For the first time ever, Amazon is offering a brand new 9th gen (2021) Apple iPad 10.2" Wi-Fi 64GB tablet for only $199. That's 40% off the $329 list price and the lowest price we've seen. This is the most affordable iPad model you can get brand new with warranty. Right now you would have to pay an extra $120 to upgrade to the 10th gen Apple iPad; it's a better model but not necessarily worth the premium.

But that's only if you properly wash the vegetables you plan on eating. You never know which produce you bring home will be completely covered in pesticides.

 Once the stuff of science-fiction, the best foldable phones give you all the useful features of a giant screen, in a device that folds down into a handy, more pocket-friendly size.Because they’re more complex than regular phones, and because you’re essentially getting two devices in one, foldables tend to cost considerably more than your average mobile.

Weighing in at just 135 grams and measuring only 155 millimeters across, the DJI Neo is the smallest, lightest drone DJI has ever released. And with a preorder price of $199 (£169) it's also the cheapest. It even weighs significantly less than the 221-gram iPhone 15 Pro Max, making the Neo a potentially great option for those of you who are traveling light but still keen to capture aerial footage. That tiny size brings trade-offs though.
