Black Friday isn’t *technically* for another couple of weeks, but most of the retailers are wising up and launching their discounts much earlier. Although we’re covering all the best early Black Friday deals on the likes of fitness equipment and home appliances, consumer tech is always ripe for the big savings.
And that bodes well for me, because it’s come time to look for a new iPad. This year has been the first year since its introduction that Apple hasn’t released a new iPad model. The reason? It’s planning a wholesale revamp of the lineup for 2024, according to rumors. For that reason, retailers will surely be looking to empty out their inventory ahead of the new products — so it’s time to swoop in and grab a bargain.
Although 2023 has been a strong year for the best Android tablets (looking at you, OnePlus Pad), the iPad is still the top recommendation. The usability Apple is able to fashion from its dedicated iPadOS experience is unmatched by anything in the Android space and that’s why the iPad Air tops our list of overall best tablet recommendations.
I’m partial to the iPad mini myself, and have been waiting patiently for the iPad mini 7 to emerge. But I may just be tempted to pick up the current version at a Black Friday discount. Here’s a few other iPad deals I’m mulling over.

It’s not specifically an iPad, but you can also find some reductions on relevant accessories in the run up to Black Friday. If you’re picking up a compatible model, I highly recommend pairing it with the 2nd generation Apple Pencil stylus.
