Quotes & Reactions
MacRumors noted: “These are the best prices we’ve tracked yet on the brand new M5 iPad Pro, and only Amazon has the deals.”
AppleInsider added: “The $100 discount applies to the 2TB Nano-texture model in your choice of the 11-inch or 13-inch screen size.”
Tech analysts suggest this early discount strategy may be aimed at boosting initial sales and clearing inventory ahead of the holiday season.
Why It Matters
The M5 iPad Pro introduces major upgrades, including:
- M5 chip with 10-core CPU and GPU
- N1 chip supporting Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6
- Ultra Retina XDR display with tandem OLED technology
- Faster SSD storage and improved memory bandwidth
These features position the M5 iPad Pro as Apple’s most advanced tablet to date. The early discounts make it more accessible to consumers who want cutting-edge performance without paying full launch prices.
What’s Next
Amazon is expected to maintain these deals through the weekend, though availability may vary by configuration. No other major retailers have matched these prices yet.
Apple’s holiday promotions typically begin in early November, but this marks the earliest opportunity to save on the M5 iPad Pro.
