As we approach the Cyber Monday deals, there are still some awesome discounts to be had on iPads, with many deals from Black Friday still available.
I've been scouring retailers in the run up to, and throughout the sales events to find the best bargains on Apple tech, and there still some incredibly good deals today, with over $100 off some iPad models.
Stock levels can fluctuate, and while retailers will be restocking for Cyber Monday, there's no guarantee these tablets will stick around — we'll be evaluating the deals so you know which are the ones you can take the plunge on immediately, and which to keep an eye on.
There are also some great deals on accessories, cases and more. One of the best accessory deals I'm currently seeing is a 1st-generation Apple Pencil is currently $40 off at Amazon.
So, I'll be by your side as the best Black Friday iPad deals become the best Cyber Monday iPad deals. I'll be joined by different members of the Tom's Guide team who can lend their insight since we've tested and reviewed every iPad model and will continue to review the new ones as they come out.
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 that some colors of this iPad are beginning to sell out at Amazon.
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. The 64GB version is back on sale at Target after selling out earlier.
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.
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.
LOWEST PRICE! 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. The iPad Pro is listed at $899, but there's a clickable coupon to take another $50 off the price at checkout.
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.
If you're using an iPad Pro for work, chances are you could do with some extra storage space. The latest 13-inch iPad Pro M4 512GB model is currently $100 off at Amazon.
LOWEST PRICE! The 1TB model of the latest 11-inch iPad Pro M4 is also on sale. Its 8% off at $1,649 for non Prime members, which is already the lowest we've seen this 1TB model go. However, if you're a Prime member there's a $50 coupon, taking the total discount to $200!
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.

If you're looking for the perfect accessory to go with your new iPad, look no further than the iPad Magic Keyboard. In our iPad Magic Keyboard review, we loved the responsive trackpad and how easy it was to type on. With the keyboard, you can practically transform your iPad into a laptop. This keyboard is compatible with iPad Pro 11-inch (1st-4th gen) generation), iPad Air (4th and 5th gen), iPad Air (5th generation), and iPad Air 11-inch (M2).
If you want a stylus that covers the basics, then the 1st-generation Apple Pencil is a great choice for iPad owners. With pixel-perfect precision, it is a great no-frills approach to writing and drawing on your tablet. Just make sure that it's compatible by checking Apple's compatibility list before you buy (this version includes the USB-C to Apple Pencil Adapter).
You don't need an iPhone to track your stuff with Apple's precise item trackers. An iPad also allows you to use AirTags to leverage the Find My network and ultra-wideband technology for incredibly accurate location tracking. Each coin-sized tracker offers a replaceable battery lasting over a year and water resistance. Right now you can score one for $5 off.
The Logitech Casa Pop-Up Desk looks like a book at first glance, but when you open it up you get an entire work-from-home setup. The book opens up into a laptop or tablet stand and houses a tenkeyless Bluetooth keyboard and Bluetooth trackpad. There's even a space to store the charging cords. It's compatible with iPad OS and is the ultimate work-from-home accessory. Price Check: was $179 now $149 @ Amazon.
The Logitech Keys-to-Go 2 is an ultra compact keyboard designed for ultra portability, allowing you to type easily on your iPad wherever you are. We gave this keyboard 4 stars in our Logitech Keys-to-Go 2 review, so if you've been looking for a super compact travel keyboard, this is a great shout.
iPads are perfect for watching shows and movies on the best streaming services. Right now, Best Buy is offering 3 months of Apple TV+ for free to new or qualified returning subscribers. There's no additional purchase required. Just add it to your cart and checkout, and you'll then be sent a link to get the service activated. You will need a credit card to buy this free trial, even though it's free.
Upgrade to the 256GB version of the iPad Air, and Best Buy lets you have it for $599. That's the regular price of the 128GB model before any price discount, and it's also $100 off what you'd normally have to pay for all that storage. Not a bad way to make sure you have some extra capacity on hand.
Apple Pencil is one of the best features of the iPad. It allows for a much more natural method of interaction with the tablet than just swiping with your finger.
It is currently $40 off from Amazon, bringing it down to the normal price of the previous generation pencil. This is a great time to get the accessory if you have a recent iPad and didn't buy one when you got the tablet.
Apple's 13-inch iPad Pro isn't just a brilliant tablet, it is also a viable laptop alternative once you include the case and a mouse. The screen is stunning and in landscape mode, you quickly forget you are not working on a traditional laptop.
The latest M4 Apple iPad Pro takes things to an entirely new level, able to run not just Apple Intelligence but models from other companies, as well as powerful games and graphically intensive apps. With $200 off for Black Friday, it makes this even more of a serious contender for a laptop alternative.
