For Black Friday, Apple's 10th-gen iPad has dropped to its lowest price ever, making it an unbeatable deal for those seeking a reliable tablet for entertainment purposes. The 10th-gen iPad, which is our top recommendation for most people, is now available for $249.99 with Wi-Fi and 64GB of storage, a whopping $100 off its original price.

The 10th-gen iPad is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a basic tablet, especially when compared to Apple's latest iPad Mini, which starts at $499. Unless you're specifically seeking Apple's latest features, such as Apple Intelligence or a compact form factor, the 10th-gen iPad provides more than enough power and functionality for streaming, browsing the web, and video chatting.

The A14 Bionic processor in the entry-level iPad may not be as snappy as the Mini's A17 Pro chip, but it still offers ample power for everyday tasks. Additionally, the iPad boasts an impressive battery life of up to 10 hours or more when performing basic tasks, and around six or seven hours when doing light productivity work.

In contrast to its last-gen predecessor, which is also on sale for $199.99 ($129 off) at Best Buy and Target for Black Friday, the 10.9-inch slate features a USB-C port and an improved FaceTime camera that makes taking calls while holding it horizontally much easier. However, it's worth noting that the 10th-gen model doesn't support the newer Apple Pencil Pro, but it does support the USB-C Apple Pencil ($69) and the first-gen Apple Pencil ($59).

For those interested in purchasing the 10th-gen iPad, it's available at Amazon with the on-page coupon, as well as at Walmart and Target for $259 and $260, respectively.
