Apple devices rarely have deals on them and when they do, they aren’t normally huge. You aren’t ever likely to see 50 per cent off an iPad for example. Discounts on devices like iPads and Apple Watch models are very much welcomed when they do appear however, and we couldn’t be more thrilled than when we can say there is money off some Apple products. Thankfully, we are running into the Black Friday sales, where you’ll often find the best prices on Apple devices rather than just the occasional bit of money off AirPods or a deal on an iPhone model.
All Apple devices are worth buying and especially when they have a discount in our experience, so if you see a deal on an Apple device you have had your eye on, then we highly recommend snapping it up – and quickly too. Black Friday isn’t here just yet, but that doesn’t mean the deals aren’t. We’ve already found a number of deals on Apple devices in the run up to Black Friday, so if an Apple Watch has been on your wish list, or a pair of the excellent AirPods, you’re in luck.
Latest Apple Black Friday deals
Best Black Friday MacBook deals
With the move from the Intel chip to Apple’s M-series Silicon chips, the MacBook has only gotten better – and usually – pricier. Luckily, Black Friday makes price tags on these powerful machines more digestible.
Apple MacBook Air (15-inch, 2023)
$1049 $1299 Save $250
Making its debut earlier this year, the 15-inch MacBook Air is one of the best laptops we’ve reviewed. With a premium build quality, stunning design, and great battery life, this is a wonderful everyday computer worth the investment.
Apple
Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch (M3, 2023)
$2344 $2499 Save $155
The latest MacBook Pro features the Apple M3 chip with an 8-core CPU, 10-core GPU, and 16-core Neural Engine. Only coming out a few weeks ago during Apple’s surprise ‘Scary Fast’ event, it’s rare to see a laptop discounted this early, but Black Friday discounts are really showing up this year.
Best Black Friday AirPods deals
Apple’s wireless headphones have become iconic for their ‘love it or hate it’ design since they debuted in 2016. You’d struggle to walk down a street without seeing a pair in someone’s ears. The design, convenience and excellent features – not just at the top of the range either – mean these wireless headphones are in high demand, so Black Friday savings month is a great time to snag a pair on sale.
Apple
Apple AirPods 2
$99 $129 Save $30
The Apple AirPods (2nd Generation) don’t offer as many features as the 3rd Generation or the Pro models, but they are still very convenient for Apple users, offer decent sound performance and at under $70, there’s very little not to love.
Best Black Friday Apple Watch deals
Apple Watch has arguably made the smartwatch a staple accessory since its arrival in 2015 – tracking everything from time, sleep, fitness and heart health. The design hasn’t changed a great deal since the beginning in terms of the regular models, but the Watch Ultra models offer something a little different, and all models are extremely customizable with various watch band colors and styles.
Apple
Apple Watch Series 9
$349 $399 Save $50
The Apple Watch Series 9 is the latest smartwatch from Apple, alongside the Apple Watch Ultra 2 so seeing it with a discount is a very pleasant surprise. The Watch Series 9 comes in a number of color options and it has some great features like Double Tap. With $50 off, we’d snap this up as quickly as possible.
Apple
Apple Watch SE (2022)
$220 $249 Save $29
The Apple Watch SE is the entry point into Apple Watch and while it misses out on some features, it still delivers the majority and at a fantastic price – even at full price. With $40 off, this model is just over $200.
Apple
Apple Watch Series 8
$320 $399 Save $79
The Apple Watch Series 8 misses out on a couple of features compared to the newest Series 9 model, but they have the same design, great fitness and heart rate tracking and many of the same functions. With $130 off, this is a brilliant price for an Apple Watch.
Best Black Friday iPad deals
Throughout all of its iterations, the iPad remains dominant in our list of favorite tested tablets. They deliver plenty of power without compromising portability, and they are a great companion for workflow and creativity. With a couple of models on sale, November is a great time to buy an iPad at a discount.
Apple
Apple iPad Air (2022)
$559 $599 Save $40
The Apple iPad Air is the perfect combination of power and portability. There’s an M1 chip under the hood, uniformed bezels around the brilliant display and a single camera on the rear. It’s a cracking tablet, especially with $100 off certain colors.
