Everyone knows that some of the best Black Friday gadget deals involve Apple products. Over the years, smart shoppers were able to save tons of money by availing products from the Cupertino-based company during this annual festivity. But to get the most out of the Black Friday deals, shoppers are advised to get their Apple devices from retail stores rather than from the Apple store itself, because the latter offers fewer discounts on their products. 

Since one of the most sought-after Apple products is the iPad line, more retailers are offering amazing deals to lure people to make the purchase from their establishment.  Here are the best iPad deals for Black Friday 2014: 

Best Buy 

Starting at 5 p.m. on Thursday, the nationwide retail store will offer the iPad Air 2 at a fair discount, taking off less than $100 from the regular retail price. The retail shop will also cut down $75 from the iPad mini 3, and offer discounted deals on iPad cases, keyboards, as well as other iPad accessories. 

Target 

The retail store's Black Friday deal will start an hour later than Best Buy, but it will also feature amazing iPad deals this year. The 16 GB iPad Air 2 model with Wi-Fi can be purchased for only $499, and it will include a $140 gift card. The 16 GB iPad Air, on the other hand, can be purchased for just $399 and it comes with a $100 gift card. Their 16 GB variant of iPad Mini 2 will be sold for $299, including a $100 gift card. 

Walmart 

The nationwide retail shop will offer the 16 GB iPad Air 2 for just $497, but it comes with a $100 gift card that can be used to purchase right away. Other iPad deals are also offered during the Walmart Black Friday shopping festival. 

Apple Store 

The company's own retail shop has provided the price list for their iPad products, including the iPad Air 2 that sells for $499.  The iPad Air sells for $399, the iPad mini 3 can be purchased for $399, the iPad mini 2 has a $299 price, and the last-gen iPad mini sells for $249. All these products come with a $50 iTunes Gift Card.
