The Apple iPad Generation 10 in various colors.

To buy or not to buy a tablet: That is the age-old question, but there's nothing old about the Apple iPad 10th generation. IMO, it's the coolest device you can buy for yourself or someone else before October Prime Day ends. In fact, if I'm being totally honest, it's the only item I'm gifting to my loved ones from the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days event. So, if you're still searching for the perfect gift for someone on your list (including yourself), look no further than this trusty tablet—beloved by adults and alike—especially while it's up to $70 off until midnight tonight, Wednesday, Oct. 9.

Now, let me break down the deal for you, because you won't just get TikTok's favorite colorful iPad, which has the special ability to put a pen to digital paper, allowing you to jot down notes and sketch on the go. You'll also get two years of AppleCare+ from your purchase date to cover any potential repairs. So, if you've been thinking about securing one of these does-it-all tablets for yourself or someone on your list to do work, read books, play games and watch movies on, you definitely don't want to miss this markdown.

Still not convinced you want to take the plunge? You should know that this particular model, which came out in 2022, features fast connectivity, ample storage (64 gigabytes of memory, to be exact) *and* a 10.9-inch liquid retina display. The main difference between it and the previous model—the 9th generation iPad, also on sale until tonight—are the enhanced battery life, USB-C charging port and access to tons of iPad-optimized apps. A larger screen and adjusted camera position also make it easier to FaceTime, Zoom and take selfies.

Bottom line: This iPad is a worthwhile investment, especially since you'll get all the accessories you need to make it as functional as can be, even while traveling. Did I mention that the battery lasts up to ten hours? Yeah, you or someone you know needs this device in your life ASAP, and I think I do, too.
