It might seem that Black Friday is an annual event with two Prime Days and many pre-keynote discounts. However, Black Friday is still the best day to score an Apple deal. It falls on November 25, one month before Christmas this year. And if you’re looking for a new tablet, we expect to see some excellent deals this year.
Black Friday 2022: Current U.S. iPad deals
Black Friday is approaching and you will find great deals on the iPad Air Mini, 9th-generation iPad, and iPad mini. The M2 iPad Pro has already seen its first discounts, even though it was just released a few weeks ago. Here are the best deals we’ve found:
$2022 11-inch iPad Pro (128GB), $749 ($50 off)
2022 iPad Air (64GB): 64GB: $520 ($79 off)
2021 iPad mini (64GB): $400 ($99 off)
2021 9th-gen iPad (64GB): $298 ($31 off)
2022 10th-gen iPad (64GB): $440 ($9 off)
Black Friday 2022: Current U.K. iPad deals
The UK offers are mixed. Amazon UK does not offer any savings on the latest 10-gen iPad Pro models. But there are excellent deals on the Air and mini.
2022 iPad Air (64GB): £569 (£100 off)
2021 iPad mini (64GB): £459 (£110 off)
2021 9th-gen iPad (64GB): £309.98 (£59.02 off)
Black Friday 2022: iPad Deals from Apple
Apple doesn’t offer actual discounts over Black Friday, but it will likely hold its annual holiday shopping event from November 25-28. Instead of lower prices, Apple gives away gift cards with some purchases, and most newer products aren’t included. This means that the M2 iPad Pro 10th-generation iPad and the M2 iPad Pro will not be available for purchase, but all other iPads will receive $50 or $100 gift certificates. However, we’re not sure what will be offered in the U.K. due to recent price increases.
Black Friday is likely to bring about significant savings for the iPad Air.

Amazon Black Friday iPad Deals
Last year, Amazon had limited supply of iPad Airs and iPad minis. This made it hard to find iPad Air and iPad mini discounts. That won’t be the cases this year. As you can see above, we’re already seeing impressive savings on those models and they could go oven lower over Black Friday. We expect modest savings for the latest M2 iPad Pros. However, we’d be surprised if you see any significant discounts on this 10th-gen model.
Black Friday iPad Deals from Best Buy
Best Buy is an excellent place to get iPad deals. We expect great deals this year. Amazon is also expected to offer great deals on iPad Air and iPad mini. We also expect excellent deals for older stock of M1 iPad Pro (which we think is still an amazing tablet). Best Buy also offers Apple Music and Apple News+ for four more months, which is slightly longer than some other outlets. If you are unable to find a cheaper price and prefer shipping from Best Buy, the prime-match policy is still in place.
Black Friday iPad Deals
Costco’s regular iPad prices are lower than other retailers, so it can be a great place to get a good price. It regularly sells the 10th-gen iPad at $440 (a $9 discount) and the 12.9 inch M2 iPad Pro at $1,070 ($29). Normally, you don’t need to be a member to buy APple devices, though members sometimes get extra savings and offers. Additionally, Target and B&H Photo will likely offer sales that are likely similar to Amazon discounts.
