The Cyber Monday iPad deals are happening right now, even before the big day itself happens - and big discounts on the iPad Pro, iPad Air and iPad mini are still discounted. Expect to see more deals on the new iPad models over the next few days.

We've got a huge iPad section in our Cyber Monday deals roundups - they're proving pretty popular as our readers try and grab a deal for themselves or an excellent Christmas present.

Look, we've been going for absolutely weeks, looking for all the best deals, monitoring what's happening, finding the top choices during Black Friday - we're exhausted, sleep-deprived and running on pure caffeine now. 

And yet... and yet... we're still sniffing out the best iPad Cyber Monday deals. So if you support our inexplicable attempts to do all the dirty work for you - be sure to bookmark this page or leave it autorefreshing to ensure you see all the latest iPad deals.

OK, we've spent the 72 hours over Black Friday looking for the best Cyber Monday iPad deals, and - we have to be honest - the deals are drying up a little bit as we approach the actual day itself.

That said, it's not all terrible. There are some deals available above, but in the main we're not seeing the same sales that appeared on Black Friday.

Fear not though, dear reader. There's still a load of stuff that you can do to prep, the best iPad Pro deal we saw during Black Friday is still going, and... don't forget, we like talking to you.

iPad Pro 12.9-inch Magic Keyboard

OK, iPad lovers - here's the best deal you're going to find right now: the iPad Pro for $100 at Amazon (if you're in the US).

It's for the iPad Pro 12.9 - an exceptional model, and the one that I love the most for the larger-screened experience it brings.

It's down from $1099 to $999, which is only 9% off, but a decent saving for something that we rate as a tablet... the screen alone is to die for.

If you want to go up in the sizes, you can get the 1TB version for $1699, which is another $100 off but is a smaller saving.

If you're going to buy that iPad Pro deal, then you should be thinking about getting an Apple Pencil as well - it's going to have a real use, and the second-gen model, magnetically sitting on the flat edge of the tablet itself - and it's $99, which is $30 off. 23%? Yes.

Look, I know it's expensive for a stylus, and there are good Apple Pencil alternatives... but if you want the full iPad Pro experience, it's a good investment.

And the final piece of the iPad Pro jigsaw: the Magic Keyboard, which genuinely makes the iPad Pro 12.9 into more of a computer.*

Right now, I've found a couple of deals in the US: Walmart has it for $298, which is just over $50 off. However, Best Buy has it on sale for $199, but it looks like stock is severely limited.

In the UK, John Lewis is your pal, bringing the keyboard out for £164.50, which is a real steal. It says 'reduced to clear', which is an odd thing to say for an on-sale Apple product.

*MORE of a computer, not into a fully-fledged PC rival. Apple likes to say that it's as good, but there are a lot of small niggles in terms of the compatability of some browsers and the user interface - as well as the app experience - that mean it's better for entertainment and smaller, more powerful editing tasks.
