Walmart slashes prices on Apple iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Beats, and Apple TV+

Black Friday is still six weeks away, but Walmart slashed prices on an inviting selection of Apple products. There are deals on iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, and Beats headphones by Dr. Dre. There’s also a free one-year subscription offer for Apple TV+, the new Netflix-like streaming service that launches November 1.

Walmart’s early Apple sale underscores the strategy of watching the retailer’s website for unannounced deals on the lead up to Black Friday. This sale doesn’t pop up when you go to Walmart’s site. I found out about these deals via an email I received as a Walmart shopper — another good reason to share your email address with merchants you shop regularly. We’ll continue to monitor the major sites and watch our emails for hints about unannounced sales and pass news of the deals on to you. Whether you’re getting a head start on holiday gift shopping or upgrading your tech, these nine deals can help you save up to $300.

Best back-to-school iPad deals: Get an Apple tablet for $220
Someone using Final Cut Pro on an iPad.

If you need one of the best iPad deals for taking back to school, or simply for fun, we're here to help. With some great iPad deals going on right now, we've highlighted some of the best of the bunch. Below, we've picked out iPads covering various different budgets so there's something for everyone here from the basic iPad to the iPad Pro. Let's take a look at what's best for you.
Apple iPad (64GB, Wi-Fi, 7th Gen) -- $220, was $249

This Apple iPad 7th generation might not be very new anymore but thanks to Apple supporting its products for a while to come, it remains a good option for those wanting to keep costs down. This particular model is refurbished so it's had a previous owner but has since been restored to excellent quality, just like if you bought it new. It offers a 10.2-inch Retina display with a 2160 x 1620 resolution, Apple A10 Fusion chip, and a massive 128GB of storage space. It also has a 8MP camera although it's best suited for occasional snaps or video calls rather than pure photography. It's a great introduction to tablets if you want something iPadOS based without spending a lot.

This $199 refurbished iPad deal is $120 cheaper than a new one

If you don't mind purchasing refurbished stock that looks like new, Walmart has one of the best iPad deals today. Right now, you can buy the Apple iPad 7th generation for only $200 saving you $49 off the usual price. Of course, it's a refurbished unit but Walmart promises that it works and looks like new so you're not missing out on anything other than spending more cash. It's an older model but thanks to Apple supporting iPads for a long time, you'll be fine. Here's a deeper look at what to expect from your new acquisition.

Why you should buy the Apple iPad
The Apple iPad 7th generation was launched back in 2019. Four years old, it's still reasonably powerful if you don't mind a few concessions in exchange for owning an iPadOS-based tablet. It's powered by the A10 Fusion processor that was seen in the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. It can still handle plenty of multitasking so there are no concerns there, although we'd recommend this as a tablet for someone who doesn't mind being a few steps behind technologically. After all, this isn't one of the best tablets anymore, but it's ideal for entertainment purposes.

Prime Day deals are still running for a few more hours with the event ending at the end of today. That still gives you a little more time to committing to buying an Apple iPad Mini while it's on sale. Right now, it's at one of its lowest-ever prices at $380 instead of its regular price of $499. Previous dips are usually more like $399 so this is a sweet extra saving over the usual discount. By now, you've probably considered Prime Day iPad deals for a little while. Don't delay, snap up the iPad Mini now before you miss your chance. If you still need convincing, here's a quick look at what to expect and why it's worth it.

Why you should buy the Apple iPad Mini
The Apple iPad Mini is a little powerhouse of a tablet. While so many of the best tablets focus on size, the Apple iPad Mini provides a great experience while being the kind of device you can toss into your bag. It has an attractive 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display that makes whatever you're doing look great. It has True Tone support along with P3 wide color so it always looks good, whether you're streaming your favorite shows or even indulging in a little video editing.
