Maybe 2024 is the year to give that upgrade a miss.

Five reasons to skip iPhone 16 and wait for iPhone 17

Although Apple’s tablet lineup has undergone several shakeups over the last several years, we long 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 sensible $349 and discontinued its entry-level model. But the 2021 iPad remains a perfectly good slate, especially now that the base model with 64GB of storage is down to an all-time low of $229 ($100 off) at Amazon and $229.99 at Best Buy.

Apple’s last-gen iPad has dropped to $229 for a limited time

Starting today, Amazon is offering the 9th gen (2021) Apple iPad 10.2" Wi-Fi 64GB tablet for only $224. This is lower than the best price we saw during Prime Day, and right now it's over $100 cheaper than the newest 10th gen model. This is the most affordable iPad model you can get brand new with warranty.

While it's true that the 2021 ninth-gen iPad is no longer the latest model in Apple's tablet lineup, it's still worth considering by anyone who wants to get the best tablet they can without breaking the bank. It's already relatively affordable at its usual $329 price, but Amazon is currently discounting it considerably, saving you $100 on this sleek Apple tablet. That drop to $229 is the steepest we've seen to date, but it's a limited-time deal which means that it could end at any time and, importantly, without warning. Be sure to keep that in mind when considering your purchase.

Apple's 9th-Gen iPad Price Crashes to a New Amazon Low With $100 Off

Apple's latest iPad Pro tablets are cool and powerful, but a $1000+ tablet with a mobile operating system is not everyone's cup of tea. Some people need a cheap, reliable iPad with a decent display, good speakers, and Apple's signature support. If you are one such user, the iPad 9 is probably what you are looking for. Right now, you can get this good old tablet for just $229. The Wi-Fi + Cellular is also available with a $100 discount.

Apple recently approved a new emulator app called UTM SE that enables your iPhone or iPad (or Vision Pro!) to masquerade as PC hardware and run honest-to-goodness computer desktop operating systems. Some of you asked in the comments section of my last story how it runs — a fair question that I couldn’t answer at the time. But now that I’ve tried it a little, I have answers, and I can say this much: it’s better than I expected, but I wouldn’t count on it for too much.

Anticipation is high for the iPhone 17 with significant changes expected compared to iPhone 16. Possible introduction of an Ultra model and a Slim model, expanding Apple's usual lineup.

When Apple launched its new M4 iPad Pro and M2 iPad Air tablets, there was no new entry-level iPad to go along with them. If you followed along with Apple rumors, though, you already knew not to expect one. Instead, the iPad 10 stayed in Apple’s lineup at a new price point of $349 instead of $449, while the iPad 9 was finally put out to pasture. Even at the new, lower price, however, it’s still a mistake to buy an iPad 10 directly from Apple. That’s the case with most Apple products these days, and it’s because other retailers offer much better prices.

Buying an iPad 10 from Apple is still a mistake, even after the price cut

Apple might have stopped selling the 9th-gen iPad, but that doesn’t mean it’s not still one of the best tablets for browsing, games, and streaming. The original MSRP was $329 and it’s usually on sale for $249, but today you can get it even cheaper: Amazon has slashed the raining stock of the 64GB iPad to $224, a savings of over $100 and the best price we’ve ever seen. The 256GB model is also on sale for $119 off bringing the price down to $360.
