Apple isn’t famous for offering discounts and Black Friday one of the few occasions when consumers can snag premium Apple products at reduced prices. This year, Amazon has outdone itself by offering the iPad 10th Generation (64GB Wi-Fi) at an unprecedented low price of $250 down from its original $349 price tag. This is a massive 28% discount achieved through a combination of Amazon’s Black Friday markdown and an additional $9 coupon that can be activated on the product page.
The timing of this offer couldn’t be better as the older iPad 9th Generation (which featured a somewhat dated design) has already sold out during pre-Thanksgiving Black Friday sales. This leaves the iPad 10 as the most affordable option currently available in Apple’s tablet lineup. What’s particularly appealing about this deal is that you’re getting a brand-new device with a contemporary design, complete with Apple’s official warranty. Stock may deplete rapidly at this price point: Given the swift sell-out of the iPad 9, it’s entirely possible that the iPad 10 could follow suit.
New Design, Great Performance
The iPad 10th Gen is features a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display that offers vibrant colors which it perfect for both work and entertainment. The device is powered by Apple’s A14 Bionic chip (you can find the same in the iPhone 12) which delivers great performance capabilities. This processor ensures smooth multitasking, responsive app launches and the ability to handle demanding tasks with ease.
Battery life is an area where the iPad 10th Generation truly shines, like almost all Apple products: the device offers all-day battery life which translates to up to 10 hours of web surfing on Wi-Fi or watching video. This makes it a good companion for travelers, students or anyone who needs a reliable device throughout a busy day without constantly worrying about recharging. The iPad 10 also makes the switch to USB-C which (finally) aligns with modern connectivity standards.
This iPad is also pretty good in terms of photography: it’s equipped with a 12MP front-facing camera (for video calls) which is complemented by a 12MP rear camera that captures great photos and videos. The inclusion of Touch ID provides a secure and convenient method for unlocking the device and authorizing purchases. Additionally, the iPad 10 supports Wi-Fi 6, ensuring faster and more reliable internet connectivity when connected to compatible networks.
For those considering this iPad deal as a holiday gift, Amazon has extended its return policy for the season. Products purchased now can be returned until January 31, 2025, which provides much more flexibility than the standard 30-day return window. You will have ample time to exchange or return the item if necessary, even after the holiday season.
