The 30+ best early Black Friday Apple deals: We found record lows on AirPods and MacBooks already
Table of Contents
Black Friday is easily the best time to buy Apple products, and with just about one week to go until the shopping holiday, the deals are already pretty good. You can thank Amazon for that: It's dropped the price of the entry-level AirPods 4 and M4 MacBook Airs to new all-time lows, and taken $50 off the price of most iPads — even the new M5 iPad Pros.
Other retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, and Target aren't price-matching a ton of Amazon's deals on current-gen Apple devices just yet, but they're picking up the slack when it comes to older models. Best Buy is the only place where some M4 iPad Pros are $100 off, for example, and Walmart has an exclusive discount on last year's Apple Watch Series 10 with cellular connectivity. (It's a whopping 40% off.)
As per usual, don't expect the Apple Store itself to offer any crazy-good Black Friday deals. If anything, it'll just run one of its free gift card promos.
I've scoured all of the major players' websites and rounded up the best early Black Friday Apple deals below. I'll continue to update it as we get deeper into the holiday season, so keep checking back.

Best early Black Friday AirPods deal
Why we like it
Usually we go to Amazon for the lowest prices, but this time, Walmart has the best savings on AirPods. Right now you can find the Apple AirPods 2 for just $139, saving $110 off their usual $249 price for 44% off. That's the best savings you can find on AirPods right now, but if you're looking for a different model, there are other deals to explore ahead of Black Friday.

Best early Black Friday Apple Watch deal
Why we like it
Apple's previous-gen flagship wearable has a thin, lightweight design and supports the latest watchOS features like Sleep Score. The model with cellular connectivity is now the same price as the WiFi-only version at Walmart.

Best early 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 $299 right now. (That's $20 away from its lowest price ever.)

Best early Black Friday MacBook deal
Why we like it
Fast and portable, the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air is our favorite MacBook for students. The base model is only $750 on Amazon as of early November — a new record low — and I seriously doubt it'll get any cheaper on Black Friday proper. That's a bargain.
