In a stunning Black Friday deal, Amazon has dramatically cut the price of the Apple iPad 9th Generation 256GB WiFi model and offers it at a mere $279, down from its original price of $479. While the latest iPad Pro models can easily exceed $1,000, this iPad 9 offers an excellent compromise to enter the Apple ecosystem at a fraction of the cost.

In these days before Black Friday, every major retailer has started some version of their sale programming. That means we're seeing prices at or near record lows already, from the iPad Air at $100 off, the 10th generation iPad at $90 off, and the new iPad mini at $99 off.

Right now, you can buy the iPad 10th Gen for $249 at Amazon. You’ll see the reduced price at $250, so you’ll need to apply the coupon to get the full discount. This matches the $249 deal we saw back in October, which is perfect if you missed that initial sale. However, keep in mind that the coupon only applies to the blue model.
