We also have U.K. deals below. ‘Tis the season for savings! Whether you’re looking for a deal on an iPad, Mac, iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPods, or anything else Apple sells, there’s no better time to get one for cheap than Black Friday, the annual shopping extravaganza that runs from Friday, November 28, through Monday, December 1, better known as Cyber Monday. Every retailer that sells Apple stuff gets in on the fun, and we’ll track every deal we can find right here. Even Apple runs its own Black Friday shopping event, where it typically offers gift cards on certain purchases. The bottom line is that there are lots of deals to be found over the four days, so no matter what Apple device you’re looking for you will be able to make a saving. But you don’t need to wait for Black Friday to begin to get a great price on Apple gear. Sales are already going on, and we’re tracking them diligently to bring you the best ones all through the holiday shopping season. Many of the best deals we see are on Amazon, but we’ll also be checking resellers such as Best Buy, B&H and Walmart in the U.S., and KRCS, AO, Argos, John Lewis, Currys, Laptops Direct, and eBuyer in the U.K. So take a look at the deals below and be sure to bookmark this page! Apple’s Black Friday 2025: Apple’s deal Apple holds its own shopping event every Black Friday, but it doesn’t offer actual discounts. Instead, Apple gives away gift cards when you buy certain products, which can be used on a future purchase. In 2024 Apple offered the following gift card values over Black Friday: $25/£20 Apple Gift Card: AirPods 4, iPhone SE, Apple TV 4K, Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil (2nd generation), Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro (M4), Magic Keyboard for iPad Air (M2), Magic Keyboard Folio, Smart Folio for iPad Pro, Smart Folio for iPads Pro, Air And 10th gen, Beats Solo Buds, Beats Pill, or Beats Flex $50/£40 Apple Gift Card: iPhone 14, HomePod, AirPods Pro 2, Apple Watch SE, iPad 10th gen, Beats Studio Pro, Beats Solo 4 Wireless, Beats Fit Pro, Beats Studio Buds + $75/£60 Apple Gift Card: iPhone 15, AirPods Max, iPad Air (M2) $100/£80 Apple Gift Card: iPad Pro (M4) $150/£120 Apple Gift Card: 13-inch MacBook Air (M2) $175/£140 Apple Gift Card: 13-inch MacBook Air (M3) $200/£160 Apple Gift Card: 15-inch MacBook Air (M3) We expect this year’s discounts will be similar, with newer models replacing the ones on this list (M4 MacBook Air for M3 MacBook Air; iPhone 16e replacing iPhone SE, etc.). Apple typically announces the products that are included in its shopping event offers the week before Thanksgiving. Early Black Friday MacBook Air and MacBook Pro deals Apple released the new M5 MacBook Pro in October, but still sells M4 Pro and M4 Max models as well as the M4 MacBook Air. The new M5 model is mostly a chip refresh, so we’ll spotlight any significant discounts on the M4 model as well. The M4 models are all excellent laptops, especially if you can save $200 or more. U.S. Amazon, 13-inch M4 MacBook Air (256GB): $750 ($249 off, MSRP $999) Amazon, 13-inch M4 MacBook Air (512GB/24GB): $1,150 ($249 off, MSRP $1,399) Amazon, 15-inch M4 MacBook Air (256GB/16GB): $950 ($249 off, MSRP $1,199) Amazon, 15-inch M4 MacBook Air (512GB/16GB): $1,150 ($249 off, MSRP $1,399) Amazon, 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro (512B/16GB RAM): $1,538 ($61 off, MSRP £1,599) Amazon, 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro (1TB/16GB RAM): $1,749.99 ($49 off, MSRP £1,799) Amazon, 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro (512GB): $1,340 ($259 off, MSRP $1,599) Amazon, 14-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro (24GB RAM, 512GB): $1,748 ($251 off, MSRP $1,999) Amazon, 16-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro (24GB RAM, 512GB): $2,189 ($310 off, MSRP $2,499) Amazon, 16-inch M4 Max MacBook Pro (48GB RAM, 1TB): $3,531 ($468 off, MSRP $3,999) Save money on the MacBook Pro this Cyber Monday.Foundry U.K. Amazon, 13-inch MacBook Air, M4 (10-core CPU/8-core GPU, 256GB/16GB RAM): £879 (£120 off, RRP £999) Amazon, 13-inch MacBook Air, M4 (10-core CPU/10-core GPU, 1TB/16GB