Early Black Friday iPad Savings Arrive
Shoppers seeking Apple's premium tablets need wait no longer as substantial Black Friday discounts have already appeared across multiple iPad models. With the official shopping event commencing on Friday 28th November 2025, retailers including Amazon, Argos and Very have jumped the gun with impressive price reductions on current-generation devices.
Senior tech critic Alex Lee has been tracking these developments closely, noting that this represents the optimal moment to purchase an iPad this year. The discounts extend across Apple's entire tablet range, from the entry-level iPad to the professional-grade Pro models.
Top iPad Deals Available Now
The most significant saving currently available is on the iPad Air M3, which has seen a £120 reduction at Amazon, bringing its price down to £579 from the original £699. This device, released earlier in 2025, earned four stars in The Independent's review, with tech critic David Phelan praising its powerful M3 processor and lightweight design.
Apple's mainstream 11th-generation iPad has dropped to £299 from £329 at Amazon. Launched in March 2025, this model features the faster A16 Bionic chip, USB-C charging and double the storage capacity at 128GB as standard.
Remarkably, the brand new iPad Pro M5, released just weeks ago, has already received a £55 discount at Very, reducing its price to £944. David Phelan described this device as beating "every other tablet out there" in his review.
The compact iPad Mini 7th-generation from 2024 features a £30 reduction at Amazon, now costing £469, while the previous-generation iPad Pro M4 has seen a substantial £100 discount at Argos, bringing its price down to £1,099.
Where to Find the Best Savings
Unlike previous years, Apple itself isn't offering direct price reductions on its website. Instead, the company is running a gift card promotion between 28th November and 1st December, offering up to £60 when purchasing select iPad models.
Third-party retailers are providing the genuine price cuts, with Amazon leading the way on multiple models. Currys, Argos, John Lewis and Very are also participating in the early Black Friday discounts.
The shopping event officially runs from Black Friday on 28th November through to Cyber Monday on 1st December, though many retailers began their sales earlier in November. As The Independent's senior tech critic with nearly a decade of deals coverage experience, Alex Lee will continue updating the latest price movements throughout the shopping period.
