Apple recently announced that it will host a "Scary Fast" product launch livestream on Oct. 30, and we already have some major predictions on what exactly will be unveiled. In the Mac category, for instance, we might be seeing an iMac with an M3 chip, a 13-inch MacBook Pro with an M3 chip, and more. Updates to products like the iPad and iPhone are still TBD, but this doesn't mean there already aren't some sweet savings on Apple tech available ahead of the company's Halloween event.

Case in point: As of October 26, you can get a 2021 Apple iPad (WiFi, 64GB) for just $249 instead of its usual $329, making this the 9th Gen iPad's lowest price ever. For pricing context, this 10.2-inch iPad dropped to its current price earlier this month for Prime Big Deal Days, but we're not sure how long it will stay here.

This particular iPad model is jam-packed with features like lightning-fast responsiveness (thanks to its A13 Bionic chip), the ability to craft gorgeous notes and illustrations with an Apple Pencil, the Center Stage video feature (which always keeps you centered in the frame, even when you're moving), and privacy protections you're sure to appreciate (like paying with your fingerprint). You can load up useful and fun apps on the 9th gen iPad, from video games to e-book readers.
