Amazon just gave all their Apple lovers a big surprise this morning by discounting the latest

Apple 10.2

to $299, down $30 from its original price of $329. This deal was totally unexpected and tons of shoppers are all quietly celebrating from their work-from-home setups while jumping off of their Zoom calls to buy this must-have tablet. This is clearly one of the best, most unprecedented discounts we’ve seen on an Apple iPad in a while so buy it now before you miss your chance.

The new 10.2-inch Apple iPad hits the trifecta by being stylish, powerful, and affordable. The newly integrated A12 Bionic chip allows your iPad to work in overdrive so you can use heavy apps like Adobe Photoshop and stream the latest season of your favorite show with zero glitches or pauses. The 8MP back camera and front FaceTime HD camera will allow you to take pictures as clear as your newest iPhone and have the least blurry image on your weekly work calls. There’s also Touch ID for added protection and built-in stereo speakers that almost sound as good as a store-bought speaker setup. The latest iPad is also compatible with the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard so your next laptop doesn’t have to be a laptop. With the Apple Pencil, you can take even more detailed notes and illustrate all you want and the Magic Keyboard will allow you to have a more traditional PC-style setup. Weighing in at only about a pound, you can also carry your iPad anywhere from the longest of lectures to your favorite cafe for a much-needed coffee break.

For every movie junkie out there, buying the 10.2-inch iPad will also guarantee you a full year’s worth of Apple TV+. Even pro gamers will be satisfied: With Apple Arcade, you can try out a new game every day and connect to your Xbox or PlayStation controllers to turn your iPad into the portable gaming console, which you probably thought was the stuff of myths.

With all-day battery life, multitasking abilities, and clear retina display, you won’t find a better, more affordable tablet out there. Buy the 10.2-inch iPad now for only $299 before you miss this deal. This is one of the best iPad deals we’ve seen in a long, long time and we have no idea how long it will last. Time is of the essence so get shopping!

Why you should buy the Apple iPad 10.2
Still considered to be one of the best iPads for anyone on a budget, the Apple iPad 10.2 continues to offer great performance at an even more affordable price. In our Apple iPad 10.2 review, we cited how much we loved its great battery life, powerful internals, and amazing software support. It still has a lightning port, which feels increasingly dated with the rise of USB-C, and the display could be brighter, but those are all reasonable trade-offs in this price range.

Woman Using 2021 iPad Pro 11-inch

Because Apple makes some of the best tablets on the market, they tend to be quite pricey, and if you want to grab one yourself, then you'll definitely want to go for a deal. Unfortunately, even with direct discounts, it can be a lot to handle, so if you're looking to save even more money, then you may want to go with the refurbished option. Not only are some of the best iPads going for a fraction of the price, but refurbished tablets are great for the environment since they help decrease the amount of e-waste out there. Not to mention that you still get a warranty, so if there are any issues, you can send things back.

That said, if you still want a new iPad, then be sure to check out these iPad deals. You can also check out these great Apple deals for some more great options, especially if you want to grab other gear in the Apple ecosystem.
