Apple launched the 10.2in iPad back in September 2019 to replace the previous entry-level 9.7in iPad as the budget option in the company’s tablet offering. Apart from the larger 10.2in Retina display, the 7th generation iPad sports Apple’s new iPadOS operating system, features a smart connector which lets you attach a full-size external keyboard and integrates Apple Pencil support on a higher level than before.
So, where can you save a bit of cash on the 10.2in iPad in the UK?
At the time of writing, the best iPad deal can be found at Laptops Direct. The online retailer is offering the 32GB, Wi-Fi only iPad 10.2in in Silver for £329.97, offering a saving of £19.03 compared to the £349 RRP. Ignoring the fictitious £93 discount claim on the Laptops Direct site, this still offers great value for money, and there’s even free next-day delivery in the UK.
While it’s not quite as cheap as the deal from Laptops Direct, you can also pick up the iPad 10.2in from both Very and Amazon for £342, offering a £7 discount. But unlike the best deal, the iPad is available in Space Grey, Gold and Silver from Very and Amazon. It just depends on whether the Space Grey or Gold colour options are worth the extra cash to you!
