How we choose these iPhone deals We track prices at major U.S. and U.K. retailers and carriers and feature the best deals on current models (no old iPhones) that at least match Apple’s own Black Friday offer (up to $75/£60 gift card with the iPhone 16, or $50/£40 with iPhone 16e). We only feature deals from trusted retailers and carriers, and ensure we read the fine print so there aren’t any tricks. The deals are reviewed often to make sure they are still available, with expired or sold-out models annotated or removed. iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro: Are there deals? In the U.S. the networks will offer you various incentives to sign up for an iPhone 17 or 17 Pro/Pro Max: AT&T does have a Black Friday exclusive on the iPhone Air where you can get it for less than $3 a month. Verizon‘s Black Friday deal includes an iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPad and Apple Watch Series 11. T-Mobile‘s Black Friday deal is a saving on a iPhone 17 Pro, iPad A16 and Apple Watch SE 3 bundle, details here. In the U.K. there are no discounts on the price of the iPhone 17 or 17 Pro/Pro Max, but you can save £100 on the price of the iPhone Air. Amazon, iPhone Air (256GB): £899 (£100 off, RRP £999) The best savings are on the iPhone 16e which we detail below. You should also consider Apple’s offer of Gift Vouchers with purchases of the iPhone 16e, 16 and 16 Plus. Best U.S. iPhone deals for Black Friday/Cyber Monday 2025 Grab an iPhone this Black Friday.Eugen Wegmann These are Apple’s iPhone offers for Black Friday: $75 gift card with iPhone 16 or 16 Plus $50 gift card with iPhone 16e Best U.S. iPhone carrier deals for Black Friday/Cyber Monday 2025 In the U.S., most of the deals come from carriers and carry a bunch of strings—trade-in requirements, new lines, and discounts offered as bill credits over two or three years: AT&T: You can get up to $1,100 off the iPhone 17 Pro when you trade in an eligible iPhone. The savings transform into monthly credits on your bill for the next 36 months. AT&T also has a Black Friday exclusive on the iPhone Air where you can get it for less than $3 a month. T-Mobile: The carrier offers the iPhone 17 or iPhone 17 Pro or iPhone Air for free if you either switch to T-Mobile or trade in a qualifying phone, as long as you’re on a qualifying Experience Beyond plan. The phone is paid through 24 monthly bill credits. T-Mobile’s Black Friday deal is a saving on a iPhone 17 Pro, iPad A16 and Apple Watch SE 3 bundle, details here. Verizon: Get an iPhone 17 or iPhone 17 Pro free with trade in and certain Unlimited plans. This phone is paid through 36 monthly bill credits. Verizon’s Black Friday deal includes an iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPad and Apple Watch Series 11. U.S. Cellular: Up to $1,100 off iPhone 17 Pro (or any other iPhone) with a new line and qualifying plan. This phone is paid through 36 monthly bill credits. Xfinity Mobile: If you trade in a qualifying phone you can get up to $1,100 off a new iPhone 17 series model until Dec. 2. Paid as 24 monthly bill credits with a 24-month contract. Boost Mobile: You can get $850 off the price of the iPhone 17 with Boost’s $65 per month plan. Best U.K. iPhone deals for Black Friday/Cyber Monday 2025 David Price / Foundry These are Apple’s iPhone deals for Black Friday: £60 gift card with iPhone 16 or 16 Plus £40 gift card with iPhone 16e In the U.K., there are fewer 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. As long as you don’t mind the fact that this iPhone only has one rear camera, we recommend the £100 off iPhone 16e deal at Amazon, in particular the £599 deal on the 256GB model. The newest iPhone to get a cut-price deal is the iPhone Air, which has £30 off. Also be on the look out for deals (like this one from AO) on the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max which are no longer sold by Apple but would offer a good option to those who appreciate the extra camera on the Pro iPhone models but