None of the 2 iPad prices we track is cheaper than in early November yet. We'll flag real discounts here as soon as prices drop. How we check.
Black Friday iPad deals on the 11-inch iPad (A16), iPad Air M3 in 11-inch and 13-inch, iPad Pro 11-inch M5, iPad mini (A17 Pro), Apple Pencil Pro and Apple Pencil (USB-C) from UK retailers. Each one is checked against the lowest price we logged for it in early November.
The cheapest listing is usually the 128GB Wi-Fi model, so compare the same storage and connectivity before judging a deal. Check Pencil compatibility too: a discounted Pencil is no bargain if it does not work with your iPad.
Compare storage and Wi-Fi versus cellular versions, as the cheapest listing is usually the smallest Wi-Fi model. Check which Apple Pencil works with the iPad you choose. For most people the standard iPad or iPad Air is enough; the Pro is worth it for heavy creative work.
Storage matters more than on many devices because it cannot be upgraded. 128GB suits streaming and browsing, but downloaded films, games and large apps fill it faster than you might expect. A cellular model only makes sense if you will actually pay for a data plan; most people can use their phone's hotspot instead.
Common Black Friday traps include bundles that pad the price with a case or older accessory, "was" prices from a brief high, and older generations sold under nearly identical names. Check the chip in the listing title (A16, M3, M5 and so on) so you know which generation you are getting. If a newer generation has been announced, the outgoing model can be good value, but only if the price has actually dropped.
Accessories add up quickly: a keyboard case and Pencil can cost a large share of the iPad price, so factor them into your budget. Read how we check prices to see how our verdicts work.

See the saleSome are and some are not. We compare every deal with the lowest price we logged for it in the reference week, 8 to 14 November. Deals at least 5% below that price get the "Real discount" label in the tables above; others show as "Same as early Nov" or "Pricier than early Nov", so you can see at a glance which offers are genuine.
The standard iPad covers browsing, streaming and schoolwork. The iPad Air adds a faster M-series chip, a 13-inch option and Apple Pencil Pro support. The iPad Pro is for demanding creative work, and the iPad mini suits people who want something small for reading and travel.
The Apple Pencil (USB-C) works with all the current iPads we track. The Apple Pencil Pro works with recent iPad Air, iPad Pro and iPad mini models, but not with the standard 11-inch iPad (A16). Check Apple's compatibility list for your exact iPad model before buying a Pencil deal.
iPad deals often start appearing in early to mid November, before Black Friday on 27 November {year}, and some run until Cyber Monday on 30 November. We log prices from the reference week of 8 to 14 November, so every deal here is compared with a price from before the main sales.
Only if you want mobile data without your phone and will pay for a data plan or SIM. Cellular models cost noticeably more than the Wi-Fi versions, and most people use the iPad on Wi-Fi or through their phone's hotspot. Make sure you compare Wi-Fi with Wi-Fi when looking at our price verdicts.
It varies by model and changes during the sales, so no single retailer is always cheapest. Apple rarely cuts its own prices, so most iPad discounts come from other retailers. Our tables show the current price at each retailer we track, with a verdict comparing it to early November.
