Black Friday & Cyber Monday iPad deals live blog: Best prices on Apple iPad, iPad Pro and more

Morning all, it's the penultimate day before the biggest retail event of the year officially starts. But we nor retailers could wait any longer. There are already deals aplenty, and if you're looking for shiny new Apple tablet this Black Friday, this is the place to be. 

Kicking our live deals page off is this modest deal on a new 2022 iPad at Very, which knocks £20 off – now £479. It might not seem like much, but this iPad is just a month old and so any kind of saving is a very welcome and pleasant surprise. 

We reviewed the iPad 2022 recently, and have to day, it's a marvellous little machine. And worth every penny of the increased price tag - especially with money knocked off. 

Want a portable tablet? The iPad mini is a great option for anyone who needs to work on the go. And right now it's dropped back down to the lowest recorded price on Amazon UK – iPad mini 2021 with Wi-Fi and 64GB SSD now just £459. 

We saw the mini drop to this price back in April, but haven't seen it reduced since. We've never seen it cheaper so who knows if the next few days will see a record discount, but being that the tablet retails for £569 in the UK, a £90 saving is a cracking deal.  

Last month Apple released a new 10th gen iPad, but unlike with other models, it did not supersede its predecessor. Apple has kept the 9th gen iPad in its line-up, which is testament to the capabilities of its entry-level tablet. The good news is the arrival of its younger sibling has meant the 9th gen model price has dropped, and is now available on Amazon for just $269. 

Retailing for £329, last Black Friday we saw this drop to $299, which was the lowest it had ever been. Then just last month, when the 10th gen was released, it dropped even further to $269, and now that deal is back again. 

If you want a tablet that is good for every day use, that can be shared between the family, the 9th gen iPad is more than sufficient. And at this price it's a total bargain. 

A super-hot iPad offer this Black Friday comes from B&H Photo, which currently has a very decent $100 off a brand new 2022 12.9-inch iPad Pro, dropping the price to $999. 

The new iPad Pro is an absolute powerhouse, and to see it for under a grand just a month after its release is a real treat. This particular model comes complete with M2 chip, 128GB SSD and Wi-Fi. 

We were blown away by the 4th generation iPad Air when it first appeared in 2020, and it's still impressive now. With the all-screen design and Apple Pencil 2, it gives the Pro a run for its money – and in the US right now, it's down from $599 to $349 at Walmart

If you're after the latest and greatest, the 11-inch 2022 iPad Pro, released just last month, is already discounted on Amazon with £40 off – bringing the price down to £859.

Apple is hardly a company known for its budget pricing, so it's pretty amazing to be able to grab an iPad for just over £300. On Amazon right now, the 9th generation 10.2-inch iPad is a whole £60 off, available for just £309!

If you want the almost latest and greatest, in the UK John Lewis is offering £100 off the iPad Pro 11-inch (5th gen, 2021), bringing the price down from £1,749 to £1,649. And this comes with a whopping 2TB storage – which is, let's face it, as much as you'll ever need.

The 5th generation iPad Air is one of the most powerful tablets around, and certainly gives the iPad Pro a run for its money. And at 15% off, bringing the price down from £669 to £569, it's a bargain at Amazon right now.

What's rarer than iPad deals? Apple Pencil deals. But right now on Amazon in the US, both the 1st and 2nd generation models are on sale, with $30 off the 2nd gen, and $20 off the 1st gen.

We're calling it – Amazon's 10th generation iPad deal is the one to beat this Black Friday. Right now, the 9th generation iPad is £60 off in the UK and $60 off in the US – which means for perhaps the first time ever, you can bag an iPad for under $300. And this is no discontinued model either – the 9th generation iPad is still sitting proud in the current iPad line up. In the UK it's £309, and in the US it's just $269.

When Apple announced its new iPads last month, there was a sting in the tale – it quietly raised the prices of existing models, most notably the iPad mini. But don't despair – right now, the 256GB iPad mini is a whopping $100 off at Amazon, bringing the price down from $499 to $400.

If you really want the iPad to act as a laptop replacement, then a Magic Keyboard is essential. Right now at John Lewis, you can save £20 on the accessory when bought with the awesome iPad Air 5, using the code APPLESAVE20.

Apple finally brought the entry-level iPad into the 21st Century last month, doing away with the home button and chonky bezels in favour of an all-screen design. And somewhat surprisingly, it's already available for £20 off in the UK at Very.

