Buy a new iPad for only $249 on Amazon Prime Day

Buying a tablet this Prime Day? Ask yourself this: What will I be using the tablet for? Will this be your on-the-go web browsing device? Are you setting it up on the kitchen top for recipes and music on a single tap? Or are you getting experimental and want a portable smart home monitor? 9th generation iPad It can do it all, even if it’s not Apple’s latest tablet.

In fact, it’s still available brand new at the Apple Store for $329. This is a great price for a great tablet. But right now, you can buy one for even less. Amazon’s Prime Day fares better than Apple’s Sweet $80 Off On the iPad model, it was brought down to an all-time low of $249 in pricing history.

For the price, you’re getting a 10.2-inch tablet that’s capable of running the latest version of iPadOS, Apple’s ever-improving software that brings widgets, customization, and other enhancements to the iPad experience. The form factor of the 9th generation iPad can be described as sleek and familiar. It’s also the only Apple tablet that still has a physical home button, which is great if navigation gestures and all aren’t for you, and has edge-to-edge bezels shining through.

That same Home button doubles as the TouchID sensor to unlock and allow App Store purchases, and some would argue it’s in a better position than the side-mounted one on the new iPad.

The thing I wouldn’t trust quite so much are the front and back cameras on this iPad model. They’re not the fastest sensors on the market, and I wouldn’t generally recommend using a tablet for photos and videos, but they’re good enough for video calls, which you can do yourself.

Overall, this is the cheapest iPad deal during Amazon’s Prime Day, and I don’t use that adjective often. If you want a tablet that gets the job done and gives you value for your money, then look no further than this offer.
