The anticipation is building. It’s that time of year when shoppers eagerly await the arrival of Black Friday, and for iPad enthusiasts, the potential savings are particularly exciting. This year promises a wave of discounts on Apple’s popular tablets, with deals already appearing before the official event even begins.
Imagine upgrading to the latest iPad Pro without breaking the bank. Currently, Amazon is offering $100 off the 11-inch M4 iPad Pro (512GB) and a substantial $200 discount on the 13-inch M4 iPad Pro (256GB). These early offers hint at the significant savings to come as Black Friday approaches, potentially reaching all-time lows across the entire iPad lineup.
The deals aren’t limited to the Pro models. The standard iPad (A16 chip, 128GB) is available for $299, a $50 reduction from its usual price. For those seeking portability, the iPad mini (A17 Pro, 128GB) is marked down to $474, saving you $25. Even the iPad Air, in both 11-inch and 13-inch sizes, is seeing price drops of $50.
Across the Atlantic, in the U.K., similar savings are emerging. The standard iPad is available for £299, a £30 discount, while the iPad mini can be found for £461, saving £38. Pro models are also seeing reductions, with the 11-inch M5 iPad Pro available for £979, a £20 saving.
But what if you’re unsure which iPad is right for you? Consider the latest updates. Apple’s most affordable iPad now boasts an A16 chip and double the storage, making it an exceptional value. The iPad mini received a significant upgrade with the A17 Pro processor and increased RAM. The iPad Air benefits from the powerful M3 chip, while the Pro models continue to push the boundaries of tablet technology.
Don’t forget the accessories! Black Friday is also an ideal time to snag deals on essential iPad companions. The Apple Pencil Pro is currently $99, a $30 discount, and the Apple Pencil USB-C is available for $70, saving $9. Magic Keyboards, in various sizes and configurations, are also seeing price reductions, enhancing your iPad’s functionality.
For U.K. shoppers, the Apple Pencil Pro is available for £119, a £10 saving, and Magic Keyboards are also discounted. Other accessories like USB-C charge cables, power adapters, and even AirTags are seeing price drops, allowing you to fully equip your iPad setup.
While Apple itself traditionally offers gift card promotions rather than direct discounts during its Black Friday event, the savings available through retailers like Amazon and others are substantial. Keep in mind that newer models, like the recently released M5 iPad Pro, may not be included in Apple’s direct promotions.
The key to securing the best deal is preparation. Research the models you’re interested in, compare prices across different retailers, and be ready to act quickly when the best offers appear. Black Friday is a fleeting opportunity to upgrade your technology at an unbeatable price.
