I bought my wife's 2019, 7th gen, 10.2 inch screen iPad, the WiFi ONLY, 128 GBs storage model for $319, ( $336 w/sales tax ) from Amazon, back in early January 2020.

This was $110 off Apple's OEM price ( before sales tax ) for this model!

This was a brand new unit in an actual Apple sealed box

Was able to purchase AppleCare+ through Apple for this iPad with no issues.

Still working well for her.

Thank you, that is very helpful, I just purchased the same but with 32GB . I feel a lot more confident that I am not buying an inferior model! I don’t understand why it is so difficult to get a model number from Apple! The one I bought is MW742LL/A.

Are you sure they are the same unit? Same size GB and some connectivity?

I believe places like Amazon can reduce their products if they want, but Apple never does reductions or sales
