While Amazon flashes huge Prime Day deals in our face, Walmart is quietly stealing the show when it comes to Prime Day iPad deals. The standout this week is the super cheap refurbished iPad as part of Walmart Prime Day deals. Who says Walmart deals are only good if they’re for a brand-new product? For $100, you’ll be able to take home a refurbished Apple iPad Air 9.7-inch model with Apple’s A7 chip, Wi-Fi connectivity, and 16GB of storage. Other bundle items include a set of USA Essential wireless earbuds, a protective case, screen shield, and charger.

Why you should buy the refurbished Apple iPad Air 9.7-inch

Whether you’re a student looking for an inexpensive tablet to take notes on, or a working professional that needs a reliable way to mirror graphs and spreadsheets to a projector, each generation of the iPad Air has prioritized portability and performance. This particular model (the Air A7) uses an older Apple processor, but that doesn’t mean your tablet is going to run slow. In fact, Amazon’s refurb process involves rigorous testing to ensure the iPad runs as close to like-new condition as possible.

Delivering max clock speeds of 1.3GHz, the iPad Air A7 uses a PowerVR G6430 GPU and 1GB of RAM. As mentioned, internal storage is capped at 16GB, and this is a Wi-Fi only version of the Air A7. In terms of resolution, the Air A7 brings 2048 x 1536 specs to the table, along with up to 10 hours of battery life.

One of the extra-nice things about promos like this is getting one or two accessories for free. As for the Air A7 bundle, the provided wireless earbuds sound good and are comfortable to wear (but should check out our list of true wireless earbud deals).

Considering this is a refurbished offer, we’re not sure how long this package price is going to last. But if you’ve been scouring Prime Day Apple deals in search of a low-cost iPad, now’s your chance to own one, plus a few other items, for only $100!

Best refurbished iPad deals: Get an iPad with warranty for $85

Woman Using 2021 iPad Pro 11-inch

It's probably no surprise that Apple has some of the best tablets on the market, ranging from some very affordable smaller AirPod Minis to the high-end iPad Pros that can be used for creative tasks such as design work. That said, even the cheaper iPads are quite expensive, let alone the best iPads, and if you're trying to save a little bit of extra cash, you may want to consider going for a refurbished iPad. Not only are they often cheaper than most iPad deals, but a lot of them tend to come with some kind of guarantee or warranty, so you can try them out to make sure everything works well. Plus, refurbished electronics help reduce e-waste, so it's great for the environment.

Apple iPad 9 (64GB, Wi-Fi) — $250, was $330

The Apple iPad 9 is a great place to start if you're want an iPad, like saving money, and don't mind previous gen stuff. It's still got a Full HD 2160 x 1620p resolution across its 10.2 inch screen and 64GB of storage. The 3GB of RAM might be low for modern apps, but if your main purpose is to sit down and watch videos, read assignment texts, and browse in a comfy location, you're going to be happy with the Apple iPad 9 just about as much as you would be with more modern models. To greatly summarize the thesis of our Apple iPad 9 review, the standard iPad model has traditionally had a lot of stability from model to model, so if you have experience with older iPads you're likely going to feel right at home here.
