That reputation is well-earned, given how simple they are to use and how long they typically hold up before needing to be replaced. Thankfully, if you don't already own one, Apple's entry-level iPad is on sale at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy starting at $279 ($70 off) - an all-time low - for Prime Big Deals Day. If you've been sleeping on upgrading an older iPad, or plan to give one as a gift this holiday season, now's the time to pick one up.
