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 officially kicked off on Friday, but many of the best deals will last until Cyber Monday on December 1. Every retailer that sells Apple gear gets in on the fun, and we are rounding up only the best deals we find right here. We regularly check prices using various tools to get a view of the very best prices right now, compared to what they were over the past days, weeks, and months, so we know an excellent deal when we see it. We’re checking and updating these prices all weekend, so mark this page and return often so you don’t miss a good deal, some of which are short-lived.

The bottom line is that there are lots of deals to be found right now, so no matter what Apple device you’re looking for, you will be able to make a saving. So take a look at the deals on all of Apple’s products below. Also, check our Best Picks round-ups, where you can find reviews of all the products we recommend. How we pick the best Apple deals At Macworld we’ve been covering and reviewing Apple and Apple devices for more than 40 years, from the original Macintosh to the most recent M5 MacBook Pro and iPhone 17 lineup. We use Apple products every day and purchase them with our own money, so we know a good deal when we see one. More importantly, we also know how to spot a bad deal. With a working knowledge of everything Apple sells and decades of experience, we know when stores are inflating prices or pushing “normal” sales as limited Black Friday deals, so the listings you see here will only be for discounts that are at or near all-time low prices. Macworld Black Friday Tip: While shopping during the Black Friday sales we’ve noticed that on Amazon if you delay your delivery date there are additional 3% savings to be had in the U.S. (2% in the U.K.)! This doesn’t apply to every Apple product, unfortunately, but we have seen the additional 3% applied to AirTags, and if you have lots of other eligible products in your shopping cart then it can add up to a decent saving. 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, but it’s a great one, as we said in our 4.5-star review, and right now you can get $250 off all the 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro at Amazon, taking it $50 lower than Thursday and down to the lowest price we have seen. However, even though the new model brings a major boost in GPU and SSD performance, we also loved the M4 model, and you can get an amazing $300 off the M4 MacBook Pro at Amazon. There are also some excellent deals on the even more powerful MacBook Pro M4 Pro and M4 Max, which are full on workstations now at amazingly low prices, such as $300 off the 14-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro at Amazon, and a whopping $500 off the 16-inch M4 Max MacBook Pro, also at Amazon. You can find more deals below. And, of course, the MacBook Air is a fantastic option for just about anyone, earning an extremely rare 5-star score in our testing. You can get $250 off the MacBook Air at Amazon. U.K. shoppers don’t miss out either, with £184 off a 13-inch MacBook Air at Amazon. £200 off the M5 MacBook Pro at KRCS, and £349 off the M4 Pro MacBook Pro at Amazon.

We loved the new Mac mini design and M4 chip and there is $120 off at Amazon. The Mac mini M4 Pro version is a great low-cost way to get a really powerful Mac, and with $150 off it’s a good saving (but it was $200 earlier in the Black Friday sale). We don’t know when 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. U.K. users should take advantage of £100 off the Mac mini, and £130 off the Mac mini pro.