If you are like me and are somewhat heavy-handed with your iPad, dropping it or leaving it in places that might not be conducive to a relatively fragile piece of technology — then its worth investing in a good rugged case. Otterbox is one of the better choices.
The Otterbox Defender series is listed in our guide to best iPad cases as the best-rugged case. There is a good reason for this. It's a solid case made of synthetic rubber and polycarbonate in multi-layer protection. It also features an antimicrobial layer for sanitation and right now it is more than 50% off on Amazon.
There is something about the iPad mini that gives off 'sci-fi' vibes, even more so than the larger tablets or than an iPhone. It is portable but with a large enough 8.3" screen to be useful across a range of use cases.
For a small device it packs a performance punch. Bringing many of the best capabilities of its larger siblings to a smaller form factor. The Wifi and 5G LTE model is currently $50 off at B&H, so, now you can take it anywhere for less than the usual price.
Apple's Magic Keyboard case for the iPad is so good you'll forget you are not using a laptop, especially with the inclusion of the trackpad. I got one when I purchased an iPad earlier this year and it is so easy to get set up and use, but it does come with a hefty price tag.
Black Friday brings with it a 25% discount on the Magic Keyboard, bringing it down to $224 for the black version compatible with any 11-inch iPad Pro or Air.
Apple's iPad Pro 11-inch M4 is the ultimate in portable computing. It is a powerful tablet built for Apple Intelligence and right now the 5G cellular version with 1TB storage is $1599 on Amazon if you apply the $50 coupon.
In his review of the M4 Tony Polanco described it as the tablet he's been waiting for, highlighting the powerful performance, solid design and "unbelievably long battery life". It does come with a hefty price tag, especially the cellular version but it is now $200 off.
Apple's Smart Folio is an iconic and solid default case for the iPad for most people. It is the best all-rounder in the Tom's Guide best iPad case guide and comes in a range of covers.
The iPad automatically wakes when you open it and sleeps when you close it and it is as stylish as the iPad itself. The Sky Blue version for the 10th generation iPad is currently $14 off the usual price on Amazon, a great time for a new look if you already have one.
If you're aiming to pick up an iPad Air M2 or iPad Pro M4 this Black Friday, or already own one, you may be interested to know that Apple's best stylus, the Apple Pencil Pro, is discounted to $99 at Best Buy.
This magnetically attaches to the latest iPad Air or iPad Pro for storage and charging, offers a squeeze gesture with haptic feedback to let you switch between tools, and the option to change the rotation of your tool easily with the Barrel Roll feature.
Apple introduced its first larger iPad Air this year, giving users a handy intermediate point between the more compact iPad Airs of the past and the more expensive iPad Pro models. And you can get that new 13-inch iPad Air M2 for $100 less at Amazon right now.
The 13-inch iPad Air gives you a nice large canvas to work from or view video or play games on, all powered by the potent Apple M2 chip. It supports Apple Intelligence and the Apple Pencil Pro stylus, meaning you miss out on very little compared to the iPad Pro.
I write about AI for a living, I also like to experiment with AI apps and tools in my free time and the 11" iPad Air with the powerful M2 chip is a great device if you want to get into artificial intelligence. It can run models locally and has Apple Intelligence built in.
You can currently get the stunning blue version of the Air M2, with 128 GB of storage for $70 at B&H as part of the Black Friday deal.
Apple's AirPods work brilliantly with the iPad. They seamlessly connect and can switch between an iPhone and the tablet without friction. If you're using them with the iPad there is less need for Active Noise Cancellation, so why not opt for the cheaper, but still impressive AirPods 4 with no ANC?
They're even more affordable in the Black Friday sales — thanks to a $10 saving, they're now just $119 at Amazon.
Apple's 13-inch iPad Pro M4 is one of the thinnest and most powerful iPad Apple has ever made. At just 0.22 inches thick it is the ultimate portable power machine. It also comes with a stunning Ultra Retina XDR display and a 12MP camera.
Apple's 13-inch iPad Air M2 might not be the most recent model in the tablet family but it is one of the best. It is a Tom's Guide Editor's Choice pick and was ranked best overall iPad of the year by our team, beating out the brilliant M4.
Normally priced at $899 for the base model in space gray, it is currently $50 off at B&H, down to $849. You can get it for even less on Amazon when its in stock, but that doesn't happen often.
AirPods Pro 2 are the best AirPods Apple has made to date. They are currently more than $100 off the original price, making them even cheaper than the AirPods 4 without all the pro features including Active Noise Cancellation (ANC).
These AirPods work great with the beautiful screen found on an iPad and make for a brilliant home entertainment setup. ANC can be used to block out the outside world. This deal makes them the cheapest they've ever been for a great Black Friday deal.
