The 9th-generation Apple iPad, which features a 10.2-inch Retina display, is still featured in our list of the best tablets as the best value tablet, despite launching in 2021. That’s because it’s able to handle all the basic tasks that you’d think about doing on a tablet, such as browsing the internet, checking social media, playing simple games, and watching streaming shows, with Apple’s A13 Bionic chip. The tablet also features an 8MP Wide back camera, a 12MP Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage technology, and a battery life of up to 10 hours on a single charge.

The 10th-generation Apple iPad offers an all-new design that makes the tablet look sleeker and more modern, with a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display and Apple’s A14 Bionic chip that’s still pretty fast and smooth by today’s standards. The tablet retains its predecessors 12MP Ultra Wide front camera, but upgrades to a 12MP Wide back camera, and replaces the Lightning port with a USB-C port for improved compatibility. With all of these features and specifications, the 10th-generation Apple iPad claims its spot in our list of the best iPads as the best mid-range option.

The most popular iPad on Amazon (and one of our favorites) is $80 off

Apple tablets are some of the most popular and hold the market share in the U.S., and for very good reason. Probably one of the most popular, if not the most popular, tablets is the iPad 9th-generation, and that's very obvious given how many units it's sold on Amazon alone, which is over 10,000 in the last month alone. Not only that, but it's had an incredible 57,000+ reviews with an average rating of 4.8, which is actually very impressive, given how critical reviews tend to skew. If you want to grab one, you're in luck because Amazon has a great deal that brings them down to $249 from $329. That's a very respectable $80 discount, especially on a product that's essentially flying off the shelves.

Why you should buy the Apple iPad
There are a lot of great things to say about the 9th-generation Apple iPad, and beyond just the excellent price it's going for, it has a large 10.2-inch screen running the Retina display we all know and love, with vivid color reproduction and image fidelity. Under the hood, you'll find Apple's A13 Biochip, which is a couple of generations old at this point, but still more than powerful enough for most tasks that you'd throw at it on an average day. As for storage, it is admittedly on the lower side at 64GBs, but the 256GB model also has a deal on it, bringing it

Best After-Christmas iPad deals

We're finding great deals on the Apple iPad 9th Gen, in various configurations. It's already our choice as the best iPad on a budget, so these deals make it even more appealing. The trick to choosing which deal you want to buy here is if you want more storage space and if you want cellular data in addition to WiFi. Our review recommends the 64GB version if you're mostly sticking to productivity tasks, but the 256GB version is best if you want to game on your iPad as well, of it "there is an app for that" for too many of your hobbies. Cellular capability gets more personal, but if you already have your phone for that and intend to use the iPad at home, there's likely no need.
