Launching in 2021, the iPad 9th gen is still an excellent little machine. Using the powerful A13 bionic chip, a 10.2-inch Retina display, and 64GB of storage, it is now reduced by $80 in the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, down to its lowest-ever price.

With Black Friday now a month away, this is probably the best deal you will get on a 9th gen iPad for some time. That $80 reduction gives you enough extra to get yourself a case and screen protector to go alongside your brand-new device.

With a gorgeous 10.2-inch Retina display, an Ultra Wide front camera, and a selection of excellent apps, the iPad 9th gen combines the power of Apple's best devices with a great price point. With 64GB of storage, you should have enough room to take pictures, draw art, and play games without a problem.

Though this version doesn't come with cellular capabilities, it does have Wi-Fi, allowing you to watch movies and explore the internet easily from home or any wireless spot. If you pick up a 1st generation Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard alongside it, you can get even more usability out of this powerful device.

It can take 1080p HD video, making it excellent for video calling and the Touch ID makes it easy to unlock and pay for bills on the go. Made just before devices swapped to a USB-C connector, the Lightning port works particularly well if you have a Lightning iPhone.

Originally buying a Macbook for music and video production, he has since gone on to join the Apple ecosystem with as many devices as he can fit on his person.

With a degree in Law and Media and being a little too young to move onto the next step of his law career, James started writing from his bedroom about games, movies, tech, and anything else he could think of. Within months, this turned into a fully-fledged career as a freelance journalist.

As his extensive portfolio implies, James was predominantly a games journalist before joining iMore and brings with him a unique perspective on Apple itself. When not working, he is trying to catch up with the movies and albums of the year, as well as finally finishing the Yakuza series. If you like Midwest emo music or pretentious indie games that will make you cry, he’ll talk your ear off.