Adding Apple's Magic Keyboard case to the iPad turns it into something close to a laptop, in fact, for many use cases, it is better than a MacBook. You get a trackpad and with the addition of a mouse, it becomes a brilliant productivity device.
Black Friday brings with it a 25% discount on the Magic Keyboard, bringing it down to $224 for the black version compatible with any 11-inch iPad Pro or Air.
Otterbox is one of the better choices for people in need of a more rugged case, especially if like me you tend to be less than careful with your technology.
The Otterbox Defender series is listed in our guide to best iPad cases as the best-rugged case. There is a good reason for this. It's a solid case made of synthetic rubber and polycarbonate in multi-layer protection. It also features an antimicrobial layer for sanitation and right now it is more than 50% off on Amazon.
This deal comes and goes because it's honestly one of the best Black Friday iPad deals you'll find. Sure, the 9th Gen iPad is a few years at this old, but it's still worth picking up considering how it can still run iPad OS 18, the latest version of the platform.
Target's your destination for the cheapest deal on a brand new iPad, which will cost you $199 for a Wi-Fi version with 64GB of data. It makes for a great tablet for your kids, or perhaps a gift for someone this holiday season. Either way, you better get this deal before it's gone.
Chances are you already have a case that you like on your iPad, especially a folio type that has a kickstand of some kind to prop up the iPad. However, I think the Logitech Keys-to-Go 2 keyboard is a great companion to any iPad thanks to its tactile response and ultra slim design.
Amazon currently has a 19% off discount that brings the cost down to $64. Not only does it offer a better typing experience, but I love how I don't have to worry about recharging the keyboard like some other models because its battery is rated for up to 3 years of use.
Target had one of the best iPad deals we've seen so far, with the 64GB version of the 9th-generation iPad selling for just $199. That deal is now sold out, but you can still score $130 off on the 256GB version. It's more expensive, to be sure, but given the massive storage upgrade, it's money well spent.
The Logitech Casa Pop-Up Desk looks like a book at first glance, but when you open it up you get an entire work-from-home setup. The book opens up into a laptop or tablet stand and houses a tenkeyless Bluetooth keyboard and Bluetooth trackpad. There's even a space to store the charging cords. I am using it right now to work on my laptop from my parents' house on Black Friday, but it's compatible with iPad OS as well and is the ultimate work-from-home accessory.
ACT FAST! The iPad mini is a great option for those who don't want a massive tablet. It's highly portable but with an 8.3" screen it still makes sense as an upgrade over an iPhone.
Plus, this small device packs a performance punch. You get an A17 Pro processor, Apple Intelligence, 128GB storage, Wi-Fi 6E support, a 12MP front camera and a 12MP back camera, touch ID and "All-Day Battery Life" (claimed). But hurry, this hot item is selling fast on Amazon, with only the Blue color still available.
If you're like me, you use your iPad to watch a ton of shows and movies on the best streaming services. And Apple TV Plus has one of the best streaming deals we've seen so far.
Right now, Best Buy is offering 3 months of Apple TV+ for free to new or qualified returning subscribers. You don't even need to make an additional purchase to get it. Just add it to your cart and checkout, and you'll then be sent a link to get the service activated. You will need a credit card to buy this free trial, even though it's free.
If you're looking for the perfect iPad accessory, the AirPods Pro 2 is a great choice. And right now at Amazon their at the lowest price we've ever seen. Our AirPods Pro 2 review found these wireless earbuds to have excellent sound quality, great noise-canceling performance and immersive Spatial audio. Get them now to upgrade your iPad experience.
Black Friday is a great time to consider some previous-gen devices, where we tend to see bigger discounts compared to items that released recently. For example, you can get the iPad mini 6 on sale for $389 at Walmart, which is $80 cheaper than the best sale price on the iPad mini 7. The sale price applies to the Space Grey and Purple color options — the rest have already sold out, so I recommend snagging this deal before it's gone.
It's no secret that Apple devices work better when you own more devices in the ecosystem. For example, if you have an Apple Watch and an iPad, you can easily enjoy Apple Fitness Plus classes wherever you are. You even get three months of Apple Fitness Plus free whenever you get a new Apple Watch (after that, it's $10/month or $80/annually.)
We're all impressed to see that the Apple Watch Series 10 is down to $329 at Amazon considering it just launched two months ago. Whether you're also picking up a new iPad, or already have one, this Apple Watch deal is a great complement.

If you're looking for just one must-have iPad accessory, this is the one for you. The Apple Magic Keyboard case for the iPad is perfect for those looking to replace their laptop with an iPad. Multiple people on our staff love it and have it got one. praising it from its ease of use to its smooth trackpad
The only real downside is that it does come with a hefty price tag. But this Black Friday, you can get a 25% discount on the Magic Keyboard from Amazon, bringing it down to just $224. Just keep in mind this is only for the black version compatible the 11-inch iPad Pro or iPad Air.
