Amazon and walmart are both $50 off the regular price of the standard iPad in the 256GB configuration, dropping the tablet from $479 to $429. Though it’s only a matter of time before Apple upgrades the entry-level tablet with an M1 CPU, the A13 Bionic processor in the current model still provides more than enough power to run most apps. The 10.2-inch Retina display with True Tone still looks great too, thanks to the ability to dynamically adjust the display’s color temperature, but there are a few modern concessions that are sadly missing here. The tablet still only supports charging via a Lightning connector, not USB-C, and can only work with the first-generation Apple Pencil.