can’t stretch to the iPhone 17 Pro. Amazon, iPhone Air (256GB): £899 (£100 off, RRP £999) Amazon, iPhone 16e (128GB): £549 (£50 off, RRP £599) Amazon, iPhone 16e (256GB): £599 (£100 off, RRP £699) Amazon, iPhone 16e (512GB): £799 (£100 off, RRP £899) Amazon, iPhone 16 (128GB): £649 (£50 off, RRP £699) Apple, £60 gift voucher with iPhone 16 or 16 Plus Apple, £40 gift voucher with iPhone 16e We’d suggest that when it comes to the other deals you should weigh them up against Apple’s own giveaway, where you could get £60 or £40 vouchers with the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, or iPhone 16e, respectively. For example, £100 off an iPhone 16e is better than Apple’s £40 voucher, but AO’s £55 off iPhone 16 (128GB) doesn’t match Apple’s £60 voucher deal so it would be worth waiting to see it that goes lower. How to get the best iPhone deals for Black Friday 2025: Our Advice  Apple is offering a $75/£60 gift card with the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, and $50/£40 with the iPhone 16e, you should make sure that any offers you see beat those prices. Black Friday can be a good time to get a deal on an older iPhone, such as the iPhone 16 Pro or Pro Max which are now discontinued. These will be worth grabbing if you see them at a good price. iPhone 17: Apple only launched the iPhone 17 lineup in September so we don’t expect to see big discounts, other than the typical “free iPhone as bill credits over several years with a qualifying plan” deals that are always on offer in the U.S. iPhone 16: Shoppers should look out for discounts on the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, but note that Apple has already cut prices by $100/£100. Also note that Apple no longer sells the 512GB versions of these handsets, so if you find those models on sale at a good price we recommend buying them. Similarly, if you see the now discontinued, iPhone 16 Pro or Pro Max on sale at a good price then these would be a good purchase. iPhone 16e: The price of the iPhone 16e will likely drop. This is Apple’s ‘budget’ handset so it already has a low price though so don’t expect huge additional savings. We don’t recommend any iPhones older than the ones above, especially not the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus which are not Apple Intelligence compatible. iPhone headphones deals for Black Friday 2025 Foundry Many of the best deals are going to be on iPhone accessories—cases, chargers, cables, and the like. There are way too many such products to keep track of, and many small discounts come and go throughout the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale. We highlight only the most interesting bargains; products that are rarely discounted or exceptionally good prices on accessories we recommend.

Rather than discount its products, every year Apple holds a shopping event from Black Friday to Cyber Monday. Apple’s Black Friday ‘deal’ takes the form of gift card offers, rather than actual savings. This year, you can get an iPhone 16 or 16 Plus with a gift card worth $75/£60, or an iPhone 16e with a gift card worth $50/£40. The deals over the past few years show that Apple’s offer this year is right in line with the offers from previous years. We recommend the deal, especially in the U.S. where iPhones don’t tend to get price cuts. For U.K. readers the Apple voucher prices are a good indication as to how much money off an iPhone would be considered a good deal. 2025202420232022iPhone 16 & Plus$75–––iPhone 16e$50–––iPhone 15–$75––iPhone 14–$50$75–iPhone 13––$50$50iPhone SE–$25$25$50 Get Apple's Black Friday offer (U.S.) Get Apple's Black Friday offer (U.K.) Black Friday 2025: Best deals for Apple products Check out these roundups for the best Apple deals: Apple Black Friday sale details Best Black Friday Apple deals Best Black Friday MacBook & Mac deals Best Black Friday AirPods deals Best Black Friday Apple Watch deals Best Black Friday iPad deals

Is the iPhone Fold DOA a year before it even arrives?
