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.

It also has an attractive 10.2-inch screen. An LCD panel, you get a 2,160 x 1,620 resolution with a 265 pixels-per-inch density. As always with the best iPads, it looks sharp and colorful. It’s also very bright with a max brightness of 500 nits. Its stereo speakers aren’t great but they’ll suffice for streaming content. You can always hook something up to the headphone jack or use the Bluetooth connection.

Thanks to innovations within iPadOS, you’re also more likely to be able to work productively with the iPad 7th generation thanks to features like Slide Over and Split View. The forthcoming iPadOS 17 update supports the 6th generation and above, so this iPad should be supported through iPadOS 18 too. You can also add on an Apple Pencil, although only the first-generation model. For taking photos, there’s a simple 8-megapixel camera and a 1.2-megapixel selfie camera for video calls.

If you don’t mind having slightly older technology that’s also refurbished, being able to buy an Apple iPad 7th generation for $200 instead of $249 is a seriously good deal. You get all the benefits of iPadOS without having to spend as much as usual and this iPad should be supported for a while to come. Buy it now from Walmart before the deal ends soon.

Prime Day deals are still running for a few more hours with the event ending at the end of today.

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.

Alongside the many Prime Day deals that Amazon has been running, Walmart has also offered its own sale in the form of Walmart+ Week. One of the best deals there is on the third-generation iPhone SE for just $149. It's a huge saving 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 with Prime Day running to a close in a matter of hours, it's also likely that deals like these will end soon too. Here's what to expect from it.

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.
