Walmart and Best Buy have slashed the price on the latest-model iPad 128GB to $299. Regular price from Apple is $429. It’s often available for less than that, but $299 is lowest ever. (affiliate links below)
- Walmart – iPad 128GB for $299.99; silver, space gray, or gold
- Best Buy – iPad 128GB for $299.99; silver, space gray, or gold
You can often get the 32GB iPad on sale for $249, a lot of people would be more than happy to spend another $50 for the extra GBs.
You may have an Amex Offer deal to get $25 off $250 which would work well with this deal.
when and where should I pull the trigger on an iPad? I just want something formidable for work and on the go. But don’t want to dish out too much $
This is the perfect opportunity. I bought the last Gen IPad 128GB a few years ago for same price of $299 when they were clearing out inventory. The tablet has been fantastic. It’s a workhorse , no slowdowns and I’ve had it at least 2 years.
Decent deal if you need one right now but the rumor is they’re going to refresh these in the fall (possible next month), since they skipped the March refresh this year. See https://www.macrumors.com/2019/08/01/10-2-inch-ipad-release-date-rumor/
Correct. That is why the 128GB has come down to $300 several times this year already.
I need one because my old one is so old that Apple has stopped supporting the OS and Chase deems the device not meeting its security requirement to access Chase online. So I need one to bring on trips. Were going to buy an Samsung but with the price point of iPad coming down a lot, decided to just buy it a month ago at the exact price, also with the AMEX offer as well, plus it would earn BBY reward dollar too. So it was $25 and $5 cheaper. lol.
Don’t forget to stack with the recent Amex offer spend $250+, get $25 at Best Buy plus the additional Amex point offer. Thanks Doc for deal!
Oh sweet, let me add that and repost.
BBY had a one day sale in Jul for the exact same price same product – though the stocks ran out quickly esp on the Silver and Gold. I bought the Space Gray when the initial Silver already in the Cart became unavailable whether shipped or picked up.
Seems retailers and Apple want to clear the existing inventory before introducing the new model, esp this time the availability seems much better because many have already bought in the last 2 or 3 rounds at this price, as recently as on Jul 15.
