The brand-new M5 iPad Pro has up to $170 off for Black Friday

Black Friday iPad deals are here, and none is more surprising than $100 off the M5 iPad Pro at Best Buy. Apple's newest and most powerful tablet yet was only released a month ago, and yet there's already a solid discount on both the 11-inch and 12-inch models.

The $100 discount brings the price of the cheapest 11-inch Pro down to $899, while the 13-inch model starts at $1,199. That's with a 256GB SSD and the standard glass display. Best Buy has biggest discounts of up to $170 off higher-spec configurations with up to a 2TB SSD and nano-etched display.

Overview: The M5 iPad Pro is the latest generation of Apple's highest-end tablet. It retains the design of its 2024 predecessor, including the slimmed down chassis, vibrant OLED display with peak HDR brightness of 1,600 nits plus compatibility with Apple Pencil Pro for a great drawing experience. The only real change is the upgrade to the more powerful M5 chip and faster WiFi 7.

Review consensus: We gave Apple's newest iPad a 4.5-star review, which matches the rating we gave to its predecessor and is also in line with the opinions of our sister sites Techradar and Tom's Guide.

While the design is the same as last year's version, the additional performance boost makes it the most powerful consumer tablet on the market and the clear option for anyone looking for a potential MacBook replacement for drawing and a wide range of other creative work on the go.
