We are approaching that time of year when there are both great deals live on Apple gear and offers quickly disappearing, moving into delivery times beyond Christmas or just entirely selling out. We detailed this situation on the Apple Watch Series 11 at its best price ever yesterday, but we also wanted to touch base regarding iPad 11 – Apple’s most affordable current-generation iPad is quickly selling out entirely at Amazon and the window to grab one at $279 is starting to close.
Best Buy launched a notable Apple sale this week and it remains one of the only major retailers still offering folks a chance to get a current-generation iPad under the tree for $279.
- iPad (A16) 128GB $279 (Reg. $349)
- iPad (A16) 256GB $379 (Reg. $349)
- iPad (A16) 512GB $579 (Reg. $349)
We did see the 11-inch iPad (A16) drop few bucks lower than this for Black Friday, before very quickly diving down to $272 or so, but the $279 deal price (really anything under $280) only pops up during major holiday sales like this and now’s your chance to scoop one up.
It’s clearly no iPad Pro or iPad Air, it’s not even as powerful as an iPad mini, but it is a great family tablet, something you can quickly grab and go from some browsing or video chats with friends and the fam, and something that will not break the bank. At a price like this, it is approaching the list prices on the most affordable entry-level Android tablets out there while providing a modern Apple iPad experience that is more than capable enough for casual use.
