IPad 9th Gen Falls Below $200 Refurbished as Apple Raises New Device Prices

Best Buy is selling a certified refurbished Apple Refurbished Excellent iPad 9th Generation (10.2-inch, Wi‑Fi, 64GB, Space Gray) for $197.99 with free shipping, landing just under the $200 mark. The deal is positioned as a major savings versus the comparable value of $429.98, and comes as Apple raised prices on iPads in June 2026 amid a DRAM shortage that pushed memory costs to record levels. The key limitation: the iPad 9th generation does not support Apple Intelligence, which arrives with iPadOS 27 in fall 2026. Best Buy says quantities are limited and rain checks aren’t offered, as of July 29, 2026.
