Black Friday is here and it’s a fantastic time to pick up a deal on an iPad. While technically a single day (it’s the day after Thanksgiving in the U.S. or November 24) Black Friday has gradually expanded to encompass Cyber Monday (November 27), as well as the weeks leading up to the big weekend.

This means you need to keep your eyes peeled all week long for killer iPad savings. Or, better still, let us keep our eyes peeled for you. This article is where we round up the best-value deals on the various iPad models available in both the U.S. and the U.K., as well as provide automated price comparison tables that will pull in the lowest prices across all the major retailers.

Latest 10th-gen iPad deals

Apple’s 10th-gen iPad (MSRP $449/£499) launched in October 2022, so Black Friday 2023 could bring the biggest discounts to date. We already saw it drop as low as $349 at Target so we’re hopeful for big sales.

Latest 9th-gen iPad deals

The 9th-gen iPad (MSRP $329/£369) from 2021 is still an excellent tablet for kids and people on a budget. It’s regularly on sale for $249 but it could go even lower over Black Friday.

Latest iPad mini deals

The 6th-gen iPad mini (MSRP $499/£569) came out in 2021, but we don’t expect much to change when it’s updated next year. Amazon often sells it for $100 off, so if it goes much lower you shouldn’t hesitate.

Latest iPad Air (2022) deals

In the respects that count—from design to performance, from 5G to accessory support—the latest iPad Air (MSRP $599/£669) is a Pro in all but name. You can often find it on sale for $50 to $100 off so refrain from paying much more than that—and quickly grab one if it goes any lower than $499.

Latest 11-inch iPad Pro deals

Apple’s latest set of iPad Pro models were updated in 2022, but they’re insanely powerful. Major discounts on the 11-inch model (MSRP $799/£899) are fairly uncommon, so if you see savings of $100 or more it probably won’t last long.

Latest 12.9-inch iPad Pro deals

The 12.9-inch version of the Pro (MSRP $1,099/£1,249) is Apple’s top-of-the-line tablet. It’s not cheap but it’s worth the price if you can get it on sale for over $100 off.

FAQs

Is it worth waiting for Black Friday to buy an iPad? ›

Is Black Friday a good time to buy an iPad? While we may have had our off years, Black Friday is generally an excellent time to buy an iPad. Traditionally, we have new releases making their way to the shelves in this time, driving the prices of older models particularly low.

Do iPads get reduced on Black Friday? ›

Some of the biggest Black Friday Apple deals and Cyber Monday sales tend to be had with the iPad Pro models. With the excellent iPad Pro 12.9-inch starting at $1,099 / £1,249, we can expect to see deals that cut anything from $200 / £200 to $400 / £400 off the original ticket price.

What time of the year is the cheapest to buy an iPad? ›

While the best iPad deals usually land during major sale events like Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day, many of the best iPad deals from the holiday season have persisted into 2024.

Are Apple products cheaper on Black Friday or Cyber Monday? ›

Apple products historically see price drops at big-box retailers like Walmart and Amazon. Apple's gift card shopping event will run now through November 27 (Cyber Monday) but we've seen fluctuating prices from Amazon and Walmart, with the best deals typically dropping between Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Are tablets cheaper on Black Friday or Cyber Monday? ›

If you're worried about Cyber Monday, the truth is that while offers tend to be mirrored, there's no absolute guarantee that you'll find the same item on sale for the same price or at all. That means you're better off picking up Black Friday tablet deals when you see them rather than waiting.

How long does the average iPad last? ›

While the answer truly depends on the particular model and its intended use, you can reasonably expect an iPad to last 4-7 years. Generally speaking, the iPad is a very dependable mobile computer, and the only notable wear item is the battery.

What is a good cheaper iPad? ›

iPad 10.2 (2021)

From testing all the iPads on this list, we found that the 10.2 provides the best value-for-money proposition. Sure, it's not as good for sketching or audio as the iPad Air, and it can't tackle the same high-performance tasks as the Pro, but it's also a lot cheaper than both of those devices.

Is a 64GB iPad enough? ›

The answer depends greatly on how you plan to use your iPad. For light users who simply browse the web, read books, stream music and occasional video, and have just a handful of apps, 64GB should suffice. But intense media creators, gamers, and professionals may need more room for all their files.

Does Apple offer any discounts on Black Friday? ›

Apple does offer Black Friday deals, but historically the promotions have offered shoppers free Apple gift cards with select purchases instead of reduced Apple prices.

Does Best Buy do Black Friday on Apple products? ›

Apple products.

With a wide selection of items, you can find Black Friday deals on iPads, laptops and cellphones. Or shop for exciting wearable tech by checking out Black Friday deals for Apple watches and fitness trackers.

Do Apple products ever go on sale? ›

If you are wondering if Apple has sales, prepare to be disappointed. Apple rarely discounts its own products–even during its annual Black Friday shopping event, it traditionally elects to give out gift vouchers rather than reducing prices.

Should I wait for Black Friday to buy a new iPhone? ›

If you want the newest iPhones then the best deals don't tend to come before the spring and summer months. If you are happy to buy an older iPhone then you will probably see decent deals around Prime Day and Black Friday – but deals happen all year round.

Do electronics get cheaper on Black Friday? ›

Black Friday is traditionally known for its in-store deals and doorbusters, often offering significant discounts on big-ticket items like electronics, appliances, and other high-end products. Retailers may also offer exclusive in-store promotions.

Are iPad sales down? ›

Charlie Sorrel has been writing about technology, and its effects on society and the planet, for 13 years. iPad sales have dropped like a stone since last year. No new models were released in 2023.

Is Black Friday the best time to buy a laptop? ›

Laptops get extra cheap around Black Friday (to the tune of 20 to 50 percent off) because it syncs up with when retailers and manufacturers are trying to offload their inventories ahead of next-gen refreshes at CES.
