Best iPad deals ahead of Black Friday
iPads can hit some of their lowest prices of the year during Black Friday, but if you’re not a fan of how hectic it can get, you can still score solid deals if you shop early.
With retailers like Best Buy and Walmart starting their sales on Nov. 8 and Nov. 11 respectively, deals on hot ticket items like tablets start to roll in early. Plus, Amazon marks down Apple’s iPads year round, so even though they haven’t officially announced their Black Friday plans yet, there are plenty of iPad deals on our list below from the mega-retailer.
As for whether you’ll score significantly better prices during Black Friday, it’s hard to say. We predict that the iPad Air will likely drop lower than a $50 discount, while the ninth-generation iPad could drop lower (but it’s an older model already priced to move). In any case, if there’s an iPad deal worth checking out, we’ll keep our list updated to reflect that.

Why we like it
We’ll be honest, the best iPad deal is going to be the one on the model that most meets your needs — maybe that feels obvious, but considering that there are four different kinds of iPads on sale at the moment, it’s worth a reminder. That said, we were surprised to see the A17 Pro iPad mini on sale, considering Apple quietly dropped it on the market just a few weeks ago. Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder reviewed the tablet and deemed it the best tablet out there for anyone who wants something compact. Compared to the last generation, it comes packed with a faster chip and compatibility with Apple Intelligence.
Speaking of the previous generation mini (which this tablet resembles almost exactly in design), Mashable Shopping Reporter Sam Mangino deemed the mini the best iPad for reading, thanks to its size, and versatility to still be a great tablet for streaming shows.
