Official Black Friday sales are still a few weeks away, but many retailers are already sending big discounts live. That means now is a good time to upgrade your old and busted tablet for something a little more capable. Apple consistently makes some of the very best tablets on the market, and while the company itself rarely marks down its own products, plenty of retailers are offering early Black Friday discounts on the iPad lineup.
We’ve done all the deal hunting so you don’t have to, and we’ve found quite a few solid deals that will save you money on a new iPad. Just keep in mind that we can’t vouch for how long some of these iPad prices are going to last. Stocks could run dry soon as well, so we suggest ordering your new tablet soon if you come across a price that’s right for you. And if you’re in the market for other products, you can also check out our list of all the early Black Friday Apple deals we’ve found so far.

Is Black Friday a good time to buy an iPad?
There was once a time when Apple products were notorious for rarely going on sale, but that has started to change in recent years. As ever, deals are only worth snagging if you see the right product at the right price, but the Black Friday weekend is normally as good a time as any to bag yourself a bargain across the entire Apple product lineup.
When do Black Friday iPad deals start?
Black Friday officially kicks off on Friday, Nov. 29, but we’re already starting to see some deals pop up ahead of time. We do expect that things will really ramp up the week of the big event though, so don’t worry if you don’t see a price that matches your budget just yet.
Where is the best place to buy an iPad on Black Friday?
Shopping online allows you a great opportunity to compare specs and prices across various iPad models. While we won’t be seeing any direct discounts on the iPad at Apple, its devices are widely available to purchase through third-party retailers like Amazon and Best Buy. We’re seeing substantial discounts on a number of iPad variants at both retailers, making these the best places to buy one as we head into the holiday shopping season. If you’re a paying My Best Buy Plus or Total member, there are some extra savings to be had there too. Other places to keep an eye on include Target and Walmart, as well as various carriers that may be offering discounts on cellular models, though carriers will usually require you to open a new line of service to take advantage of those deals.
