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 the ninth-generation Apple iPad from Amazon for $199 — that’s 40% off — but only for a limited time. Or upgrade to the Wi-Fi + cellular model for $329.

A teacher and student killed in a shooting earlier this week at a school in Madison, Wisconsin, were identified Wednesday by authorities.
The Dane County Medical Examiner’s Office said in a news release provided to CBS News that 42-year-old Erin West and 14-year-old Rubi Vergara were fatally shot Monday morning at Abundant Life Christian School.
Preliminary examinations determined the two died of “homicidal firearm related trauma.” Both were pronounced dead at the scene, the medical examiner said.
An online obituary on a local funeral site stated Vergara was a freshman who leaves behind her parents, one brother, and a large extended family. It described her as “an avid reader” who “loved art, singing and playing keyboard in the family worship band.”
West’s exact position with the school was unclear.
The medical examiner also confirmed that a preliminary autopsy found that the suspected shooter, 15-year-old Natalie Rupnow — a student at the same school — was pronounced dead at a local hospital Monday of “firearm related trauma.” Madison Chief of Police Shon F. Barnes had previously told reporters that Rupnow was pronounced dead while being transported to a hospital.
Police had also previously stated that she was believed to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The shooting at the private Christian K-12 school was reported just before 11 a.m. Monday. In addition to the two people killed and the shooter, six others were wounded.
Police said the shooting occurred in a classroom where a study hall was taking place involving students from several grades.
A handgun was recovered after the shooting, Barnes said, but it was unclear where the gun came from or how many shots were fired. A law enforcement source said the weapon used in the shooting appears to have been a 9 mm pistol.
