We're less than two weeks out from Black Friday deals. However, I'm already seeing some incredible Black Friday iPad deals that I don't recommend waiting on. If you're looking to score one of the best tablets at a discount, now is a great opportunity, especially if you want to beat the Black Friday rush.
The best iPad deal right now is definitely the 11-inch iPad Air M2 (Wi-Fi/128GB) for $499 at Amazon. This is our favorite tablet currently on the market, and it has hit its lowest price ever after a $100 discount.
Meanwhile, if you're looking for a cheaper iPad deal, you can currently score the 10.2-inch iPad (Wi-Fi/64GB) for $199 at Best Buy. It's an older model, but this $130 discount brings it to its lowest price ever and makes it a seriously tempting purchase.

Lowest price! The 10.2-inch iPad features Apple's A13 Bionic CPU, a 12MP front camera, and 64GB of storage (instead of 32GB like its predecessor). You also get support for Center Stage, which uses machine learning to adjust the front-facing camera during FaceTime video calls. In our iPad 10.2-inch review, we called it a solid tablet with a great screen, smooth performance, and good battery life for a reasonable price. It's an all-time price low right now.
The 10th Gen iPad features a large 10.9-inch (2360 x 1640) screen, A14 Bionic CPU, 12MP rear/front cameras, USB-C connectivity, and Magic Keyboard Folio ($249) support. In our iPad 10th Gen review, we said it delivers almost everything you could want in a modern tablet. Note: this sold for $299 in October.
Lowest price! The 6th generation iPad mini sports an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display, an A15 Bionic CPU, a 12MP wide camera, TouchID support and USB-C connectivity. It also supports the Apple Pencil 2 and offers the same thin bezels and elegant design as the iPad Air and iPad Pro. In our iPad mini 6 review, we called it a perfect fit for anyone looking for a one-handed tablet experience for reading books or watching movies. However, note that the newer iPad mini 7 is now available.
Lowest price! The new iPad mini is here. In our iPad mini 7 review, we praised its incredibly portable design and long battery life (it lasted 10 hours in our battery life tests). It comes with speedy performance thanks to Apple's A17 Pro chip and has a gorgeous 8.3-inch (2,266 x 1,488) Liquid Retina display. You also get 12MP cameras on the front and back and Wi-Fi 6e support.
Lowest price! The 2024 iPad Air packs Apple's M2 processor, an 11-inch LED (2360 x 1640) display, 128GB of storage, 12MP rear camera, and a new landscape-oriented 12MP front camera. You also get faster WiFi 6E support. In our iPad Air 2024 review, we said it brings impressive performance and power efficiency to a premium, sleek package.
The 2024 iPad Air comes in two sizes. This larger size sports the same M2 processor, but it's coupled with a 13-inch LED (2732 x 2048) display. You also get 128GB of storage, 12MP rear camera, WiFi 6E support, and a new landscape-oriented 12MP front camera. In our iPad Air 2024 review, we said it brings impressive performance and power efficiency to a premium, sleek package.
The 11-inch iPad Pro packs Apple's latest M4 processor paired with a stunning 11-inch Tandem OLED (2420 x 1668) display. The new M4 processor features 9 CPU cores and 10 GPU cores. In our iPad Pro 2024 review we said it could very well be the most stunning tablet ever made. Note: this sold for $899 in October.

Lowest price! This attractive iPad measures 9.79 x 7.07 x 0.28 inches, with this Wi-Fi model weighing in at just 1.05 pounds. Its 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display has a resolution of 2360 x 1640 pixels, which is impressively sharp. It also features a 12MP rear camera and a 12MP front camera with 122-degree FOV.
Lowest price! The iPad mini 7 (2024) is a great update, offering excellent performance and battery life while retaining its predecessor's vibrant display and portable design. Though it keeps the portrait-oriented front camera and is incompatible with Apple Pencil 2, this tablet’s strengths outweigh its flaws. The iPad mini 7 delivers the full iPad experience, only on a smaller device.
Lowest price! Right now, you can get a discount on the M2 iPad Air. Featuring an LED display and powered by an M2 chip (making it 50% faster than its predecessor), this is one of the best tablets for most people. It offers a 12MP front and rear camera (and 4K video), and comes in four fun finishes.
Lowest price! The latest iPad Pro is one of the thinnest and most powerful iPads Apple has ever made, thanks to an all-new M4 chip. This new iPad Pro is just 0.22 inches thick and weighs a little over a pound. It also boasts an Ultra Retina XDR display with tandem OLED technology and a 12MP camera.

The iPad Air M2 is our favorite tablet, but you can never have too much of a good thing. This iPad comes in two different sizes, so you can maximise your workable screen space if you have a bit more to spend. Right now the 13-inch iPad Air M2 (Wi-Fi/128GB) is on sale for $699 at Amazon. It's one of the iPad deals that I'm the most excited about for Black Friday.

While I've listed an iPad Pro M4 deal above, I recommend waiting until closer to Black Friday to buy this tablet. The 11-inch iPad Pro with Apple's new M4 chip is currently on sale for $924 at Walmart. However, it sold for $899 last month. If possible, hold out on buying this one and see if it gets a better discount in the coming weeks.

The iPad mini is the latest iPad to receive an upgrade — which means the previous generation also falls to its lowest-ever price!

If you fancy an iPad, and don't want to have to pay a lot of money for it, then the iPad 10th generation might be for you.

Plus Amazon has knocked the price of the iPad 10th generation to $319 — which is $30 off the usual price.
