Is Black Friday a good time to buy an iPad?
Apple products are notorious for rarely going on sale, however, with so many variants of the iPad available, pricing on different models has fluctuated throughout the year. Apple products -- including iPads -- are prone to some significant savings during major shopping events, which is why we expect to see plenty of iPad Black Friday deals cropping up this year.
Where is the best place to buy an iPad on Black Friday?
Shopping online allows you a great opportunity to compare specs and prices across various iPad models. While we don't expect to see any direct discounts on iPad from Apple, these devices are widely available to purchase through third-party retailers like Amazon and Best Buy. We have seen substantial discounts on a number of iPad variants in the past at both retailers and each will likely be among the best places to buy one as we head into the holiday shopping season. Other places to keep an eye on include Target and Walmart, as well as various carriers that may be offering discounts on cellular models, though carriers will usually require you to open a new line of service to take advantage of those deals.
