iPad for under Rs 20,000? Yes it could happen this month
The iPad 9 gen is quite old but even today you can get it with Apple’s latest iPadOS version which makes it usable for a few years if not more.
With special online sales on its way, there might be a few bargains to pick up this month. The Flipkart Big Billion Days 2024 sale is set to kick off on September 27. And in anticipation of the sale, the e-commerce giant has begun previewing exciting offers, including the iPad 9 gen, which will be available for under Rs 20,000.
A screenshot shared from tipster named Abhishek Yadav on X reveals that the iPad (2021) will be featured at a discounted price during Flipkart’s Big Billion Days Sale. According to the screenshot, the tablet is expected to be available for Rs 18,999.
However, the asterisk next to the price suggests that the final amount may include bank offers and additional sale benefits. When it was first released three years ago, the iPad (2021) had a starting price of Rs 30,000. Currently, the iPad 9 Gen is priced at Rs 29,900 on Flipkart. Therefore, a price of Rs 19,000 would represent a significant discount for those looking to purchase a new iPad, as long as you can meet the criteria for the full discount.
iPad 9th Generation At This Price: Worth It?
The iPad 9th Gen features a 10.2-inch LCD display with True Tone support and is equipped with the A13 Bionic chip, the same processor found in the iPhone 11. These devices will get the latest iPadOS update which means it will be of value in the market at least for another few years.
The iPad also has a 12MP ultrawide front camera with a 122-degree field of view, Center Stage support and an 8MP wide camera at the back. The biggest drawback could be the lightning connector supported by the iPad 9 gen for charging and accessories. You also have the Touch ID home button for biometric authentication, which got a new avatar on the iPad Air and Pro models.
In addition to the iPad 9th Gen, other Apple products are also anticipated to experience significant price reductions. The iPhone 15 could be available for approximately Rs 49,000 with bank offers, while the iPhone 13 might be priced around Rs 38,000, inclusive of offers.
