51+ best Apple Black Friday deals LIVE — AirPods, MacBooks, iPhones, iPads and more

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.

Upgrading to a new phone can be stressful, but I’ve already spotted some great iPhone deals that make the decision easier as we close in on Black Friday. Best Buy is slashing $50 off the price of an unlocked iPhone 16, which is everything that we love about Apple in one handy package.

The iPhone 16 stands apart from previous iPhones simply because it feels more like a Pro than we would expect. Not only are you getting a stylish new design, but there’s also a 6.1-inch display as well as both a 48MP main camera and a 12MP ultra-wide. Everything runs on Apple’s stellar A18 chip, easily running circles around most other chips in its class. And of course, there’s no talking about the iPhone 16 without mentioning Apple Intelligence and all the great new features it offers like live translation, smart photo editing, and more.

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.

Check out our Apple Studio Display review for our full impressions. TLDR: We’re obsessed with its stunning 27-inch 5K Retina panel, excellent built-in camera, and fantastic speaker system. The upgraded version with nano-texture glass is also discounted to $1,679, knocking more than $200 off its usual price.

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.
