So thank goodness for a deal that makes things simple. Any iPad for less than $200 is a steal, end of story.
What’s the Deal?
Right now at Best Buy, Apple’s 9th generation iPad is down from $330 to $199, knocking a whopping $130 off the price. For context, the current base-level iPad, the 10th generation, starts at $349.
What’s the Catch?
While the 9th generation might feature a slightly older design and only support the Apple Pencil 1, it’s still a super capable tablet with a great screen, at this price, one of the best iPad for drawing options for those on a very tight budget.
Compatibility Considerations
While the 9th generation does support the Apple Pencil, you might prefer a model that is compatible with one of the later styluses, such as the Apple Pencil Pro, or USB-C model. The current budget-level iPad, the 10th generation model, supports the Apple Pencil 1 and USB-C.