Most people associate the AirTag with the iPhone, but you can also pair an Apple AirTag with your iPad. That's huge since Apple's precise item trackers are frankly better than the competition. They use a combination of the Find My network and ultra-wideband technology for incredibly accurate location tracking, making it an incredible tool for finding your lost stuff.
Each coin-sized tracker offers a replaceable battery lasting over a year and water resistance. Right now you can score one for $5 off.
It's back, baby. After going out of stock earlier, the 9th generation iPad has returned to Target, with the 64GB version dropping $130 to $199. It's true that this is an older model iPad, but any time you can get one of Apple's tablets for less than $200, it's something to celebrate.
The fact that this iPad runs on an A13 Bionic means you aren't going to get access to any Apple Intelligence features but the bright, vibrant screen and solid battery life still impress — especially at this price.
By now you might be thinking, "Hey where are Apple's deals on the iPad? Doesn't Apple have a Black Friday sale going on?"
Apple does — though probably not in the way you're thinking. Instead of cutting prices on products, Apple looks to reward its customers with gift cards that can be used on future Apple purchases. If you do a lot of shopping at Apple — whether for devices, accessories or services — those gift cards can come in handy.
Here's the portion of the Apple Store Shopping Event that's relevant to you, the person seeking out Black Friday iPad deals. If you buy a qualifying iPad, you can get a $100 Apple gift card. Eligible models include:
iPad Pro (both the 11- and 13-inch models)
iPad Air
10th generation iPad
Again, you can find price cuts on all those models at other retailers. But Apple gift cards will let you save on future purchases, so it all evens out in the end.

To get the most from your iPad Pro or iPad Air, you'll want the new Apple Pencil Pro. This updated stylus has features like squeeze and barrel roll which make it more intuitive to use. In this Black Friday deal, you can get it for $30 off.
Apple Pencils make great stocking stuffers, and there's still time to grab one at a nearly 40% savings over at Amazon!
This is the default Apple Pencil these days, which means it works with most iPads (but check the product page to be sure it works with yours!) and gives you a comfortable, reliable stylus you can use for doodling, sketching, taking notes and more!
We're just hours away from the end of Black Friday here in the Pacific, and I can't believe Amazon still has the latest iPad Pro for $200 off in stock. This is the latest and greatest iPad you can buy, making it a princely gift for yourself or someone you love this holiday season. And with the power of Apple's new M4 chip and the beauty of the Tandem OLED display, you can count on great performance and gorgeous visuals.
We're going to wind down this blog for a few hours to get some rest, but don't worry: great Black Friday deals on iPads will be available for days to come. Before I go, let's close out with a killer deal on one of the most capable tablets you can buy: Apple' s iPad Pro M4.
Amazon is still running a $200 discount on the 5G cellular version with 1TB storage (if you apply the extra Amazon $50 coupon). This is the most powerful iPad you can buy, the Tandem OLED display looks amazing, and with a cell plan you can use it on the go with ease.
iPad mini models have been going in and out of stock, especially at the end of Black Friday. As of this writing, the 128GB model of the latest mini is still out of stock at Amazon. But you can still find the tablet at a slight discount right no.
We think the iPad mini 7 is the best one yet — it's got a vivid display and fast performance of its A17 Pro chipset. That silicon also makes it possible to run Apple Intelligence features.
The Smart Folio protects your iPad's screen when not in use, and automatically locks it when you close it. Opened, the folio can act as a stand to help you watch, browse or draw on the iPad at a comfortable angle.
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. The 64GB version is back on sale at Target after selling out earlier.

The iPad Pro 2024 has it all: a fantastic OLED display, powerful M4 performance, a thin yet solid design and unbelievably long battery life. Though some of its peripherals and upgrades are pricey, Apple has delivered its best premium tablet in years.
The iPad Air M2 (11-inch) is currently just $499 at Amazon as we head into Cyber Monday. That isn't the lowest price we've ever seen, however, it's only $2 off the $497 price cut we saw in October. So at $100 off, this is still an awesome deal.
In our iPad Air M2 review, we awarded 4 stars and loved the strong performance of the M2 chip, as well as the excellent battery life and decent internal speakers.
Be fast! The iPad mini models have been selling like no tomorrow, with the iPad mini 7 and mini 6 being out of stock since Black Friday hit. Luckily, if you're still looking for a small Apple tablet, the iPad mini 6 is back on shelves, and it's $150 off.
Again, not many are left in stock, as many colors are already sold out. You can still pick up a striking Purple model though, so grab this discount while you still can!
