Today's best iPad deals offer early holiday discounts on Apple's premium tablets. If you're in the market for an iPad for yourself or someone special, this is your season to buy.

Black Friday is approaching fast and we expect to see the best end-of-year discounts on all things Apple. And while we expect next month's Black Friday iPad deals to be aggressive, there are plenty of early discounts available right now.

From entry to pro, Apple's family of tablets offer something for everyone. The newly released 2022 10.9-inch iPad with Apple A14 chip alongside 11-inch and 12-inch iPad Pro M2 tablets arrive just in time for the holidays and join the 10.9 inch iPad Air, 8.3 inch iPad mini. That said, we expect to see steep price cuts on previous-gen 10.2 inch iPad and 11 inch and 12.9 inch iPad Pro devices.

Sure, pricing for Wi-Fi-only iPads range from $329 — $1,000, but who likes those prices? Our handy roundup of the best iPad deals will help you save money and precious time.

So if you want to beat inflation sooner than later, here today's best iPad deals you can get before Black Friday.
