Walmart Clears Out Remaining 9th-Gen iPad Stock at $179 Ahead of the New Model's Release
There's about to be a hot new entry-level iPad on the block this week. And for deal hunters, that means it's time to scout out deals on the devices it's about to replace. That's exactly what Walmart is offering right now with the ninth-gen iPad hitting a new record-low price of $179 there. Just note that supplies are extremely limited and that you might have to venture into a store to pick one up if shipping isn't available in your location. Amazon also briefly matched the price, though it's showing out of stock there right now. Keep an eye on that link in case it comes back.
We're about to see the 11th-gen iPad hit the market, so the model on sale is a couple of generations old now, but the ninth-gen Apple iPad is still a solid device for a lot of folks. If you're after a tablet that's great for the basics like checking your email, streaming shows and exploring social media, this is one of the best iPad deals you'll find right now.
It's equipped with the still-capable A13 Bionic chip, an 8-megapixel wide-angle rear camera, a 12-megapixel ultrawide front camera with Center Stage technology and more. The Retina display is an upgrade on previous models with True Tone technology that adjusts the screen for comfortable viewing in any light.

It also includes a Lightning connector instead of USB-C, which will be useful to those with plenty of Lightning cables around, and it gets up to 10 hours of battery life per charge. Plus, this 2021 iPad supports the first-gen Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard. They're sold separately but can help you create and work more easily, so they may be worth the investment.
With a new iPad model hitting shelves this week, now is likely the very last chance to nab this outgoing iPad model as retailers clear them out to make space. Though it's a few years old at this point, $179 is an astonishingly low price for an iPad and this model is ideal for kids or grandparents who just want an easy-to-use, familiar device (it's the last one with a home button, for example) that they can use for simple tasks like watching YouTube, browsing the web and checking email. This is lower than it's ever gone before and we doubt we'll see deals this good again for the device in brand new condition.

China Tariffs Already Mean Fewer, More Expensive Dolls for American Kids
Carly has auburn hair, blue eyes and stands 18 inches tall. Like most dolls sold in the U.S., she is made in China. That is now a problem for her maker, William Su, who sells tens of thousands of dolls and their accessories a year to Americans through Amazon, Walmart and Target. When President Trump raised tariffs on China to 145% in April, Su, who is based in New York and Taiwan, stopped production because he and his buyers couldn't afford the tariffs.

Rare deal alert: The new iPad mini is $399, its lowest price ever
The iPad Mini hits the sweet spot for me. It's about the size of my Kindle, but way better for reading magazines. It crushes my iPhone for FaceTime and watching videos and, unlike my full-size iPad, this one fits much more easily in my bag when I am flying. And right now it's down to its lowest price ever, just $399. If you've been holding out, now's the time to cave in and buy one, before the price changes yet again. Priced at $100 off (that's this tablet's lowest price ever!) this might be the iPad you've been waiting for. As a newer addition to Apple's lineup, it typically goes for full price, and we don't expect the discount to stick around for much longer. Think this is just a slightly larger version of your phone? Think again. With a 3:2 aspect ratio compared with the iPhone's 2:1, the iPad mini is much wider and, if you use your tablet to read, it can fit more text and feels more like a book or magazine in your hand. Speaking of fitting in your hand, it's less cumbersome than a full-size iPad, making it great for travel or slipping into a backpack for your commute. As far as features go, this little tablet is packed. It's powered by the A17 Bionic chip, so you should experience zero lag (which I definitely cannot say for my Kindle). It also has a 12-megapixel camera on both the front and back, plus, with its smaller size, you won't look ridiculous holding it up to snap a photo. The optional (but highly recommended) Apple Pencil Pro can turn this tablet into an art studio, whether your medium is photography or digital art. This is also the first iPad mini with Apple Intelligence. What is Apple Intelligence, you ask? It's Apple's way of making your device even more helpful and personalized. It learns from your habits and preferences to suggest things like reminders for meetings, photos from specific events or predictive text while you type, making things run smoother and faster. Since this is the newest iPad Mini, it has only a handful of ratings on Amazon so far, but most of them, 86% in fact, are five-star raves. "I love the iPad mini, especially for use when I travel, and when I need to take it to family gatherings. It's a lot easier to manage than my larger iPad," said this on-the-go fan. "I was concerned at first about the smaller screen, but since you can enlarge the type in the accessibility function on the iPad mini, I have had no problems using it. For portability, you can't [beat] the smaller iPad." "Having used various larger iPads, I find this model strikes an ideal balance between being more expansive than a phone, yet more compact than a laptop," wrote a second reviewer. "Its size is perfect for on-the-go productivity and entertainment." "I had the previous iPad mini and sold it to upgrade to this one," noted a repeat buyer. "It is the exact same excellent build quality and gorgeous display, but with twice the storage of my last one (128GB) and a much better processor. ... Apple Intelligence might sound like a gimmick, but I have been using the beta of iPadOS 18.2 and I am blown away by the image playground app. I am an author, and it has enabled me the power to visualize my characters just by describing them in the playground app. That alone is worth the price of admission for me to Apple Intelligence." "It truly brings the Apple experience in a smaller package," said this fan. But they also offered this note of caution: "If you're upgrading from the mini 6, be aware: The improvements are minor, mostly focused on chip performance, and require a new Apple Pencil Pro." Echoed this shopper: "If you upgrade, know that the Apple Pencil 2 that you bought to use with your 6 will not work with the 7. You will have to buy a new Apple Pencil Pro." Speaking of the Apple Pencil Pro, it's on sale too: If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.) The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.

Amazon.com (NasdaqGS:AMZN) Expands AWS Presence With US$5 Billion Data Center Investment In Taiwan

Buy, Hold or Sell View our complete analysis and fair value estimate and you decide. The end of cancer? These 23 emerging AI stocks are developing tech that will allow early identification of life changing diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's. The recent developments regarding Amazon's investments in the AWS Asia Pacific (Taipei) Region and North Carolina can significantly influence the company's operational strategy, furthering its drive towards AI and cloud computing capabilities. These initiatives are expected to enhance revenue streams, aligning with the company's narrative of optimizing efficiency through advanced technologies. Over the three-year timeframe, Amazon's total shareholder return, inclusive of share price and dividends, achieved a 94.77% increase. Within the past year, Amazon's share price rise of 13% outpaced the broader market's 12.6% gain, reflecting robust performance despite prevailing industry challenges. In light of Amazon's stated commitments, analysts have projected revenue growth of 8.9% per annum, bolstered by both traditional and AI-driven cloud services. Earnings prospects are anticipated to rise to US$103.6 billion by 2028, up from US$65.94 billion today.
