iPads?

Hi

I'm looking to buy 2 iPads 10.2 for my children.

Does anyone know if there will be any deals on this year? Black Friday? Whether they'll be out of stock? Hard to get hold of?
I'm debating buying both now, or leave it a month and see if there is any reductions.
I know it's hard to predict, just wondering if anyone has been in a similar position other christmases and what they'd advise!

Thanks in advance!

iPad rarely reduce - they tend to offer free extras instead - like £10 voucher for x

If you go one the apple store website - go to the bottom and press shop - there’s a section for iPads at a discount - always worth a look. If you have a friend in education you can get 20% discount - worth asking round.

I'm sure there will be plenty available, although if they are for kids I would go second hand or refurbished.

As the pp said you rarely get reductions on iPads . I always get ours in John Lewis

I managed to get 3 iPads via very.While they had a code for £100 credited to account if buy now pay later. They were also on a small sale.

I'll wait for the credit then pay them all off works out 3 iPads cost us around the £500 mark.

I managed to do the same last year with a iPad Air and pencil which ended up costing us £600

How old are the kids? CEX is great, I'm not trusting mine with full price new iPads yet

I'll have a look at that one!

My daughter is nearly 9, she uses my iPad and apple
pencil a lot so thought of getting the 10.2 iPad and a pen - not the apple one!

My son likes to play minecraft and FaceTime with his friends whilst playing though.. not sure you can FaceTime an iPad from a Samsung?

I'll have to do some research I think! Thanks for your replies.