Apple
Apple iPad (2022)
$399 $449 Save $50
The Apple iPad (10th Generation) is one of Apple’s best tablets. It offers a very similar design to the slightly more powerful iPad Air, but with a more useful front-facing camera position. There’s a light and portable build, some excellent color options and with $50 off, it’s under $400.
Apple
Apple iPad 9th Gen (2021)
$249 $329 Save $80
The iPad (9th Generation) is the cheapest way to get your hands on an Apple tablet. It offers an older design compared to the newer 10th generation but if you want a tablet for browsing the web and watching content, the 9th generation is more than capable. With $70 off, it’s a fantastic price.
Best Black Friday Apple accessory deals
Apple’s iPhone, Apple Watch, and iPad, are capable devices on their own, but even more so with the power of accessories. From a dual charger to keep them powered and ready to go, to an Apple Pencil to make your notes and creations come to life, there’s plenty out there to help you get the most from your Apple products.
Apple
Apple MagSafe Duo Charger
$98 $129 Save $31
The Apple MagSafe Duo allows you to charge your iPhone and Apple Watch or AirPods at the same time. It folds together so it’s super easy and portable, and it looks good too for a wireless charger. This is the lowest price we’ve seen it recently with over $30 off.
Apple
Apple Pencil (2nd Generation)
$89 $129 Save $40
Apple might have announced a newer and cheaper Apple Pencil (USB-C) but it doesn’t offer all the same features as the 2nd Generation model. This will magnetically attach to the side of your iPad Air or iPad Pro and charge, whilst also offering Apple Pencil Hover on the Pro models. At $40 off, it’s an excellent price.
What is the newest Apple Watch?
Apple announced a couple of new Watch models during its September event, though the designs didn’t change from the 2022 models, so you could very much be forgiven for not being able to figure out what the latest Apple Watch model is. The Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 are the newest Apple Watch models and both deliver a couple of extra features on top of their predecessors, including Double Tap.
It’s worth keeping in mind that you don’t necessarily need the latest Apple Watch models for most of the features that many will use however. This includes features like taking an ECG and measuring body temperature. The Apple Watch Series 8 and Watch Ultra will do both of these, for example, so it is worth looking out for deals on the older models during Black Friday too. We wouldn’t recommend going older than the Series 7 as otherwise you will lose support for watchOS updates sooner than your Watch might need replacing, but certainly don’t ignore the Watch Series 8 or Watch Ultra if they have a good price.
Are the new AirPods Pro worth it?
The new AirPods Pro 2nd Generation (USB-C) are very much worth buying, unless you have the AirPods Pro 2nd Generation from 2022. The update to USB-C is handy, especially if you have one of the newest iPhone 15 models as it means you only need to carry one cable around with you, but they also offer Precision Finding like the AirTags, which is particularly useful when you’ve misplaced them.
There’s also support for lossless audio between them and the Vision Pro, which will come in handy if you plan on buying Apple’s VR headset when it arrives in 2024. The new AirPods offer all the same features as the older AirPods Pro 2nd Generation too, so you get superb sound performance, excellent Active Noise Cancellation, the ability to mute yourself on calls and a great feature called Conversation Awareness mode, which sees the AirPods reduce your audio volume automatically when conversation is detected.
Is Black Friday or Cyber Monday a better time to buy AirPods?
There are three AirPods models that typically drop in price during sales periods. The prices they drop to typically don’t vary too much either. For example, the AirPods 2nd Generation don’t usually drop below $89, while the AirPods Pro 3rd Generation usually hover around the $139 to $149 mark during sales periods. We would recommend buying any Apple deals you see on Black Friday rather than waiting for Cyber Monday. This is mainly because if the stock runs out, that will be it for that deal.
The only exception to this would be if you check a site like CamelCamelCamel and the AirPods model you are looking at isn’t a lower price on Black Friday than it was at the beginning of November, for example. If that’s the case, we recommend chancing it and waiting for Cyber Monday in case any special deals appear. In theory, the price should be the same as Black Friday if it hasn’t dropped for Black Friday, so you lose nothing by waiting – unless, of course, they go out of stock.
