What kind of deals can we get expect for Black Friday for the iPad mini? Also, which store usually has the best Black Friday deals for iPads?
 
We can expect for some deals on the minis

I know Target has been pretty good with their Apple deals on black Friday.

My best bet would be to constantly check Best Buy for their usual pre Black Friday sales
They match the prices they would put on shelf on Black Friday You just gotta catch the promos

There's a competing Mini thread talking about returning them. So, do we love the Mini or not really? Is the smaller form factor and display the cause of contention?

I really really like mine. I only had 9.7" iPads for the six years prior which felt so right for content, but I still found I'd get sick of propping it up, etc. So sick in fact I sold my Air 2 last year and have had no iPad for a year until buying this mini two weeks ago. This is much more handling friendly and the screen size is perfectly fine for hours of content consumption. No problems with the size for videos, and no problems reading forums in portrait for hours.

I'm a mini convert.

That's great to hear and encouraging as I prepare to set up my new Mini 5. I may become a complete Mini convert as well. I also like the fact that the Mini 5 has many of the advanced display features of the Pro line, along with the powerful A12 processor. An added benefit for me is free complete access to the MS Office suite in keeping under the 10.1" display size limit.

Love mine it's brilliant, only got it yesterday but it's the best iPad for reading on in portrait, got it on sale for $98AUD off here. I have a 11" pro too not sure what to do with it yet.
As much as i love FID on my iPhone 11 pro i don't on my 11" iPad, on a desk you have to move close or in bed/dark just doesn't work as good, so the home button and some bezel is better IMO, the FID as been annoying me since i got it but wouldn't of said that about the bezel a few days ago.