If you're considering buying your first iPad, it can be a little intimidating knowing where to start. What's the difference between the 9th and 10th generation? Do you need an Air or a Pro. Not only does our iPad generations guide have you covered, but Amazon also has a dedicated iPad page where you'll find every deal in one place.

Speaking of the latest gear, we're surprised to be seeing some deals on the latest iPad Pro already. Released just last month, the new high-end tablet features the Apple Pencil's awesome new 'hover' feature – and if you're hovering over the 'Buy' button, £40 off at John Lewis might make that decision a little easier.

Over in the US, you can also grab a great discount on the brand new M2 iPad Pro. Right now, the 128GB iPad Pro is available at B&H for $999, down from $1099.

If you're in the US and looking for a good Black Friday keyboard deal for your iPad, the Logitech K380 Bluetooth Keyboard for Mac is $10 off on B&H, now $29.99 (was $39.99). And UK users can rejoice too, as it's £5 off on Amazon, now £39.99 (was £44.99). 

Right now, the best deal on the iPad Pro with the M2 chip, which was released recently, is $100 off the asking price of $1,099 over at B&H Photo – it's now $999.

Now, that's not the biggest discount we've seen on this model. That was when the asking price was knocked down to $784, over at Amazon. But right now, this is the best we can find, if you want to get your hands on the most recent iPad Pro. 

Every time Black Friday comes around, consumers are given the same quandary: This year's model or last year's? And looking at the two best iPad deals that we can find right now, we're asking ourselves the same question again. 

Last year's model of iPad – which was a beauty – is currently down from $329 to just $269 over at Amazon. This year's iPad is down from $449 and going for $426. Both are 10.2-inch, and both come with 64GB. 

Now, we're not saying they're the same iPad. The new one has come with some new features, a nicely positioned camera on the landscape side of the iPad, and Apple Pencil 2 compatibility... but come on! It's the entry-level iPad. The standard one. The one that should appeal to the majority of buyers. For us, there's a clear winner here. We'd go for the much cheaper, and still brilliant 2021 model! 

Out of all the deals on this year's iPad Air, Amazon is currently winning with this discount – it's down from its retail price of $749 to $679, saving you $70. 

Seeing that that's on the 2022 model, the very same model that we almost gave a perfect five stars in our hands on review, we'd say it's a good deal that's worth considering. Want to get an idea of where the iPad Air stands in the iPad family tree? Check out our iPad Generations page. 

We don't often come across loads of brilliant iPad bundle deals (or any, really), but this one has definitely caught our eye. 

Right now you can get the iPad Pro 12.9-inch (M2, 2022) plus the Magic Keyboard down from $1,448 for $1,348 over at B&H Photo. Now, we know that's only a saving of $100, but quite frankly we just like the novelty of reporting on an iPad bundle deal. And, you know, $100 is $100... now you just have to worry about the $1,348!

It's now Friday in the UK. As in actual Black Friday. Normally that would mean a slew of new deals appearing as the clock ticks midnight, but it seems like we might already have got everything, at least as far as iPad Black Friday deals go. So many retailers starting their Black Friday deals early this year, and now it's actually Black Friday, there's nothing new on offer so far. 

That's not necessarily a bad thing though. We already have Black Friday iPad deals on pretty much every iPad that Apple produces, and it's hard to expect much more than that. The sales starting earlier also means making a choice is a little less frantic this year, because the deals aren't restricted to just one weekend (they could still end at any time, though).

But for anyone in the UK who was waiting up until midnight to be first to get the Black Friday iPad deals when the clocks struck 12, these are all the best offers on iPads right now: 

• iPad 10.9-inch (9th gen, 2021): £369 £309 at Amazon
• iPad 10.9-inch (10th gen, 2022): £499 £469 at Very
• iPad mini (6th gen, 2021): £569 £459 at Amazon
• iPad Air (5th gen, 2022): £669 £569 at Amazon
• iPad Pro 11-inch (6th gen, 2022): £899 £859 at Amazon
• iPad Pro Wi-Fi 12.9-inch (6th gen, 2022): £1,429 £1,391.36 at Amazon

You might have noticed that all of the iPads that we listed in that roundup of UK iPad Black Friday deals are the models in Apple's current lineup  – the latest generation of each device. Now, normally, we might expect to find the best deals on older models, but this year, that's really not the case. In fact, it's quite hard to find any older iPad models left in stock anywhere (at least not new; there are plenty of renewed models)

Even the April 2021 iPad Pros, which were only superseded a month ago have all but disappeared from stores. one of the few exceptions is the top configuration of the 2021 iPad Pro 11 WiFi + cellular with 2TB storage, reduced from £1,899 to £1,474.24 at Amazon. That's a massive £424.76 saving. 

