Apple devices are rarely discounted and when they are, the discounts aren’t usually huge. You aren’t ever likely to see 50 per cent off an iPad for example, but money off devices like iPads and Apple Watch models are very much welcomed when they do appear. Thankfully, we are deep 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 in our experience, and especially when they have a discount, 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 itself isn’t until tomorrow, but there are still some incredible deals already. If an Apple Watch has been on your wish list, an iPad or a pair of the excellent AirPods, you’re most definitely in luck.
Latest Apple Black Friday deals
We’re tracking the Black Friday sales every day – and all day too. When any new Apple deals appear, we are dropping them below so you can see the best deals at a glance. For the days where no new deals have arrived, we are highlighting some of our favourite deals in this section below, with some of the best prices we’ve seen.
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. Black Friday is a great time to snag a pair on sale and these prices are some of the best we’ve seen, ever.

Apple AirPods 2
$80 $129 Save $49
The Apple AirPods (2nd Generation) offer fewer features than the 3rd Generation or the Pro models. However, they are still very convenient for Apple users, offer decent sound performance and at under $80, there’s very little not to love.
Apple
Apple AirPods 3
$140 $170 Save $30
The Apple AirPods (3rd generation) are a great mid-way point in the AirPods portfolio. They offer controls on the stem and sweat resistance, but they don’t have Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) or all the features of the AirPods Pro (2nd generation). With $30 on Best Buy and Amazon, they are the cheapest they’ve been for a while and a great set of wireless headphones.
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. The latest models all have money off and they are the cheapest we have ever seen them.

Apple Watch SE (2022)
$179 $249 Save $70
The Apple Watch SE is the entry point into the 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 $70 off, this is a great deal that sees it at its cheapest ever price at under $180.

Apple Watch Series 9
$329 $399 Save $70
The Apple Watch Series 9 is the latest smartwatch from Apple, alongside the Apple Watch Ultra 2, so it is a very pleasant surprise to see it with a discount. The Watch Series 9 comes in a number of color options, and it has some great features like Double Tap. With $70 off some retailers, we’d snap this up as quickly as possible.

Apple Watch Ultra 2
$739 $799 Save $60
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is the top-of-the-range Apple Watch with not only all the features Apple has to offer but in a rugged and more pronounced design, too. It’s a brilliant smartwatch with a stunning 3000 nits display and more sensors than many will know what to do with. With $60 off, it’s a great price for a device that’s just two months old.
Apple/ Pocket-lint
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. Consider the Series 9 first as it’s not too much more on its current deal, but Walmart are offering the GPS & Cellular model fo the Series 8 for $175 off.
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 are a great companion for workflow and creativity. With several models on sale, Black Friday is a great time to buy an iPad at a discount.

Apple iPad 9th Gen (2021)
$230 $329 Save $99
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 $100 off, it’s a truly fantastic price.

Apple iPad Air (2022)
$500 $599 Save $99
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 iPad (2022)
$349 $449 Save $100
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 $100 off, it’s under $350.
Apple/ Pocket-lint
Apple iPad Mini (2021)
$400 $499 Save $99
The Apple iPad mini is a little powerhouse of a tablet, delivering excellent performance and a fabulous experience from its small and compact build. With $100 off on Best Buy and Amazon, it’s also a stellar price.
Best Black Friday MacBook deals
With the move from Intel chips to Apple’s M-series Silicon chips, the MacBook has only improved in recent years, though they have become more expensive too. Luckily, Black Friday makes the price tags on these powerful laptops easier to digest.

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 wonderful everyday computer is worth the investment.
Apple/ Pocket-lint
Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch (M3, 2023)
$2299 $2499 Save $200
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 ‘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 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/ Pocket-lint
Apple Pencil (USB-C)
$71 $79 Save $8
The Apple Pencil (USB-C) only launched in October so it’s not been around very long. It will attach magnetically to the side of the iPad (10th generation) and newer, entering sleep mode when it does. It misses out on a few of the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) features but there’s plenty on offer here and this is the best price we have seen this Pencil model so far.
Apple/ Pocket-lint
Apple AirTag
$24 $30 Save $6
Apple’s AirTags are excellent for placing on key items you’d rather not lose, whether that’s your keys or your child’s soft toy. You can buy singular AirTags or a pack of four, both of which have money off for Black Friday. The single AirTag is the lowest price this month, with nearly 20 per cent off.
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. We’ve seen this is the lowest price recently, with over $30 off.
Apple/ Pocket-lint
Apple Pencil (2nd Generation)
$82 $129 Save $47
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.
Apple
Apple 35W Dual USB-C Charger
$44 $59 Save $15
It might just seem like a plug, but the Apple 35W Dual USB-C Port Compact Adapter comes in far more useful than you might think. You can charge more than one device from it and quickly too. With 25 per cent off, it’s a purchase you’ll be grateful for.
What is the newest Apple Watch?
Loic Salan
Apple announced a couple of new Watch models during its September 2023 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. They also both have discounts for Black Friday.
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?
Three AirPods models 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 – though they are currently $80, while the AirPods Pro 3rd Generation usually hovers around the $139 to $149 mark during sales periods and currently at $140.
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 and the deals on AirPods are currently great.
