Apple charges £429 for the 128GB iPad, but Tesco sells the exact same tablet for £100 less.
At Tesco, the Apple iPad (A16) Wi-Fi 128GB has dropped from its RRP of £429 to £329, a saving of £100, a 23% discount what you would pay if you bought directly through Apple’s own store.
The Apple iPad (A16) costs £329 at Tesco, £100 less than Apple
With the A16 chip and an 11-inch Liquid Retina display, the Apple iPad (A16) Wi-Fi 128GB is down to £329 at Tesco, a saving of £100.
If you keep £100 aside, you can put the money towards an Apple Pencil, a keyboard case or a few months of streaming. This makes purchasing a single tablet something much closer to having a complete setup from day one.
And this setup has plenty of room to grow, as the iPad (A16) starts at 128GB instead of the 64GB that was common on older entry-level iPads, leaving room for apps, offline movie downloads, and a semester’s worth of school documents.
Everything stored there runs on the A16 Bionic chip, paired with 6GB of RAM and a 16-core Neural Engine. What this means in practice is that Live Text can grab a phone number directly from a photo or paused video, allowing you to paste it wherever you need it.
Insertion is made even easier with Split View running two apps side by side on the 11-inch Liquid Retina display. The 2360 x 1640 resolution and 500 nits brightness ensure notes, browser tabs, and spreadsheets stay sharp enough to work on for hours.
Hours of work feel more natural when the Magic Keyboard Folio snaps into place with its trackpad and function bar, while the Apple Pencil (USB-C) turns the same screen into a sketchpad where Math Notes solves handwritten equations as you write them.
This flexibility also carries over to video calls: The 12-megapixel front camera is located on the long edge in landscape mode and can pan and zoom so you can focus on FaceTime, Zoom or Google Meet. It even expands when someone comes to you.
Once the call is over, Touch ID in the top button unlocks the iPad (A16) with a single press, and the dual stereo speakers give movies and playlists a decent sense of space when placed on the sofa.
Students, families and anyone ready to make the switch from a phone to a proper tablet can get the full iPad (A16) experience for £329 at Tesco, and if you’re saving £100 off the Apple price, now is the time to buy.
