Black Friday is fast approaching it’s a fantastic time to pick up a deal on an iPad.

This article is where we round up the best-value deals on the various iPad models available in both the U.S. and the U.K., as well as provide automated price comparison tables that will pull in the lowest prices across all the major retailers.

Best iPad deals for Black Friday 2024

As we head into Black Friday, Amazon, Best Buy, and other retailers in the U.S., U.K. and elsewhere are already discounting iPads and we expect even greater savings during the Black Friday weekend. Here are the best prices we’ve found so far:

10th-gen iPad deals

The 10th-gen iPad is the only iPad that wasn’t updated in 2024. However, Apple cut the price by $100 to $349, making it a far more attractive purchase. It’s the only iPad that can’t run Apple Intelligence, but it still gets our full recommendation for anyone on a budget.

U.S.

Amazon, 10th gen iPad (64GB): $259 ($90 off, MRSP $349)
Amazon, 10th-gen iPad (256GB): $429 ($70 off, MSRP $499)
Amazon, 9th-gen iPad (256GB): $349 ($130 off, MSRP was $479 – Clearance)

U.K.

Amazon, 10th-gen iPad (64GB): £289 (£40 off, RRP £329)
Amazon, 10th gen iPad (256GB): £437.69 (£61 off, RRP £499)

iPad mini deals

The iPad mini was updated in October with an A17 Pro processor and 8GB of RAM so it’s able to run Apple Intelligence, as well as double the storage, from 64GB to 128GB. Otherwise, the display and design are the same. If you don’t care about Apple Intelligence, you can still find a great price on an older A15 model, but remember that you get more storage in the newer one.

U.S.

Amazon, iPad mini (A17 Pro, 128GB): $400 ($99 off, MSRP $499)
Amazon, iPad mini (A17 Pro, 512GB): $700 ($99 off, MSRP $799)
Amazon, iPad mini (A15, 64GB): $350 ($149 off, MSRP $499 – Clearance)

U.K.

KRCS, iPad mini (2024, A17 Pro, 128GB): £489.02 (£9.98 off, RRP £499)
KRCS, iPad mini (2024, A17 Pro, 256GB) £587.02 (£11.98 off, RRP £599)
KRCS, iPad mini (2024, A17 Pro, 512GB): £783.02 (£15.98 off, RRP £799)
John Lewis, 9th gen iPad (64GB): £269 (£100 off, RRP was £369 – Clearance)

iPad Air deals

The newest iPad Air now comes in two sizes, 11 inches and 13 inches like the iPad Pro. It has an M2 processor and a repositioned front camera. Otherwise, it’s the same as the M1 model, which we loved.

U.S.

Amazon, 11-inch M2 iPad Air (128GB): $499 ($100 off, MSRP $599)
Amazon, 11-inch M2 iPad Air (1TB): $949 ($150 off, MSRP $1,099)
Amazon, 13-inch M2 iPad Air (128GB): $699 ($100 off, MSRP $799)
Amazon, 13-inch M2 iPad Air (1TB): $1,199 ($100 off, MSRP $1,299)

U.K.

Amazon, 11-inch iPad Air (M2, 128GB): £559.97 (£39 off, RRP £599)
Amazon, 11-inch iPad Air (M2, 512GB): £843.97 (£55 off, RRP £899)
Amazon, 13-inch iPad Air (M2, 128GB): £749 (£50 off, RRP £799)
Amazon, 13-inch iPad Air (M2, 512GB): £1,029.97 (£70 off, RRP £1,099)

iPad Pro deals

The iPad Pro was updated this spring with a new thinner design built around an M4 processor and OLED display. It’s the absolute best tablet Apple (or anyone else) makes, but it’s also very expensive and probably more than most people need.

U.S.

Amazon, 11-inch M4 iPad Pro (256GB, 8GB RAM): $850 ($149 off with coupon, MSRP $999)
Amazon, 11-inch M4 iPad Pro (2TB, 16GB RAM): $1,699 ($300 off, MSRP $1,999)
Amazon, 13-inch M4 iPad Pro (256GB, 8G RAM): $1,099 ($200 off, MSRP $1,299)
Amazon, 13-inch M4 iPad Pro (2TB, 16GB RAM): $2,099 ($200 off, MSRP $2,299)

U.K.

KRCS, 11-inch M4 iPad Pro (256GB): £979.02 (£19.98 off, RRP £999)
Amazon, 11-inch M4 iPad Pro (512GB): £1,124 (£75 off, RRP £1,199)
John Lewis, 13-inch M4 iPad Pro (256GB): £1,228.97 (£70 off, RRP £1,299)

Does Apple discount iPads for Black Friday?

Every year Apple holds a shopping event from Black Friday (November 29) to Cyber Monday (December 2). However, since Apple rarely discounts its products, the event consists of gift card offers rather than actual savings.

Apple’s Black Friday shopping event for 2024 includes a $100/£80 Apple Gift Card with purchases of the iPad Pro; $75/£60 Apple Gift Card with the iPad Air, and $50/£40 Apple Gift Card with the iPad 10th gen. You’ll notice that the iPad mini isn’t included–that’s because it is too new and Apple always leaves the newest products out of the deal.

It’s not a bad ‘saving’ if you want to buy more than one Apple product, as you can use your voucher to make a second purchase, or credit it to your account and pay for all your subscriptions for a few months. If you are looking for bigger deals though you will need to look elsewhere.

Here’s how the amounts compare to previous years.
