Amazon Prime Day in October is just hours away, and we've been tracking the best Apple Prime Day deals over on our live blog. Our conclusion? The best offers to be had are on the slightly older iPads. The 9th gen iPad costs $199 at Amazon (down from $329) and the 10th gen iPad costs $299 at Amazon, down from $349, and there are UK discounts to be had too. While neither of these iPads boasts the 'M' chip of newer models, they're still very capable machines that will be more than enough for most people.

Elsewhere, we're tracking the best Nintendo Switch offers as well as the best deals on office chairs this Prime Day.

Apple iPad 9th gen (2021)
Apple iPad 9th gen (2021): was US$329 now US$199 at Amazon US

9th-gen iPad: $329 $199 at Amazon
Save $130: This is a great iPad, and ideal 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
