It's that time again, folks: Black Friday sales are live. Lots of Apple gadgets are on sale for record-low prices this week, including all current- and recent-gen iPads. But to be honest, the iPad deals are kind of lame. Sure, most models are down to their lowest prices, but we were hoping for even bigger discounts.

Shoppers can save anywhere from $50 to $200 on Apple tablets across major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target. (The Apple Store itself is just giving away free gift cards with eligible Black Friday purchases, so it's pretty skippable.)

Below, we've rounded up the absolute best Black Friday iPad deals available right now. Deals are maxing out at 25% off and the basic iPad is the best deal at the moment, going for $274. We'll continue to monitor their availability and add new picks if/when they pop up as Cyber Weekend continues, so check back often.

Why we like it

This Black Friday, we would have loved to see a sub $250 iPad, but alas, we'll take a $274 iPad instead.

Our favorite budget iPad is now more affordable than ever: Amazon and Walmart have the 128GB base model on sale for just $274, or $75 off. (It's 99 cents pricier at Target but Best Buy finally matched its price.) The 11-inch tablet comes with a peppy A16 chip, Touch ID, and 12MP front and rear cameras. "[It's] great for someone who wants a portable screen for streaming, playing games, and reading," according to our reviewer. If you bundle it with an also-on-sale USB-C Apple Pencil or first-gen Apple Pencil, it's still cheaper than any iPad Air or Pro.

Why we like it

Now that the M5 chip has arrived, the 13-inch M4 iPad Pro is no longer the shiniest new model on the market — but that doesn't mean much in the era of iterative upgrades. When our reviewer tested it last year, she said it "blew us away with its power efficiency, striking display, and breakneck performance." It's overkill for most people, but great for professional artists and creatives. While most of this week's Black Friday iPad discounts top off around $50 to $100, this M4 iPad Pro's 256GB base model is chilling at $200 off. It's $100 cheaper than its M5 equivalent.
