I've been covering Black Friday iPad deals for five years now, and I'm telling my friends to go early on this one. Apple's luxury tablets don't have the best attendance rate over holiday sales - there have been some years with barely any discounts at all.

The 64GB Wi-Fi model on sale features Apple’s A13 Bionic chip, a 10.2-inch Retina display, 12MP front and 8MP rear cameras, Touch ID and all-day battery life. At under $200, it offers unbeatable value in the tablet market and easily outperforms all Android competitors in this price range.

M2 iPad Air with 512GB and WiFi is down to just $899 at Amazon. That's 18% in savings and its lowest price to date. There's really no point in sitting around and waiting for Black Friday to score a good great deal on an iPad.

Find early Black Friday deals on tablets from Apple, Amazon, Samsung, and more. Shop now for early savings of up to 50% off.

If you want to spend big bucks on a flagship Android tablet, Samsung's Galaxy Tab S10+ and S10 Ultra should be at the top of your list. Unveiled in late September, Samsung's 2024 flagship tablets pack modest upgrades over their predecessor.
