Starting with the 2021 9th generation iPad, Amazon has introduced a new all-time low price on this tablet. You can get the 64GB Wi-Fi iPad for $229.00, down from $329.00, and the 256GB Wi-Fi iPad for $379.00, down from $479.00.
This is the iPad generation from before the design overhaul of the 10th generation, so it features a Home Button with Touch ID, A13 Bionic chip, and a 10.2-inch Retina display. Anyone looking for a simple and cheap iPad model to have for daily Internet browsing should be satisfied with this one.
10th Gen iPad
Moving to the more recent 10th generation iPad from 2022, Amazon also has a few solid low prices on these models. You can get the 64GB Wi-Fi iPad for $299.00, down from $349.00, and the 256GB Wi-Fi iPad for $449.00, down from $499.00.
Apple released these iPads in October 2022 with a complete redesign, introducing a larger display, USB-C port, A14 Bionic chip, and slim bezel design similar to the iPad Pro lineup. Although we're expecting an update to these iPads later this year, anyone looking for an iPad now who doesn't want to wait should definitely take advantage of Amazon's low prices.

It would be helpful if you’d explain why you regret it.
Agree.
For the love of god, please don’t get the 9th gen iPad. I bought it last year and I deeply regret it.
Why do you say that? I have one next to the bed for casual use (bought last year when John Lewis had a sale going) and so far it hasn't burst into flames, nor is it as slow as a dog… I mean, sure it's not an M4 Pro or whatever, but it's hardly a disaster.
Where is this rumor coming from? I can't find any information, not even here. No iPad updates in 2023 does mean something. Next month or October? I have iPad 7 with 32 Gigs. That is a royal pain but I got it in 2021 refurbished. Just installed iPad OS 18 Public Beta 3. While I like many things about Android, my iPad from 2019 is the best of all my tablets. It still gets updates. Can't say that about my Android tablets. I could purchase the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ for less than any iPad 9 or 10. 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage. Just sayin'. Apple needs to do better and stop selling 64 GB devices.
9th gen is the last one without a camera wart and with the old-school Lightning connector. I'm very tempted to upgrade my 8th gen, at these prices, but that will probably only buy me an extra year before it's obsolete.
