Deal: Apple's 9.7-inch iPad (2018) price temporarily drops to just $250

One of the latest iPad launched by Apple, the 9.7-inch model is on sale in the United States for less than $80. However, unlike Amazon, Best Buy or other such U.S. retailers, Rakuten only offers big discounts to those who sign up for an account on their site.

Currently, the 9.7-inch iPad (2018) costs $298 at Altatac's official Rakuten storefront, but if you're logged into your Rakuten account, then you'll be able to apply an additional discount code (SAVE15) that will bring the price of the tablet down to nearly $250.

Apple usually sells the 9.7-inch iPad (2018) for $330, so that's good for $80 off the regular price. Amazon has a deal on Apple's iPad as well, but the discount is much smaller, as customers can pick this one up for around $300.

In any case, it's worth mentioning that Altatac is selling the Wi-Fi only model with 32GB on board, not the cellular variant, which is usually priced at $450 outright. Make sure to read our Apple iPad (2018) review to find out more details about the tablet.
