Buying an iPad during the Black Friday sales isn't simply a matter of clicking add to cart. As with anything, it pays to do your research, and ideally you should be going into the sales knowing which model, size and storage capability you're after.

While Apple are notorious for not offering deals on their website, you can still find plenty of Black Friday iPad deals at third-party UK retailers. This year we've already found some impressive offerings, including £55 off the all-new iPad Pro and £30 off the iPad A16.

Apple itself only tend to hand out gift cards in exchange for purchases during the Black Friday period; last year, you could get a gift card worth up to £80 if you bought an iPad from Apple. So, if you're looking to shop the sales, here's what you can get.

What iPads will go on sale this Black Friday?

By all the normal rules of Apple, the newest iPads shouldn't go on sale on Black Friday. The tech brand is usually very stingy with their offers meaning most of us have to shop older models in order to find a deal.

However, clearly the ghost of Black Fridays past has visited because almost the entire range of 2025 iPads are on sale. This includes the new mid-price A16, the iPad Air and the iPad Pro with the M5 chip.

You can find the best deals at third party sites like JD Williams and Very.