It could be a good buy for anyone who really wants an iPad with that much storage. We'd normally suggest going for a smaller storage option and using cloud storage or external drives, but if you do want 2TB on board, that configuration of the new iPad Pro 11 will cost you a staggering £2,329, which makes the Black Friday deal on the older model sound really rather good.

So what about in the US? I've been searching, and there are more savings on older iPads there. Adorama has $349.01 off an early 2020 iPad Pro 11 with 1TB storage, now $949.99. That's a big discount for an iPad, and 2020 isn't so long ago, but the iPad Pros got quite an upgrade with the introduction of the Apple's own silicon in 2021. This has a A12Z Bionic chip device from prior to that upgrade. 

For most people, I'd say that if you need the performance of a Pro, pay a little extra for the newer M1 or M2-chipped tablets. The one exception would be If storage capacity is a big priority for you since the 1TB configuration of the latest iPad Pro 11 costs $1,499, so that's a massive difference in price compared with this deal.

The Apple Store is down, and that can only mean one thing. Apple's about to launch its own Black Friday deals!

Is this something to get excited about? Not really. I can tell you know what they'll be: gift cards to use against future Apple purchases. For iPads, we can expect Apple to generously give us a $50 / £50 gift card if we buy an iPad from it over this weekend. That's not really much of a deal when we're seeing direct savings of more than $50 / £50 on many iPads at other retailers.

So, yes, these are the deals. They're actually even stingier than I was expecting because when it comes to iPads, Apple's only giving away £50 gift cards with the 2021 iPad, the 2021 iPad mini and the 2022 iPad Air. Nothing for those who buy the more expensive iPad Pro (at least in the UK, I'll check the US gift voucher offers as soon as they're up.

We're sorry to pour cold water on Apple's grand reveal, but we have to point out that all three of these iPads are already available with direct discounts of at least £50 elsewhere. If you really want to buy from Apple, here's the link the Apple "shopping event" in the UK. But these are the best Black Friday prices on each of those three iPads elsewhere:

• iPad 10.2-inch (9th gen, 2021): £369 £309 at Amazon
• iPad mini (6th gen, 2021): £569 £459 at Amazon
• iPad Air (5th gen, 2022): £669 £569 at Amazon

Apple's taking it's time updating its store in the US. In the meantime, remember that as well as looking at iPads, Black Friday is a great time to grab any accessories you've had your eyes on – particularly AirPods.

A pair of AirPods are almost an essential iPad accessory if you want to use your tablet for listening to music, watching films or editing video anywhere public. And the great news is that Amazon has almost $50 off the best inner-ear AirPods yet, the updated version of the AirPods Pro which were only released in September. It has the AirPods Pro 2 reduced from $249 to $199.99.

We're wrapping up for tonight. We'll be back shortly to continue seeking out the best Black Friday iPad deals, but I think we're probably already seeing a lot of the best offers that we're going to get. And they're pretty good deals. 

You can see the full list above, but the highlights at either end of the spectrum are the standard 2021 10.2-inch iPad from $329 $269 at Amazon and the brand new super-powerful M2 iPad Pro 12.9 from $1,099 $999 at Amazon.

These both have Black Friday deals in the UK too: the iPad 10.2-inch is £369 £309 at Amazon and the iPad Pro 12.9-inch (M2 2022) is £1,429 £1,391.36

In the words of Tim Cook, good morning! Black Friday has officially begun, but for our money, the best deal turned up a day early yesterday. Yep, it's going to take some doing to beat Amazon's 9th generation iPad offer. It's £60 off in the UK and $60 off in the US – which means for perhaps the first time ever, you can bag an iPad for under $300. And this is no discontinued model either – the 9th generation iPad is still sitting proud in the current iPad line up. In the UK it's £309, and in the US it's just $269. 

It's fair to say Amazon has a deal on pretty much every iPad model right now. Not sure which is for you? Fear not, our guide to the various iPad generations has you covered.

Want to turn your iPad into a fully-fledged laptop replacement? Then you'll need the Magic Keyboard. Right now in the US you can get the iPad Pro 12.9-inch (M2, 2022) plus the Magic Keyboard down from $1,448 for $1,348 over at B&H Photo. And in the UK, at John Lewis, you can save £20 on the accessory when bought with the awesome iPad Air 5 using the code APPLESAVE20.

