Apple\u2019s 9th-gen iPad is back on sale via Amazon for $249,<\/ins><\/a> which is a 24 percent savings from the MSRP of $329. This isn\u2019t the lowest price ever for the standard 10.2-inch tablet, but it\u2019s darn close. This is the entry-level model with 64GB of storage, but that’s still plenty to load up the tablet with all kinds of streaming apps and games.<\/p>\n

The 9th-gen iPad is widely considered to be the best Apple tablet for the budget-conscious, which is made more evident by this sale. It scored an 86 in our initial review<\/ins><\/a> and we praised it for the improved camera for video calls, the excellent battery life and, of course, that consumer-friendly price.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As a matter of fact, this tablet made our list of the best Apple iPads,<\/ins><\/a> though that\u2019s something of a no-brainer. The screen is sharp and the 12MP camera is fine for most applications. This iPad also has a legitimate old-school headphone jack, which actually comes in quite handy when you can\u2019t find that teensy-tiny Lightning adapter.<\/p>\n

Of course, this tablet isn\u2019t perfect, particularly when compared to some of its pricier siblings. The hardware is basically a step down from the Air and Pro in several ways. The design itself is a bit antiquated, recalling older models, and it’s powered by the same chipset found with the iPhone 11. That\u2019s four iPhones ago, which is a lifetime in the world of tech.<\/p>\n

If your eyes roll into the back of your head when you look at the price of the iPad Air or Pro, however, this is the tablet for you. We called it the \u201cmost wallet-friendly way into iPadOS\u201d and that was before this steep discount.<\/p>\n
