Amazon Prime Day 2025 is in full swing, and after digging through the noise, we’ve uncovered the only real Apple deals that are actually worth your time. If you’re a content creator, filmmaker, or editor, these iPads are not just shiny toys, but powerful mobile workstations. And yes, these are true Prime Day discounts. So what does Apple have in store?

iPad Air 13-inch with M3 Chip

📦 See on Amazon

This is Apple’s thinnest 13-inch device ever, and now powered by the desktop-grade M3 chip. For creators on the go, this means real multicore performance in LumaFusion, Procreate, or DaVinci Resolve for iPad. The larger screen size is ideal for editing timelines, reviewing scripts, or sketching storyboards. It’s like carrying a mini MacBook Pro, but lighter and more touch-friendly. If your workflow thrives on mobility, this is it.

iPad Air 11-inch with M3 Chip

Slightly more compact but just as capable, the 11-inch iPad Air offers the same M3 performance in a smaller, lighter form factor. It’s ideal for fieldwork, drone pilots, or mobile photographers who want snappy responsiveness and long battery life. This is especially useful when paired with tools like the DJI app or for on-the-fly content creation. And during Prime Day, this pricing won’t last.

iPad mini (A17 Pro Chip)

📦 See on Amazon

Apple surprised everyone by dropping its flagship A17 Pro chip, the same one found in the iPhone 15 Pro, into the tiny powerhouse that is the iPad mini. It’s pocket-sized and futureproof. For YouTubers, FPV drone pilots, or mobile journalists, this iPad mini is a killer tool. Whether you’re color grading on the road or transferring media from your camera, the USB-C port and high-speed chip make it easy.

Why These iPads Matter to Creators

Although Prime Day is full of gimmicks, these true deals come down to utility, and these iPads offer genuine power, especially when combined with Apple Pencil and external storage. We’ve seen creators use iPads for full mobile editing with DaVinci Resolve, drawing and VFX with Procreate and Affinity Photo, dual-screen setups in production vans or studios, transferring RED or ARRI footage in the field, and much, much more.  And compared to laptops, they offer better battery life and instant-on capabilities.

Final Takeaway

If you’re only buying one Apple product this Prime Day, make it count. These three iPads offer real creative horsepower at rare discounts, and we’re not seeing anything else from Apple that’s truly worth calling a Prime Day deal.
