Is Black Friday a good time to buy an iPad?
There was once a time when Apple products were notorious for rarely going on sale, but that has started to change in recent years. As ever, deals are only worth snagging if you see the right product at the right price, but the Black Friday weekend is normally as good a time as any to bag yourself a bargain across the entire Apple product lineup.
When do Black Friday iPad deals start?
Black Friday officially kicks off on Friday, Nov. 29, but we’re already starting to see some deals pop up ahead of time. We do expect that things will really ramp up the week of the big event, though, so don’t worry if you don’t see a price that matches your budget just yet.
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 smaller online retailers like Adorama and B&H Photo, as they may be offering some under-the-radar discounts that haven’t been matched by other competitors.
