According to sources at Amazon, Target, Best Buy, and BH Photo, all four retailers are currently offering the discounted price on the A16 chip model. This deal is not limited to new purchases only; existing customers can also take advantage of the lower price when trading in their old iPad or purchasing a refurbished unit.
"We're thrilled to offer our customers this incredible deal on the latest iPad model," said a spokesperson for Amazon. "The A16 chip provides unparalleled performance and capabilities, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking for a tablet that can keep up with their busy lifestyle."
The new base-model iPad boasts twice the storage of its predecessor, along with the faster and more capable A16 chip. This upgrade makes the most affordable iPad even more appealing to consumers who want a device that can handle demanding tasks such as video editing, gaming, or streaming high-definition content.
