Notoriously premium for most of the year, but the Black Friday Apple deals mark the best time to pick up one of the Cupertino company’s excellent devices. We’re keeping busy rounding up the very best Black Friday deals across a wide range of categories, and Apple discounts are often among the key highlights and prove to be right up there in the sales charts as the most popular picks in the year’s biggest sale.
AirPods 3 and AriPods Pro 2 are bound to be huge hits and are already discounted at most stores, and treating yourself to a MacBook at this time of year is significantly easier on your bank balance. You can really lean into the whole Apple ecosystem as various Apple Watches, Apple TV boxes, and iPads also feature.
We won’t just be looking for Black Friday Apple deals on the latest devices, though, as some of the best value picks are found on previous-generation models. The M1 MacBook Air is a regular show-stopper, for example. Take a look at the best early deals we’ve seen so far, and stay tuned as we’ll be updating this page throughout the big event, which officially starts on November 24.

What Apple deals can you expect on Black Friday?
Like last year, you’ll find deals on most of Apple’s devices this Black Friday. That includes deals on AirPods, iPads, MacBooks, Apple Watches, and maybe on Apple TV boxes and accessories like the Apple Pencil.
With no new iPads landing recently, this is an excellent opportunity to get big discounts on last year’s models. So, if you’ve been thinking of picking up a base model or the Air or Pro versions, this will be a great opportunity. The iPad Mini doesn’t feature in many sales, but it generally shows up to the deals party for Black Fridays.
However, we have already seen deals for devices released in September, like the Apple Watch Series 9 and the new USB-C version of the AirPods Pro 2. And Apple devices released just weeks ago, like the M3 MacBook Pro, are getting discounts already.
Slightly older models like the M2 MacBook Air (the M3 version is expected to land next year) and M2 MacBook Pros are likely to get the very best deals, and these are still awesome laptops and more than enough for the vast majority of users.
Apple’s iPhones don’t typically get deals if you’re looking to buy an iPhone outright, but you’ll find the usual tempting trade-in and activation offers from carriers and retailers, which we’ll highlight above once they’re live.
Where are the best places to find Apple deals?
You’ll find the best competitive Apple deals from retailers like Amazon, B&H Photo, Best Buy, and Walmart. We’ll call out the best ones above to save you the hassle of shopping around.
Looking for Apple deals on Apple’s website will be mostly fruitless, as the company itself rarely hosts a deal for its products. They sometimes give gift cards with Apple products. These cards will have to be spent at the Apple store, and given that they don’t discount their hardware, and other retailers usually do, the gift card amount might not save you as much money as shopping elsewhere would overall.
