As we edge closer to Black Friday 2019, Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy and B&H Photo continue to do battle, ratcheting up even further the already-stiff competition on Black Friday iPad prices. Right now, Best Buy has the best deal we’ve seen on the 256GB version of Apple’s most deluxe tablet — $950 for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro — and the lowest price on the 11-inch model, too. But you need to be a member of the retailer’s My Best Buy rewards program, the basic tier of which is free, to take advantage of these prices.
Otherwise, B&H Photo still has the best price on the brand-new 10.2-inch iPad — which is very similar to last year’s 9.7-inch model — at $299. And Walmart is still at it with its own discount on last year’s 9.7-inch iPad, with the 128GB model selling for $299.

The deals on the newer iPad Mini and iPad Air are still pretty negligible. We’d recommend waiting for the next round of discounts to come through before buying either one of them.
Note that we’re focused on the Wi-Fi versions of the iPad here. Using LTE on a tablet is cool but, for most people, not worth the additional cost — for the device and the monthly service — especially when you can easily tether your phone for free.

Last week, Best Buy had the best price we’d seen on the 64GB model, with a $300 discount. That deal is gone — but the company is now offering $200 off the step-up 256GB model (and the 512GB and 1TB versions, too). Note that you need to be a member of Best Buy’s My Best Buy reward program to see the sale prices.

Best Buy comes within $1 of the all-time lowest price we’ve seen for the 11-inch 64GB iPad Pro, $650. And the 256GB model is also on sale for $800. Note that you need to be a member of the retailer’s My Best Buy program to get this sale price.

Though this model briefly dipped to $250, B&H and Amazon are now selling it for $299. The brand-new 10.2-inch iPad has a larger screen and more Pro-level features than its predecessor. Amazon also has the 128GB model on sale for $400.

Walmart has a nice discount on the 128GB model. It costs as much as the 32GB version of the new 10.2-inch model, which just isn’t that different from the 2018 version. Basically, you’re getting four times the storage for free.
Alternately, you can snag the cellular-enabled 32GB version of this iPad for $299, though, as always, you need to supply the data service.

The smallest model in the current iPad lineup comes with the smallest discount. You can find the iPad Mini at most retailers for $384 — that’s $15 off the Apple Store list price.
