You can find deals on almost all iPad models this Black Friday, but you’ll find many stores only offering the 16GB model. There will not be many iPad deals on LTE models, unless carriers surprise us with bigger than normal discounts on these connected options. Any carrier iPad Black Friday deals will likely come with a two-year contract.
The Walmart Black Friday ad shows an iPad mini for $199 and includes a $30 gift card as part of the Walmart 1 Hour Guarantee deals. This is an in store only offer that allows shoppers who are lined up in the right area between 6-7PM on Thanksgiving day to buy the iPad mini at this price.
