Every week, we scour the internet in search of good discounts on iPads and present them in this post. We can safely say that it It’s a shopping week. Thanks to Black Friday, we’re seeing discounts that drop Apple’s latest products to all-time lows. While we’re at it, we also collected other notable Apple deals — and there are many. If you’ve been waiting to get a new iPad for yourself, your child, or as a gift, or if you’re hoping to get a discount on the new AirPods Pro, now is the time. The deals here come from retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Best Buy because you won’t find sales on Apple’s own website. (Though through November 28, Apple.com is offering up to $250 in gift cards with your purchases.) For now, these are the best iPad deals we could find.

The latest base-model iPad now comes with twice the storage of the previous model and sports the A16 chip. This makes even the most affordable iPad faster and more capable, and we found it to be more than capable of handling the work most people like to do with an iPad: playing games, watching shows, peeking at your social media, and doing some basic productivity like messaging and email. It doesn’t support Apple Intelligence, but that didn’t bother us in our review, in which we ultimately awarded it an 84. This is the lowest price ever. Also at Walmart, Best Buy and Target.
$279 on Amazon
Apple iPad Mini (A17 Pro, 8-inch) at $399 ($100 off): The iPad Mini is exactly what it sounds like: a smaller iPad. This latest iteration has an improved A17 Pro chip – which is good enough to support Apple Intelligence – as well as 128GB of storage in the base model and Apple Pencil Pro support. As before, you’ll buy this if you value the smaller 8.3-inch display and want a tablet that you can more easily hold with one hand. This deal is within $20 of the lowest price we’ve tracked. Even at Best Buy.
Apple iPad Air (M3, 13-inch) at $649 ($150 off): We loved the last generation iPad Air. The latest version has the faster M3 chip, which performed excellently in our benchmark tests. Overall, we gave it a score of 89 in our review and it’s currently our top pick among the iPad family. This is a model with a larger 13-inch screen, which is a little harder to carry and hold, but it will give you more real estate for watching shows and playing games. That $649 price tag matches the lowest price we’ve seen this year.
Apple iPad Pro (M5, 11-inch) at $899 ($100 off): Apple’s latest iPad only came out less than a month ago, but it’s now discounted by $100 at various retailers. At Amazon, the base model with the M5 chip and 256GB of storage in black is down to $899. We have given this iPad Pro a score of 85 in our review. It has a class-leading OLED display and impressively slim design, while the new M5 chip is powerful enough to do just about anything you want with an iPad. It is the only Apple tablet to support fast charging. That said, this is still more iPad than casual buyers will need, so it’s best suited for hardcore iPad users and those who have the cash to spend. Also at Best Buy and Walmart, and at B&H for $949.
Apple iPad Pro (M5, 13-inch) at $1,199 ($100 off): The 13-inch iPad Pro is virtually the same as the 11-inch version, only it’s larger. It’s also more expensive, but the extra screen space may be worth it if you’re committed to using the Pro as your main computer. Also buy Best Buy for $1,199 and B&H for $1,249.

This is the biggest discount we’ve ever seen on the latest AirPods Pro. The third generation buds come with a number of new features and we called them an important update in our review. Active noise cancellation is better than ever, and so is the sound quality. Advanced features like live translation, hearing health tools, and heart rate sensing for workouts. These remain our top choice for earbuds for anyone with an iPhone. Also at Walmart and Target.
$220 on Amazon
AirPods 4 without ANC $80 (off $49): If you don’t need active noise cancellation, you can go for Apple’s most affordable earbuds, the AirPods 4 without ANC. These were revealed along with the iPhone 16 last September. Engadget’s Billy Steele reviewed them and praised their comfort, superior sound quality, and advanced features like voice isolation and personalized spatial audio for calls. This is the lowest price we have ever seen.
AirPods 4 with ANC for $169 ($10 off): These buds have ANC, but they don’t have the interchangeable ear tips you’ll find on the AirPods Pro 3. Still, these have a better fit than the previous version, as well as good sound quality and a plethora of advanced features.
