Apple's 9th generation iPad is cheaper than ever on Amazon ahead of Prime Big Deal Days. Launched in 2021 and succeeded by the iPad 10, the iPad 9 is still one of the best tablets around in 2024.

Right now, you can pick up the iPad 9 for just $199 at Amazon. Typically $199, that's $130 in savings and the cheapest price it's ever dropped to. Although we normally don't recommend products over 2 years old, the iPad 9 is an exception. 

You'll see in our iPad 9 review, we gave it a solid rating of 4 out of 5 stars. It impressed us with its outstanding performance, bright, vivid display, and excellent battery life. 

If you want to add a tablet to your arsenal of everyday gadgets, at just under $200, the iPad 9 is a no-brainer.
