Apple won’t refresh its 10.9-inch iPad till fall, save $100 on the latest models from $349

Best Buy is offering Apple’s latest 10.9-inch iPad for $349 shipped. This drops from the usual $449 price tag that you’d pay on the 64GB Wi-Fi model in order to save you $100. It’s the best price since back in February and only the second discount of the year. You can also save on the 256GB model at $499, down from its $599 going rate at $100 off. Get a closer look in our launch coverage and then head below for more.

Apple’s latest 10.9-inch iPad was just refreshed right before winter with a more colorful design and more mid-range specs that make this quite the compelling alternative to the more Pro side of the lineup. Powered by the A14 Bionic chip, the whole experience is centered around a 10-inch Liquid Retina display backed by True Tone. Then packed within that new form-factor are many of the staples we’ve come to expect like Touch ID in the power button, a 12MP UltraWide camera with Center Stage that now arrives in a design that’s dedicated more towards landscape usage, as well as Wi-Fi and 5G for more flexible connectivity. 

Apple’s 10.9-inch iPad isn’t expected to be updated until later this year in the fall. Today’s discount offers quite a compelling price in the meantime for anyone who doesn’t want to wait, and it is only made better with another companion price cut today.

Now for all of the signature accessories that turn one of the best tablets on the market into one of the best portable productivity machines. Sure, this may be one of the more entry-level experiences in the iPadOS lineup, but there are plenty of more pro-leaning accessories that help you make the most of your machine. A great place to start is the signature Magic Keyboard Folio, which is now also getting in on the savings at $239.
