4 Reasons to Buy the 10.2-inch iPad & 2 Reasons to Wait in 2020

Should you buy the 10.2-inch iPad, wait for the 2020 iPad or look for deals? We have a full guide to help you decide if the cheapest iPad is still a good buy in early 2020, or if you are better off waiting for what’s next.

The $329 iPad is often on sale and it includes support for pro-level features like the Apple Pencil, Smart Keyboard and iPadOS 13. There is a ton of value, especially when you consider that you can often find $50 off at Best Buy or Amazon. While it’s not a must-have for every buyer, if you’re using an older model, or looking to replace an aging laptop, this might be the perfect device for you.

We know how the 10.2-inch iPad performs, what you can do with it and all the accessories. We also know the typical deals you can look forward to seeing throughout the year, so there aren’t many unknowns.

One reason you might not want to buy the current model right now is if you can wait for the 2020 iPad. This is relatively unknown right now, and we don’t expect to see a 10.2-inch 2020 iPad in March, but we could see one in September. If you are willing to wait six months, then hold off to see what a cheap 2020 iPad offers.

Here’s our guide to help you decide if you should buy the 10.2-inch iPad today, or if you should hold off for now. You can use this guide to figure out how much iPad storage you need and this roundup of the best iPad accessories to get started if you decide to buy one.
