Amazon is now offering Apple’s latest 10.2-inch iPad for its best price ever. Black Friday is already living up to the excitment of offering the year’s best prices, and today’s discount on the most affordable iPad is proving that. It now sells for $229.99 shipped. That’s $99 off the usual $329 price tag and the very first time we’ve seen it under $249 – the previous all-time low. Also getting in on the savings are elevated 256GB capacity models as well as cellular configurations – both of which are now $99 off. Everything is an extra $19 under our previous mentions from earlier in the fall, too. Head below for some insight on how Apple’s entry-level tablet experience stacks up and why it’s worth a closer look.
While not the latest model to hit the iPadOS lineup, the 10.2-inch model on sale today is still the most affordable option on shelves right now and comes powered by the A13 Bionic chip that’s said to be 20% faster than its predecessor. As for how Apple is applying all that extra power, you’ll enjoy additional features like True Tone support for the 10.2-inch screen alongside Center Stage in the new 12MP ultrawide camera that automatically adjusts the crop and zoom of your selfie camera depending on who and where they are in the shot. Even with the elevated capacity, this is still below what you’ll pay for other iPads right now, too. Get a closer look in our launch coverage.
Elevating the experience, Amazon now also discounts the companion Smart Keyboard Folio. This offers a physical typing experience for your 10.2-inch iPad for $79, down from the usual $159 going rate. We’ve seen some clearance offers roll out all year, but nothing quite like this. It’s a new all-time low at 50% off, and makes it so you can outfit yourself with a full iPadOS setup for just $309 when paired with the discount above.
Arriving with a folio style design, Apple’s in-house Smart Keyboard turns its latest 10.2-inch iPad into more of a workstation thanks to the physical typing experience. Pairing to your tablet via Apple’s Smart Connector, there’s no need to fuss with Bluetooth or recharging the accessory, either.
