Apple Black Friday deals — my 5 favorite finds right now
I'd snatch up these sales before they're gone
During Black Friday deals, you can find some of the lowest prices of the year on sought-after products. Based on what I've seen, it's the best time to buy Apple devices, with huge discounts happening right now across all of the company's product categories.
For example, the new AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C are on sale for $189 at Amazon. This is a record-low price that I — someone who has covered Apple devices for several years — didn't expect for a product that launched just two months ago. Meanwhile, my Apple Watch Series 9 is always strapped to my wrist, and it's on sale for $329 at Amazon. That's an all-time-low price.
