Amazon has just slashed the price of the 10th generation Apple iPad to an incredible $259.99, with shipping included. You can snag this deal in either Blue or Silver. This price is nearly the lowest we've ever seen for this model; it briefly hit $249 during Black Friday, but sold out in less than a day. The reason for this price drop is likely due to the recent announcement of the 11th generation iPad, which is now available for preorder on Amazon with a ship date in March.
