What you need to know
Apple’s 9th-generation iPad went on sale on September 24, 2021 after its unveiling at the September 14 Apple Event (where Apple also launched the iPhone 13 series, Apple Watch 7, and a new iPad mini).
The 9th-generation iPad maintains the 10.2-inch size (which is shared with the iPad Air), but compared to the previous generation, it got a True Tone display, an A13 Bionic processor, and twice as much storage. And for lucky UK readers, all of this costs £10 less than the previous generation!

Best Refurbished 10.2 inch iPad Deals
The deals you see above are generally from Apple resellers rather than Apple itself – Apple rarely lowers prices. However, Apple does sell refurbished iPads in its refurbished store. So you can make a bargain.
The iPads in Apple’s refurbished store may be ex-display stock, or they may have been returned to Apple due to a defect, but they are now fully refurbished and come with a full year warranty. It is not the same as buying second hand.
Check out the US Apple Refurbished Store to see if iPads are currently available.
If you’re in the UK, you may be able to find a 10.2-inch iPad in Apple’s Refurbished Store. For example, we’ve seen a 128GB gold iPad (8th generation) for £329 and a 32GB iPad (7th generation) for £209.
