Apple's Best Hardware Deal Yet Sells for Under $350
The new 11-inch iPad starts at $349, offering a Retina Display, A16 chip, and 128GB of storage, making it an attractive budget option despite missing Apple Intelligence and Face ID. The A16 chip promises a 30% boost in overall performance compared to previous generations, while all-day battery life is also highlighted as a key feature. This price point may be too good to resist for those with modest needs and looking for a budget-friendly tablet.
- By setting such a low price for the base model, Apple appears to be positioning itself to attract new customers who are hesitant to invest in its more premium offerings.
- Will this strategy lead to cannibalization of sales from higher-end iPads, or will it help Apple tap into a broader market segment that was previously out of reach due to price?
