How We Identify the Best iPad Deals
Macworld’s editorial team brings extensive experience to identifying genuine discounts. “Macworld knows iPads,” one editor stated. “Our team has used and reviewed nearly every iPad release over the past 15 years, giving us a deep understanding of each model’s features, specifications, and typical price fluctuations.” The team actively tracks price drops throughout the year to distinguish legitimate Cyber Monday deals from misleading promotions, leveraging their knowledge of each model’s historical low price.
Best Cyber Monday/Black Friday 2025 iPad Deals
In the U.S., all Apple iPads have hit record-low prices during the Black Friday 2025 sales. The recently launched M5 iPad Pro, released in October, is available with a substantial $100 discount – its first-ever price reduction. The tablet received a 5-star review from Macworld, lauded as the best tablet currently on the market. However, analysts suggest that those considering the iPad Pro M4 may find comparable value in deals on the older model, which initially offered $150 off but is now available with a $100 discount.
Significant savings are also available on other iPad models, including $100 off the iPad mini and $150 off the iPad Air. The standard, entry-level iPad A16 was a particularly attractive deal at $279 during Black Friday, though the price has since risen slightly to $309, still representing a good value.
Here’s a snapshot of current U.S. deals:
- Amazon, iPad (A16): $309 ($40 off, MSRP $349)
- Amazon, iPad mini (A17 Pro, 128GB): $399 ($100 off, MSRP $499)
- Amazon, 11-inch M3 iPad Air (128GB): $449 ($150 off, MSRP $599)

U.K. Deals Offer Less Dramatic Savings
The U.K. market presents a different landscape, with a £100 saving on the iPad Air being a standout deal. However, discounts on other iPad models are generally less substantial than those available in the U.S. A £50 reduction on the iPad mini slightly surpasses Apple’s own £40 gift voucher offer.
Deals on the M5 iPad Pro are modest, prompting recommendations to explore older models, particularly the M4 iPad Pro, currently available at Amazon with a £206 discount, though stock is limited.

Apple’s Black Friday Approach: Gift Cards Over Discounts
Apple’s own Black Friday shopping event typically focuses on gift card offers rather than direct price reductions. “Every year, Apple holds a shopping event, but they rarely discount products directly,” one industry observer noted. This year’s event includes gift cards valued at $100/£80 with the purchase of an iPad Air and $50/£40 with the standard iPad and iPad mini. While these offers are less substantial than direct discounts, they can be beneficial for customers planning to purchase multiple Apple products or subscribe to Apple services.
Here’s a comparison of Apple’s gift card offers over the past four years:
| Year | iPad Pro | iPad Air | iPad mini | iPad |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | – | $100/£80 | $50/£40 | $50/£40 |
| 2024 | $100 | $75 | – | $50 |
| 2023 | $50 | $75 | $50 | $50 |
| 2022 | n/a | $50 | $50 | n/a |
With Cyber Monday offering a final opportunity to capitalize on these deals, prospective iPad buyers are encouraged to act quickly before prices return to normal.
