Amazon's October Prime Day is over, which means early Black Friday deals are starting to arrive, and one of the best offers we've spotted so far is on Apple's 10.2 iPad on sale for just $249 (was $329) at Amazon. That's an $80 discount and the lowest price I've ever seen for the 9th-generation iPad.

Apple's 2021 iPad 10.2 includes the speedy A13 Bionic chip and packs 64GB of storage, which allows you to store plenty of movies, apps, and games. The 9th generation tablet 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 an all-day battery life.
As I've mentioned above, this is the best deal you can find for the 10.2 iPad and an incredible price for a powerful Apple tablet. I can't guarantee you'll find a better offer during the official Black Friday deals event, so if you're in the market for a cheap iPad, we recommend grabbing this limited-time discount at Amazon before it's too late.
