The Wi-Fi, 64GB model of the ninth-generation Apple iPad is currently available from Amazon for just $249, which is the tablet’s lowest-ever price at Amazon and the same price it was during October Prime Day. We’re not sure why the $80 in savings on the device’s sticker price of $329 is still online, but if you’ve been looking for iPad deals, this is an offer that you won’t want to miss. Its price may return to normal in the blink of an eye, so don’t waste any more time — push through with the transaction to secure the discount.

Why you should buy the Apple iPad 9th Gen

The ninth-generation Apple iPad isn’t the latest version of Apple’s entry-level tablet — that’s the 10th-generation Apple iPad — but the device remains on our list of the best iPads as the top choice for those who are on a budget. That’s because the ninth-generation Apple iPad still offers great performance by today’s standards despite the affordable price tag, as it’s powered by the A13 Bionic chip that was launched with the iPhone 11 series. The tablet may also be upgraded to iPadOS 17, which is the most recent update for Apple’s operating system for its tablets, so you won’t be missing out on the newest features.

The 10.2-inch Retina display of the ninth-generation Apple iPad is simply beautiful to look at, and for people who want a balance between a screen that’s large enough to enjoy watching streaming shows and portable enough to bring with you, it’s the perfect size. The tablet also comes with an 8MP rear-facing camera, and a 12MP front-facing camera with Center Stage that will keep you in the frame during FaceTime calls even if you move around the room.

Shoppers who are on the hunt for affordable tablet deals should set their sights on Wi-Fi, 64GB model of the ninth-generation Apple iPad, which is still available for its lowest-ever price of $249 from Amazon even though the October Prime Day is over. There’s a chance that the $80 discount on its original price of $329 doesn’t last long — in fact, it may be gone as soon as tomorrow — so if you want the ninth-generation Apple iPad for even cheaper than usual, you’re going to have to complete your purchase 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.
