If you\u2019re looking for an iPad that\u2019s more affordable than cutting-edge, Amazon has the 2021 base model<\/a> for only $199. Although that\u2019s a generation behind the current version, this ninth-generation edition could be great for kids, seniors or those wanting a HomeKit-based smart home hub.<\/p>\n

The three-year-old model is still a capable tablet for anyone content with forgoing the latest and greatest hardware. The ninth-gen iPad<\/a> has a 10.2-inch Retina display and Apple\u2019s old home button-based Touch ID sensor. It runs on the A13 Bionic chip<\/a>, which has a six-core processor, quad-core GPU and octal-core Neural Engine. This isn\u2019t the model to get if you want screaming-fast speeds, the most eye-popping display or the upcoming Apple Intelligence<\/a>, but it\u2019s hard to nitpick too much about any of that when you look at the price.<\/p>\n

Engadget\u2019s 2021 review<\/a> found this model to be \u201ca modest update\u201d over the previous version. Nathan Ingraham described it as \u201ca fast, lightweight tablet with a nice display and tons of apps, without having to spend too much.\u201d In our battery test, we found that it outperformed Apple\u2019s 10-hour estimate, lasting about 14 hours of video streaming.<\/p>\n
