iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3 Black Friday deals were announced as Thanksgiving Day inches closer. Thanksgiving Day signals the start of the holiday season. 

Retailers predict that Apple tablets will sell well and consumers are just waiting for the discounts and price cuts of the devices. The latest model of iPad Air boasts a 9.7-inch screen display, A8X 64-bit processor, Adreno 420, iOS 8, and 8 MP back camera. Meanwhile, the iPad Mini 3 comes with the A7X processor, iOS 8, and 5 MP rear shooter. 

Below are the top retailers that offer Black Friday deals where one can buy the iPad Air 2 and iPad Mini 3 as well as the older versions of the tablets. 

Target 

Target offers a great deal for the new iPad Air 2. The tablet originally costs $499, but the retailer gives a $140 Target GiftCard that will bring down the price to $359. The latest iPad Mini 3 receives $100 discount and will cost $299. 

The retailer will also offer the original iPad Mini for $249 but will throw in a free $80 gift card knocking the price down to $169, while the second generation of iPad Mini costs $299 with $100 gift card bringing the price tag down to $199. 

Walmart 

As of the moment, Walmart will offer the 16 GB WiFi only variant of the iPad Mini for $199 with a $30 Walmart Gift Card. The retailer must have thought that consumers will buy iPads and offered them in a bundle with other devices for a lesser price. 

Best Buy 

A lot of consumers will gun for the iPad Air 2, and Best Buy slashed $100 off the price of the tablet. However, the retailer has a catch for this. The offer will be available from 5 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day until 1 a.m. on Friday. This means that it will kick off the demand. Meanwhile, the 16 GB iPad Mini 3 will cost $324.99, slashing $75 off the price, with the offer running through Nov. 29.
