Apple's iPad 11 is my favorite streaming device, and this early Black Friday sale with a free Apple TV bonus makes it a steal
An iPad sale and a free Apple TV perk? The deal is here
Now that early Black Friday deals are flooding in, it's time to grab some major discounts on the best devices around. And if you're in the market for an all-new tablet, put this iPad 11 deal at the top of your wishlist.
The iPad (11th Gen) is now $50 off at Best Buy, and this deal offers two months of Apple TV for free. Not only is that price cut included on all colors and storage models, but you'll also save on one of the best streaming services for original content. In fact, you can keep an extra $24 in your pocket while binging your way through "Severance," "Slow Horses," "Ted Lasso" and plenty more.
After using Apple's iPad 11 over the past few months, it's become my go-to device for watching the latest shows, scrolling through websites and even some gaming. Now, one of the best iPads just got a hefty discount, and it's made even better with this Apple TV bonus for binge-watchers.
Apple's latest iPad (11th Gen) can just about do it all thanks to its upgraded A16 chip, larger 128GB base storage and longer battery at over 11 hours (it even beats the iPad Air M3 and iPad mini 7). In my 4-star iPad 11 review, I called it the Apple tablet for most, as it's a great device for watching shows. Now, with this $50 discount and two months of Apple TV included, it's a tablet that's hard to ignore.
Price check: was $349 now $299 @ Amazon
The iPad 11 is also on sale in the U.K.! And it's back down to its lowest price yet at Amazon. Don't expect any Apple TV perks here, but do expect a great discount on all colors and storage models.
Your personal streaming device (and more)
Apple's entry-level tablet may not have the sheer performance of the iPad Air M3 or iPad Pro M5, but I've quickly found that it has more than enough power for what a tablet is best at: being a personal device for streaming shows, checking out websites and more in a lightweight, portable design.
In my iPad 11 review, I named it the ideal Apple tablet for most, and that's thanks to its speedy A16 chip performance, upgraded 128GB storage and extended battery life at 11 hours and 25 minutes that even outmatches its siblings (except for the iPad Pro).
But what I adore most is its sleek, slim and lightweight portability, making it easy to take around with me from room to room, and slip into a bag when traveling. That means I could watch a movie like "The Lost Bus" while cooking up a storm in the kitchen, or throw on "The Gorge" while kicking back on the couch.
With its 11-inch Liquid Retina (2360 x 1640) display, you can expect crisp, clear imagery and vivid colors to boot, making blockbuster movies and shows on any platform pop with detail and color. I did find the screen to be hard to see in bright settings, like outdoors or next to a window, but when around the house, this isn't a problem.
We've seen the iPad 11 for less, but only by $20. And with Apple TV (at $12.99 per month) free for two months, you'll get plenty of time to watch some of the best shows that came out this year without paying extra. And there's some seriously good content on there.
Along with iPadOS 26 on board, and improved performance that makes multitasking and playing games like Destiny: Rising a breeze, the iPad 11 shines as the tablet for most people. For under $300, Apple's most affordable tablet is worth putting on your radar.
There's even more major discounts to snap up, so for all things Black Friday 2025, we've got you covered.
