For Prime Day, Amazon is offering the new 2024 Apple iPad Pro 11" M4 256GB model for only $849 after a $100 off instant discount and a $50 clippable coupon code. Alternatively the 13" model is $1149 after the same discounts. These are pretty hefty price drops for a current generation Apple model that was released in May of 2024 and the best deals we've seen for any iPad model so far on Prime Day. The new model is a significant improvement over its predecessor, with its upgraded M4 chip and absolutely gorgeous tandem OLED display.

In our 2024 iPad Pro M4 review, Jacqueline Thomas writes "For creative professionals, the 2024 iPad Pro is the most powerful tablet on the market and is going to shine if your work revolves around a touchscreen. For the rest of us, though, the iPad Pro is simply the most beautiful display you'll find in a tablet, with hardware that's powerful enough to be a top-end device for years to come."
The 2024 iPad Pro is the most powerful tablet on the market, iOS or otherwise, thanks to the new M4 processor which is both powerful and power efficient. Compared to the previous generation iPad M2, it performs about 20% better. However, the biggest update of the iPad Pro is not the M4 chip, but instead the tandem OLED panel which hadn't previously been seen on an Apple product. Tandem OLED panels are a vast improvement over traditional OLED panels you find in TVs in two ways: (1) it's far brighter and (2) it's less prone to burn-in. If you're wondering why this technology hasn't found its way into TVs, the answer is simply because it's not cost effective. The iPad can get away with it because the 11" screen is much smaller, but it's also why the iPad Pro is priced much higher than the other iPads in Apple's 2024 lineup.