Macworld Last week was another tough one for the beleaguered iPhone Air, whose commercial failure is now so widely accepted that even copycat products are getting pre-emptively canceled. According to industry sources, Chinese manufacturers, including Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo, have abandoned plans to launch Air-esque ultraslim phones and are now exploring other areas. Apple may currently be wishing it did the same. The Air’s errors–its Airrors, if you like–have been discussed numerous times on this website, so I will refrain from hashing them out again. Suffice it to say, Apple was wrong to assume that what customers really wanted was an amazingly thin and light phone, and that they would be prepared to pay a high price and compromise on camera and battery performance to get it. It just didn’t manage to read the room. There are several consolations for Apple amid this isolated failure. One is that the company as a whole continues to make extravagant amounts of money. Another is that the other new phones launched this fall, particularly the premium 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max, are selling just fine. But the silver lining most relevant to the iPhone Air is the juicy prospect of the iPhone Fold, currently expected to arrive next year. Most phone makers have had a foldable on the market for years; Samsung’s first Galaxy Fold launched way back in 2019, and it was followed by folding phones from Motorola, Google, Huawei, and others. But Apple has been biding its time, waiting for the moment and the available technology to be just right. In other words, it doesn’t want to launch a foldable until it can make one without a crease. Reports last week suggest Apple has indeed solved the crease problem, and is on the point of beginning mass production of the first-gen iPhone Fold. And if the Fold is a success, Apple could retrospectively vindicate the Air project, since the Air’s breakthroughs in chassis strength and battery design were always going to come in handy when it moved onto its folding follow-up. Apple was just a year ahead of itself. “Guess you guys aren’t ready for that yet,” Tim Cook might have said. “But your kids are gonna love it.” The question is this: has Apple learned its lesson? There’s certainly an appetite for foldables, but that doesn’t mean any foldable phone will automatically be a success. If you’d asked a random customer in September whether they liked the idea of a phone that was 2.5mm thinner and more than an ounce lighter than the iPhone 16 Pro, while still squeezing in a larger screen, I’m sure they would have said, “Yes, please!” But it’s the small print, the monkey’s paw repercussions, which make all the difference. Would we like a foldable iPhone? Yes please. But what’s the catch? The iPhone Fold may suffer from some or all of the Air’s limitations, because its two folding halves will need to each be similarly ultraslim in order to make the folded device acceptably pocketable. But that’s not necessarily a dealbreaker. Where the Air weakened the camera and battery for the sake of aesthetics, the Fold’s sacrifices will be in the name of achieving a genuinely useful functional upgrade. I think many Apple fans would take that deal. Here’s the catch. If you look again at that report linked above, it includes a prediction that the iPhone Fold will start at an eyewatering $2,399. Let’s just pause for a moment to give everyone who fainted a chance to get their breath back. Feeling better? So anyway, $2,399… oh dear, they’ve gone again. A while back, we posted an article discussing the idea that the iPhone Fold would be essentially two iPhone Airs in a trench coat. Our main concern was that this would be too thick. But there was also the danger that the iPhone Fold would cost the same as two iPhone Airs–an alarming prospect. And now we hear it’ll actually cost the same as two iPhone Airs and an Apple Watch Series 11. Once again, Apple is determined to test how much we want the thing we’ve asked for, and I fear it will again get the answer, “Not that much.” Of course, this is only a rumor. Based on other sources the iPhone Fold might cost as little as $2,000. Then again, it might cost as much as $2,500. If you’re hoping for the Fold to cost less than two Airs, you’re probably going to be disappointed. And I fear that, unless it makes more of an effort to understand what phone buyers actually care about, and how much they’re prepared to pay and sacrifice to obtain it, Apple will be disappointed too.

We call it Apple Breakfast because we think it goes great with a Monday morning cup of coffee or tea, but it’s cool if you want to give it a read during lunch or dinner hours too. Trending: Top stories Reports of Tim Cook’s demise are greatly exaggerated, says the Macalope. Mahmoud Itani lists 9 essential iPad accessories to unleash your tablet’s full powers. iPhone Air is such a flop even copycat products are reportedly being canceled.

The rumor mill Folding iPhone on track to launch next year with wild $2,399 price tag, reports claim. iPad mini may be on track to get a display upgrade before the iPad Air, weirdly. iOS 27 could be Mac OS X Snow Leopard all over again.

