The best early Black Friday iPad deals
I get the feeling we’ve been seeing early Black Friday iPad deals on the shelves for a few weeks now. After all, the ninth and tenth generation devices actually hit record-low prices just after Amazon’s October Prime event and have pretty much stayed there ever since.
Those numbers have hopped around a little, but things look pretty set in stone at the moment. I’ve been covering Black Friday iPad deals for five years now, and I’m telling my friends to go early on this one. Apple’s luxury tablets don’t have the best attendance rate over holiday sales – there have been some years with barely any discounts at all. I would also be incredibly surprised if some of these prices shifted further south over the next few weeks, though competition is going to heat up as we get closer to the big day.
So what’s going to happen between now and November 29? It’s difficult to say exactly, but if previous years are anything to go by, the demand for discounts will start growing incredibly quickly from this weekend onwards. That means we could see some iPad deals that were previously steady on the shelves starting to run out of stock, or bump their prices up ahead of the big day. I’m not anticipating too many major additional discounts on the models featured below, but I have seen similar offers run their course before Black Friday has even kicked off in the past.

A longtime Apple fan-girl, I started tracking Black Friday iPad deals as a dedicated Deals Editor on our sister site TechRadar over five years ago, and have been doing the same here at GamesRadar since 2021. That means I’ve been on the frontlines of Apple’s biggest holiday offers for years now, and I know a thing or two about finding the highest value deals at the best retailers. I track these prices year-round to make sure I’m highlighting only the biggest ‘real’ offers during these November sales, while reviewing down all the best tablets for gaming on the market. This year I’m looking to upgrade my iPad Air and potentially pick up some extra subscriptions in the sale.
