iPad Black Friday deals all year long

Updated Nov 24, 2022 - Did you know it's possible to shop the best iPad Black Friday deals of 2022 all year long? Here's how to get the lowest price on an iPad mini, iPad Air, iPad Pro, or any other iPad model whether it's Black Friday or not.

Where can you find cheap iPad deals?

If you're looking for a cheap iPad, it might seem like Black Friday sales are the best way to get a good deal. Lots of stores advertise special offers and discounts for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. But frankly, most Black Friday iPad deals aren't really the best bargains.

For the lowest prices, shop refurbished iPads instead. Not only can you find all the different iPad models at great prices, you'll be shopping more sustainably because refurbished electronics have a smaller impact on the planet than new electronics. Bonus: you can skip the frenzy of Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping with these year-round iPad deals! 💡

Is it worth buying an iPad on Black Friday?

Before you invest in an iPad on Black Friday, make sure it's what you truly want. Apple's tablets combine the benefits of a smartphone and a computer, so an iPad is ideal for reading, watching movies and videos, or playing games on the go. Equipped with top-of-the-line displays and a sleek design, iPads are a literal treat for the eyes. However, they usually also come with a high-end price tag (that's where Back Market comes to the rescue).

If you have your heart set on an iPad, there's no pressure to buy one on Black Friday or Cyber Monday since we offer low prices on expertly refurbished iPads all year long.

If you want to go the extra mile for savings, set up a price alert in the Back Market app. When the price drops on your favorite items, you'll get a notification on your phone. 💰

The best iPad deals on Black Friday 2022

Outside of iPad deals on our market place, we expect a lot of the same type of iPad "sales" seen in previous years on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Oftentimes the advertised Holiday prices on new iPads are marginally discounted between 10-20% on retail price. For example, in 2021, you could find a 2TB 11-Inch iPad Pro for $1,648.99 on Amazon, which was only $250 off at the time or a 15% discount. If you were looking for an 64GB iPad mini 6, you could get it for $629.98, which was $19 off or a mere 3% discount.

Alternatively, Back Market offers the best iPad deals every day of the year with average discounts of 30 to 40% off compared to the price of new. Shop with confidence because you'll be getting the exact model you want at a fraction of the cost of new, whether it's Black Friday or not. Every device is refurbished by certified professionals and comes with a 12-month warranty and 30 days to change your mind.

Which iPad is best for me?

You might be looking for the best iPad deal this Holiday season, but when you shop with Back Market, you'll see that every iPad we sell is a great deal! So instead of shopping the best price, you can actually start worrying about which iPad model best fits your lifestyle. For example, the 9th generation Apple iPad with a 10.2 inch screen is widely considered to be the best all around-tablet for the average user. The iPad Mini 6th gen is great for note-taking and creative portable work, making it more suitable for students.

Here's a quick breakdown of each iPad model series to help you with your decision:

iPad

The standard iPad sometimes gets pushed to the side. Did you know that Apple actually sells 5 different types of iPads?! Don't get hung up on special names like Air, Mini, or Pro. A lot of people do just fine with the standard iPad, which is a powerful personal device for streaming, gaming, social media and work tools.  

iPad Air

If you're looking for a boost in processing speed the iPad Air series is a good step up from the standard model. The iPad Air 4 and most recent iPad Air 5 models are highly praised for their processing power. In fact, the 5th-generation iPad Air actually has the same M1 processor used in the iPad Pro sereis and even popular Mac computer models.

iPad Mini

If you're more interested in having the most portability and simultaneously saving a few dollars, then the iPad Mini might be your best option. You might be able to find a few deals on the most recent iPad Mini 6 model, but rest assured, the older generations are still just as small and powerful where you should find even greater savings and a larger selection of stock. 

iPad Pro

As the name suggests, the iPad Pro is a true pro! An excellent processor, a large screen with crystal clear resolution and an integrated graphics card makes it ideal for both work and play. Need we say more?

Well, on recent models, there's Apple's operating system specifically for iPads called iPadOS. It features an interface that is perfectly designed for the brand's tablets. An iPad Pro is a top-of-the-line Apple device that comes with a rather high price, so it's understandable why many shoppers seek out iPad Pro Black Friday deals. With refurbished devices though, you're not pressed for time because even if you oversleep on Black Friday, you'll find the same exact deals anytime you shop on Back Market.
