Black Friday 2023 is shaping up to be a great time for Black Friday tablet deals. Retailers currently offer never-before-seen discounts on iPads, Galaxy Tabs, Surface tablets, Fire tablets, and more. 

Right now, you can get the Apple iPad 10 for $349 at Amazon. That's $100 off its previous price of $449 and its lowest price ever on Amazon.
