Both iPads are WiFi only base models, 64gb iPad Pro and 32gb iPad.

I bought my iPad Pro 10.5 for $525 at Best Buy sale two weeks ago. I guess BB had an early BF in October.

That iPhone SE though... Never heard of total wireless, but I wonder if they will have a sale on unlocked ones. I would love to pick up a new one.

I have not seen any unlocked SE's for those low prices. Whether it is Total Wireless, BoostMobile, or VirginMobile, the ultra low priced SE's are locked to their respective carrier. I've got mine on BoostMobile. (they make a great iPod Touch Pro) ;)
 
Best Buy just had a deal finish for $125 off the iPad Pro 10.5 64 GB WIFI only; I snagged one this past weekend after returning it way back in June. I figured that was a nice sale and with the sale I got on the iPad Mini 4 ( I paid only $130 after a gift card plus $100 off back in July) I have paid about $650 total for both a 10.5 inch and the mini.

FYI Note, I found one open box 10.5 inch at BB for $445 but there was a giant scratch on the screen. Seriously don't know why you'd fork down that money for that huge scratch unless the person really didn't care at all about the screen condition :).

What's screen replacement cost on an iPad? $100? If you can get it more than $100 off retail, then it might be worth it...
 
Good stuff. Sometimes I wish I would have waited, but then again it was worth getting it early.

Now I’m waiting on an Apple Pencil deal... Any news on those?

For a 10.5” iPad Pro, it’s $449! That’s why this is the first iPad I’ve gotten AppleCare+ on
 
10.5..."Sigh", still waiting for a special price on the new 12.9.
That was a few weeks ago when it was $549 (64GB) when bundled with the Pencil (total was $649) at Best Buy. But you were able to return the Pencil and get the iPad for $549.

Yeah, I heard about that deal a few days after, when it was too late. Now Best Buy is seeling it for $699 today: I wonder if I shouldn't wait, maybe next week Best Buy might propose the $549 deal again...I usually don't follow Black Friday deals, so I don't really know what might happen.
 
I've been wanting to purchase an iPad for my dad for the last couple of months. Looks like they may dip into my price range this thanksgiving.
Just had my brother-in-law order me an iPad from the military site mentioned in another thread. Saved $50 + tax over Target's Black Friday price. My dad is going to enjoy it.
 
Will they price match even if I’m 300 miles from a Micro Center? I’m looking to get a new iPad Pro but the closest micro center is in Atlanta.

According to Best Buy price match policy:

“What is considered a local retail competitor?
- A local retail competitor for retail store purchases is a retail store authorized by a vendor to sell a new, factory-sealed product with a warranty and is located in the same market area (within a 25-mile radius) of your local Best Buy store. “

They won't price match in that case, but, nothing is stopping you from saying that you are in Atlanta for a couple of days. :) It's worth a try. The way this works, you place an order, provide the order number to the agent you are chatting with, and he/she will credit the difference. Just say that you are in Atlanta, get the rep to agree to pricematch, place your order for shipping, and if they say "no" afterwards, just return it unopened when you receive it.

That's what I thought. I guess I can wait until Black Friday and hope to find one in stock for $150 off. I think Best Buy is discounting all models by $150, and I'd like the 64gb Cellular model. I just sold off my 32GB iPad 9.7 inch so I can be iPad-less for a week.

It seems though that either BB's online inventory isn't working or that no BB's have any iPad stock in my area which is concerning.
 
How high do we think the discount for iPads will get this Black Friday? Do we think it will go higher to 300 or 350 on some models? What about Adorma and B&H?

I bought my Air2 at Best Buy two years ago during their Black Friday sale. Their BF deals were the same whether you shopped in-store or online. And so, at 12 midnight on Black Friday, I placed an online order for the Air2. I remember their website was so busy that it kept kicking me out, but I kept clicking on Submit Order. Then after several tries, my order finally went through.
