iPad 9th Gen Digital Trends
This story is part of Digital Trends' Cyber Monday coverage 2025

The Apple iPad has been a popular holiday item for several years now. With Cyber Monday officially here, we’re excited to see so many great iPad deals available. That leads us to this offer we found: For a limited time, when you purchase the 9th Gen iPad with A13 Bionic, you’ll only pay $200. At full price, this iPad sells for $480. We had the opportunity to test this model a while back, and our iPad expert had the following to say: “The iPad 10.2 (2021) is the best iPad you can buy today. There are few discernible upgrades over the previous two generations, but if you don’t have one, this is the one to get. If you do, there’s no point in upgrading.” If that’s not a solid argument for grabbing this 9th Gen iPad deal, I don’t know what is.

Why you should buy the 9th Gen iPad

Even though the A14 version of the iPad was released back in 2022, it’s not unusual for Apple to still sell the A13 version brand-new. And then, when holidays like Cyber Monday and Christmas roll around, the company knocks a few extra dollars off this 2021 device. Don’t be fooled either: the Apple A13 Bionic is an incredible chip that delivers a buttery smooth iPadOS experience, complete with fast load times, animations, and excellent media playback.

Visually, this 2021 iPad has a 10.2-inch Retina display that supports up to 1080p HD. Expect a bright and colorful picture on top of a terrific front-back camera system, a plug-and-play Lightning port for charging and data syncing, and all-day battery life. This version of the A13 iPad has 256GB of storage and Wi-Fi connectivity, too.

It’s hard to say how long this discount is going to hang around. Our experience with Cyber Monday tablet deals in the past is that the stock tends to go pretty quickly. That being said, today might be the one day to save this much on a great iPad. Take $130 off the 9th Gen Apple iPad with A13 Bionic when you order on Best Buy, and be sure to check out our list of the best Apple deals on your way out!

Motorola may have built the iPad alternative Android users have been waiting for
The Moto Pad 70 could be the affordable tablet that finally gets the basics right
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Motorola has revealed the Moto Pad 70, a new mid-range Android tablet with a large display, stylus support, 5G connectivity, and a sizeable battery.

The tablet will launch in India on August 8 through Flipkart. Its 12.1-inch 2.5K display, included Moto Pen, 10,200mAh battery, and 68W charging give it several features that could appeal to people considering Apple’s base iPad. However, the mid-range Dimensity 6400 processor means it is unlikely to match the iPad in raw performance.

Qualcomm is set to ratchet up chip prices in September, and your next gadget upgrade could bear the brunt
The price hike could touch every Snapdragon-powered device category.
The new Qualcomm Snadragon 8 Elite Gen 5

I want you to sit with this for a second. Qualcomm, the company whose Snapdragon chips sit inside your Android phone and tablet, your Windows laptop, your Meta smart glasses, your Galaxy Watch, and your wireless earbuds, reportedly sent a letter to every major customer telling them prices are going up by double digits. 

The price hike will be in effect from September 1, 2026, a recent Bloomberg report claims. Essentially, all the companies placing their chip orders after that will pay a higher price.

Stop losing your notes and start the school year with one of these e-readers that double as notebooks
Three e-readers with pen support worth adding to your back to school shopping list.

Your backpack is heavier than it needs to be. Multiple notebooks for all your classes, a stack of printed PDFs, and nothing that talks to anything else. The notes from week two are in a different notebook than the notes from week six, and you'd be lucky to find either one in December.

One device that you can use to read books and PDFs, take notes, and keep everything organized would fix this, and that's exactly what e-readers with pen input support are built to do. And you don't need to spend what you'd drop on textbooks for a semester to get one either. I've rounded up six worth buying this back-to-school season, and I'll tell you exactly who each one is for.
