Hurry! Latest iPad 10.2 (2020) is already discounted — save $30

Amazon just gave all their Apple lovers a big surprise this morning by discounting the latest

Apple 10.2

to $299, down $30 from its original price of $329. This deal was totally unexpected and tons of shoppers are all quietly celebrating from their work-from-home setups while jumping off of their Zoom calls to buy this must-have tablet. This is clearly one of the best, most unprecedented discounts we’ve seen on an Apple iPad in a while so buy it now before you miss your chance.

The new 10.2-inch Apple iPad hits the trifecta by being stylish, powerful, and affordable. The newly integrated A12 Bionic chip allows your iPad to work in overdrive so you can use heavy apps like Adobe Photoshop and stream the latest season of your favorite show with zero glitches or pauses. The 8MP back camera and front FaceTime HD camera will allow you to take pictures as clear as your newest iPhone and have the least blurry image on your weekly work calls. There’s also Touch ID for added protection and built-in stereo speakers that almost sound as good as a store-bought speaker setup. The latest iPad is also compatible with the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard so your next laptop doesn’t have to be a laptop. With the Apple Pencil, you can take even more detailed notes and illustrate all you want and the Magic Keyboard will allow you to have a more traditional PC-style setup. Weighing in at only about a pound, you can also carry your iPad anywhere from the longest of lectures to your favorite cafe for a much-needed coffee break.

For every movie junkie out there, buying the 10.2-inch iPad will also guarantee you a full year’s worth of Apple TV+. Even pro gamers will be satisfied: With Apple Arcade, you can try out a new game every day and connect to your Xbox or PlayStation controllers to turn your iPad into the portable gaming console, which you probably thought was the stuff of myths.

With all-day battery life, multitasking abilities, and clear retina display, you won’t find a better, more affordable tablet out there. Buy the 10.2-inch iPad now for only $299 before you miss this deal. This is one of the best iPad deals we’ve seen in a long, long time and we have no idea how long it will last. Time is of the essence so get shopping!

4th of July sales drop this iPad back down to its cheapest-ever price
A man works on the Apple iPad 2021 at his desk.

Apple’s iPad lineup remains one of the most popular tablet options on the market, and for the 4th of July it offers some impressive savings as well. The Apple iPad 2021 model is discounted at Amazon right now, with its sale price at just $279. An additional $29 discount is available at checkout, which brings the 2021 iPad back down to its cheapest-ever price, as you can see here:

There’s a chance the Apple iPad 2021 model could come in at an even lower price come Prime Day. One way to go about landing the most savings possible is to purchase the iPad now and leave it unopened, and if a cheaper price turns up on Prime Day you can return this one and celebrate your well-researched savings.

Apple iPad is at its cheapest-ever price before Prime Day 2023
The iPad 10.2 on a table.

Amazon is currently offering some great iPad deals including being able to buy the Apple iPad (9th generation) for $250. It's currently showing as $279, reduced from $329, but add it to your basket and it gets even cheaper with $29 off at checkout bringing it down to just $250. That's $20 cheaper than it even managed during Black Friday although it was the same price back in March. It's unlikely that it'll be even cheaper during the Prime Day deals next month, although it could happen. That's why we suggest buying it now and choosing the longest shipping method so the return window spans all of Prime Day so you can return it if it somehow gets even cheaper. All you have to do is return it in its original condition for a full refund or replacement within 15 days of receipt. Want to know more about the iPad (9th generation) before you buy? Here's what to know.

Why you should buy the Apple iPad (9th generation)
The Apple iPad (9th generation) might be aging technology but thanks to Apple supporting its products for longer than most, it's still ideal if you want one of the best tablets but need to keep costs down. It's powered by the A13 Bionic chip which remains pretty reliable thanks to the App Store offering so many thousands of apps and games. A gorgeous-looking 10.2-inch Retina display gives you plenty of room to see what you're doing and it makes everything look great compared to other tablets in this price range.

Shopping for an iPad 10.2? You need to know about this deal
The iPad 10.2 on a table.

With the 2022 Apple iPad in the market, you're correct in thinking that you can get the 2021 Apple iPad with a 10.2-inch screen for cheaper than usual. For example, Amazon has slashed the price of the tablet's Wi-Fi, 64GB model to a very affordable $270, for $59 in savings from its original price of $329. Among all the tablet deals online, this offer is among the ones that provide the best value for your money, but you'll need to act fast and complete your purchase as soon as possible because we're not sure when it will expire.

Why you should buy the Apple iPad 10.2
The 10th-generation Apple iPad is already available, but the 9th-generation Apple iPad has certain advantages on top of its lower price. In our 2022 Apple iPad versus 2021 Apple iPad comparison, you may want to go for the 9th-generation Apple iPad if the thicker bezels appeal to you for browsing, and if you've invested in multiple Lightning cables as the 10th-generation iPad uses a USB-C port for charging. Both tablets may be upgraded to iPadOS 16, so you won't be missing out on the newest version of Apple's operating system for its tablets.
