Amazon started its Prime Day Sale yesterday and it runs through 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on Tuesday, July 16. If you have been thinking about getting a new iPad Pro, you can save some money if you do so before the sale ends.
The iPad Pro is the best iPad for attorneys. I use the Wi-Fi model of the 12.9" iPad Pro with 256 GB and I love this device. I bought it for $1,149 and that is still the price if you buy from Apple, but you can save almost $200 if you buy it through Amazon during the Prime Day sale. That savings covers all of the cost of the $129 Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) and then some, a fantastic deal. Here are all of the iPad Pro savings that you can get on Prime Day:
- iPad Pro 12.9" Cellular 1 TB - $250 savings
- iPad Pro 12.9" Cellular 512 GB - $149.01 savings
- iPad Pro 12.9" Cellular 256 GB - no savings

There are rumors that Apple might come out with a new iPad Pro this Fall. I'm not sure that I believe those rumors because (1) the current version of the iPad Pro, the third generation, was announced in October 2018 and there was a 19 month gap between the announcement of the first and second generation iPad Pro and a 16 month gap between the announcement of the second and third generation iPad Pro, and (2) the third generation iPad Pro is truly incredible device so Apple doesn't really need to update the hardware in 2019. Of course, Apple may do so anyway, but that doesn't take away from the third generation iPad Pro being a really great device.
If you consider yourself a more casual iPad user and you don't want all of the extra features of the iPad Pro but still want a good iPad, then the iPad Air may be for you. You won't get the larger screen and thin bezel that makes the iPad Pro appear to have an almost edge-to-edge screen, you won't be able to use the second generation of the Apple Pencil which is much better than the original one, the screen isn't as nice, you have to use Touch ID instead of Face ID, it isn't as fast, and you have to use Lightning instead of USB-C. But these are all "pro" features that nay not be worth it to you to spend the extra $300 or so. I don't believe that the iPad Air has a Prime Day sale associated with it, but I do see that you can save $30 on two of the models on Amazon:
- Cellular 256 GB - no savings
- Cellular 64 GB - $30 savings
- Wi-Fi 256 GB - no savings
- Wi-Fi 64 GB - $30 savings
There is also one model of the iPad mini — the Wi-Fi 256 GB model — with $30 savings.
There are discounts on some related products that might interest you. For example, you can save $14.01 on a pair of AirPods with a normal charging case or $20 on AirPods with a wireless charging case.
