While you start your planning for the Thanksgiving meal of a lifetime, odds are high you’re also starting your gift list for your friends and family. Whether you’re hunting for fashion finds, vacuum deals or just adding everything you can to your Amazon cart to save $$$ and take advantage of fast shipping, we’d suggest turning your head to the early Apple Black Friday deals that we’ve found so far.
Right now, you can score up to 25% off Apple gadgets like AirPods, Apple Watches, iPads, MacBooks, and beyond, and we’re still over a week out from the official Black Friday. As a professional doom scrollercommerce editor, I’ve scoured the internet to find the best Apple deals from major retailers like Amazon and Walmart, which are your best bet for finding Apple sales. For what it’s worth, “older” tech, like the Series 7 Apple Watch and the 2022 MacBook Pro are seeing the biggest discounts. The tech isn’t actually old, it’s just not one of Apple’s latest 2023 drops, so it’s an easy way to snag a gadget upgrade without breaking the bank.
We’ll be updating this page as we inch closer to Black Friday, so keep it bookmarked to quickly check back and see if your dream Apple gadget drops in price. In the meantime, scroll on for the best Apple Black Friday deals on Airpods, Apple Watch, and more.
Best Early Black Friday AirPods Deals
AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) were just updated with a USB-C charging port. That means those lucky enough to score an iPhone 15 can now use the same cable to charge everything. Or, opt for the the AirPods (2nd Gen), which use a Lightning cable, and are one of the most budget-friendly Apple devices out there at less than $120. Then, there’s the internet’s (and my personal) favorite headphones: the AirPods Max. There’s a reason everyone’s obsessed with them — from the sleek design to the powerful battery life with up to 20 hours of run time. I could drone on and on about these headphones for days, but I’ll let you find out how great they are for yourself.
Best Early Black Friday Apple Watch Deals
Apple Watches are the hottest tech accessory you can get, and they climb to the top of wishlists every year. Now up to 51% off (!!!!), each model we found on sale offers activity tracking, a heart rate monitor, and built-in safety features. The SE (2nd Gen) (which dropped this year, btw) is the most baseline and budget-friendly pick. The Series 7 features cellular connectivity, so you can connect it to your data plan for total hands-free calling and texting. Meanwhile, the Series 8 features a temperature sensor that allows you to track your ovulation cycles if you’re in the process of family planning or just curious.
Best Early Black Friday iPad Deals
An iPad is THE tech gadget to have on deck when you don’t feel like lugging your computer on a trip, commute, or to the couch. I won’t shut up about my iPad Air, since it’s so thin and lightweight I sometimes forget I already tossed it in my bag. If you’re looking for an even more portable option with a smaller screen, the iPad Mini is your ticket, as it’s closer to the size of a Kindle (plus, 21% off??? Obsessed.). If you’re looking for the nostalgia of Apple devices past, the iPad (9th Gen) is under $300 and features the classic home button.
Best Early Black Friday MacBook Deals
Oh, MacBook. The clack of the keyboard, the sleek design… There’s really nothing like it. There are four models on sale right now, and while MacBook discounts tend to be modest, we’ll take what we can get. The new 15.3-inch MacBook Air is the lowest price we’ve seen since its release this summer. If you’re looking to spend less than $1,000, the 2020 MacBook Air is just $850. For the power of a MacBook Pro for less, the 13-inch 2022 MacBook Pro is $200 off, and a convenient portable size that will fit in your tote.
Best Early Black Friday Apple Accessories Deals
Pairing your Apple gadgets with the right accessories like a charger and case can help you get the most out of your tech. If you’re not an AirPods girlie, you can opt for Beats that connect just as seamlessly to your phone and offer comparable features to standard AirPods, plus the rubberized tips and fit similar to AirPods Pro.
