The latest iPad is on sale for a new low price

Save $50: As of Feb. 28, the ninth-generation iPad from 2021 (256GB, WiFi) in space gray is on sale for $429 at Walmart: 10% off its usual price of $479. For a general use tablet with plenty of storage space, this is a hard deal to beat.

If you're thinking about the best tablet out there, the tablet that really made tablets worth wanting, you're probably thinking about the iPad. Even after all these years, the standard iPad has held on to its iconique status.

The latest version of the iPad has rarely been on sale since its surprise drop last fall, and when it is, it sells out fast, We'd like to let you know it's time to get a little hasty — the 256GB ninth-gen iPad is on sale for $429 at Walmart. This is $20 cheaper than the last time we saw it on sale, and as far as we can tell, this tablet's lowest price ever. Naturally, the silver has already sold out (and both colors are completely sold out at Amazon), so you'll want to add the space gray to your cart ASAP if you're interested.

Because time is of the essence, here's a quick recap of why this particular iPad lives up to the Apple name. The A13 Bionic chip boosts your speed, the 10.2-inch Retina display comes with True Tone technology, the 12 megapixel camera allows for that sweet, sweet Center Stage on FaceTime, and it has a headphone jack. As a bonus, this 256GB model provides plenty of built-in storage space, so you'll likely never have to worry about deleting a few pictures or text chains to download a new app.

It's not the highest-powered iPad or the absolute smallest, but for a tablet that needs to suit a multitude of uses, it is one of the best in the game. After all, classics are classics for a reason.
