The entry-level Apple iPad with the A16 chip is on sale for $280[1] as a Prime Day[2] promotion. This is a discount of around $70 and represents a record-low price for the 11-inch tablet. The deal is available in multiple colorways and is one of the best Apple deals for Prime Day[3] this year.
This tablet made our list of the best iPads[4] 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[5]. 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.
Elsewhere among the Apple deals for Prime Day, you can get $150 off the iPad Air — both the 11-inch model[6] and the 13-inch model[7].
