The iPad Pro 11-Inch includes Apple's TrueDepth camera system that features an ultra-wide front camera with Center Stage, as well as a LiDAR Scanner for immersive AR capacity.

It has over 4,500 five-star ratings on Amazon, and shoppers are calling the iPad Pro the "best tablet in the world" because of its speedy processing and sleek design. "This tablet is amazing! So incredibly fast," one reviewer said, who added that they use it with the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard. Another person wrote that the screen quality is "perfect," but "the best part was the setup was a breeze."

Prime Day Deal Alert! This Top-Rated Shark Robot Vacuum Is 43% Off Right Now One reviewer praised the iPad for its high-quality display and sketch functionality. "Though I LOVE my iPad Pro this one gets a lot of use due to the size and portability," they wrote. "I find the new iPad even more responsive to the Apple Pencil. It's a joy to sketch on these or take quick notes during meetings, that then convert to text if I want." Amazon Buy It! iPad Pro 10.2-Inch, $309 (orig. $329); amazon.com Because they rarely go on sale, tablets and tech are some of the first products to sell out or become backordered on Prime Day, so you'll want to move quickly on these offers before it's too late. With crystal-clear cameras, lightning-fast processing, and large storage capacities for movies, books, and games, a heavily discounted Apple iPad is exactly what you need for a summer of relaxation — no matter where you're jetting off to.
