TL;DR: Snag an Open Box 8th Generation iPad (32GB, WiFi and LTE connectivity) for only $456.99 as of Sept. 22.


Justifying the cost of yet another Apple gadget can be tough. But when you learn some helpful tricks, like buying Open Box products, it’s much easier to defend your purchase. An Open Box product is generally opened by mistake or for quality checks — and once it’s been open, the company cannot legally sell it as new. Thus, they inspect it and triple-check it to make sure everything is up to par, then knock the price down to sell it. This is the best way to get a new Apple gadget for a lower price.

If you’re looking to add a new gadget to your arsenal, this Open Box 8th Generation iPad from 2020 is an awesome deal.

This unlocked iPad 8 is the perfect companion for both work and entertainment when you’re up and about. Its 10.2-inch retina display shows you your spreadsheets, websites, and even video content in crisp and vibrant colors. And its A12 Bionic chip ensures fast processing, allowing you to have multiple apps and tabs open at once. That way, you can reply to emails on one tab and stream YouTube content on another.

You can capture high-quality photos and enjoy FaceTime and Zoom calls from anywhere with this iPad’s 8MP back camera and 1.2MP front camera. And after you snap the perfect shot, you can save it within the 32GB internal storage. It’s powered by a 32.4Whr battery, so it’ll last you up to 10 hours on a single charge, making it an ideal companion for long flights and road trips as well.

You'll be surprised how often you reach for your iPad instead of your MacBook or iPhone. With both WiFi and LTE connectivity, it really is the perfect in-between gadget for on-the-go convenience and daily tasks. Snag this Open Box 8th Generation one for just $456.99 for a limited time.
