Apple
As part of Amazon’s pre-Labor Day sale, here’s a chance to own a brand-new, Wi-Fi-only Apple iPad (9th Generation) tablet with 64GB of internal storage for just $199. This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen for this popular entry-level tablet. Based on more than 66,800 customer reviews on Amazon, the iPad (9th Generation) has earned 4.8 stars out of five, so you know people love it.
The ninth-generation iPad is not the most current version — it features the slightly older Apple A13 Bionic processor. But the tablet does run the same version of iPadOS and comes with the same collection of apps as the current iPad models. This tablet is equipped with a 10.2 inch (2,160 x 1,620 pixel resolution) Retina touchscreen display, along with a 12MP front camera and 8MP rear camera. The battery lasts for about 10 hours per charge. Choose between a space gray or silver casing color.
This iPad is the perfect starter tablet for kids and teens heading back to school, or anyone who wants to enjoy the capabilities of an iPad without paying top-dollar for an Apple iPad Pro or iPad Air.
You can purchase this iPad (9th Generation) from Amazon $199 — that’s 40% off — but only for a limited time. The more souped up version, with Wi-Fi + Cellular capabilities and 256GB of internal storage is also on sale for 5% off, which brings its price down to $579. To expand the capabilities of the iPad (9th Generation) tablet, you can pair it with the optional Apple Pencil stylus ($69), Apple Smart Keyboard ($134) and the $89 Apple AirPods (2nd Gen) wireless earbuds.

The trailblazing women to be featured on the tail side of coins include Ida B. Wells, Juliette Gordon Low, Dr. Vera Rubin, Stacey Park Milbern and Althea Gibson, the U.S. Mint, part of the U.S. Treasury, said Wednesday.
“I am honored to announce the 2025 designs for the fourth and final year of the historic American Women’s Quarters Program,” U.S. Mint Director Ventris C. Gibson said in a statement. “This program has recognized the remarkable legacies of these extraordinary she-roes. These beautiful American Women quarters will be in circulation for decades to come and continue to educate the American people on our incredible honorees.”
2025 will mark the fourth and final year of the program, which will have issued 20 new quarters featuring the images of trailblazing figures from diverse ethnic, racial and geographic backgrounds. The head side of the coins feature Founding Father George Washington.
Who are the women on the 2025 coins?
- Ida B. Wells was a prominent African-American investigative journalist, suffragist and civil rights activist. She died in 1931.
- Juliette Gordon Low, founder of Girl Scouts of the United States of America, created the organization to help girls unlock their full potential and build confidence.
- Dr. Vera Rubin, the astronomer who pioneered work on galaxy rotation rates.
- Stacey Park Milbern, an activist for people with disabilities.
- Althea Gibson, a professional tennis player and golfer who was the first Black player to win the French Open, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open.
What was the selection process?
The Treasury partnered with the Smithsonian Institution’s American Women’s History Initiative, the National Women’s History Museum and the Congressional Bipartisan Women’s Caucus to select its honorees. It also solicited the public’s input into whom it should feature on the coins.
Coins featuring previous years’ honorees are for sale on the U.S. Mint’s website, while the new coins will begin circulating in 2025.
