Black Friday iPad deals continue to offer discounts of up to $600 off Apple's latest and previous-gen tablets —weeks before Black Friday 2024. Although we usually expect to see the best end-of-year deals on iPads on the actual day, early price cuts prove otherwise.

Normally I'd recommend waiting until Black Friday, however, select iPads are currently at their lowest price ever.

For example, you can get the latest iPad Air M2 for $499 ($100 off) at Amazon. The 6th generation iPad Air features a 13-inch Liquid Retina display. Apple M2 Chip, and 128GB of storage. Get the most out of your iPad with an optional Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil USB-C, and Magic Keyboard.

At $100 off, the iPad Air M2 is at its best price yet, making it one of the best Black Friday iPad deals you don't have to wait to get.

Plus, with Amazon backing its early discounts with extended returns through Jan 15, 2025, you can shop with confidence. So if you want to treat someone special, yourself included to an iPad, it's not too early to save.

Black Friday 2024 is on Nov. 29 and we're tracking the best deals on iPads and other wished-for holiday tech. Visit our Black Friday Apple deals hub and Black Friday deals list for more early discounts. Here are the best early Black Friday iPad deals to shop now:
