Apple's iPads are among the most popular tablet computers. This Black Friday is the perfect time to get any of the iPad models currently available, whether you're buying for yourself or as a holiday gift.
Apple iPad Black Friday Deals
Authorized Apple resellers including Amazon, Best Buy, B&H and Target have iPad deals this Black Friday:
Apple iPad (10th Generation)
Price: $349 ($100 savings)
Screen Size: 10.9 inches
Availability: Amazon, Best Buy and Target
The latest generation of Apple iPad boasts a powerful A14 Bionic chip and a Liquid Retina display. Apple used the 10th generation to switch to USB-C for faster charging and data transfers. That means you don't need Apple's proprietary Lightning connector cable anymore.
Apple iPad (9th Generation)
Price: $230 ($100 savings)
Screen Size: 10.2 inches
Availability: Amazon and Target
The previous generation of iPad launched in 2021, but it's still a powerful tablet that can handle all your apps. Compared to the 10th generation, this has a less powerful processor, lower-quality camera and slower Wi-Fi connection. It also uses Apple's Lightning connector, instead of the newer USB-C. However, it's great value for users who don't need cutting-edge technology.
Apple iPad Pro (6th Generation)
Price: $999 ($100 savings)
Screen Size: 12.9 inches
Availability: B&H
The latest generation Apple iPad Pro features Apple's powerful M2 chip and a 12.9-inch screen, the largest available on any iPad. Other technical specifications like its 128GB of storage or 8GB of RAM make this one of the most powerful tablets on the market. Perfect for content creators and other power users.
Apple iPad Pro w/ Wi-Fi and Cellular
Price: $950 ($750 savings)
Screen Size: 11 inches
Availability: Amazon
The standard iPad Pro is a powerful machine, but can only connect to the internet over Wi-Fi. This upgrade has 5G connectivity. You'll need to buy a data plan separately, but it's the ideal device for users who can't count on having a Wi-Fi connection handy.
Apple iPad Mini (6th Generation)
Price: $400 ($100 savings)
Screen Size: 8.3 inches
Availability: Amazon, Best Buy and Target
This compact powerhouse has all the functionality of its larger cousin, including an A15 Bionic Chip, Liquid Retina display and 12MP camera. Its smaller size makes it perfect for students, creatives and professionals who want a powerful device for notetaking and sketching that isn't a chore to carry around.
Apple iPad Air (5th Generation)
Price: $500 ($100 savings)
Screen Size: 10.9 inches
Availability: Amazon, Best Buy and Target
The Apple iPad Air has a powerful M1 chip (the same as the previous generation iPad Pro) and high-speed graphics processing. Despite these performance upgrades, it's still lighter than the standard iPad. The iPad Air is perfect if you want something fast without upgrading to the bulkier and more expensive iPad Pro.
Is Black Friday a Good Time to Buy an iPad?
Yes. This Black Friday delivers an all-time low price for the 9th generation Apple iPad, at just $230. Many users regard the 9th generation as the best-value iPad. Its price-to-performance ratio is even higher with these Black Friday discounts.
If you're in the market for an iPad with a cellular connection, you cannot miss Amazon's deal on the Apple iPad Pro with Wi-Fi+ Cellular.
