Black Friday iPad Deals 2026: iPad and Tablet Offers

iPad and tablet deals published so far

iPad Black Friday deals for 2026 had not been priced by any big US store when we checked on 31 October. Black Friday is Friday 27 November. Apple had not announced a shopping event, Costco had announced an Apple Savings Event without naming the products, and Best Buy, Walmart and Target had published their sale dates but no iPad or tablet prices. This table lists what exists so far, with the date we read it, and we add each store's iPad prices as they appear on its own site.

Costco's savings cannot be combined with other offers, and its terms say Costco.com prices may be higher than warehouse prices. The full calendar for every store is in our guide to when Black Friday starts at each store.

Which iPad is the current model?

A Black Friday "deal" on an iPad is only as good as the model behind it. Stores often discount the previous model, which can be fine if the price reflects it. These are the models Apple lists first on its own compare page, read on 31 October 2026:

The chip is the quickest way to tell models apart, because the names stay the same. Check it in the product title or specs before you compare prices, and check the storage size too: a low headline price is often for the smallest storage tier.

iPad, iPad Air, iPad Pro and iPad mini deals

iPad

When the base iPad is on sale, check whether it is the A16 model or the older 10th generation, and whether the price is for Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi plus cellular.

iPad Air

The current iPad Air uses the M4 chip, in 11 and 13 inch sizes. Air models with the M3 or M2 chip may still be on shelves at lower prices, so compare the chip as well as the price.

iPad Pro

The current iPad Pro uses the M5 chip. As a guide to price, Apple's own financing example on 31 October used an 11 inch iPad Pro with 256GB at $1,199. A Pro discount on the M4 model is a discount on last generation's machine.

iPad mini

The current iPad mini uses the A20 Pro chip. The A17 Pro model is the previous one: Apple's own refurbished store listed it at $509 for the Wi-Fi 128GB version on 31 October, shown as was $599.

Does Apple discount iPads on Black Friday?

Apple's rules show how it treats sales: its 14-day price protection "excludes limited-time price reductions and special sales events, such as Black Friday". On 31 October, Apple's shopping event page sent visitors to the main Apple Store page, so no 2026 event had been announced. If Apple runs one, we add its dates and terms here, and we never use last year's offer as if it were this year's.

Most iPad price cuts in Black Friday week come from retailers such as Best Buy, Walmart, Target and Costco. Our Apple page lists the offers we have checked on Apple's own site.

Samsung Galaxy Tab and Android tablet deals

Samsung's US Black Friday address led to its general offers page on 31 October, which featured the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra and a holiday gift guide but no Black Friday tablet prices. When Samsung and the retailers publish Galaxy Tab offers, check two things: whether the price needs a trade-in, and whether a free gift or accessory is included at checkout or claimed later.

Retailers' Black Friday events can also include Android and kids' tablets. For a kids' tablet, check the parental controls, the warranty and whether a protective case is included, as listed on the product page.

Refurbished iPads: what to check

Refurbished iPads are sold all year, so compare them with Black Friday prices on new models. Apple's own Certified Refurbished store says its iPads come with a 1-year warranty and shows savings of up to 15%. With any seller, check:

• Who refurbished it: the maker, the store or a third-party seller.
• The warranty: its length and who honours it.
• The model and chip: refurbished stock can be an older model. Apple's refurbished iPad list on 31 October included the 9th generation iPad and the iPad mini 6.
• The return window: it can be shorter than for new items.

Returns and price rules for tablets

Note Target's shorter window for Apple products: an iPad bought there as a gift must go back by 8 January 2027. To check whether a "was" price is real, see our guide Are Black Friday deals real?.

Cyber Monday iPad and tablet deals

Cyber Monday 2026 is Monday 30 November. These Cyber Monday events had been announced on 31 October, and we add their iPad and tablet prices to this section when they are published:

• Best Buy: a Cyber Sunday and Monday sale (dates not printed), then Cyber Week Deals from 1 to 6 December.
• Walmart: Cyber Monday deals on Walmart.com from 30 November to 2 December.
• Costco: a separate Cyber Monday tab for 30 November on its Black Friday page.

Cyber Monday offers from every store we track are on our Cyber Monday page.

How we check these deals

We read Apple's own compare, store and help pages and each retailer's Black Friday, newsroom and help pages from a US server, and list only what they publish, with the date we read it: 31 October 2026 for this version. We do not test tablets or rate them.

We update this guide through November. All Black Friday offers we track are on our Black Friday deals page, and our other guides are in the Black Friday hub, including early Black Friday deals. This guide is written by the SavingArena Editorial Team.