If we're being honest, we were a little confused by the 10th generation when Apple announced it, thanks to the higher-than-expected price. But when the time came around for our iPad 2022 review, we realised this is an extremely capable little machine – and right now, it's already down to its lowest price ever at Amazon, with £30 off bringing it to £469.

Apple subtly raised the price of the iPad mini last month, so if there's one Apple product you'll want to find a bargain on, it's the tiny tablet. And over on Amazon is exactly that, with the 64GB model down from £569 to £459 – a huge £110 off!

Unbelievably, that incredible 9th generation iPad deal is still in stock at Amazon in both the UK and US. It's £60 off in the UK and $60 off in the US – which means for perhaps the first time ever, you can bag an iPad for under $300. And this is no discontinued model either – the 9th generation iPad is still sitting proud in the current iPad line up. In the UK it's £309, and in the US it's just $269.

If you're looking for the absolute best of the best, Amazon currently has 3% off the brand new 12.9-inch M2 iPad Pro with cellular. This means the 128GB model is down from £1429 to £1391.

Perhaps the one thing rarer than an iPad deal is an Apple Pencil deal – so it's impressive that right now you can grab the awesome Apple Pencil 2 at Amazon for £20 off in the UK, and $30 off in the US.

We've talked a lot about that awesome £309 iPad deal, but if you want more storage than the basic 64GB, Amazon is also offering a discount on the 256GB model, down £90 to £459 in the UK.

With Apple offering such a vast amount of iPad models these days, and Amazon offering discounts on pretty much of all of them this Black Friday, it can be hard to know where to start. Take a look at Amazon's main iPad page for every deal in one place, and information about every Apple tablet.

There's still deals-galore to be had over at Amazon when it comes to iPads, including the 10.9-inch 2022 iPad Air with 64GB of storage where it's currently £669 £569. This 15% saving applies to the five varying colour options, and if you fancy some more storage you can currently save an even better £130 off the 256GB configuration.

Taking second spot in our guide to the best iPad Keyboards, you can currently get the Brydge iPad Pro MAX+ wireless keyboard discounted from $199 down to just $99 directly from Brydge themselves. Saving you $100, this Black Friday saving makes the popular keyboard just half price. The 12.9-inch size is sold out, but you can still save on the 11-inch model whilst stocks last.

This may be an older model of the iPad Pro, but sized at a comfortable 11-inches with 1TB of storage size this is still an excellent pick for any creative. Right now you can pick up the Space Grey 2020 iPad Pro (1TB) from Amazon for £1,299 £999.99. With a discount of 23%, this excellent tablet is now under £1000 and definitely considering.

We first reported on this discount yesterday, but this Amazon deal is still active where you can buy the compact 2021 iPad Mini (64GB, Space Grey) for £569 £459, saving you £110. There's savings across all the colour options, including £180 off the starlight variation. 

Okay, we already reported on this saving earlier but considering how rare discounts are on Apple Pencils we thought we'd share it again in case you missed it. Amazon has slashed the price of the 2nd Generation Apple Pencil from £139 down to £119 to save you £30.

We've got a hot US deal, Apple fans! If you've seen our last entry to this blog, you would see that Amazon is currently discounting the Apple Pencil in the UK. In this excellent Black Friday Apple deal, US buyers can also get an impressive $40 off the 2nd Gen Apple Pencil, taking it down to just $89 and making it the best price we've ever seen.

iPads are powerful tablets: if you add one of the many keyboard options you can easily turn it into a compact yet capable laptop. Logitech are one of the stand-out brands when it comes to iPad keyboards, and right now Amazon has slashed the price of the Logitech Combo Touch iPad Pro keyboard from $199.99 to $159.99. This saves you $40 on the 11-inch keyboard. Tidy!

iPad bundles are rare, and we're excited to see that this specific one has dropped a further $50 since we last reported on it. Head on over to B&H Photo to get the brand new 12.9-inch iPad Pro (M2, 128gb) bundled with the Magic keyboard for $1,298. These products usually retail for $1,448 together, so this is truly a steal of a deal for Apple Black Friday! 

With the release of the latest line of iPads being so recent, we weren't expecting to see many deals on them. However this Black Friday has left us pleasantly surprised with plenty of Apple discounts, including the 10.9-inch 10th Gen iPad (2022, 64GB) that is currently discounted from $449 down to $419 at Amazon, saving you $30. There are savings on the other three available colours, but weirdly the blue model is slightly cheaper than its siblings. 

