- Apple's 10.2-inch iPad is currently on sale for $250, a significant discount from its usual price of $330.
- This is the ninth generation iPad with a 10.2-inch Retina display and the A13 Bionic processor.

Apple’s 10.2-inch iPad is on sale for $250, an all-time low from its typical price tag of $330. The tablet is available for purchase via Amazon, but it is unclear how long this discount will last. It is not often that iPads go on sale, but this year’s back-to-school deals have brought the tablet to an even more affordable price point. This is the ninth generation iPad with a 10.2-inch Retina display and the A13 Bionic processor.
The Cupertino tech giant launched the ninth-generation iPad in 2021, meaning that it is a couple of years old, but it is still a very capable device. Apple continues to support the older generation iPad in terms of iPadOS updates and will continue supporting it for at least three more years, if not more. Currently, the 10th generation iPad is also available for purchase, but for a significantly higher price of $506. However, it does not follow the classic iPad design that the ninth-generation tablet has with a physical home button and fingerprint reader combo.
For a limited time, those looking to add an iPad to their list of gadgets, the Apple iPad (9th Generation) is available at a $60 discount right off the bat. This means the sale price for the iPad is $270 compared to its typical price of $330. However, this is not the complete discount, as when you head over to checkout on Amazon, the sale price drops further to $250 through a limited time promotion, making it an amazing deal. This is a record low price for the iPad, but do note that this is the cost for the 64GB Wi-Fi-only model. It is available in both Silver and Space Gray color options.
Apple iPad 10.2-inch On Sale Via Amazon
2021 Apple 10.2-inch iPad
The 10.2-inch iPad (9th Generation) is the last Apple tablet to follow the old-generation design with the physical home button. It is powered by the A13 Bionic chip and comes with a 10.2-inch Retina display. There is an 8-megapixel camera on the back and a 12-megapixel shooter on the front. It has Wi-Fi 5 capabilities and supports the first-generation Apple Pencil.
The ninth generation Apple iPad is powered by the A13 Bionic Chip that features a 6-core CPU, 4-core GPU, and 8-core Neural Engine. It has a 10.2-inch Retina Display, an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera, and a 12-megapixel front camera with Center Stage. Being an older device, it is still powered by Apple’s lightning connector, as opposed to the USB Type-C in newer models. There are two speakers, Wi-Fi 5, and support for the first-generation Apple Pencil. The A13 has proven itself to be a powerful mobile chip, even though it is a few generations old, and Apple uses its newer, more powerful, M-series of in-house processors for most of its new iPad models.
Looking at the 10th generation iPad, it comes with a slightly larger 10.9-inch Liquid Retina Display with smaller bezels following the removal of the classic physical home button. It is powered by the A14 Bionic chip (still no M1 or M2) that ups the core count for the Neural Engine, doubling it to 16 cores. There is also a 12-megapixel camera on the back, a USB Type-C port, and Wi-Fi 6 capabilities. However, it starts from $450 for the 64GB Wi-Fi-only model and is offered in four colors.
The $80 effective discount on the ninth-generation Apple iPad makes it a great deal, especially for students looking to pick up a tablet before they head back to school.
