Apple’s last-gen iPad has dropped to $224 for a restricted time

Although Apple’s tablet lineup has undergone cut offal shakeups over the last cut offal years, we lengthy considered the ninth-gen iPad to be the best budget iPad you could get. That changed when Apple dropped the price of the 10th-gen iPad to a more rational $349 and disproceedd its entry-level model. But the 2021 iPad remains a perfectly excellent stardy, especiassociate now that the base model with 64GB of storage is down to a novel low of around $224 ($105 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy.

As far as difficultware is troubleed, the ninth-gen iPad is very much a remnant of Apple’s establisher summarize language. The 10.2-inch tablet has a traditional iPad watch with huge bezels, a dedicated home button, and a Lightning port — not to allude a 3.5mm audio jack for using a pair of wired headphones.

Inside, you’ll discover Apple’s aging A13 processor, which, despite first ecombineing in the iPhone 11 in 2019, still presents speedy carry outance when carry outing games, watching movies, surfing the web, and tackling all the common skinnygs you might participate a tablet for. It’s still behelderlyen to the first-gen Apple Pencil and elderlyer accessories appreciate the Smart Keyboard, yes, but given its age and price, it’s an understandable tradeoff.

If you’re troubleed about help, rest promised that Apple’s last-gen iPad will be compatible with iPadOS 18 when it startes in the drop. It won’t help any of Apple’s forthcoming Apple Ininestablishigence features, though, which need a noveler iPad Pro or iPad Air model with an M1 chip or tardyr. I guess the novel calculator app will have to do.
