Apple enthusiasts across the UK have a golden opportunity to secure significant savings on their favourite tablets as Black Friday 2025 approaches, with numerous iPad models already receiving substantial price reductions ahead of the official shopping event.
Early Bird iPad Deals You Can't Miss
While the official Black Friday sale begins on Friday, 28 November 2025, savvy shoppers can already take advantage of impressive discounts from major retailers including Amazon, Argos, and Very. The current price drops represent some of the lowest prices seen this year for several iPad models, making now an ideal time to purchase.
According to Alex Lee, Senior Tech Critic at The Independent, "If an Apple iPad has been sitting on your wishlist all year, now's the time to take the plunge. Trust me, there is no better time than now to secure savings on the tech giant's products."
Top iPad Deals Available Now
Several standout deals are already live across various retailers:
Apple iPad Air M3 (256GB) has received a impressive £120 price reduction, dropping from £699 to £579 at Amazon. This recently released device features the powerful M3 processor and earned four stars in The Independent's review, with tech critic David Phelan describing it as "a powerful, immersive, lightweight beauty."
Apple iPad 11th-generation now costs just £299, down from £329 at Amazon. Launched in March 2025, this model boasts a faster A16 Bionic chip, USB-C charging, and double the storage at 128GB as standard.
Apple iPad Pro M5, 11in has been discounted by £55 at Very, reducing from £999 to £944. Despite only being released weeks ago, this premium tablet has already received praise for its outstanding performance and OLED display.
Apple iPad Mini 7th-generation features a £30 reduction at Amazon, now priced at £469 instead of £499. This compact tablet packs the same A17 Pro chip found in the iPhone 15 Pro and offers impressive battery life.
Apple iPad Pro M4 has seen a substantial £100 discount at Argos, bringing the price down to £1,099 from £1,199. This previous-generation model continues to offer "blazing-fast performance" according to reviewers.
Where to Find the Best Savings
Interestingly, Apple itself isn't offering direct discounts on its website. Instead, the company is running a gift card promotion where customers can receive a gift card worth up to £60 when purchasing an iPad Air M3, 11th-generation iPad, or iPad Mini 7 between 28 November and 1 December.
The real savings opportunities come from third-party retailers such as Currys, Argos, Amazon, and Very, all of which have already begun their Black Friday sales campaigns earlier this month.
Shoppers should note that these early deals might represent the lowest prices of the season, with some models already at or near record-low prices. The Independent's tech team will continue monitoring prices through Cyber Monday on 1 December to ensure readers don't miss any further discounts.
Whether you're looking for a powerful creative tool like the iPad Pro or a everyday tablet for streaming and browsing, this year's Black Friday presents an unprecedented opportunity to join the Apple ecosystem at significantly reduced prices.
