In these days before Black Friday, every major retailer has started some version of their sale programming. That means we're seeing prices at or near record lows already, from the iPad Air at $100 off, the 10th generation iPad at $90 off, and the new iPad mini at $99 off.

As of Nov. 28, Apple’s 9th-gen iPad with 256GB storage is $279.99 at Amazon, a 42% discount from its usual $479 price.

The timing of this offer couldn’t be better as the older iPad 9th Generation (which featured a somewhat dated design) has already sold out during pre-Thanksgiving Black Friday sales. This leaves the iPad 10 as the most affordable option currently available in Apple’s tablet lineup.
