The iPad Mini has gotten a rough deal in the life cycle of its product line. As both iPhone and iPads get bigger, a shrunk down version of Apple’s tablet was always going to get caught in the crossfire.

Black Friday iPad deals to expect in 2019
The most expensive (but also potentially the most lucrative) Black Friday iPad deals this year will go to the iPad Pro model. The 11 – inch and 12 .9-inch com puting powerhouses have threatened the laptop market since their release last year, but the lack of a 2019 installment in the product line means Apple may not be too quick to discount their elite model.
On the other hand, if they are indeed planning on announcing a new iPad Pro next Spring, retailers may be keen to shift stock of the earlier 2018 model.
Last year we saw Black Friday iPad Pro deals offer $ 50 off the listing price, but these models have been out in the wild for a year now so we may well see bigger savings in 2019.
We’re already seeing the same models with $ 100 discounts in pre-Black Friday sales, so whichever way the shopping season goes, we’re confident we’ll see some discounts on iPad Pro models from retailers like Walmart, Amazon, and Best Buy.
Similarly, we’re also starting to see prices fall on iPad Air and Mini models. Black Friday iPad deals offering $ 20 – $ 40 off these newer releases are already starting to come through, so bagging a cheap iPad this November is looking likelier with every passing sale.
Plus, with the Pro, Air, and Mini models each offering a unique selling point to different types of consumers, Apple or its retailers will also be keen to discount their flagship iPad 2019 model as a catch-all for straggling decision-makers. It’s this model that may well see the cheapest price over the November weekend.
Which Black Friday iPad deal should I buy?
2019 saw three new models enter the marketplace, though left the Pro back in 2018. The 2019 iPad Air, Mini , and flagship iPad model will all see their first Black Friday this year, which means they’ll see some discounts, but potentially not as much as the higher end 2018 iPad Pro.
We’ve seen strong indicators from the likes of Amazon Prime Day and various ad hoc retailer sales throughout the year that iPad Pro models are losing their shelf value stability in their second year of life, so Black Friday is likely to be an excellent time for those looking to pick up a high-end tablet.
Whatever model you’re looking for,Black Fridayis always a good time to be on the hunt for an iPad. With prices already seeming particularly volatile in the lead up to the big shopping weekend, we’re confident there are big savings to be had this month.
How to get the best Black Friday iPad deals
In general, it’s best to avoid the Apple store’s Black Friday iPad deals. The iPad Pro is still their only elite model out, despite being a year old, and its siblings are barely out of the box with their 2019 releases. Apple will therefore likely offer the same kind of sales as they historically have done; bundle offers with software gift cards.
You’ll be better off keeping an eye on Amazon, Walmart , and Best Buy for cold hard Black Friday iPad deals. While the iPad Mini, Air, and flagship 2019 model will see discounts across the board, it’s the higher-end 2018 iPad Pro models that will likely see the most money off this Black Friday.
