For Black Friday, we’re seeing some of the best prices all year on AirPods, AirTags, and other Apple gear. And if you’ve been eyeing a tablet for streaming, browsing the web, and taking video calls, there’s no better time to save on an iPad. Right now, Apple’s latest entry-level iPad is down to a new all-time low of $274 ($75 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. You can also save $150 on the M3-powered iPad Air, while the iPad Mini has dipped back down to $399 ($100 off). For the best of the best, Apple’s latest iPad Pro has already received its first notable discount of $100 off.
Apple’s latest entry-level iPad is a great starter tablet for performing basic tasks. It has a speedy A16 chip and offers up to 10 hours of mixed-use battery life, whether you’re catching up on your favorite show, playing casual games, or even getting some light work done. You also get twice the storage as the prior model (128GB vs. 64GB), giving you more room to store photos and other media. And it supports the Apple Pencil (USB-C), so you can take notes and try your hand at drawing; however, the stylus doesn’t support pressure sensitivity and other pro features found in the Apple Pencil Pro.
While the base iPad is ideal for more basic tasks, it doesn’t support Apple’s AI-powered Apple Intelligence features. If you want a tablet that’s set up for the future, you can also save on the latest 11-inch iPad Air in its base configuration with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage, which is currently matching its all-time low of $449 ($150 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. The step-up model features an M3 chip for improved performance over its predecessor, along with support for Apple’s latest Magic Keyboard, which boasts a larger trackpad and an extra row of function keys.
Additionally, you can snag the compact iPad Mini with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage, which has returned to its best price of $399 ($100 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. If you prefer to have the latest tech, though, Apple’s new M5-equipped iPad Pro with Wi-Fi and 256GB of storage is down to an all-time low of $899 ($100 off) at Amazon and Best Buy. The slate is a relatively small upgrade compared to its predecessor, but it’s the model to beat if you want the best performance and best hardware in Apple’s lineup.