Best AirPods Cyber Monday deals 2025: Get Black Friday AirPods Pro deals before it’s too late
Macworld Best AirPods Deals Available Now for Cyber Monday! Cyber Monday is here with one last burst of deals. These are the best prices we are seeing right now: Today’s best AirPods deals: U.S. $50 off AirPods 4 at Walmart $80 off AirPods 4 with ANC at Amazon $150 off AirPods Max at Walmart $50 gift voucher with AirPods Pro 3 at Apple Today’s best AirPods deals: U.K. £30 off AirPods Pro 2 at Argos £20 off AirPods 4 at Amazon £20 off AirPods 4 (with ANC) at Amazon Prices checked on December 1: Deals change quickly during Cyber Monday, so we will update this page throughout the day. Black Friday may be over, but Cyber Monday is here, and AirPods are still on sale for all-time low prices. The best deals will only last until midnight, so if you want a pair of AirPods, it is an excellent time to buy. We’ve seen some great deals already, including $79 off the AirPods 4 with ANC. AirPods Pro 3 are $30 off, which is their first significant discount. Both Amazon and Walmart have dropped the price of the AirPods Pro 2, but stock has now run out – we did see prices drop to a staggering $138, but that now seems to have ended and they are back to $199. In the U.K., we’ve seen the AirPods Pro 2 down to £169 at Argos and Amazon, but they frequently go out of stock. You can also find the best deals on alternatives to the AirPods, including Beats headphones, which are made by Apple and have many of the same AirPods innovations. You should also check out our roundup of the Best Cyber Monday Apple deals for this year. Also, check our Best Picks round-ups where you can see reviews of all the products we recommend, and especially our round-up of the best earbuds for iPhone users. How we pick AirPods deals At Macworld, we’ve tested every model of AirPods that Apple sells and have used them extensively in our daily lives. We have an extensive historical knowledge of historical prices and all-time lows, and only spotlight the best deals we find. Our team checks prices across Amazon and other major retailers several times a day and only highlights the verified low prices at the time of our latest update. Since there are just four models of AirPods, we’ll list the best price we can find for each, but we will let you know when a particular model hits an all-time low. Best Cyber Monday/Black Friday 2025 AirPods & AirPods Pro deals The Black Friday sales are incredible time to pick up a new pair of AirPods, but you have to be quick because they end today: Cyber Monday! AirPods 4 (with and without ANC) and AirPods Pro 3 have hit all at all-time low prices, and are significantly lower than we’ve previously seen. The Black Friday deal of $69 for AirPods 4 was mind-blowing, but it seems to have ended now, as we are only seeing used models. Unfortunately, the great deal on the older AirPods Pro 2, which were $139 at Walmart also seems to have run out, but AirPods Max have dropped under $400, so it’s a good time to grab a pair if you want one. U.K. readers can save money on the AirPods Pro 2, currently at £169 with Argos, but we’ve also seen them at that price on Amazon (but they go out of stock quickly!). Right now you can also get £20 off the AirPods 4, bringing the price under £100. See more U.K. AirPods deals below.. Apple’s Black Friday AirPods deal is a gift card worth $75/£60 with AirPods Max, $25/£20 gift voucher with AirPods Pro, and $25/£20 with AirPods 4. The deals we are seeing mostly beat Apple’s deal, which we’ve tracked over the past few years (see the values offered from 2022-2025 below), but the vouchers may be a better option if you are U.K. based as the discounts are smaller. U.S. Amazon, AirPods Pro 3: $220 ($29 off, MSRP $249) Amazon, AirPods Pro 2: $189 ($10 off, MSRP was $249, now $199) Walmart, AirPods 4: $79 ($50 off, MSRP $129) Amazon, AirPods 4 (with ANC): $99 ($80 off, MSRP $179) Walmart, AirPods Max: $400 ($149 off, MSRP $549) Apple, $25 gift card with AirPods 4 or ANC Apple, $50 gift card with AirPods Pro 3 U.K. Amazon, AirPods 4: £99 (£20 off, RRP £119) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Amazon, AirPods 4 (with ANC): £149 (£20 off, RRP £169) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Argos, AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C case): £169 (£30 off, new RRP £199) Amazon, AirPods Pro 3: £219 (£0 off, RRP £219) Apple, £20 gift voucher with AirPods 4 or ANC Apple, £40 gift voucher with AirPods Pro 3 Other headphone deals for Cyber Monday/Black Friday 2025 If it doesn’t have to be AirPods, take a look at these deals we’ve seen.

Here’s what to look out for: AirPods 4: Apple’s cheapest AirPods weren’t updated in 2025, and we’ve seen prices falling all year. Over Black Friday, they dropped to $69 at Amazon, but that deal is gone. Walmart still has them for $79, however, AirPods 4 with ANC: Apple sells a version of the AirPods 4 with noise cancellation for an extra $50, and Black Friday sales dropped them all the way to $99, which is still going on for Cyber Monday. AirPods Pro 3: Apple just released the newest AirPods Pro 3 in September alongside the iPhone 17, so Amazon’s $30 price cut is about as good as it’s going to get until next year.. AirPods Max: Apple’s over-the-ear AirPods Max haven’t been updated in a meaningful way since 2020. They still have an H1 chip, don’t support Apple’s latest AirPods Pro features, and have a very high price tag compared to similar wireless headphones. If you want a pair, you can grab them for $400 at Walmart Does Apple discount AirPods for Black Friday?

