Should I Wait for Better Prices on Black Friday?
Black Friday is the best opportunity to score some great deals on electronics, and Apple devices are no exception. You might be wondering just how low these prices can go. If you're interested specifically in the Apple iPad Mini, I believe this will be the lowest price. There's even a chance that this deal will sell out and not return. However, if you're not yet sure which iPad to get, there will be more deals on other models by the time Black Friday is upon us. I'll add any new iPad deals to this list as I find them.
