Keepin’ up the Beats (for less)
Apple’s Beats line of audio products offer a distinct style and sound compared to Apple’s AirPods, and the Beats Studio+ are a prime example. For starters, you can get these earbuds in a transparent color — we think far more companies should offer this as an option. And, these buds deliver strong audio (though surprisingly less bass than we expected), effective active noise cancellation, and up to nine hours on a charge. And, they’re IPX4-rated, so they should be able to stand up to your sweat while you’re working out. This Black Friday deal takes a modest $20 off their regular price.

Listen to the Beats for $99
If you want to take your tunes on the road, then you’ll want to check out this Beats Pill Black Friday deal, which takes $50 off this Bluetooth speaker. Except for one quick dip back in September (which saw it as low as $88), this is the lowest price we’ve seen for the device. It has an excellent 24 hours of battery life, has an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, and comes in your choice of black, blue, or red. It works with both Apple and Android devices, and you can pair two Beats Pills for stereo sound.

Save 20% on the 11-inch iPad
Sitting between the iPad Air and the iPad Pro is the workhorse iPad, which may not have a fancy name, but we think it offers the greatest value among our list of the best tablets. Naturally, the A16 chip inside the iPad isn’t as powerful as the M5 chip in the iPad Pro, but it’s nearly on a par with the M3 processor in the iPad mini 7 and iPad Air. And, for under $300, who cares, if all you’ll be doing is watching Netflix and sending email. You’ll want to read our iPad 11 (2025) review for more details, but if you want a dependable tablet at a good price, this is it.
iPad 11 (128GB, Wi-Fi): was $349 now $279 @ Amazon
iPad 11 (256GB, Wi-Fi): was $449 now $379 @Amazon
iPad 11 (512GB, Wi-Fi): was $649 now $579 @ Amazon
Binge for less
Not all of Apple’s Black Friday deals are hardware-based. Right now, you can get six months of Apple TV+ for $5.99 a month, which is more than half off its regular price of $12.99/month. Apple TV+ is one of the best streaming services — what it lacks in quantity it makes up for in quality, with such bangers as “Slow Horses,” “The Morning Show,” and its latest hit, “Pluribus,” which was created by Vince Gilligan of “Breaking Bad,” and starring Rhea Seahorn from “Better Call Saul.”
Apple Airpods 4 for under $100
Have you wanted to get active noise cancellation for under $100? Now’s your chance, as the Apple AirPods 4 with ANC have dropped in price from $179 to $99 on Amazon. In our Apple AirPods 4 review, we found that the ANC was very effective at blocking out sound, and we also liked the Spatial Audio as well as adaptive transparency mode. Even better: the charging case has Apple FindMy built in, so if you ever misplace it, it shouldn’t be too hard to find. You can also get the AirPods 4 without noise cancellation for $79 at Amazon, but we think the extra $20 is worth it.