RAM): £1,229.97 (£169 off, RRP £1,399) Amazon, 15-inch MacBook Air, M4 (10-core CPU/10-core GPU, 256GB/16GB RAM): £1,079.97 (£119 off, RRP £1,199) KRCS, 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro (512GB/16GB RAM): £1,439.10 (£160 off, RRP £1,599) Amazon, 14-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro (512GB/24GB RAM): £1,750 (£250 off, RRP £1,999) Amazon, 14-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro (1TB/24GB RAM): £2,119.97 (£279 off, RRP £2,399) Amazon, 16-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro (512GB/24GB RAM): £2,200 (£299 off, RRP £2,499) Early Black Friday iMac and Mac mini deals The iMac and Mac mini received an M4 update in October 2024, with the Mac mini also getting a dramatic redesign that shrunk the case down to just 5 inches. We don’t know if they will be getting M5 chips, but if they are, they won’t arrive until 2026, and it likely won’t be much more than a faster chip. So we recommend picking up one of these deals if you’re looking for a Mac desktop. Save money off a new iMac.Foundry U.S. Amazon, M4 Mac mini (256GB): $499 ($100 off, MSRP $599) Amazon, M4 Mac mini (24GB RAM, 512GB): $890 ($109 off, MSRP $999) Amazon, M4 Pro Mac mini (24GB RAM, 512GB): $1,270 ($129 off, MSRP $1,399) Amazon, M4 iMac (8-core GPU, 256GB): $1,182 ($117 off, MSRP $1,299) Amazon, M4 iMac, 10-core GPU, 256GB): $1,374 ($125 off, MSRP $1,499) For more monitors for your Mac look at Best Mac monitor deals for Black Friday U.K. Amazon, M4 Mac mini, 256GB/16GB RAM, £529 (£70 off, RRP £599) Amazon, M4 Mac mini, 512GB/16GB RAM, £720 (£79 off, RRP £799) KRCS, M4 Mac mini, 512GB/24GB RAM, £899 (£100 off, RRP £799) Amazon, M4 Pro Mac mini, 512GB/24GB RAM, £1,269.99 (£129 off, RRP £1,399) Amazon, M4 iMac (8-core GPU, 256GB/16GB RAM), £1,199 (£100 off, RRP £1,299) Amazon, M4 iMac (10-Core GPU, 256GB/16GB RAM), £1,349 (£150 off, RRP £1,499) Amazon, M4 iMac (10-Core GPU, 512GB RAM) £1,549 (£150 off, RRP £1,699) Early Black Friday AirPods deals Apple released the AirPods Pro 3 in September 2025, with a slightly new design, foam-infused eartips, a heart-rate sensor, and the same $249 price tag in the U.S., while the price in the U.K. dropped to £219 from £229. Even the AirPods 4 are relatively new, arriving in late 2024, and the AirPods Max gained a USB-C port and refreshed color options in 2024. We usually see some tremendous savings on AirPods over Black Friday, and we don’t expect this year to be any different. Look for the newer AirPods Pro 3 at a modest $30-$50 off, but other models could get deep discounts. We expect to see AirPods Pro 2 as low as $150, AirPods 4 dropping under $85 for the first time, and AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation under $115. AirPods tend to go on sale for a limited time, expect good deals over Black Friday.Petter Ahrnstedt U.S. Amazon, AirPods Pro 2: $169.99 ($30 off, MSRP $199) Amazon, AirPods Pro 3: $249 ($0 off, MSRP £249) Amazon, AirPods 4: $199 ($20 off, MSRP $129) Amazon, AirPods 4 (with ANC): $149 ($30 off, MSRP $179) Amazon, AirPods Max: $496 ($53 off, MSRP $549) Amazon, Wired EarPods (USB-C): $17 ($2 off, MSRP $19) U.K. Amazon, AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C case): £199 (Note AirPods Pro 3 are only £219) Amazon, AirPods Pro 3: £219 (£0 off, RRP £219) Amazon, AirPods 4: £119 (£0 off, RRP £119) Amazon, AirPods 4 (with ANC): £169 (£0 off, RRP £169) Early Black Friday Apple Watch deals Grab yourself an Apple Watch deal for Black Friday.Mike Sawh Apple launched the Apple Watch Series 11 in September, but there aren’t many exclusive new features beyond better battery life and 5G networking. The two new health features, hypertension alerts and Sleep Score, are also available on the Series 10, and there isn’t a new color this year. The Ultra 3 is also new, with a larger screen and satellite connectivity, while the SE 3 got the biggest update of all, gaining an always-on display, temperature sensor, a faster chip, on-device Siri, and fast charging. We’ll spotlight clearance deals on older models, especially the Series 10. However, we don’t think the Apple Watch SE 2 is worth getting unless it drops under $150. U.S. Amazon, Apple Watch Series 11 (42mm): $390 ($9 off, MSRP $399) Amazon, Apple Watch Series 11 (46mm): $420 ($9 off, MSRP $429) Amazon, Apple Watch SE 3 (40mm): $199 ($50 off, MSRP $249) Amazon, Apple Watch SE 3 (44mm): $229 ($50 off, MSRP $279) Amazon, Apple Watch Ultra 3: $700 ($99 off, MSRP $799) Amazon, Apple Watch Series 10 (42mm): $280 ($119 off, MSRP $399) Amazon, Apple Watch Series 10 (46mm): $309 ($120 off, MSRP $429) U.K. In the U.K., Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra 3 prices have been cut by £30 and £50, respectively, compared to their predecessors. Keep this in mind when shopping, because some stores might make savings appear to be larger than they actually are. Apple Watch Ultra 2: £615 (Ultra 3 is £749) Apple Watch Series 10 (46mm) GPS: £299 (Series 11 is £399) Apple Watch Series 10 (42mm) GPS&Cellular: £391 (Series 11 is £469) Early Black Friday iPad deals Apple updated the iPad Air with an M3 chip and the iPad Pro with an M5 chip this year. Otherwise, Apple’s tablet lineup remains the same, so expect to see at least $100 off most models, with the A16 iPad possibly dropping down to $275 or lower. Grab a discounted iPad this Black Friday.Foundry U.S. Amazon, 11-inch M5 iPad Pro (128GB): $949 ($50 off, MSRP $999) Amazon, 13-inch M5 iPad Pro (128GB): $1,249 ($50 off, MSRP $1,299) Amazon, iPad (A16, 128GB): $299 ($50 off, MSRP $349) Amazon, iPad mini (A17 Pro, 128 GB): $399 ($100 off, MSRP $499) Amazon, 11-inch M3 iPad Air (128GB): $549 ($50 off, MSRP $599) Amazon, 13-inch M3 iPad Air (128GB): $749 ($50 off, MSRP $799) Amazon, 11-inch M4 iPad Pro (512GB): $1,099 ($100 off, MSRP $1,199) Amazon, 13-inch M4 iPad Pro (256GB): $1,099 ($200 off, MSRP $1,299) U.K. KRCS, 11-inch M5 iPad Pro (128GB): £979 (£20 off, RRP £999) KRCS, 13-inch M5 iPad Pro (128GB): £1,273 (£26 off, RRP £1,299) Amazon, iPad (A16, 128GB): £299 (£30 off, RRP £329) Amazon, iPad mini (A17 Pro, 128GB): £461 (£38 off, RRP £499) Amazon, 11-inch iPad Air (M3, 128GB): £560 (£39 off, RRP £599) Amazon, 13-inch iPad Air (M3, 256GB): £849.97(£50 off, RRP £899) Amazon, 11-inch M4 iPad Pro (512GB): £1,079 (£120 off, RRP £1,199) Early Black Friday iPhone deals U.K. readers can save money on a new iPhone.David Price / Foundry Apple launched the iPhone 17 lineup in September, so shoppers should look for discounts on the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, which were already cut by $100/£100. Additionally, the iPhone 16e will likely drop by $100 or more. Carriers will likely have enticing deals with trade-ins as well, but be wary of long-term contracts and terms. Most iPhone deals in the U.S. are through carriers and require a trade-in or adding a new line. In the U.K. there are less limitations on the sale of iPhones so you will be able to pick one up unlocked at a discount if you would prefer to buy an iPhone up front, rather than on a contract. These are the best deals we’ve seen: Amazon, iPhone 16e (256GB): £649 (£50 off, RRP £699) Amazon, iPhone 16e (512GB): £849 (£50 off, RRP £899) Amazon, iPhone 16 (128GB): £699 (Full Price, RRP now £699) Amazon, iPhone 16 Plus (128GB): £799 (Full Price, RRP now £799) You can read our best Black Friday iPhone deals roundup for more information. Early Black Friday Apple accessories deals There are lots more Apple products you can buy to go with your new Mac, iPhone or iPad. Whether it’s a mouse and keyboard for your Mac, an Apple Pencil or keyboard cover to go with your iPad, charging cables and adapters, or AirTags so you can keep track of everything, you can grab a discount this Black Friday. If you see a deal on any Apple Pencils make sure they work with your iPad first: the Apple Pencil Pro is the newest model and compatible with the iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPad mini. The USB-C Apple Pencil is also compatible with these models as well as the 10th-gen iPad, but doesn’t have squeeze gestures and magnetic charging, and because it doesn’t support pressure sensitivity it’s less good for artists. You can still buy the original Apple Pencil, which does allow you to use different levels of pressure with your drawing, but it charges via Lightning so you need an adapter.

