Today we're tracking a few deals on Apple's iPad lineup, including the 10.2-inch iPad and 8.3-inch iPad mini. The deals reach up to $90 off these tablets.
iPad mini
Every color of the 64GB Wi-Fi iPad mini 6 (except Starlight) is on sale for $409.00 on Amazon, down from $499.00. This price is about $10 higher than the all-time low sale on this tablet, but that sale has been rare and this is still a solid second-best offer.

10.2-inch iPad
Secondly, Amazon has the 64GB Wi-Fi iPad for $309.00, down from $329.00. Similar to the 64GB iPad mini, this deal is about $10 higher than the best price we've ever tracked on the iPad, so it's a solid second-best discount.
Additionally, the 256GB Wi-Fi model is on sale for $429.00, down from $479.00. Both Silver and Space Gray are available at this price, and in stock with delivery estimated for as soon as next week. This is an all-time low price on this version of the iPad.
