Snag the 2021 iPad at a record-low $249 ahead of Prime Big Deal Days
SAVE $80: As of Oct. 9, the 2021 Apple iPad (9th generation) has plummeted to a record-low of $249 at Walmart during the Deals Holiday Kickoff event. That's a savings of 24%.
New iPads are expected to drop soon, which is your best chance to score an older model for a discount. Throw Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days (essentially a Prime Day part 2) into the mix and you have a recipe for finding the best iPad deals this season.
Case in point: As of Oct. 9, Walmart has the ninth-generation Apple iPad with 64GB of storage on sale for just $249 instead of the usual $329 — that's $80 in savings. Last Prime Day, it dropped to $249.99, which makes this a record-low price on this specific iPad model by 99 cents (every cent counts, right?). Amazon and Best Buy currently have the same model on sale for $269.99, so you'll save an extra $20.99 by heading over to Walmart during its anti-Prime Day event instead.
While this iPad is a few years old, it's still a fantastic tablet for most people looking to do basic tasks. Editors, artists, and gamers might want to look for a newer or more advanced model. It features the A13 chip, which offers more than enough power for streaming videos and shows, taking notes, Facetiming friends, and so on.
We don't expect this deal to stick around long, so if you're in the market for a new tablet, you might want to snag it ASAP.
