It’s the weekend, which means that our Verge Deals team is kicking back and recharging for next week. But we have a few time-sensitive deals to pass your way in case you feel like making some additions to your repertoire of gadgets. Starting things off is the ninth-generation iPad, which is discounted to $279.99 at Best Buy, Amazon, and Target ($50 off). Target’s site says this deal will end Saturday, though we don’t currently know if that applies to the other retailers.

If you just need an affordable yet relatively powerful iPad, this 2021 model is likely the one for you. It has a 10.2-inch display, and it runs on Apple’s capable yet not cutting-edge A13 Bionic chip. There isn’t much you won’t be able to do on this iPad compared to pricier ones, though keep in mind that it has a Lightning connector — not USB-C like the others. Notably, it has a 3.5mm headphone jack. This is rumored to be Apple’s final base iPad to feature the port, but we won’t know that for sure until it’s replaced by a new model. Here’s how it compares to the previous-gen model.
