"Black Friday is the perfect time to buy an Apple device. While the is the best value right now, there are plenty of attractive discounts on iPads. My personal favorite is the iPad Mini for use cases like browsing and reading, but I've been using the M3 iPad Air more, especially since the iPadOS 26 update. I've had the 13-inch variant since launch, and it is now the best value-for-money iPad for both power and casual users."
"Not all iPad screens are created equal. You need to make sure you purchase aligns with your use case. Many might opt for a 13-inch iPad, thinking it would offer a bigger screen for videos, but that's not true. The 13-inch iPad Air features a 4:3 aspect ratio, whereas the 11-inch model has a 16:11 screen. So, the two added inches on the bigger iPads don't directly translate to a better movie-watching experience."
Black Friday deals lower prices on M3 iPad Air models and accessories, making the tablets stronger value buys. The 11-inch M3 iPad Air is discounted to $449 from $599, and its Magic Keyboard is $230 after a 15% discount, bringing the combo to $679. The 13-inch iPad Air is discounted to $649 from $799, with its Magic Keyboard at $300, making the combo $949. The Apple Pencil is discounted to $99 from $129. The 13-inch uses a 4:3 aspect ratio while the 11-inch uses 16:11, so larger diagonal size does not necessarily improve movie-watching. The iPad Mini fits browsing and reading use cases, while the M3 iPad Air balances power and value.
