If you’ve been wanting to purchase an iPad, you know how costly these tablets can get. You also know that Apple’s products rarely see sales. And with Black Friday offers hitting Amazon’s site, you may be carefully watching to snag a deal. Here’s your chance.

Following Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in June, the iPad 10th Gen got a permanent price drop to $349, and right now, you can swipe it up for $250 (save $99 with coupon). That’s right, less than three days ahead of one of the largest shopping days of the year, you can pocket the best savings we’ve seen in a minute on the iPad 10th Gen (64GB) in Blue or Silver thanks to a $9 off coupon on top of Amazon’s Black Friday discount (just be sure to apply the coupon before checking out). You can also grab the Pink and Yellow models for just $259 (save $90).

This beats Amazon’s $299 price we saw during this past July Prime Day, and beats out current offers between $259-$279 at several major retailers, including Walmart, and Best Buy. Remember, Apple products don’t frequently see price cuts, and with the holiday season just around the corner, this iPad deal may be selling quick.

The 10th Gen, released in 2022, is Apple’s base-model iPad. It boasts substantial upgrades, like symmetrical bezels, a larger 10.9-inch display, Magic Keyboard Folio support, and the latest software version, iPadOS 16. 

The 10th Gen has thinner bezels surrounding a larger Liquid Retina display in place of the front-facing Touch ID and home button. Apple moved the fingerprint sensor to the outer edge, and dual speakers flank the left and right sides when the tablet is held in landscape orientation. The whole unit weighs approximately one pound.

ZDNET’s Kerry Wan went hands-on with the iPad 10th Gen in 2022 and was impressed with Apple’s upgrades to its base model. He continued using the tablet well into 2023, updating his review in May of that year.

“My ‘first impressions’ hot take is still ablaze: the iPad beats out the iPad Pro model in two regards. The first is Apple’s own accessories. The second area where the regular iPad edges out the Pro is camera placement,” Wan wrote in his review. 

If you’re looking to snag the 10th Gen iPad, which Wan says stacks up pretty well against the more expensive iPad Air, be sure to jump on this sweet deal while it lasts.
