It's that time again, folks. Black Friday season — yes, it's practically an entire season now — has arrived. While the official shopping event technically won't take place for a few more weeks, some of the deals leading up to it are already pretty impressive. If you want to get some shopping done early, particularly on Apple gadgets, have at it. Plenty of iPads are already on sale for anywhere from $50 to $200 off, including the brand-new M5 iPad Pro models.
We'll be keeping an eye out for all the latest and greatest deals at the major retailers (Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target) as we get deeper into the holiday season. But for those who want to shop early, here are the best Apple iPad deals already live.
Best early Black Friday iPad deal
Why we like it
While most of the early Black Friday iPad discounts top off around $50 to $100, the 13-inch iPad Pro with the M4 chip is already chilling at $200 off. That's just $8 away from its best price ever. Now that the M5 chip has arrived, this iPad is no longer the shiniest new Pro model on the market — but that doesn't mean much in the era of iterative upgrades. Unless we see a significant price drop on the new M5, we recommend saving a bit of money and going with the M4 model instead. With this early Black Friday discount, you'll get double the storage (512GB) for the same price as the base model. When our reviewer tested it out last year, she said the M4 iPad Pro "blew us away with its power efficiency, striking display, and breakneck performance."
