphics heavy gaming.

Price check: Very: £329
