The Best Apple Deals Available Now

You don’t have to wait for Black Friday to take advantage of these deals. They’re already live.

AirPods Black Friday Deals

Of all the Apple products, the most popular with our readers by far are AirPods. These wireless earbuds work seamlessly with Apple devices, and work just like any old Bluetooth headphones with non-Apple devices. You can pretty much always find them on sale, including right now: AirPods Pro are on sale for $199.99 at Amazon and Walmart, a big price cut off the $250 MSRP. That matches last year’s Black Friday deal.

The non-Pro AirPods models don’t offer active noise cancelation or other high-tech featuers of the Pros. But they’re way more affordable, and Walmart currently has them on sale for $69, the lowest price we’ve ever seen.

Apple Watch Black Friday Deals

You can count on some great Apple Watch deals this Black Friday — though you’ll find the very best deals on older models. Last year, for instance, you could get a first-gen Apple Watch SE on sale for just $129. That’s a great price, but it was on an older model of the most basic Apple Watch on the market.

However, even the Apple Watch Series 8, the most recent Apple Watch model during last year’s Black Friday sale, got a price cut. You could pick one up for as low as $329, down from an MSRP of $399. You can probably expect to see similar discounts on the most recent model, Apple Watch Series 9.

iPad Black Friday Deals

Apple’s iPad lineup is somewhat daunting. It starts with the base model, which is the 9th generation one from 2021. Then there’s the iPad Mini, the 10th generation iPad, the iPad Air, and two sizes of iPad Pro, all with increasing price points. For help deciding which to get, check out our roundup of the best iPad models available. Thankfully, whichever one you choose, you can almost always find iPad deals — including some Black Friday iPad deals happening now.

iPhone Black Friday Deals

There are always plenty of iPhone deals available at various retailers and carriers for Black Friday. You can absolutely expect to find discounts or other enticements for picking up a brand-new iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Pro.

For an idea of what to expect, we can look at last year’s sale. Last year, Verizon offered a free iPhone 14 Pro if you traded in your old phone and signed up for one of the carrier’s 5G unlimited plans. Walmart gave away a $300 gift card to anyone who bought an iPhone 14 and activated it on Verizon or AT&T.

MacBook Black Friday Deals

A variety of MacBook Air and MacBook Pro laptops are currently available at lower-than-MSRP at retailers like Amazon and Best Buy. It’s quite likely these deals will remain in place, and the prices could possibly go lower in the lead up to, or on, Black Friday. As for the just-announced M3-chip powered MacBooks, you might see more modest discounts on these, though I wouldn’t necessarily count on it. For help deciding which to get, check out our article on the best MacBooks to buy now.

iMac with M3 Chip (2023) Deals

This is one of the first discounts we’ve seen on the brand-spanking-new iMac with M3 chip. The deal is only available on the green model, but $80 off is nothing to sneeze at.

Apple MagSafe Duo Deal

If you have two MagSafe-compatible Apple devices (or any devices with wireless Qi charging, for that matter), you can charge them both at the same time with the MagSafe Duo charger. It’s on sale now.

Where to Find Apple Deals on Black Friday

The funny thing about Apple and Black Friday sales is that you can find Apple products on sale just about everywhere other than the Apple Store. You can already find lots of deals on these products at Amazon. Other retailers that will offer discounts include Best Buy and also Walmart.

Does Apple Have a Black Friday Sale?

Apple has announced the details of its official Black Friday 2023 sale. The Apple Store’s sale runs November 24 – 27 and gets you a gift card up to $200 with purchase of select products. So nothing is really “on sale” like it will be at Amazon, Best Buy, and other retailers, but you’ll get a decent amount of Apple cash to spend at the Apple Store on future purchases.
