Is Black Friday a good time to buy an iPad?
Apple products are notorious for rarely going on sale, however, with so many variants of the iPad available, pricing on different models has fluctuated throughout the year. Apple products — including iPads — are prone to some significant savings during major shopping events, and this year is no exception.
When do Black Friday iPad deals start?
While Apple’s own Black Friday gift card promo starts today, Nov. 24, there are many direct discounts available on the latest iPad models at third-party retailers. We see regular iPad savings throughout the year, but ahead of the holidays, we’ve been seeing steep price cuts across almost all models since the start of November.
Where is the best place to buy an iPad on Black Friday?
Shopping online allows you a great opportunity to compare specs and prices across various iPad models. While we won’t be seeing any direct discounts on the iPad at Apple, its devices are widely available to purchase through third-party retailers like Amazon and Best Buy. We’re seeing substantial discounts on a number of iPad variants at both retailers making these the best places to buy one as we head into the holiday shopping season. If you’re a paying My Best Buy Plus or Total member, there are some extra savings to be had there too. Other places to keep an eye on include Target and Walmart, as well as various carriers that may be offering discounts on cellular models, though carriers will usually require you to open a new line of service to take advantage of those deals.