Head on over to Amazon right now to save an appealing $55 off the brand new 2022 iPad Pro (12.9-inch, 128GB), taking it down from $1,099 to just $1,044. This is a great bit of powerful kit for any creative or student and we don't expect this deal to last long outside of Black Friday!

We don't often see bundle deals on iPads, but here's a Black Friday iPad deal that gives you everything you need to get up and running with the iPad Pro as a compact replacement for a laptop. B&H Photo has the new 12.9-inch iPad Pro (128GB) + Apple Magic Keyboard for $1,448 £1,298, a saving of $150.

We mentioned the bundle deal below, but what about if you want to buy a keyboard for the iPad Pro separately – or a keyboard for a different iPad? Well, Amazon has discounts the Magic Keyboard for both sizes of iPad Pro.

In the US:

• Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 12.9: $349 $299
• Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 11 / iPad Air 4: $299 $249
• Apple Magic Keyboard folio for new 2022 iPad 10.9: $249 $235

In the UK:

• Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 12.9: £379 £319
• Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 11 / iPad Air 4: £319 £299

The other key accessory you might want to pick up if you're buying an iPad this Black Friday is a pair of AirPods, especially if you'll be using your tablet on the move. And we're in luck, because Amazon has a huge surprise saving on the latest AirPods Pro, which have even better audio quality and active noise cancellation that before. Amazon has $50 off, reducing the price from $249 to £199. In the UK, there's £20 off – now £229.

Not strictly iPad related, but we should also point out that there are some great Apple Watch Black Friday deals out there, including even on the new rugged all-weather Apple Watch Ultra.

In the US: 

• Apple Watch Ultra GPS + Cellular: $799 $739 at Amazon
• Apple Watch Series 8 GPS: $399 $349 at Amazon
• Apple Watch Series 8 GPS + Cellular: $499 $449 at Amazon
• Apple Watch SE 2nd gen GPS: £249 £229 at Amazon

In the UK:

• Apple Watch Ultra: £849 £819
• Apple Watch Series 8: from £419 £399 at Amazon
• Apple Watch Series 7: from £369 £299 at Amazon
• Apple Watch Series 6 GPS + cellular: £553.69 £469 at Amazon 
• Apple Watch SE 2nd gen 40mm: £259 £249 at Very
• Apple Watch SE 1st Gen 44mm: £239 £219 at Amazon

Back to iPads, and one of the big questions everyone had when the new 2022 10th gen iPad was released was... why? It's better than the 10.2in iPad but still not an iPad Air. So if you're torn between the 2022 iPad 10.9 and the 2022 iPad Air (pictured), which is the best buy this Black Friday?

Amazon has the 2022 iPad Air from $599 $549 and the 2022 10.9in iPad from $449 $426. That leaves a difference in price of $123. Whether that's worth paying to get the Air will depend on what you want to use your iPad for. If it's just for general browsing and using apps, then maybe not. 

But if you're planning to do any kind of creative work, I'd say that extra $123 is worth paying for the Air. It's powered by Apple's M2 chip, which makes it a good deal more powerful than the 2022 iPad, and it supports Apple Pencil 2 – and if you're planning on doing any drawing on your iPad, you'll find that much nicer to use (the 2022 iPad supports Apple Pencil 1. You can learn more in our in-depth iPad 2022 review and our iPad Air (5th gen, 2022) review.

I feel we've been neglecting the iPad mini a little bit with all of the excitement over deals on the newer iPads, but it's worth remembering that for some people this could be ideal iPad. It's smaller than the 10.2in base iPad, but it's actually more powerful and it supports Apple Pencil 2, making it a great portable option for anyone who wants to sketch on the go, even on public transport, since its small size makes it a lot less cumbersome. 

In the UK, Amazon has the iPad mini 6 from £569 £459.

Hello there. It still feels like the middle of the night but we're up bright and early (dark and early, to be honest) to sniff out those iPad offers for you. And there's good news to start!

That surprising 2022 10th gen iPad deal, which saw about $22 knocked off the price of the newest iPad has got even better. Yup, there's another $8 to save on the 10.9-inch tablet in blue, bringing the price down from $449 to $419 at Amazon. Weirdly, the other colours are still $426, though. If you want the newest iPad, it's a great time to buy.

Good morning! Black Friday itself might be over, but the deals are still going strong – including the best iPad deal we've seen. The entry-level iPad is £60 off in the UK and $60 off in the US – which means for perhaps the first time ever, you can bag an iPad for under $300. And this is no discontinued model either – the 9th generation iPad is still sitting proud in the current iPad line up. In the UK it's £309, and in the US it's just $269.

