The iPad 9 isn’t even out, and Walmart already offers buyers a price cut for the cheapest version, matching Apple’s price for schools.
Apple kickstarted its “California Streaming” press conference earlier this week with an unexpected announcement. Apple unveiled the 9th-gen iPad and the 6th-gen iPad mini before getting to the Apple Watch Series 7 and iPhone 13. Apple said the new iPads would be available to preorder immediately after the show. The iPad 9 and iPad mini 6 will start shipping out on September 24th, which is also the iPhone 13’s release date. But even before the iPad 9 shipments begin, the affordable Apple tablet has already received a price cut. The iPad represents the cheapest entry into Apple’s tablet ecosystem. For many, it’s the perfect tablet to have around the house. The device starts at $329, offering buyers a legacy design. That means the screen has significant bezels at the top and bottom.
