Apple products with a Black Friday price tag can even make Android fanboys turn their heads. How about the 9th-generation iPad (256GB) being discounted to $279.99 at Amazon? That's a 42% discount, or $199 in savings, on Apple's budget-friendly yet impressively capable tablet.

Fancy an iPad that doesn't cost a fortune but still gets OS updates and runs the latest apps? This will be your hand's final push to dig into your wallet. It features a gorgeous 10.2-inch Retina display ideal for streaming, browsing, and even drawing with an Apple Pencil (It's not included, but you can find one here for 40% off). True Tone technology adjusts the screen brightness and color temperature to match your environment. It's a handy feature that makes the retina screen easy for your eyes no matter where you use it.

So, what powers this budget beast? An A13 Bionic chip delivers solid performance for any task you can think of. Gaming, streaming, and browsing the web are all taken in this iPad's stride. Plus, with all-day battery life, you can count on it not to die in the middle of a bus ride. Although most people depend on cloud storage for backing up pictures and streaming services for music and video, 256GB of local storage still comes in handy for documents and downloads for offline Netflix binges.

The 12MP Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage is excellent for video calls, ensuring loved ones see more than your forehead (You know who you are). The 8MP back camera does the job, although don't expect massive flagship performance here.

At $279.99, this Black Friday iPad deal is a steal for anyone wanting to join the Apple ecosystem without the Apple price tag. Most users will be happy with its performance and compatibility with iOS updates and apps. This Black Friday deal will fly off warehouse shelves, so take advantage of it.