Another of the best iPad deals is Amazon's 15% discount on this year's iPad Air 5, bringing the price down £100 from £669 to £569. It's still going strong, but might not hang around for long.

It's only a month old, but the 2022 iPad is already getting discounted for Black Friday weekend. Right now on Amazon UK, you can save £30, bringing the price down to £469.

That Amazon iPad mini deal is still alive! Right now you can grab the 2021 iPad Mini (64GB, Space Grey) for £569 £459, saving you £110. There's savings across all the colour options, including £180 off the starlight variation. 

Perhaps the one thing rarer than an iPad deal is an Apple Pencil deal – so it's impressive that right now you can grab the awesome Apple Pencil 2 at Amazon for £20 off in the UK, and $30 off in the US.

It isn't quite the latest iPad Pro, but if you want 1TB of storage normally you'd have to fork out a lot. Right now you can pick up the Space Grey 2020 iPad Pro (1TB) from Amazon for £1,299 £999.99.  With a discount of 23%, this excellent tablet is now under £1000 – which, for that much storage, is decent.

Look, iPads are expensive and you're most likely going to be taking them out and about so protection is vital. Mous are hailed as one of the best protective brands when it comes to tech, and right now you can save £40 on the 12.9-inch iPad 4th Gen case where it's currently £89.99 £49.99. This hefty case will ensure your iPad is protected from any accidental bumps and also features an integrated stand. It even has a nifty little space to comfortably store your Apple pencil whilst not in use.  

If you've already got a keyboard for your iPad, why not go the whole way and pick up a mouse to turn your tablet into a portable yet sleek mini laptop? Currently Amazon has cut the price of the Apple Magic Mouse from $79 down to $74. Yes, it's only a saving of $5, but it's the best price we're seeing on the mouse right now from various retailers! It's wireless, rechargeable and compatible with any iPad running iPadOS 13.4 or later. 

Get your hands on the latest Apple iPad (10th Gen, 2022) for less this Black Friday. The iPad (10th Gen, 2022) 64GB, Wi-Fi, 10.9-inch model in Pink is reduced to £499 £469at Very. This is a decent saving of £30 on the new, redesigned iPad.

If pink's not your colour, then the same £30 price drop is on ever iPad 10th Gen at Very, which includes the Blue, Silver and Yellow models.

If the previous AppleiPad (10th Gen, 2022) discount wasn't enough, the same retailer has a price reduction on the 64GB, Wi-Fi & Cellular, 10.9-inch edition – get it now for £679 £659 at Very. This is a small discount, but it is Apple's newest iPad and this model is Cellular.

If you're looking for an iPad then often the older models are still worth getting and right now an iPad 9th Gen, 64GB, Wi-Fi, 10.2-inch model is $299 $329 at B&H. This may be last year's iPad model and not the new 10th Gen redesign but it's still a great tablet, and with $30 is well-worth looking at.

If you need a little more from your tablet, then the same iPad 9th Gen model but with 256GB is now  $478 $419 at B&H, which is a decent $60 saving. Both models come in the Space Grey finish.

Want a good deal on the newest iPad Pro that makes use of Apple's powerful M2 chip? Then take a look: Apple iPad Pro 12.9-inch (M2, 2022), 256GB, Wi-Fi in Space Gray is now $1,199 $1,099 at B&H – a modest $100 saving on the latest model iPad Pro. The same retailer has two more iPad Pro offers, see below:

11-inch iPad Pro (M2, 2022) 256GB, Wi-Fi, Space Gray – $899 $849

12.9-inch iPad Pro (M2, 2022) 256GB, Wi-Fi, Space Gray – $1,199 $1,099

Selling fast! Get an Apple iPad mini Wi-Fi (2021, 6th Generation) for $499.99 $399.99 at Target. This $100 saving is an eye-catching deal on one of our favourite small tablets. This model came out last year but is still well-worth the asking price. Right now the Pink model is sold out, but Target has Space Gray, Purple and Starlight colours in stock. Read our iPad mini 2021 review for more on this smart small tablet.

Still with is deal hunters? We're heading over to B&H for some Magic Keyboard deals. The store is currently closed for Shabbat but the offers and discounts are live and you can load your basket in prep to get those bargains. I've picked some good Magic Keyboard offers below.

