Apple’s newest iPad is cheaper than ever this Black Friday week, so pick one up while they’re still in stock
Even during Amazon’s Black Friday event, it’s not often we see the retail giant discount the price of Apple products. However, that’s a little different this year, with the latest iPad now available for just $279. That’s a cool $70 cheaper than the Apple tablet was this time last month, but this deal won’t be around for long.
As a top pick from our guide to the best iPads, the A16 iPad is a killer all-rounder, whether you’re looking for something to help you get creative from the sofa or you’d rather stream the latest series of Stranger Things in bed. Still, we like it most for its gaming capabilities, with the Apple A16 chip offering a level of performance that seemed unimaginable only ten years ago, in the glory days of Angry Birds. We still love Rovio’s puzzle game, but there’s a lot more to play these days thanks to the massive Apple Arcade games library.
Not only is the iPad’s performance impressive, but it also boasts a bright and vivid Liquid Retina display that beats out a lot of the competition, including the latest tablets from the likes of Samsung and Lenovo. You’re not going to find anything quite as impressive for under $300, and it makes even more sense to pick one up if you already have an iPhone or Apple Watch, as Apple’s digital ecosystem is the best around.
In terms of the $279 price point, that applies to the 128GB iPad in silver, blue, pink, and yellow colorways. If you need more storage for some of the top picks from our guide to the best iPad games, with the likes of Honkai Star Rail and Hello Kitty Island Adventure taking up a fair bit of space, the 256GB model is also on sale, down from $449 to $379, or you can go all out on the 512GB version for $579. The choice is yours.
It’s worth reiterating that this is one of Amazon’s Black Friday deals, so if you want to guarantee the $70 saving, you need to put your order in before December 1. After that date, we expect the iPad to jump back up to its original price of $349, so there’s no time to waste.
