I've been covering Black Friday iPad deals for five years now, and I'm telling my friends to go early on this one. Apple's luxury tablets don't have the best attendance rate over holiday sales - there have been some years with barely any discounts at all.

If you’re looking for a deal on anything Apple sells—an iPad, Apple Watch, AirPods, MacBook, or anything else, there’s no better time to get one than Black Friday. No matter what you’re looking to buy, you’re going to find a great price—possibly the lowest ever.

However, shopping from retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart can often net you more savings — and all of those retailers have started to roll out early Black Friday-worthy deals on Apple products, with their official early Black Friday sales starting weeks ahead of the actual day.

Although we are still weeks away from Black Friday, most of the Apple iPad models - including the ones that were released this year - have already dropped to the lowest prices we've ever seen. Many of these deals are likely to be the same ones we'll see from Apple on Black Friday proper,

The 64GB Wi-Fi model on sale features Apple’s A13 Bionic chip, a 10.2-inch Retina display, 12MP front and 8MP rear cameras, Touch ID and all-day battery life. At under $200, it offers unbeatable value in the tablet market and easily outperforms all Android competitors in this price range.

We've spotted tons of ways to rake in the bargains! Get up to 50% off vacuums, kitchen appliances, holiday decor and other festive finds.

The early Black Friday sales are in full swing, with retailers like Currys, Argos, Boots and Shark dropping their best deals ahead of the official start date of 29 November. You’ll find all of the best deals in our shopping guides, but for a real-time stream of the latest discounts and Black Friday news, our liveblog has you covered.

M2 iPad Air with 512GB and WiFi is down to just $899 at Amazon. That's 18% in savings and its lowest price to date. There's really no point in sitting around and waiting for Black Friday to score a good great deal on an iPad.
