Apple Doesn’t Have Sales, But You Can Save $50 on an iPad Right Now During Labor Day Deals – Futurism

Labor Day weekend is a fantastic time to save on everything from a new pair of noise-cancelling earbuds to a splurge-worthy blender, but this $50 discount on an iPad (2021) really caught our attention. This deal from Best Buy is so special because Apple never discounts its own hardware, even during shopping events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday. So, now theres a rare opportunity to save on a piece of current-generation iPad hardware before it sells out or the sale ends. If youre in the market for a lower-priced tablet thats more powerful and capable than many Android alternatives, dont skip out on this deal.

The iPad (2021) is Apples newest entry-level tablet, but its more capable than its relatively low price suggests. The iPad (2021) has a 10.2-inch high-resolution touch screen, Apple A13 Bionic processor, 64 GB of storage, and a pair of stereo speakers. Its 12 megapixel front-facing camera is perfect for video calls with family or professional video conferences with colleagues and classmates, while the eight megapixel rear-facing camera will take respectable photos. Both cameras can record 1080p (Full HD) video.

Apple says that the iPad (2021) can last up to 10 hours before needing to be recharged, but your real-world experience with battery life will depend on the types of app you use, your screen brightness, and whether youre using WiFi and Bluetooth often. Once the iPad (2021) is tapped out, you can recharge it using a lightning cable, the same cord used to charge an iPhone or AirPods.

This is the last iPad to feature a TouchID sensor, which allows you to biometrically unlock the device by using your fingerprint. Its also the final model to feature a home button, which you can push to exit any application. The iPad (2021) runs iPadOS, the latest version of Apples tablet operating system, which means its got the newest features, security updates and apps. Apple announced that this iPad will receive the upcoming iPadOS 16 software update later this Autumn, and should be supported with new software for the next five years or so.

Generally speaking, the iPad (2021) is the tablet we would suggest to most people given its price-to-power ratio, and this Labor Day weekend deal only reinforces our recommendation. Its the ideal device to take on a plane as a personal in-flight entertainment center, use as a digital book reader, or edit photos and videos. Its the devices ability to scale itself to your needs without skipping a beat that makes it so appealing. Just keep in mind that Apples tech generally sells out quickly when its on sale, so you should probably shop sooner than later.

If your tablet needs are more serious were talking about folks who want to use their device to replace a laptop, or in professional creative environments youre also in luck. Best Buys Sale also includes discounts on virtually every iPad model, from the petite-but-powerful iPad Mini, to the massive 12.9-inch iPad Pro. Weve also found some great deals on other Apple hardware and Android-based iPad alternatives if you prefer their operating system over iPadOS.
