In case you weren’t aware or have forgotten, Labor Day is right around the corner. As a result, Amazon Labor Day deals on products are up, listed as going “up to 40% off” the standard price. One deal we found that hit that 40% target is the Apple iPad 9. Usually $329, you can save $130 and get yours for just $199 if you tap the button below and take advantage of this deal while it lasts. Alternatively, keep reading to see why we like it and why it’s the best iPad on a budget, even before sales are applied.

Why you should buy the Apple iPad 9

This version of the Apple iPad 9 has WiFi access and 64GB of storage, though there are both WiFi + Cellular and 256GB versions available. With these configurations, you should be able to enjoy watching shows, download games, and read and browse on the table to your heart’s content. In fact, even many of the best tablets of today do not have more than 64GB at their lowest configuration. Furthermore, the Apple iPad 9 has a 10.2 inch 2160 x 1620p retina display, the powerful-enough A13 Bionic chip, as well as 12MP ultrawide front and 8MP Wide back cameras that are capable of shooting 1080p video.

Our Apple iPad 9 review emphasized how it and the other 10.2-inch iPads of that era (2021) were among the best budget tablets at the time, especially for common everyday tasks. That means that if you want a tablet for reading, web browsing, etc. — this was and, let’s face it, likely still is a great choice for you. The fact that Amazon is awarding it the highest level of Labor Day discount only sweetens the pot.

Again, the Apple iPad 9 has Amazon’s highest advertised deal rate for Labor Day, a big 40%. That brings its price down to $199 from the standard $329 price point, saving you $130. To grab yours, all you need to do is tap the button below. Alternatively, shop the best iPad alternatives or other Apple iPad deals to do a bit of comparison shopping. Then, check out our list of the overall best Labor Day deals to get the most out of your long weekend.

The Apple iPad (10th Gen) is down to $331 for Cyber Monday

Are you ready? Cyber Monday is here and the deals are as green as ever. The Black Friday discount from Walmart on the Apple iPad (1oth Gen) is gone but the price is still low. The Wi-Fi, 64GB model is on sale for $331 (down from $349). It's not the most attractive Cyber Monday tablet deal that we've found but a discount is a discount. We're not sure for how long, though. Like with most Cyber Monday deals available, there's a chance that the offer disappears sooner than you think. If you want this device for a more affordable price than usual, we highly recommend buying soon.

Why you should buy the Apple iPad (10th Gen)
The Apple iPad (10th Gen), which was released in 2022, is the latest version of the base model of Apple's tablets. It's featured in our roundup of the best iPads as the one that you'd want to buy if you want to save some cash while still getting a great iPad. It's not as technically impressive as the sixth-generation Apple iPad Air, which tops that list, but the 10th-generation Apple iPad is about half the price while still delivering a really nice user experience with 2360 x 1640 resolution and 500 nits of brightness -- same as the sixth-generation Apple iPad Air -- on its slightly smaller 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display.

As you might have noticed, the Cyber Monday deals have arrived. One of our favorite deals features a discount on the Apple Watch Series 10. It's down to $329 (instead of $399) - saving you $70 for Cyber Monday. That's the lowest price it has ever been on Amazon, so if you’ve been waiting to treat yourself to the latest Apple Watch, this is a great time. It’s one of the best Cyber Monday smartwatch deals still around. Hurry, though, we don't know for how long.

 
Why you should buy the Apple Watch Series 10
As our Apple Watch Series 10 review explains, “the Apple Watch Series 10 is another strong entry in the Apple Watch family, and a (mostly) easy recommendation”. It has a new, thinner design than previous Apple Watches, along with a subtle but welcome screen upgrade. It also has a new speaker and improved charging speed, so it’s a good upgrade for existing Apple Watch owners.

I know, I know, you've probably been inundated with a ton of early Black Friday deals. Me too. But continuing with some more ESR deals, this time we're back with something a little different. Where before, you were looking at great deals on cases for Apple's devices. Here, we're looking at cases for the iPad and AirPods. With the iPad, it adds a bit of functionality, like doubling as a rotating stand for hands-free viewing. The AirPod case, on the other hand, supports MagSafe charging but offers ultimate drop protection to your earbuds and their wireless charging case. Let's take a closer look.
