Black Friday is officially here, although deals have likely been flooding your inbox for weeks.

Apple deals, particularly on iPads, started rolling in once major retailers kicked off their official sales programming earlier this month. We’ve been seeing prices at or near record lows for days (weeks, even!), from the iPad Air at $ 100 off, the 10th generation iPad at $ 90 off, and the new iPad mini at $ 99 off (which is now sold out).

There aren’t many significant price changes now that Black Friday is actually here. Aside from a $ 20 price drop on the 10th generation iPad with boosted storage, the iPad deals largely remain the same as the pre-Black Friday shopping event. Given that these prices are some of the best of the year, that’s hardly a disappointment. These deals are good no matter which way you slice it.

We’ll be keeping an eye out for any new deals to drop as Black Friday slowly morphs into Cyber Monday over the weekend. As for now, here are all the best iPad deals currently live.

Note: All newly added or updated deals have been marked with a ✨, while struck-through deals were either sold out or expired at the time of writing.

Why we like it

We consider the iPad Air the best Apple tablet for most people: it has the flexibility to be a good school companion, as it can be a laptop replacement or art tablet. The M2 chip also powers some older Pro models, but you’ll be saving a few hundred bucks (especially with this iPad deal).

At $ 499, this iPad is just a dollar away from its record low pricing, making it an excellent time to pick it up ahead of the holidays. If you’re looking to score the most savings possible, even if that means wading into the chaos of Black Friday, you might want to hold off — the Air initially dropped to this price about a week ago, so there is a chance that it drops even more come Black Friday. At the time of writing, this deal is available at Target, Best Buy, and Amazon, with the latter two having all four colors available.
