Black Friday Apple deals are finally getting started. Retailers like Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy are rolling out their first round of Black Friday deals, with huge discounts on some of our favorite Apple gear. If you've been wanting to upgrade your laptop, headphones, or iPhone, there's no need to wait for Black Friday.
The first deal I want to call out is the iPhone 16 for $0.01 via Boost Mobile at Amazon. You can get the iPhone 16 with an upfront cost of just one cent, then you pay $65/month for unlimited data.
Also worth noting is the 13-inch MacBook Air M1 for $649 at Walmart. Sure, it's not the latest model, but it's one of the cheapest MacBook deals I've ever seen. And you can grab the Apple Watch 10 (GPS/42mm) for $349 at Amazon ($50 off.)
Black Friday is only a few weeks away, but I doubt most of these deals will stick around for long before they sell 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 too.

MacBook Air 15 (M3): was $1,299 now $999 @ Amazon

The laptop can support up to two external displays (when the laptop lid is closed) and Apple also claims its 60% faster than the M1-based MacBook Air. It boasts up to 18 hours of battery life. In our MacBook Air 15-inch M3 review, we said the Editor's Choice laptop delivers fantastic performance from its M3 chip along with class-leading battery life (15:03). It packs a 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display (2880 x 1864), Apple's M3 CPU w/ 10-core GPU, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB SSD.
MacBook Pro M3: was $1,599 now $1,349 @ Amazon
Apple's M3 MacBook Pro packs the M3 chip into a design that also offers more ports and the stunning Liquid Retina XDR display. It's not as powerful as the upcoming M4 MacBook Pro, but it's still a fantastic machine that has plenty to give.

Mac deals
Mac mini M2: was $599 now $469 @ Amazon
The Apple Mac mini M2 is the cheapest Mac you can get and right now, you can save $130 off the base model that comes with an M2 chip, 8GB of unified memory and a 256GB SSD. There aren't any ports on the front but around back, you get two Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-A ports, a headphone jack and an Ethernet port. Just note that the newer Mac Mini M4 is now available.
Mac mini M4: was $579 now $579 @ Amazon
The Apple Mac mini M4 is the company’s latest and greatest mini PC and even though it just came out, you can save a bit off its full price. You get 16GB of RAM on the base model, Apple’s M4 chip, more Thunderbolt and USB-C ports and for the first time ever on the Mac mini, front ports you can actually reach. 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 iMac M4 delivers all the strengths of the iMac with the added juice provided by Apple's M4 chip, delivering better performance than any iMac to date. However, a lack of meaningful improvements over older models means iMac M3 owners need not rush out to upgrade.
Apple Watch deals
The Apple Watch SE (2022) is the best budget Apple Watch and one of the best affordable smartwatches on the market today, even before a discount. For folks with smaller wrists, the 40mm SE is Apple’s lightest and easiest-wearing smartwatch. It also offers the same battery life, water resistance and many of the same features as the pricier Series 10.
Apple Watch 10 (GPS/42mm): was $399 now $349 @ Amazon
Lowest price: The new Apple Watch boasts a thinner/lighter design, faster charging and a new FDA-authorized sleep apnea detection feature. Other new key features include 30% more screen area, rounded corners and a first-ever wide angle OLED display. In our Apple Watch 10 review we said the optimized watchOS 11 experience and faster charging are worthwhile and make this the Apple Watch to get for most people.
Apple Watch Ultra 2: was $799 now $699 @ Amazon
The Apple Watch Ultra 2 sports plenty of big upgrades from its predecessor. It includes a new S9 SiP processor with 5.6 billion transistors, 30% faster GPU and 4-core neural engines that can power machine learning two times faster than the Apple Watch Series 8. It also boasts a brighter (3,000 nits) display. In our Apple Watch Ultra 2 review, we said it's the ultimate Apple Watch.

