45 of the best Black Friday Apple deals: Record-low prices on AirPods, Apple Watches, and MacBooks
Table of Contents
Black Friday is easily the best time to buy Apple products, and as we hit Cyber Weekend, the deals are predictably great. Don't thank the Apple Store for that: Third-party retailers are the ones offering the biggest cash discounts. (Apple's 2025 Black Friday deal is just its usual free gift card promo.)
For the best selection of Apple deals, head to Amazon: At the time of writing, most of the latest AirPods, Apple Watches, iPads, and MacBooks were sitting at record-low prices there. Competitors like Best Buy, Walmart, and Target were matching some, but not all of its offers.
If you'd happily sacrifice a few current-gen features for the sake of an extra-steep discount, check out Walmart's wares. It has some exclusive deals on the three-year-old Apple Watch SE 2 (now just $129), the M1 MacBook Air (now $549), and the A14 Bionic iPad (now $349 with 256GB of storage).
And a little PSA: If you've been hesitating on buying, you should complete your purchase sooner rather than later. We've been tracking deals all day long and noticed around 5 pm EST, that some AirPods are spiking in price again. The Apple AirPods Pro 2 were down to a record low of $139, but now they're back up to $199. Plus, the AirPods 4 with ANC went from $99.99 to $109.99. Deals really don't last so grab them before they're gone.
To give you a head start on finding deals, we've scoured all of the major players' websites and rounded up the best Black Friday Apple deals below. We'll continue to update it as we get deeper into the holiday season, so keep checking back. In the meantime, here are the 45 best Apple deals as of Nov. 28.

Best Black Friday Apple Watch deal
Why we like it
Apple's previous-gen budget wearable has a bright OLED screen, a water-resistant design, and most of the features available on the newer Apple Watch SE 3. You miss out on sleep apnea notifications, temperature sensing, fast charging, and wrist gestures, plus the always-on display. If you don't consider those essentials, the SE 2 is a bargain for only $129 during Walmart's Black Friday sale. That's almost half off.

Best Black Friday iPad deal
Why we like it
The 11th-gen iPad has a 10.9-inch display, 12MP cameras, and enough power for everyday tasks. Our reviewer called it "a real steal" at its usual sticker price of $349, but you'll pay just $274 if you buy it from Amazon or Walmart this Black Friday. That's its lowest price ever and $5 better than Best Buy's deal.

Best Black Friday MacBook deal
Why we like it
Fast, pretty, and portable, the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air is our favorite MacBook for students. We didn't think it would get any cheaper than $799 this season — that was its regular sale price from August to early November — but Amazon and Best Buy proved us wrong.
