Prime Day has brought the entry-level iPad down to its lowest price yet. You can pick up the iPad A16 for $280 right now, which is $70 off and a record-low for the 11-inch tablet. If you’re on a budget, this is the iPad to get, and it’s one of the best Apple deals for Prime Day this year.
This tablet made our list of the best iPads and we particularly recommend it for the budget-conscious. It may lack some of the bells and whistles of its more expensive cousins, but it still gets the job done. It’s fast enough for most common tasks and the battery life is solid, at 10 hours per charge. It also ships with 6GB of RAM, which is a decent enough metric.
The tablet integrates with Wi-Fi 6 and features a USB-C connector, along with a pair of 12MP cameras. There’s also a Touch ID sensor, which can be used to unlock the device and to make payments.
This is the most basic tablet in Apple’s lineup, so it lacks some features. It doesn’t integrate with the Apple Pencil Pro or the Magic Keyboard. The display is also not quite as gorgeous as the iPad Air or Pro, but it’s still a Liquid Retina panel.
