In addition to a deal on AirPods Pro 2, today we're also seeing Black Friday prices return for both the 2022 iPad and iPad Air. You'll find all of these sales on Amazon and a few are matched at Best Buy.
iPad (2022)
Starting with Apple's new 10.9-inch iPad, you can get the 64GB Wi-Fi model for $399.00 in all four colors, down from $449.00. This was a sale that became super rare over Black Friday and only B&H Photo had it for a short time.

Base model almost always get the most love. Sadly i have way too much data to make 64GB even remotely an option nowadays. (Three games and there it goes).
