Just ahead of Amazon’s October Prime Big Deals Days, however, both Wi-Fi only and cellular-connected models are $100 off. The Wi-Fi version with 128GB of storage is currently $499, the 256GB model is $599, and the cellular model with 128GB of storage is $649. This base configuration of this tablet often sold for around $400 throughout 2025, so we get it if $500 for a tablet from late 2024 is still too much.
