The 9.7 2017 iPad for $250.00 is ridiculously inexpensive.
Can someone verify if you have to open a NEW account with AT&T, Verizon, etc. in order to get the deal? I know that has been the case in the past with some of the gift card deals at Walmart and Target. I don’t want to have to switch providers if I end up buying.
Don’t think so. Sams Club (owned by Walmart) had same deal this last Saturday. I got two upgrades. $600 worth of gift cards.
This offer is also for the iPhone X, 7, and 7 Plus. See the attached screenshot from the ad.
It's all marketing. The "New iPad" is essentially an iPad Air 1 released in 2013 with a few minor upgrades. Sure it's a bargain compared to an iPad Pro but "ridiculously inexpensive" does not accurately describe anything Apple makes IMO. It just appears that way since they're ridiculously expensive most of the time.
Best deal is the $159 for Beats Studio3 Wireless headphones!

Yeah, its an iPad at an Android price point, without the aggravation of actually owning an Android device.![]()
OMG! I had an Amazon Fire HD. What a POC!!! I lost it. Haven't seen it for almost a year. I'm not upset...![]()
First, this isn't about the technical specifications of the 9.7 iPad, as I think you seem to be missing the point, as this is not in reference to the marketing of the 2017 iPad (Nor of which does the title of the iPad have a any marketing either, it's just the '9.7 iPad'). The idea that the 2017 iPad is ridiculously inexpensive is referring to the sale price on Black Friday, not in the sense that it's inexpensive anything Apple manufacures. As already mentioned in Post #17, nothing hardware wise is inexpensive manufactured by Apple, but when you factor a discounted iPad by $80.00 to an Already entry level price point of an iPad, that's what makes this
Sale price far more affordable than it's MSRP price point.
I think you're making more of it than is necessary. It was obvious (to me) that kazmac's reply to your post was meant to say that the sale price is about what the iPad 9.7 should be priced at. You even agree that Apple products are expensive (some say over-priced).
So, you are right...factually, the sale price is ridiculously inexpensive but many (like kazmac) think that iPad model should be priced lower to begin with and that the sale price is reasonable. Everyone has an opinion, right?![]()
Android tablets are awful. Their smartphones are a different story. Apple rules the tablet space. I wouldn't touch the Amazon Fire 7 for $50 or if it was given to me for free. Rather own a Note8 at 6.3".You have what is supposedly one of the "good ones". I've had a couple Android tablets. One generic, one Nexus. Both were free, both not worth what I paid for them. I hated just navigating around the settings, I couldn't imagine using them on a daily basis. Not even ten minutes of usage between the two and I knew Android wasn't for me.
All are entitled to opinions, which I agree with what you're saying primarily. But Given the 2017 iPad is priced at $329, I don't think it's unreasonable to begin with. Then if you add in the sale price at $250, I think that's well underpriced for what you're receiving in return for an entry level iPad.
Speaking of opinions, @kazmac also
Commented on Cook. Which I also interpreted the OP's post as being in disagreement with Apples pricing and Tim Cook, which incorporated the typical "Bean Counter" snide comment. And sometimes when I read comments like that, I see somebody who is conflating what they disagree with price point because they're looking for reason to not approve of Tim Cooks current pricing for products because it's unaffrodable to them, not others. In the case of this iPad, Kazmac doesn't agree with the price point because they don't approve of Cooks pricing.
I’ll take macOS and Mac reliability over a Windows laptop any day.macbook air $799 ???

Damn, still no deals on the 4K Apple TV![]()
Although there's nothing yet akin to a straight up BF deal, DIRECTV Now is running a Promo for a FREE Apple TV 4K starting Nov. 17th.
If you register & prepay 4 months of DIRECTV Now ($140), you'll receive a FREE 4K Apple TV - 32Gb.
So you get a 4K Apple TV + 4 Months of DIRECTV Now for just $140.
The 4K Apple TV alone is $179.99.
Here is the link to the details on the deal: https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/t/10806843
It's not the deal you were looking for.....but it's still a great deal, especially if someone wants or could benefit from DIRECTV Now (which is actually an excellent streaming alternative to cable).

[doublepost=1511096911][/doublepost]Little confused about article, will iPad ($250) be abailable online starting Thursday or not, also are there any online retailers which will be selling iPad so that u dont need to pay tax?
With a little over one week until Black Friday -- the popular shopping holiday in the United States -- most of the major retailers have shared the deals you can expect to see when you're out shopping or online next Friday, November 24. Because we're so close to some of the best deals of the year on multiple Apple products and accessories, as usual it's worth being aware that you may want to hold off on making purchases or taking advantages of sales in the days leading up to Black Friday.
Thanks to deal leaks and official announcements, our Black Friday Roundup already has a pretty good idea of the sales you can expect on Apple products next week from places like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. Below we've rounded up some of the best sales that have been announced for each retailer, along with the times you can expect to show up at each store. Note that many deals overlap, so it'll come down to personal preference and location for which retailer you choose to purchase from.
Best Buy
Like many other retailers, Best Buy's Black Friday sale actually starts on Thursday, kicking off at 5:00 p.m. local time on Thanksgiving, November 23. Stores will then close at 1:00 a.m. local time before opening up again at 8:00 a.m. local time on Black Friday. One of this year's most notable sales (across most retailers) is for the 2017 9.7-inch iPad Pro with 32GB of storage, at just $250 for the Wi-Fi only model.
[*]32GB 9.7-inch iPad (2017) will be available for $249.99, a discount of $80 off of the regular price of the device.![]()
