How we pick the best iPad deals

Macworld knows iPads. Our editors have used and reviewed every major iPad release and nearly every generation over the past 15 years, and have a working knowledge of all models, features, and specs. We buy iPads ourselves and track price drops all throughout the year, so we can tell the difference between a legitimate Black Friday deal and one that’s disguised to look good. We have a working knowledge of each model’s all-time low and make our recommendations accordingly.

Best Black Friday 2025 iPad deals

Black Friday itself is still a few days away, but Black Friday Week is here now, and Amazon, Best Buy, and other retailers in the U.S., U.K., and elsewhere are already slashing prices.

In the U.S. all of Apple’s iPads are at or below their all-time low, including the new M5 iPad Pro, which launched in October and received its first-ever discount which is a massive $100 off. We gave it a five star review as it is undoubtedly the best tablet on the market, but if you own an iPad Pro M4, or are looking at a deal on one, we suggest that it’s not a huge update from the older model.

There is also a a decent $100 off the iPad Air. Of note, the 128GB A16 iPad is $5 below its previous all-time low price with a $75 saving.

U.K.

In the U.K. we’re seeing a great £100 saving on the iPad Air, which is an excellent deal, but the deals on the other iPads in the U.K. aren’t as big as they are in the U.S (yet). The M5 iPad Pro only has a small saving, so right now we are looking at the older models to get a better discount. With that in mind, we’d recommend the M4 iPad Pro if you can find one (it’s £206 off at Amazon, but selling out fast).