Apple MacBook Air (13-inch, M4) at $749 ($250 off): Apple’s latest MacBook Air takes the top spot in our guide to the best laptops, earning a score of 92 in our review. It’s not a huge change, but the design is still exceptionally thin, light and well built, with long battery life and a great keyboard and trackpad. Now it’s a little faster. (Though we’d still prefer more ports and a refresh rate higher than 60Hz.) That’s a new all-time low for the base model with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, but that’s also a $250 discount on the higher-end configuration. But also and it’s $100 off.
Apple MacBook Air (15-inch, M4) at $950 ($250 off): The 15-inch MacBook Air is almost identical to the smaller version; Apart from its huge display, it includes better speakers and a more spacious trackpad. This deal is at an all-time low, and other configurations are similarly discounted.
Apple’s most recent M-series chip is the M5, and it’s only equipped with the 14-inch MacBook Pro and iPad Pro. When the M5 MacBook Pro M5 arrived last month, we awarded it a 92. That new chip gives the laptop an impressive graphics upgrade that helps make it more suited for gaming — an area where Apple still lags behind PCs. Apart from the chip upgrade, it’s mostly the same, which is a good thing. It’s sturdy, powerful and has an impressively long battery life – we clocked 34 hours in a video run-down test. Also on sale on Amazon for almost the same price.
Apple MacBook Pro (16-inch, M4 Max, 36GB memory, 1TB storage) for $3,064 ($435 off): If you’re looking for a near-top-tier MacBook, here’s a configuration to consider. It has the fastest M-series chip currently available (though with the release of the M5 chip, M5 Pro and M5 Max chips are no doubt to come). For now, it is a beast that only professional users can appreciate. And the price matches that power. The MacBook Pro is our recommended MacBook for creatives and we gave the 16-inch, M4-series model a 92 rating in our review. This is the lowest price we’ve seen for this configuration.
: There are no major changes to this latest model from the Series 10; Hardware updates included a tougher screen and longer-lasting battery. But if you’re upgrading from anything before the Series 10, you’ll likely enjoy the thinner, more comfortable fit. In our opinion, it is. It is a great companion for the iPhone and also offers fitness tracking. Besides, and.
Apple Watch SE 3 (40mm, GPS) at $200 ($49 off): This matches the biggest discount seen for the third-gen version of Apple’s entry-level smartwatch, which was released in September. We have given it 90 points in our review. The big upgrade here is the always-on display, which means you no longer need to wake the watch up to check the time or your notifications. (This technology was previously limited to more expensive Apple Watch models.) The watch now runs on the same S10 chip as its higher-end siblings, plus it still covers the essential health and fitness features. If you’re in the market for your first smartwatch, or if you just want a watch for step counting, sleep tracking, and notifications, this is a strong value. But also.
Apple Mac Mini (M4) at $479 ($100 off): The latest version of Apple’s tiny desktop PC has a smaller overall footprint, a faster M4 chip, 16GB of RAM as standard (finally), two front-facing USB-C ports, an additional Thunderbolt 4 port, and the ability to drive up to three external displays. However, there is no USB-A port. We gave the M4 Pro model a review score of 90. This deal is for the entry-level version with the base M4 chip, 16GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD — we’ve seen it drop to $469 before, but that’s still a nice savings. Also at Best Buy and B&H it’s priced at $499.
Apple Pencil Pro at $99 ($30 off): The top-end option in Apple’s confusing stylus lineup, the Pencil Pro supports pressure sensitivity, wireless charging, tilt detection, haptic feedback, and Apple’s double tap and squeeze gestures, among other features. It’s a beautiful tool for more complex sketching and note taking, but the problem is that it’s only compatible with the M4 iPad Pro, M2 and M3 iPad Air, and the latest iPad Mini. We’ve seen this deal a few times during the year, but it’s a nice discount compared to buying directly from Apple. Also at Best Buy and Walmart.
Apple AirTag (4-pack) at $65 ($34 off): We may see an updated model soon, but the existing AirTags are the best Bluetooth trackers for iPhone owners right now, thanks to their huge search network and accurate ultra-wideband technology that makes it easy to locate nearby objects. Just keep in mind that you’ll need a separate AirTag holder to attach them to your keys, wallet, or bag. The discount linked here is within a dollar of the best deal we tracked other than the obvious pricing error on Apple’s site. Also at Best Buy and Walmart. If you just need one tracker, you can get one on Amazon for $18.