Also, check our Best Picks round-ups, where you can see reviews of all the products we rate as a good purchase. And if you aren’t sure which watch to buy, read our comparison of every Apple Watch. How we pick the best Apple Watch deals for Black Friday/Cyber Monday We’ve tested every Apple Watch model that Apple has ever sold, and wear them in our daily lives. We regularly check Apple Watch prices from all the retailers and have an extensive historical knowledge of historical prices and all-time lows. Therefore, we know when we find a really good deal on a really good product, and we will share it here. Right now our team is checking prices across Amazon and other major retailers several times a day and highlighting the verified low prices at the time of our latest update. We also evaluate deal prices against the current MSRP/RRP for each model and spot any discrepancies that might be missed when looking at the price of older models to help our readers avoid scams. When it comes to deciding what actually constitutes a good deal, we would look for roughly $50 to $70 off the current models for U.S. buyers, while in the U.K., we rarely find more than £30 off. Best Apple Watch deals for Cyber Monday/Black Friday 2025 Want to get a bargain on a new Apple Watch? These are the best deals we’ve seen so far. Check out our advice below this section for tips on what to look out for. U.S. You can now save $70 on the new Apple Watch Series 11 at Amazon, that’s $10 more than yesterday! But there is also $150 off the older model, which isn’t all that different (the two new health features, hypertension alerts, and Sleep Score, are also available on the Series 10), so definitely worth your attention. We gave the Apple Watch SE 3 a near-perfect score of 4.5 stars and highly recommend it at full price—for $50 off, it’s a no-brainer decision. There’s only $20 off the Ultra 3, so it’s probably worth waiting a little longer on that one to see if prices drop again. Amazon, Apple Watch Series 11 (42mm): $339 ($60 off, MSRP $399) Amazon, Apple Watch Series 11 (46mm): $359 ($70 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: $699 ($100 off, MSRP $799) Apple, $50 gift card with Apple Watch SE 3 and Series 11 Walmart, Apple Watch Series 10 (46mm): $279 ($150 off, $429 MSRP) Amazon, Apple Watch Ultra 2: $599 ($200 off, MSRP $799) CYBER MONDAY DEAL U.K. In the U.K. the deals are small on the newest Apple Watch models, but they have improved a little over the Black Friday weekend – we’ve seen Amazon drop the price of the Watch SE 3 further, so it’s now £20 off. If prices don’t drop further, our advice would be to snap up Apple’s Black Friday offer, which will get you a £40 gift card. The biggest deals on offer right now are on the older models. We’d recommend Argos’s £200 off the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Curry’s £130 off the Apple Watch Series 10. Just keep in mind that in the U.K., Apple cut the Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra 3 prices by £30 and £50 compared to the previous generation when they were introduced. Keep this in mind when shopping, because some stores might make savings appear to be larger than they actually are. Amazon, Apple Watch Ultra 3: £719 (£30 off, RRP £749) Amazon, Apple Watch SE 3 (40mm): £199 (£20 off, RRP £219) Amazon, Apple Watch SE 3 (44mm): £229 (£20 off, RRP £249) Argos, Apple Watch Ultra 2: £599 (£200 off, RRP was £799, Ultra 3 is £749) Currys, Apple Watch Series 10 (42mm): £279 (£120 off, was £399, Series 11 is £369) Currys, Apple Watch Series 10 (46mm): £299 (£130 off, was £429, Series 11 is £399) Apple, £40 gift voucher with Apple Watch SE 3 and Series 11 How to get the best Apple Watch deals for Cyber Monday/Black Friday 2025: Our advice Like always, Apple sells three watches, but for the first time in years, all three models were updated this year. Apple Watch Series 11: The standard Apple Watch Series 11 starts at the same price as previous watches ($399/£369) and is largely the same as the Series 10. The main upgrade is better battery life (24 hours vs 18 hours), 5G connectivity (on cellular models), and better scratch resistance. We’re spotlighting a deal on the Series 10 for $120 off and recommend grabbing it instead of paying more for the Series 11. Apple Watch Ultra 3: The Apple Watch Ultra 3 ($799/£749) has a slightly larger screen, 5G connectivity, Emergency SOS via satellite, and significantly longer battery life (42 