We've been talking a lot about how there are already Black Friday iPad deals on the brand new 2022 iPad Pros. We'd normally expect to see Black Friday discounts on the previous generation of a device but last year's M1 iPad Pro models were almost nowhere to be seen. Amazon does now have the 2021 iPad Pro 12.9 with 1TB of storage, reduced from $1,799 to $1,609. 

That's a saving of almost $200. But there's also $90 off the new M2 iPad Pro 12.9 with 1TB, making it $1,709. So if you want the 12.9in iPad Pro with a generous amount of storage, you're going to have to decide, is it worth paying $100 more for the newer device. The M2 model is a fairly incremental upgrade to its predecessor, but on the other hand a difference of $100 seems very small when we're talking about a device this expensive, so I think I'd go for the 2022 model.

Now, I know this is our Black Friday iPads blog, but it would be remiss of me not to point out that there are some pretty good Black Friday deals about on the iPad's main competitor too. A lot of Apple fans won't be convinced, but we rate Microsoft's Surface Pro very highly, especially for those that are looking for the advantages that come from being able to run fully fledged desktop software on a tablet. 

A lot of software providers – Adobe, for example – are now producing iPad versions of their programs, but there are still plenty who don't. Amazon has the brand new in Microsoft Surface Pro 9 with 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD reduced from $1,599.99 to $1,349 – a saving of over $250.

But back to iPads. Apple released four of them this year, and we're seeing deals on every one of those new models, from the upgraded standard iPad to the mid-range iPad Air and super powerful 11in and 12.9in iPad Pros. 

Which one of those should you go for. If you're in doubt, we'd generally recommend the iPad Air. That's because the fact that you're doubting about it probably means you're looking for better performance than what you get with the basic iPad, but if you needed the performance of the iPad Pros, you'd probably already know that.

And iPad Air 5th gen should easily handle most people's needs from general work and productivity to media consumption, drawing and basic photo and video editing. It has the same M1 chip as last year's iPad Pros, but it's a good deal more accessible in price, now starting at $599 $549 in this Black Friday... sorry, Cyber Monday iPad deal at Amazon.

• iPad Air 5th gen (M1, 2022): $599 $549 at Amazon

We'll be taking a break for a few hours in a while, but we'll leave you with this. One of the highlights of the Black Friday / Cyber Monday iPad deals we've been seeing this weekend, and probably the best deal for anyone who really does need the extra speed and power of an M1 iPad Pro. 

This Black Friday, we've seen the first discounts to date on the new 2022 M2 iPad Pro 12.9, a device that performs better than a lot of laptops and has a stunning Liquid Retina XDR screen for enhanced contrast.

Amazon US has the M2 iPad Pro 12.9 from $1,099 $999. That's $100 off the starting 128GB GPS configuration, and there are similar discounts across the entire range of configurations right now, including the GPS + cellular options.

Good night, and we'll be back searching for more Black Friday and Cyber Monday iPad deals tomorrow.

Hello there iPad nuts, and happy... well, Sunday (sorry we don't have a colour for it.. it's pretty grey here in the UK but that's about it). We are still searching for the iPad Black Friday deals right now, but as retailers switch over to Cyber Monday, we're fully expecting some new iPad Cyber Monday deals to appear. 

Now, whether it's an iPad Pro Black Friday hangover deal, or a brand-new one, we're still loving this brand-new iPad Pro 2022 that's had a price-cut at Amazon. It's small, but who are we to complain? Get $50 off the new kid on the block, bringing the 256GB version down from $899 to $849. That $50 could buy someone's entire Christmas present, so it's worth saving, right?

Cheeky retailer alert: The iPad mini (64GB, 2021) was discounted this weekend at Amazon, for £459, but is now being advertised for "20% off"... at over £600, with an RRP of £749... which it's never been sold for. The highest we've ever tracked it at is £619, so this is one of those times you have to be careful with nice-looking Black Friday deals.

It's not all doom and gloom though! You can get this same 64GB iPad mini at Currys for £459, so we recommend you go there if you're in the market for one.

Okay, we've already reported on this saving a few times but we feel it's important to keep letting people know that the Apple Pencil 2 is currently sitting at the lowest price it's ever been at $89. Considering it usually retails for $129, this $40 discount is a steal. As Black Friday slowly draws to a close, we wonder if this saving will stay live throughout Cyber Monday too...

Although not quite as great a saving as its US counterpart, UK buyers can head over to Amazon to get 14% off the Pencil too. 

