Quick - Apple's 2021 iPad crashes to record-low price ahead of Black Friday
This early Black Friday deal drops the 10.2-inch iPad to $269
While Black Friday deals officially launch a week from today, retailers like Amazon are getting a head start with record-low prices on some of its best-selling items like Apple's 10.2-inch iPad. The retailer just dropped the 2021 iPad to $269 (was $329) - that's the lowest price we've seen and the best early Black Friday iPad deal we've spotted so far.
Apple's 2021 iPad 10.2 includes the powerful A13 Bionic chip and packs 64GB of storage, which allows you to store plenty of movies, apps, and games. The 9th generation tablet also received an upgraded 12-megapixel front camera and includes Apple's Center Stage feature to help you stay in the frame during video calls. You also get a 10.2-inch Retina display, support for the Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard, and all-day battery life.
Apple's pricey iPads are always highly coveted Black Friday deals, with some of the best offers you'll find all year. While Amazon might offer a slightly larger discount at the official Black Friday sale, we predict it will go fast. Today's offer on the 2021 iPad brings the price back down to $269 - which is a record-low price, and you're guaranteed to walk away with today's deal.
