Apple’s Basic 10.2-inch iPad Hits the Best Prices This Year, Starting at $250 (Save $79+)

Amazon is currently offering Apple’s latest 10.2-inch iPad at the second-best price ever: $250 with free shipping. The price reduction will be applied automatically during checkout. This deal comes remarkably close to the all-time lowest price, with over a year passing since it reached that point. This is a significant markdown from the typical price of $329. With today’s offer marking the best price of the year, it translates to savings of $79 and stands as the first price drop in over 2 months. In addition to the base model, the 256GB capacity models and cellular configurations are also experiencing savings of $80. Further details can be found below, shedding light on what the entry-level iPad offers and why it’s worth your attention.

While not the most recent addition to the iPadOS lineup, the 10.2-inch model featured in this sale remains the most budget-friendly option available. It is powered by the A13 Bionic chip, known for its 20% increase in speed compared to its predecessor. This added power translates into enhanced features, including True Tone support for the 10.2-inch screen and Center Stage for the new 12MP ultrawide camera. Center Stage automatically adjusts the framing and zoom of your front camera based on the number of people and their positions within the shot. Even with the upgraded capacity, this iPad still falls below the current pricing of other iPad models.

To complement the experience, Amazon is also offering a discount on the companion Smart Keyboard Folio. This accessory, which provides a tactile typing experience for your 10.2-inch iPad, is now available for $132.99, reduced from its usual price of $159. Although we’ve seen some clearance offers surpassing today’s $26 discount in the past, this deal remains an excellent opportunity to enhance your iPadOS experience. Sporting a folio-style design, Apple’s in-house Smart Keyboard transforms the 10.2-inch iPad into a more functional workstation through its physical typing capabilities. Connecting to your tablet via Apple’s Smart Connector eliminates the need for dealing with Bluetooth or recharging the accessory.