LIVE: Latest Updates
I just finished reviewing Apple's new iMac maybe a week ago, and already it's on sale!
Admittedly, the $95 discount is not amazing, but if you've been considering buying an iMac this is a great time to get the latest and greatest at a discount.
It's fast enough to last you and your family for years, too, thanks to the brand-new Apple M4 chip inside. And as you can read in my Apple iMac M4 review, this attractive all-in-one manages to fit all that power into a svelte 24-inch 4.5K display that hides a surprisingly good six-speaker sound system.
I think this is a great all-in-one for students and families because it has a good screen with wide viewing angles, great speakers and enough power for day-to-day work. So grab one now while you can get it at a discount!
iMac 24" (M4/256GB): was $1,299 now $1,204 @ Amazon
Epic deal alert....!
The M2 MacBook Air is an epic machine for students or cash-strapped Mac fans. Right now you can get the base model with 8GB of RAM on sale for $749. It's an epic deal, but keep in mind that it's been $100 cheaper before. The deal I WOULD GET is this one: Amazon has the upgraded 16GB RAM model on sale for $799. However, you get an extra $49 off via the on-page digital coupon. So both models are $749 — it's a no brainer to get the 16GB Mac. The 16GB RAM helps future-proof your Mac and makes this a superb deal. Additionally, this is the cheapest price I've seen for the upgraded 16GB model.
MacBook Air (M2/8GB RAM): was $999 now $749 @ Amazon
MacBook Air (M2/16GB RAM): was $999 now $749 @ Amazon
It wouldn't be a sales event without a generous discount on Apple's AirPods Pro 2. While this isn't quite the lowest price we've seen, Walmart has knocked Apple's premier wireless earbuds down to $189 — $60 less than the usual asking price.
AirPods Pro 2 have been around for a while, but theses wireless earbuds have had a lot of updates over the past couple of years. Recently that involved adding a hearing aid mode and updating the charging case from Lighting to USB-C. There's also some incredibly impressive noise cancelling, spatial audio, high-fidelity sound, IP54 water resistance and up to 6 hours of listening time — or 30 hours with the case.
Apple AirPods Pro 2: was $249 now $189 @ Walmart
Apple has a lot of options when it comes to smartwatches, but if you're looking for a low cost option then the Apple Watch SE is the one to consider. Better still, thanks to a discount at Amazon, you can pick up the 2nd generation Apple Watch SE (40mm) for $189. Or if you want the larger option, the 44m model is $50 off at $229.
The Apple Watch SE lacks a lot of the newer features you'd find on the Apple Watch series 10 or the Apple Watch Ultra 2, but there's still a lot on offer. 18 hours of battery life, water resistance up to 50 meters, health and fitness tracking features, plus a wide range of apps that you can access on your wrist — and away from your phone.
Apple Watch SE (40mm): was $249 now $189 @ Amazon
Apple Watch SE (44mm): was $279 now $229 @ Amazon
It's been less than a week since the Mac mini M4 went on sale, but that hasn't stopped Amazon from dropping the price to $549. With $30 off the retail price, this isn't the biggest discount in the world, but it is still pretty generous for a brand new piece of Apple hardware. Just remember to activate the $25 coupon to get the full saving.
As we wrote in our Apple Mac mini M4 review, the new machine is a huge leap over its predecessor. Not only is it powered by the powerful new M4 chip, it also comes with 16GB of RAM as standard, easier to reach ports and support for 3 external displays. All while maintaining a tiny design with that distinctive Apple look.
Apple Mac mini M4: was $579 now $549 @ Amazon
Now that the first M4 MacBooks have arrived, you can get some great discounts on the old models while they're still so new they're basically as good as the latest and greatest.
Case in point: Amazon is currently knocking $300 off the price of a 15-inch MacBook packing the M3 chip. As you can read in our Apple MacBook Air 15-inch M3 review, this is basically the sweet spot of MacBooks, giving you a bigger screen than the 14-inch Pro while maintaining the slim, lightweight design of the Air. And with the power of M3 onboard, you can count on speedy performance and long battery life.
MacBook Air 15-inch M3: was $1,299 now $999 @ Amazon
Apple Watch 10 hits new price low...
Every Black Friday, Amazon slashes $50 off the current Apple Watch. The deal usually happens the week of Thanksgiving, but this year Amazon isn't wasting time. You can save $50 on the 42mm model or the 46mm model right now. It's the best Apple Watch deal I've seen for the current flagship. Is there a chance it could drop below $349 on Black Friday proper? It might drop another $10, but I personally doubt it'll get significantly cheaper. In other words — I'd get this deal now.
Apple Watch 10 (GPS/42mm): was $399 now $349 @ Amazon
Apple Watch 10 (GPS/46mm): was $429 now $379 @ Amazon
Here's some buying advice from me: don't purchase the AirPods Max just yet. Right now there's a $120 discount on the AirPods Max Lightning model. However, these headphones went on sale for $399 back in July ($150 off) and it's highly likely they'll drop back to this price again on Black Friday. If you want the new AirPods Max headphones with USB-C connectivity, they're currently sitting at full price on Amazon. Once again, I highly recommend waiting for Black Friday in case they see a discount.
If you're always losing your stuff, you'll want to take advantage of this AirTag deal. This gets you a pack of 4 AirTags for $69, which is the lowest price I've ever seen. You're paying around $17.50 per AirTag, and you can attach them to everything from your keys to your luggage. Then, if they get lost, you can track them from your Apple devices using Find My.
AirTag (4-pack): was $99 now $69 @ Amazon
Although it's an older model, the 9th Gen iPad is a great tablet for just about anybody. For $199, it's a total steal. You get a bright 10.2-inch display with good performance thanks to Apple's A13 Bionic chip. Plus, it lasted for just under 12 hours in our battery life tests.
iPad 10.2" (Wi-Fi/64GB): was $329 now $199 @ Amazon
MacBooks may be popular, but fans of all-in-one computers should pay attention to this deal! Right now the new 2024 iMac is on sale for a $95 discount over at Amazon. Our Apple iMac M4 review praised its speedy performance thanks to Apple's new M4 chip, and it has a gorgeous 4.5K Retina display.
iMac 24" (M4/256GB): was $1,299 now $1,204 @ Amazon
I was super excited to see this deal on the AirPods 3. Although they have been well and truly surpassed by the new AirPods 4 (check out our AirPods 4 vs AirPods 3 face-off to see the differences,) the 3rd-Gen model are now $25 cheaper than the latest Apple buds. At just $94, you need to act fast to make sure to snag yourself a pair before they sell out.
