If you have been scouring the internet and the best Black Friday deals for one of the best iPads then, well, we might be about to put an end to that laborious task for you. Because this one's a 5-star deal.
Check out the Apple iPad (10th Generation) deal on Amazon
Apple's entry level iPad – known as the iPad (10th generation), or iPad (2022) – has just hit its lowest-ever price. And when we say ever, we mean it – during its entire existence since that 2022 launch it's never been this affordable.
The Apple iPad has a 26% saving. It's Apple's entry-level slate, offering a large 10.9-inch display that's great for watching your favorite film or catching up on emails. It's a perfect family tablet, with plenty of power, and for a great price.
In the last six months, according to price-tracking site CamelCamelCamel, the iPad has sat just under the $300 mark. But for Black Friday it's has dropped to under $260.
The best news is that all four colours this iPad comes in are discounted – so whether you want bright yellow, pink, blue or classic silver, the starting price is the same. The pink is my colour of choice – but all the colours are rich and vibrant with plenty of pop.
The Apple iPad is the entry point into Apple's portfolio, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth your attention. It doesn't support Apple Intelligence, but it does have a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display that is great for watching content, dabbling in a bit of work, checking your emails, and browsing the web.
It's the tablet we use in my home as the family tablet, with thousands of apps and games to entertain little ones (and bigger ones), and a decent battery life (10 hours) to survive long car journeys or flights. And while you don't get as much power as the iPad Air (M2), there's still enough here for a slick and smooth performance.
If an iPad is on your Christmas wish list, this deal is one you really shouldn't miss. We can't see this iPad being cheaper than this until it's replaced – so snap it up while you can.
