That being said, it's still not a bad choice for those who want a tablet for streaming or reading through the Kindle app. Ahead of Black Friday, the Fire HD 10 is down to its lowest price ever of $74.99. That's a generous 46% off for $65 in savings.

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.

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.

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.
