Apple’s entry-level 10.2-inch iPad is down to its all-time low price of $249.99. That’s a massive $79 off the tablet’s retail price, making it much more affordable.

Amazon is providing a $59.01 discount on the listing page, with an additional $20 off applied at checkout.

2019 iPad packs dated internals

Apple unveiled the 10.2-inch iPad in September 2019. And the tablet’s age is evident from its internals. Sporting an A13 Bionic chip and 64GB storage, the entry-level iPad won’t win any awards for its performance. But it packs a solid 10.2-inch display that’s great for content consumption.

The A13 Bionic is also fast enough for daily use and note-taking. So you are not going to face any performance issues. Plus, the 10.2-inch iPad is slated to get iPadOS 17 later this year, which should bring support for Lock Screen widgets and other improvements.

If you want a tablet for video calls, the 10.2-inch iPad is an ideal fit. It houses a 12MP Ultra Wide camera in the front with Center Stage support. So you will always be in the frame while on video calls, even when moving around.

One major bummer with Apple’s entry-level iPad is that it uses a Lightning connector instead of USB-C. This could be a major annoyance if you have transitioned to USB-C across all your other devices.

Get the 10.2-inch iPad at its lowest price

At $329, the 10.2-inch iPad is already significantly cheaper than the iPad 10 and the iPad Air lineup. Add in the whopping $79 discount from Amazon, and you can get the tablet for an even more tempting price of $249.

Sure, you are getting a tablet with dated internals, but at its discounted price, it’s hard to beat the value the 10.2-inch iPad provides. Stocks could run out soon on this fantastic deal, so place your order soon.
