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 Cyber Monday 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 Cyber Monday/Black Friday 2025 iPad deals

In the U.S., all of Apple’s iPads have hit their all-time low over Black Friday 2025, including the new M5 iPad Pro, which launched in October, has already received its first-ever discount: a massive $100 off. We gave it a 5-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, so deals on the older model are worth considering, although these were $150 off, but have now dropped to $100 off.

There is also a decent $100 off the iPad mini as well as $150 off the iPad Air. The standard entry-level iPad A16 was an absolute steal at its Black Friday price of $279, but the price has now gone up to $309, which is a good deal but not a great one.

U.K.

In the U.K. we’re seeing a £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. There’s now £50 off the iPad mini, which just about beats Apple’s £40 gift voucher deal.

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).
