Looking to buy an iPad for cheap? Apple’s 10.2-inch iPad is available for its lowest price of $269 on Amazon, making it more affordable than ever after a $60 discount.

The 256GB variant of the tablet is available with an even bigger $80 discount. The 10.2-inch iPad was last available for this price during Black Friday 2022.

10.2-inch iPad still packs a punch

Apple’s 10.2-inch iPad sports a dated design and internals. From the outside, it looks the same as the entry-level iPads before it, featuring large bezels on two sides. There’s a Touch ID button on the bottom bezel as well. At the front, you also get a 10.2-inch Retina display with True Tone support.

There’s also a 12MP Ultra Wide camera in the front with Center Stage support. The feature will automatically place you in the center during video calls. At the rear, you get an 8MP shooter.

Internally, the tablet sports an A13 Bionic chip. While not the fastest, it is a decently powerful SoC that can handle most heavy apps and games on the App Store. It is ideal for note-taking and casual use, including content consumption.

Unlike the rest of the iPad lineup, the 10.2-inch iPad uses a Lightning connector for charging and data transfer. Depending on whether you have jumped onto the USB-C bandwagon or not, this could be a pro or con for you.

Save $60 on the entry-level 10.2-inch iPad

Amazon is currently selling the 10.2-inch iPad for $269. This translates into an 18% discount off its MSRP and a saving of $60 for you. The deal is available in silver and space gray colors of the tablet.

Do note that the entry-level iPad ships with 64GB storage, which might be a limiting factor. Thankfully, Amazon is offering an even better deal on the 256GB 10.2-inch iPad. You can get it for $399 after scoring $80 off its $479 retail price. You can get a similar $80 discount on the tablet’s 256GB cellular variant.

The deals are unlikely to last long, so pull the trigger on the model you want as soon as possible.