Apple TV’s new glassy intro wasn’t created on a Mac
Macworld Earlier this week, Apple revealed new branding that will appear at the start of Apple TV shows. The new title card features a colorful presentation of the Apple logo, and according to AdAge, the company took a more traditional approach to creating the look. Instead of using computer-generated graphics or AI, Apple, working with TBWAMedia Arts Lab and Optical Arts, made the visual part of the branding with a glass Apple TV logo model and lighting effects captured with a camera. According to AdAge, this production approach aligns with a presentation that Apple VP Tor Myhren made at Cannes Lions back in June, where Myhren spoke about the importance of human creation at a time when AI-based tools are emerging. AdAge has a highlight video that shows the behind-the-scenes production of the shoot. Besides the five-second clip that appears at the start of shows, a 12-second version was made to appear at the start of Apple Original Films (a.k.a. movies). There’s also a one-second “sting” made for trailers. This is just the beginning.Music composed by FINNEAS. pic.twitter.com/DV8d2eK0B3— Apple TV (@AppleTV) November 3, 2025 The music accompanying the branding was made by Finneas, Billie Eilish’s brother and collaborator, solo artist, composer, and producer. In a report by Variety, Finneas states that he had HBO’s static sound and NBC’s peacock chimes in mind when creating the Apple TV jingle he dubbed “Mnemomic.” While Finneas did use digital tools to create the final product, he primarily relied on his piano as the basis for the sound. “I played a chord that felt kind of hopeful and kind of optimistic, but had gravity to it and hopefully had a little bit of an enigmatic, mysterious quality,” he told Variety. “And so I had this chord thing happening and then I started building the sounds around it.”

The better-than-AirPods Beats Studio Buds+ drop to their best price ever
Macworld I don’t know about you, but I’ve got music playing pretty much around the clock, so a good pair of earbuds is essential. If you’ve been eyeing a new pair of noise-cancelling earbuds, but didn’t want to spend a fortune, this half-off deal on the Beats Studio Buds+ is a great time to grab a new pair. Instead of shelling out $170 for the earbuds, Woot is selling them for just $80, the best price we’ve ever seen for these buds. When we reviewed the Beats Studio Buds+, we gave them a four-star rating and appreciated the excellent battery life, improved ANC, and stellar quality. We also loved the “playful” transparent design and good seal that stayed in our ears through intense workouts. You’ll also get hands-free Siri and easy iPhone pairing, but since these are Beats rather than AirPods, they’ll work just as well with an Android phone. At $80, these Beats earbuds are an immediate buy, so hurry up to Woot and add this to your cart. Woot deals are only around until stock runs out or the timer expires on the deal, so be sure to act fast if you want a pair. Grab these Beats earbuds for half offBuy now at Woot

Forget Liquid Glass, Apple TV's new logo was shot with actual glass
The newly rebranded Apple TV has a five-second visual sting, and every frame was shot in a studio with live lights and practical glass lettering.Getting the glass Apple TV logo ready for filming — image credit: AdAgeApple has been mocked for dropping the plus from its Apple TV+ name because it means having to specify if you mean the streamer, the set top box, or the app. But the rebrand comes with a new animated logo — except it isn't animated.The Apple logo and the "tv" letters are instead large cutout pieces of glass that were mounted in a studio.

Some Mac retailers offer great discounts on Apple products and Apple accessories, so you should be able to save a few hundred pounds off some iMac configurations. Beware, though. The Mac listed by the reseller may be an older model than the one Apple currently sells. We’ve seen resellers advertising Macs with money off based on the price they were previously sold at by Apple, even after Apple has started selling a newer Mac at the same price – so the deal often looks better than it actually is. So be careful to check the age and spec of the machine being sold, and don’t automatically assume that it’s current. To get an idea of what the old model should be worth, take a look at Apple’s refurbished store to see what Apple is selling the older version for (and remember that buying from Apple, even if it’s refurbished, will mean you get a full year’s warranty). And for another way to save money on a new Apple product read about how you can trade in old products at Apple and other resellers and get money off.
