It’s not easy to choose the perfect iPad version to fit one’s personal preferences and specific requirements nowadays, but even though Apple’s 2018-released 9.7-incher is unlikely to rank very high on many shopping lists right now, it’s hard to argue with the quality/price ratio of this otherwise middling tablet at a massive $210 discount.

That’s obviously only enough for 32 gigs of local digital hoarding room and Wi-Fi connectivity, while the slightly older and humbler sixth-gen Apple iPad costs $349 at the time of this writing at Walmart in an LTE-enabled variant accommodating a lot more data. 

The main difference between the two slates is of course the screen size, although the newer and larger iPad also comes with a noteworthy upgrade in the RAM department and optional Smart Keyboard support. 

In other words, you should absolutely get Walmart’s deeply discounted 2018 iPad while you can if you’ve been hesitating between these two. The battery life is undoubtedly still awesome, the Retina display pretty much unrivaled in this price bracket, and the software support as outstanding as always, with at least a couple more major OS updates decidedly in the pipeline.