hours vs 36 hours). With prices already dropping by $100, we recommend picking up the newer model if you’re looking for a large, rugged watch. Apple Watch SE 3: Apple updated the Apple Watch SE for the first time in years and gave it several overdue features, including an always-on display, skin temperature sensor, gestures, 5G (on cellular models), a faster chip, and fast charging. With the same $249/£219 starting price, an older SE 2 would need to be around $100 to be worth it. Cyber Monday deals have pushed the price of the SE 3 under $200, and we think it’s a fantastic option for just about anyone. For detailed advice on selecting the best model for you, check out our Apple Watch buying guide. Cyber Monday/Black Friday Apple Watch deals: What to avoid Spot bad deals: It’s important to be aware that Black Friday brings bad deals as well as good ones. Retailers don’t want to give you a great deal; they want you to buy their unwanted stock at a high price and will use all sorts of tricks to persuade you to do so. Don’t let them get away with it. Check the real pricing: Always check the current MSRP/RRP for the watch you’re planning to buy (we include these with all of our recommended deals). In the U.K. Apple dropped prices on the new set of Watches when they were introduced, but retailers will conveniently forget to mention this and quote the old price instead. That makes their discount look bigger and the deal more appealing. Some retailers also raise their own prices ahead of Black Friday, then drop them back down and claim a large saving. Price tracker sites like CamelCamelCamel can help you to work out if this has happened. We will also flag it if we see it. Read about the product: It’s worth checking reviews and buying guides (such as ours, linked above) to assess the age and worth of the device. Make sure you’re not being fobbed off with antiquated stock. Also, watch out for deals on the cellular models; these can look like big savings, but in our experience, there is little point in owning a cellular Apple Watch. You might as well pay less and get the standard model. Does Apple discount Apple Watches for Black Friday? Apple doesn’t drop prices for Black Friday. Rather, it gives away gift cards when you buy certain items. For Apple’s Black Friday deal in 2025, it is giving away $50/£40 gift cards with Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Series 11 purchases made on Apple’s U.S. site or Apple’s U.K. site. The Series 10 wasn’t included in 2024’s sale, so the fact that the Apple Watch 11 is included this year is a nice surprise. In many cases, especially in the U.K. where the price drops aren’t as big, the Apple Black Friday deal is a better option. Where to get Cyber Monday/Black Friday Apple Watch deals These retailers may offer Black Friday Apple Watch discounts: U.S. Apple – no direct discounts, just gift cards Amazon U.S. – widest range and often the deepest short-term discounts, but stock moves quickly Best Buy – wide range of deals on popular Apple products Costco – some deals on popular Apple products, watch out for restored and older models Target – some deals on popular Apple products Walmart – some deals on popular Apple products, watch out for restored and older models U.K. Apple – no direct discounts, just gift cards AO.com – grants larger discounts to AO members (£39.99 annually) Amazon U.K. – widest range and often the deepest short-term discounts, but stock moves quickly Argos – some discounts Currys – a mix of new a older models John Lewis – mostly current products, with a few older models KRCS – good selection, but not as many models as the Apple Store Very – good selection of deals Cyber Monday/Black Friday 2025: Best deals for Apple products Check out these roundups for the best Apple deals: Apple Cyber Monday sale details Best Cyber Monday Apple deals Best Cyber Monday MacBook & Mac deals Best Cyber Monday AirPods deals Best Cyber Monday iPad deals Best Cyber Monday iPhone deals

We loved the new Mac mini design and M4 chip and there is $120 off at Amazon, which we’d say is a great saving, especially if you don’t need a screen. The M4 Pro chip version is a great low-cost way to get a really powerful Mac mini and there’s $200 off, so we recommend jumping at any savings here. We don’t know if they will be getting M5 chips, but if they are, they won’t arrive until 2026, so we recommend picking up one of these deals if you’re looking for a Mac desktop.

