The Wi-Fi, 64GB model of the ninth-generation Apple iPad featuring a 10.2-inch Retina display is down to its lowest price this year of $249, after an $80 discount by Amazon on its original price of $329. If you missed the previous chance to get the tablet for this cheap, here’s another opportunity — but you need to act fast if you don’t want to let it slip through your fingers again. This is one of the most interesting iPad deals online right now, so you should hurry with your purchase if you want to beat all the other interested shoppers.

Why you should buy the Apple iPad 10.2 (9th Gen)

The ninth-generation Apple iPad was released in 2021, but it’s still on our list of the best iPads as the top budget option because its performance, powered by Apple’s A13 Bionic chip that’s also in the iPhone 11 series, is still more than enough for the average user. The 10.2-inch Retina display is still gorgeous with sharp details and bright colors, which makes it the perfect screen for watching streaming shows, playing mobile games, and browsing social media.

Photography lovers will appreciate the ninth-generation Apple iPad’s 8MP Wide rear camera, which can also take 1080p HD video, while those who love making FaceTime calls will love the 12MP Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage technology, which will keep you in the middle of the frame even if you move around. For an added productivity boost, you can use the tablet with the first-generation Apple Pencil for drawing and taking notes, and the Smart Keyboard to transform it into a 2-in-1 laptop.

If you’re thinking about taking advantage of tablet deals, your attention should be on Amazon’s offer for the ninth-generation Apple iPad. The Wi-Fi, 64GB model of the device with a 10.2-inch Retina display is available for its cheapest price this year of $249, for savings of $80 on its sticker price of $329. It’s not going to stay this affordable for long — in fact, the bargain may be gone as soon as tomorrow — so if you want to get the Apple iPad 2021 with this discount, you need to complete the transaction as soon as possible.

Get a brand new iPhone for under $150 in the Prime Day sales

The Apple iPhone SE (2022) being held in a mans hand.

You may or may not be surprised to know that Amazon is kicking off its Prime Day Big Deal Days event in October, much closer to the holiday shopping season. Alongside the many Prime Day deals that Amazon has been running, many include Apple's iPhone in both old and new form. One of the best deals right now includes the third-generation iPhone SE for just $149. It's a huge savings of $230 compared to the original price of $379, although there is a catch -- the phone is locked to a Straight Talk prepaid subscription. Still, if that isn't an issue for you, this is a super sweet deal. You're going to need to be fast, though, as this offer will be gone before you know it. Here's what to expect if you're going to take advantage of the offer:

Why you should buy the third-generation Apple iPhone SE
The third-generation Apple iPhone SE, which was released in March 2022, is powered by Apple's A15 Bionic chip -- the same one that you'll find in the iPhone 13 and the iPhone 14. That means the Apple iPhone SE 2022 is pretty powerful for its price, with snappy performance when you launch even the most demanding apps and when you're multitasking between them. The device is also equipped with a 4.7-inch Retina HD display, which may be small compared to the screens of other modern smartphones, but it makes up for the lack of size with excellent color accuracy and overall high quality.

The best e-book readers are often great devices for finding some deals, and that’s especially true with Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event taking place right now. You can currently get the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite for just $95, which is its lowest price ever, and its first major discount since last year’s Black Friday sales event. This is the 8GB Kindle Paperwhite that’s discounted, which regularly costs $140, making this Prime Day deal worth $45 in savings. Amazon is including free shipping with a purchase.

Why you should buy the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
Known the world over for its portability and huge selection of models to choose from, the Amazon Kindle is a great tablet and e-reader option for just about anyone. With the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite model, you’re getting a device that will likely become the go-to device for readers in your household. It features a flush-front design and a 300 psi glare-free display that reads as much like real paper as any digital device is capable of, even in bright sunlight. The display comes in at 6.8 inches, and it has thinner borders than previous models, as well as adjustable warm light for comfortable reading in different lighting conditions.

The Google Pixel Tablet, which was just launched a few months ago, is already part of Amazon's new batch of Prime Day deals for Prime Big Deal Days 2023. Originally priced at $599, the 256GB model of the device is currently available for just $509, for savings of $90. We're not sure if this discount will last until the end of the shopping event though, or if stocks will still be available by then, so if you're interested in the Google Pixel Tablet, there's no time for hesitation -- complete the purchase as soon as you can.

Why you should buy the Google Pixel Tablet
The Google Pixel Tablet is fast and smooth as it's powered by 8GB of RAM and the Google Tensor G2 chip, which is the same one found in the Google Pixel 7 and Google Pixel 7 Pro, and it also features Google AI, which will keep making improvements to the tablet's performance depending on your usage. Its 11-inch touchscreen offers 2560 x 1600 resolution, and it ships with Android 13 pre-installed with the promise of three years of operating system updates.
