Tablets may come and go, but Apple iPads have always been best-in-class, from their well-built design to their brilliant displays. While finding a new iPad at a substantial discount can be a challenge, every so often a deal comes around that we can’t turn down. And such a deal is now available for a 9th generation iPad on Amazon, at $50 off the list price during Cyber Monday.
But wait, we hear you say — aren’t the latest iPads 10th-generation models? True, but the 9th-generation iPads still have a lot of life to them, plus features that are just as good now as they were when they were first introduced. Add the all-time-low price tag and we think you’ll agree that this iPad gives you great bang for the buck. Let’s take a look at what this iPad has to offer.
Apple iPad (9th Generation), $275.49 (16% off)
Most budget tablets come with modest processing power and on-board memory, enough to handle some mundane tasks and carry a few apps. Not so with this iPad, which uses an A13 bionic chip that can run multiple apps at once without a sweat and boasts a 64GB memory that can store photos, videos and more. The chip also provides solid graphics performance, and when you pair it with the iPad’s 10.2-inch Retina display, you get colors and video that outdo anything in a similar price range.
That high quality extends to the 12-megapixel wide-angle front camera and 8-megapixel rear camera, which you can use to capture high-quality photos and video, or put your best face forward for video meetings. This 9th-generation iPad also excels in battery life — a single charge can last through around 12 hours of continuous web browsing or video streaming.
We like that this iPad is ready to go right out of the box with iPadOS, which sets up your iPad and gives you access to literally over a million apps. And with an optional keyboard and Apple pencil, you can turn the tablet into a creative drawing tool or a mini-laptop that can handle productivity and entertainment apps better than normal laptops at the same price. The Touch ID is another nice touch (pun intended) that gives you extra security for unlocking the iPad, signing in to apps and making payments with Apple Pay.
Place all of the above inside a sturdy, light design that’s easy to hold for long periods and it all adds up to an affordable iPad that provides stellar performance for a wide range of applications, from office productivity apps to editing photos to surfing the Internet. It’s perfect if you’re looking for a meat-and-potatoes tablet for the family that gives you everything you need without the expensive extra bells and whistles. And thanks to Amazon’s Cyber Monday sale, you can’t beat its current price. Take advantage of this deal while you can!
