The iPad 9th gen might not be the newest, brightest, most colorful, or even the most desirable tablet that you can choose from Apple's considerable stable of tablets, but it's one of the best ways to get an iPad for not a lot of money. This deal price makes it even cheaper and more accessible, as it drops below the $200 mark if you head over to Amazon.
With a $129 discount, the iPad is now just $199 — the least it's ever cost. This is perfect if you don't need all the snazzy features of the new models, or if you just want a tablet you can toss in a bag without having to worry about damaging its expensive shell. Heck, at this price it could even serve as a spare iPad for the drawer.
The best iPad price yet
While you might not be able to use the likes of Apple Intelligence when it comes out, most of the other new features in iPadOS 18 are going to be accessible. It might now be over 3 years old, but that does mean its a slouch — if you're looking for the perfect comic book companion, web browsing monster, or something for some light gaming, then the 9th gen iPad is going to fill your needs perfectly.
Just because its cheap doesn't mean you should skimp out on protection, of course — so make sure you pick up one of the best cases for the iPad 9th gen while you're at it.
