I've been tracking Apple Black Friday deals for 11 years here at Tom's Guide, and I'm seeing some of the best discounts of the year right now. Sure, Apple has a reputation for high prices, but Black Friday deals are the perfect time to snag your favorite products for a fraction of the price.
For example, the AirPods Pro 2 is just $169 on Amazon right now. That's within $10 of the lowest price ever for one of the best wireless earbuds we've tested. You can also grab the iPhone 16 Pro for just $0.01 via Boost Mobile at Amazon. That's an amazing discount on a flagship phone that normally costs $999.
You can you also snag the Apple Watch 10 (GPS/42mm) for $329 at Amazon ($70 off). That's the cheapest price I've seen for Apple's flagship watch. And if you're in the market for a new laptop the MacBook Air 13 M2 is $749 at Amazon, which is $250 off.
Black Friday week may say even cheaper prices in some cases, but if you see a really great discount I'd grab it in case it sells out. I'll be by your side bringing you the best deals as they roll in, so stay tuned to this page. For more ways to save, see our Apple promo codes guide.

The AirPods Pro 2 are Apple's best wireless earbuds. Our AirPods Pro 2 review found excellent sound quality, great noise cancelling performance and immersive Spatial audio. This $80 discount brings the AirPods Pro 2 down to within $10 of their lowest price ever.
If you want to pair comfort and style with 40-hour battery life, then the Beats Solo 3 are for you. These are a solid entry-level pair of headphones, and because they feature the Apple W1 chip, they'll quickly pair with your iPhone, iPad or Mac. Just note that the newer Beats Solo 4 are now available.
Lowest price: Save over $30 on this 4-pack of Apple's AirTag trackers, letting you track multiple objects direct from your iPhone. Whether you're traveling with multiple bags, or just can't keep track of your bags and keys, these could prove invaluable in the months ahead.
If you like a pair of wireless earbuds with great sound but don't want AirPods for whatever reason, the Beats Studio Buds offer a similar level of quality. They don't have the extended stem, so this might be a better option if you don't like that style. With $70 off, they're worth picking up, as these are close to their all-time low price.

In our Mac mini M4 review, we hailed this mini PC as nearly perfect — except for the annoying fact that its power button is located on the bottom of the device. Note: It was $50 off earlier, so we recommend waiting for it to hit that price point again.
The MacBook Air M2 is one of our most recommended laptops.
