Down from the usual $449 price tag, this discount is $50 below what you’d pay at Amazon right now and delivering a new all-time low. Those who want a cellular model can also drop the price down to $579 for the 64GB configuration at Amazon.

Apple’s latest 10.9-inch iPad was just refreshed last mont with a more colorful design and more mid-range specs that make this quite the compelling alternative to the more Pro side of the lineup. Powered by the A14 Bionic chip, the whole experience is centered around a 10-inch Liquid Retina display backed by True Tone. Then packed within that new form-factor are many of the staples we’ve come to expect like Touch ID in the power button, a 12MP UltraWide camera with Center Stage that now arrives in a design that’s dedicated more towards landscape usage, as well as Wi-Fi and 5G for more flexible connectivity.