This MacBook deal is too good to miss!
The 13-inch MacBook Air M4 dropped to $749 at Amazon — a $250 discount on one of the best laptops around.
This isn’t just a good deal, it’s exceptional value. The M4 chip delivers nearly double the performance of the M1 model, 16GB of RAM comes standard (double what the M1 offers), and you get a sleeker design with a larger 13.6-inch display and MagSafe charging.
If you’ve been waiting for the right time to grab a MacBook, this is it.
$100 off Apple’s iPad mini 7
Apple’s smallest iPad is seeing a major discount this Black Friday, at $100 off. The iPad mini 7 strikes the perfect balance between portability and power. The 8.3-inch screen is big enough for reading, gaming, and note-taking without feeling bulky, and the A17 Pro chip handles everything from creative apps to Apple Intelligence features smoothly.
The display looks gorgeous with vibrant colors and True Tone that adjusts to your lighting, while the Ultra Wide front camera keeps you centered during video calls. It works with Apple Pencil Pro for sketching and note-taking, connects via USB-C for faster file transfers, and lasts all day on a single charge. Starting at 128GB of storage, it’s genuinely portable without sacrificing capability.
Apple Watch Ultra drops to all-time low
To get the Apple Watch Ultra experience without shelling out $700+ for the Ultra 2 or Ultra 3, the original Apple Watch Ultra is a solid alternative. For Black Friday, Amazon has it priced at just $374, its lowest price yet.
Compared to the Ultra 2, the differences are minor. Both feature a 49mm display, up to 36 hours of battery life, and a rugged design built for outdoor adventures and water activities. The main upgrades you’ll miss out on are 1,000 nits of extra screen brightness, sleep apnea detection, and the new double-tap gesture. Still, at this price, it’s an incredible deal.
Get this 13-inch iPad Air M2 for just $649!
Amazon isn’t the only retailer hawking killer Apple deals ahead of Black Friday. The 13-inch MacBook Air M2 has dropped to its lowest price yet at Best Buy, and you can expect to save $150 on one of our most recommended laptops.
The MacBook Air M2 is remarkably light and thin yet sports a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, a speedy Apple M2 CPU w/ 8-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, 256GB SSD, and a great 1080p FaceTime camera. In our MacBook Air M2 review, we gave it 4 stars for its fast M2 performance, excellent battery life, and surprisingly solid speakers, so don’t miss your chance to get this Editor’s Choice laptop at a great discount.
Save 20% off Apple’s pint-size powerhouse
We named Apple’s Mac mini (M4) the best mini PC for just about anyone. This pint-sized powerhouse’s lightning-fast performance and 16GB of RAM feel tailor-made for multitasking and creative work. You also get a surprisingly versatile selection of ports, including three Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-C ports, HDMI, and Ethernet.
Right now, you can save $120 off, a seriously solid discount for one of Apple’s most compact and powerful desktops. If you’ve been eyeing the latest Mac experience in a small form factor, this is easily one of the best early Black Friday deals I’d recommend jumping on.
Say goodbye to ever losing your stuff again
It’s honestly impressive how much I misplace my wallet and keys. It’s like as soon I set them down, they disappear. That’s why you can bet I’m stocking up on AirTags this Black Friday, especially since Amazon has the AirTag 4-pack on sale for just $64, which saves you $35 off the regular price. These tiny trackers make it a snap to find your essentials with a loud chirp, and if you’re using an iPhone, Precision Finding guides you straight to your lost item with on-screen directions.
You’ll have no trouble finding Black Friday monitor deals this year, but one of my favorites is Apple’s Studio Display, now starting at just $1,499 on Amazon. That saves you $100 off its regular price, which is a steal for the best monitor we recommend for Mac users.
Apple’s premium AirPods Max are seeing a massive price drop at Best Buy, where the Space Gray model is now just $479 — a huge $170 off the regular price. If you prefer another color, the Sky Blue model is still a great deal for just $20 more. In our full AirPods Max review, we praised their ultra-comfortable ear cushions, intuitive digital crown controls, powerful active noise cancellation, and immersive Spatial Audio. At this price, we’d call them an essential purchase ahead of Black Friday.
Snag a free iPhone 17 from Verizon or T-Mobile
Right now, you can get an iPhone 17 for free with a Welcome Unlimited Plan from Verizon. And T-Mobile is offering a free iPhone 17, too. But if you want the biggest screen — and longest battery life — possible, you can snag an iPhone 17 Pro Max with an unlimited plan at Verizon. I’m pretty cheap, but even I can’t argue with “free” for one of the best iPhones on the market.
Get the Apple Watch SE 3 for its lowest price yet
I’m an absolute sucker for the Apple Watch SE 3. Even at full price, it’s one of the best wallet-friendly smartwatches of the year. Right now, you can save $50 on this small but mighty Apple Watch ahead of Black Friday, which offers nearly all the same smart features, fitness tools, and safety tech as Apple’s high-end models.
While it skips a few advanced health sensors—like ECG readings—the SE 3 still nails the essentials. You’ll get daily sleep reports with a sleep score, continuous heart rate and skin-temperature monitoring, menstrual cycle tracking, and plenty more.
AirPods Pro 2 drop below $200
The AirPods Pro 2 are some of the best wireless earbuds you can buy right now, especially for iPhone owners. They also comes with the advantage of seamless connectivity with all Apple devices, which makes one of the biggest hassles of using Bluetooth earbuds disappear, as well as solid Active Noise Canceling, great sound and spatial audio in a variety of different apps.
The battery life isn’t the best, especially with ANC switched on, but you’ll get around 6 hours from the buds — with the battery case upping that time to 30 hours. Plus, these days charging is done via USB-C rather than Apple’s aged Lightning cables.
We should mention that AirPods Pro 2 has been cheaper in the past, dropping to as low as $153 last November. We could still see the price drop between now and Cyber Monday, but it’s rare to see the earbuds drop below $169. So make sure to snap up a pair while they’re cheap.
