There should be better iPad deals dropping next week on Prime Day itself, but I’ve already spotted a tiny (but good) deal on the latest 10th-generation iPad if you’re feeling a little… impatient. Apple deals are rare at the best of times.

Apple iPad 10th-generation, 2022: Was £349, now £319.99, Amazon.co.uk

With a small discount of £30, the 2022 iPad is currently cheaper than it’s ever been at Amazon. “The new design, faster processor, better and bigger display are easily worth the price, and the new iPad is a real rival to the iPad Air, which usually costs £170 more,” The Independent’s tech critic said in his review. “This is the best tablet under £500 from any manufacturer, in my opinion.”

One of my favourite inventions (genuinely) is the nifty robot vacuum cleaner. While they used to cost a small fortune a few years ago, they’re now more affordable than ever (and are still just as good). Eufy makes some of my favourite suckers on the market, and this one is currently discounted by almost 40 per cent.

This tried and tested model from eufy currently has more than 40 per cent off at Amazon. When reviewing the vacuum our tester said that they “found the app and mapping function of the eufy’s among the best on the market. It’s fast and accurate; you can set no-go zones and spot-cleaning areas, too.”

For vibrant, clear and crisp pictures, you can’t go wrong with the Amazon Fire TV, which now has 42 per cent off the original price.