Head on over to Very to pick up the 10th Generation iPad (2022, 256GB) for £679 £639. This deal covers all the colour options that I've listed below so you can head straight to whichever takes your fancy.

• Blue
• Pink
• Yellow
• Silver

If you're looking for a cheaper alternative to the most recent iPad releases, going for an older model is a good shout. Right now the 2021 10-inch iPad (WiFi, 64GB) in silver is cut from $329 down to $269.99, saving just under $60. Not a bad deal for a great tablet!

If you own the 2018/2020 iPad Pro (12.9-inch), there's currently a very appealing Cyber Monday deal active from Amazon on the ZUGU protective case where it's listed for $74.95 $41.99. This is a fantastic, hard-core case that will protect your tablet from any accidental damage. It features a slot to hold your Apple Pencil as well as an inbuilt magnetic kickstand to stand your tablet up.

It's been a while since we've shared an iPad keyboard deal, so let's get on that! Amazon still has 14% off the Apple Magic Keyboard (12.9-inch) so it's currently listed for $349 $299. It's pricy, but for a premium Apple price you get a premium Apple product!

Searching for a saving on the new iPad Pro? Amazon still has the 12.9-inch model with 256GB discounted from $1,199 down to $1,099. A saving of $100 goes far these days: maybe pick up the Apple Pencil 2 for a record low price of $89 whilst you're at it?

Apple are really getting into the spirit of Cyber Monday: right now they're offering free Apple gift cards worth up to £75/$75 alongside any purchase in their major product lines, including iPads and relevant accessories like the Apple Pencil. iPads currently qualify for a £50/$50 gift card, but this deal is only live until tomorrow so better be quick!

One of the best iPad deals we've seen this Black Friday is still live – right now you can grab the 9th generation iPad for 16% off in both the US and UK. In the US, it's down to just $269, while in the UK it's £309.

This deal is almost too good to be true, but it is true. Yes, we know this is on an iPhone, but you get a FREE iPad – so we think it's worthy of a place in our iPad blog. Head over to Verizon for this ridiculous deal, in which you sign up to an iPhone 14 Pro plan with 5G and get a bundle of free goodies with it, including an 64GB iPad (9th generation), an Apple Watch SE (2nd-gen) and Beats Fit Pro headphones. Yes, really.

There are other offers you can add in, too, including saving up to $1000 if you trade in your old phone and $200 for switching. It's a bit convoluted, but well worth it if you put in the effort.

We mentioned before that Amazon has a Cyber Monday iPad deal shaving $100 off the base configuration of the latest iPad Pro 12.9. The same saving is also available on the 256GB configuration. And Amazon has also Cyber Monday deals on the new iPad Pro 11, reduced from $799 to $739 in its base GPS configuration and from $1,099 to $999 for more generous 512GB storage.

It's incredible how Amazon and B&H Photo do so well at matching each other's prices. Very often they both have the same deals, and even seen to start them at the same time so they're certainly watching each other very carefully. That's the case on those deals on the 2022 iPad Pros. 

Sometimes one of them will have a deal that the other doesn't, however. For example B&H has a Cyber Monday iPad deal on the 2021 M1 iPad Pro 11 – now $849 for the 256GB GPS configuration. But why would you buy this when the 2022 model is the same price with its own Cyber Monday deal?

If you don't need such a powerful iPad, i.e., you're not going to editing video or doing 3D work, but you feel that you might need more power than the base iPad, then your best bet is the iPad Air. This comes with Apple's own silicon, so you get zippy performance, and, unlike the standard is supports Apple Pencil 2, which provides for a smoother, more pleasant drawing experience than the Apple Pencil 1 that works on the cheaper iPads.

The best iPad Air prices we've this Black Friday have been at Amazon, and it looks like it's staying that way as we enter Cyber Monday. Here are your best options:

• iPad Air 5th gen (M1, 2022) GPS 64GB: $599 $549 at Amazon
• iPad Air 5th gen (M1, 2022) GPS 2564GB $749 $699 at Amazon (limited colours)
• iPad Air 5th gen (M1, 2022) GPS + Cellular 64GB: $749 $699 at Amazon
• iPad Air 5th gen (M1, 2022) GPS 256GB: $899 $819 at Amazon

And speaking of Apple Pencil... If you're going for the iPad Air for it's Apple Pencil 2 support, then Cyber Monday is a good moment to pick up the pencil too. We don't normally see discounts of more than $20 on Apple Pencil 2, but right now Amazon has $40 off, reducing the price from $129 to $89.