If we spot any, we’ll cover them in our guide to the best Cyber Monday Apple deals. Cyber Monday/Black Friday 2025: Top shopping tips We tend to find that the biggest savings are on older models, but be aware that these aren’t always the best value for money. Check the generation of the model that is discounted to make sure you know exactly what you are buying and what it’s really worth. We’ve seen resellers switch to selling refurbished or used when the stock of brand-new models run out, so check that the model discounted isn’t actually a used Mac and therefore not as good a deal as it might look. That’s not to say you should avoid refurb models; you just need to make sure that you aren’t buying something used when you want a new model. Mac deals aren’t limited to Black Friday. We see good deals all year round, so don’t feel pressured into buying during Black Friday. How to get the best MacBook deals for Cyber Monday/Black Friday 2025: Our advice Foundry Apple updated nearly all of its MacBook models in 2025, and we expect to see all-time-low pricing on many models and configurations. M4 MacBook Air: released this past March with a $100 price cut. The base model is $999 and can be found for $750/£849 during Cyber Monday. M4 Pro/Max MacBook Pro: released in 2024 and are still excellent machines. Worth the investment when it’s $300/£250 or more off. M5 MacBook Pro: released in October, but we are already seeing discounts of $250 and £200. For more information about the differences and which MacBook might be best for you, read How the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro compare. How to get the best Mac deals for Cyber Monday/Black Friday 2025: Our advice Simon Jary / Foundry Apple hasn’t updated any of its consumer-level desktop Macs in 2025, so prices on the M4 models are as low as they’ve ever been: M4/M4 Pro Mac mini: Apple updated the Mac mini late last year with an M4 chip and a new design. The M4 Mac mini is a fantastic device with an extremely small footprint, so don’t hesitate to grab one at a discount, we’ve seen $200/£130 off. M4 iMac: The iMac has a 24-inch 4.5K display and a speedy M4 processor starting at $1,299. Look for sales below $1,150/£1,170 before you decide to buy one. Does Apple discount Macs for Black Friday? Apple doesn’t drop prices for Black Friday. Rather, it gives away gift cards when you buy certain items. For Apple’s Black Friday shopping event in 2025 it is giving away gift cards with MacBook Air, Mac mini, iMac and M4 Pro and M4 Max MacBook Pro purchases made on Apple’s U.S. site or Apple’s U.K. site. Since they are so new, the M5 MacBook Pro models aren’t included in Apple’s deal. The 2025 deal is pretty good. You can get a gift card for up to $250 on a new Mac, which is better than 2024’s maximum offer. 202520242023202215-inch MacBook Air$200$200$200n/a13-inch MacBook Air$175$175$175$15013-inch MacBook Air (M2)–$150$150$150Mac mini$100–$100$10014-inch & 16-inch MacBook Pro$250––$250iMac$150––$150 Buying from Apple means you are guaranteed to be buying the latest Mac, whereas other resellers may be clearing old stock.

It is already a more affordable alternative to Adobe Acrobat, and this Cyber Monday, the lifetime Premium Plan for Mac is just $79.97 (reg. $139.99). That is a one-time purchase for a full-featured PDF editor built specifically for macOS. Everything you need to manage PDFs without Adobe PDF Expert is fast, intuitive, and designed with Apple’s latest technologies in mind, so it feels smoother and lighter than traditional PDF tools. You can jump straight into editing text, correcting typos, adding images, inserting links, and marking up documents without the slow, heavy interfaces many editors rely on. You also get robust page organization, the ability to merge or split PDFs, and a full conversion engine that handles Word, Excel, PPT, JPG, PNG, TXT, and more. The OCR engine is particularly useful for turning scanned documents into searchable, highlightable text. It even includes tools to fix distortions and clean up low-quality scans. If you regularly sign contracts or fill out forms, the built-in signing tools make the process quick and clean. Redaction features let you safely remove sensitive information, and annotation tools cover everything from highlights to custom stamps. The lifetime license works across all your personal macOS devices and includes ongoing updates and bug fixes. With high ratings across the App Store, Capterra, PCWorld, and TechRadar, PDF Expert consistently ranks as one of the most trusted PDF editors for Mac. Adobe Acrobat now requires a subscription, so owning a full-featured PDF editor outright is harder to come by. Getting it at a Cyber Monday discount makes it even better. Get the PDF Expert Premium lifetime license for $79.97 while the Cyber Monday price lasts. PDF Expert Premium Plan: Lifetime Subscription (Mac)See Deal StackSocial prices subject to change.