We gave them a near-perfect score in our review, but also noted that it’s a relatively small upgrade over the AirPods Pro 2, which has the same H2 chip and many similar features. The new model has the same $249 MSRP in the U.S. and a slightly lower £219 RRP in the U.K. (AirPods Pro 2 were £229), so keep that in mind when shopping. We don’t expect to see AirPods Pro 3 with more than $30-$50 off, but the older AirPods Pro 2 did dip as low as $139 at Walmart, but that deal seems to have ended now, the next best option is $189 on Amazon. The AirPods 4 have been out for over a year, but are still a fantastic pair of earbuds. The Black Friday deals of $69 for AirPods 4 was superb, but stock seems to have run out now (check to see if the model is user). You can still get AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation for less than $100, which is an excellent deal. If you need a pair, grab one, just beware that AirPods deals sell out quickly, but do keep checking because stock seems to come and go. See more U.S. AirPods deals below. 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. Petter Ahrnstedt U.S. Amazon, AirPods Pro 3: $220 ($29 off, MSRP $249) Amazon, AirPods Pro 2: $189 ($10 off, MSRP was $249, now $199) Amazon, AirPods 4: $69 ($60 off, MSRP $129) OUT OF STOCK BEWARE OF USED MODELS* Amazon, AirPods 4 (with ANC): $140 ($39 off, MSRP $179) Amazon, 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) Amazon, AirPods Max: £449 (£50 off, RRP £499) Apple, £20 gift voucher with AirPods 4 or ANC Apple, £40 gift voucher with AirPods Pro 3 Black Friday Apple Watch deals 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. As we noted in our review, we don’t think Series 9 or 10 users need to upgrade. We are seeing savings of $60 on the Series 11, which is a great price for such a full-featured watch, but with $150 off the Series 10 you might want to consider that, you won’t miss out on much (See our comparison of every Apple Watch). The sleeper hit of the new Apple Watch lineup is the SE 3, which got the biggest update of all three models, gaining an always-on display, temperature sensor, a faster chip, on-device Siri, and fast charging. We gave it a near-perfect score of 4.5 stars and highly recommend it at full price—for $50 off, it’s a no-brainer decision. At the high end, the Ultra 3 has a slightly larger screen, satellite connectivity, and longer battery life compared to last year’s model. We’ve seen $150 off, but if you want one, we’d recommend this $599 deal on the Ultra 2 instead. U.S. Amazon, Apple Watch Series 11 (42mm): $339 ($60 off, MSRP $399) Amazon, Apple Watch Series 11 (46mm): $369 ($60 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 we anticipate that they will improve once Black Friday is here. And if they don’t our advice would be to snap up Apple’s 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 Black Friday iPad deals Apple updated the iPad Air with an M3 chip and the iPad Pro with an M5 chip this year. Neither update brings any huge reason to upgrade, but they’re both excellent tablets. It comes down to preference and budget—if you’re largely using your tablet for consumption (streaming, surfing, games), get an Air, for which we are seeing prices cut by $150, but if you have real work to do on it, get the Pro: you can get $100 off the M5 iPad Pro in the U.S. which is a great deal on such a new device. The mini hasn’t had a meaningful update in a couple of generations. But as we noted in our review, it’s still the best tablet for its size and a great option for anyone who values ultra portability over screen size. There’s a decent $100 off. The standard entry-level iPad A16 is an absolute steal at its Black Friday price of $274, but stock is dwindling, so if you want one act fast. Foundry U.S. Amazon, iPad (A16, 256GB): $274 ($75 off, MSRP $349) Amazon, iPad mini (A17 Pro, 128GB): $399 ($100 off, MSRP $499) Amazon, 11-inch M3 iPad Air (128GB): $449 ($150 off, MSRP $599) Amazon, 13-inch M3 iPad Air (128GB): $649 ($150 off, MSRP $799) Amazon, 11-inch M5 iPad Pro (256GB): $899 ($100 off, MSRP $999) Amazon, 13-inch M5 iPad Pro (256GB): $1,199 ($100 off, MSRP $1,299) Apple, $100 gift card with iPad Air Apple, $50 gift card with iPad and iPad mini Amazon, 11-inch M4 iPad Pro (512GB): $1,099 ($100 off, MSRP $1,199)* Amazon, 13-inch M4 iPad Pro (256GB): $1,199 ($100 off, MSRP $1,299)* U.K. We’re seeing a great £100 saving on the iPad Air, but the deals on the other iPads in the U.K. aren’t as big as they are in the U.S. The M5 iPad Pro only has a small saving, so right now we are looking at the older models to get a better discount. With that in mind, we’d recommend the M4 iPad Pro if you can find one (it’s £206 off at Amazon, but selling out fast). KRCS, 11-inch M5 iPad Pro (128GB): £979.02 (£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 (A16, 256GB): £399 (£30 off, RRP £429) Amazon, iPad mini (A17 Pro, 128GB): £449 (£50 off, RRP £499) Amazon, 11-inch iPad Air (M3, 128GB): £499 (£100 off, RRP £599) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Amazon, 11-inch iPad Air (M3, 256GB): £579 (£100 off, RRP £699) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Amazon, 13-inch iPad Air (M3, 256GB): £799 (£100 off, RRP £899) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Amazon, 11-inch M4 iPad Pro (1TB): £1,593 (£206 off, RRP £1,199) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Apple, £80 gift voucher with iPad Air Apple, £40 gift voucher with iPad and iPad mini Black Friday Apple TV deals Apple has a great deal on for Black Friday that will run through to December 1, 2025. You can subscribe for six months for just $5.99/£4.99 a month! That’s half price! Get Apple TV for $5.99 a month Get Apple TV for £4.99 a month There is also an Amazon Prime Video deal gets you 6 months of Apple TV for $5.99/£4.99 per month, instead of the usual $12.99. Read more here: Get Apple TV for just $6 per month. Black Friday iPhone deals David Price / Foundry Most iPhone deals in the U.S. are through carriers and require a trade-in or adding a new line. Carriers will likely have enticing deals with trade-ins as well, but be wary of long-term contracts and terms. One opportunity worth considering is Apple’s Black Friday deal: You can buy an iPhone from Apple and get a gift voucher: Apple, $75 gift voucher with iPhone 16 or 16 Plus Apple, $50 gift voucher with iPhone 16e 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. Apple only launched the iPhone 17 lineup in September, so it’s a surprise that we are seeing £100 off the iPhone Air. The iPhone 16e also has £100 off at Amazon: a good saving. 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. 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. These are the best deals we’ve seen so far: Amazon, iPhone Air (256GB): £899.10 (£100 off, RRP £999) Amazon, iPhone 16e (128GB): £499 (£100 off, RRP £599) Amazon, iPhone 16e (256GB): £599 (£100 off, RRP £699) Amazon, iPhone 16e (512GB): £799 (£100 off, RRP £899) AO, iPhone 16 Pro (128GB): £899 (£100 off, RRP was £999) Apple, £60 gift voucher with iPhone 16 or 16 Plus Apple, £40 gift voucher with iPhone 16e 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, we are keeping track of everything so you can grab a discount this Black Friday. It’s a great time to grab a pack of AirTags, with prices dropping to $65 or £74 for a pack of four of Apple’s tracking devices. And we are seeing some nice price cuts on Apple Pencils (just make sure they work with your iPad first). The Apple Pencil Pro ($34 off/£20 off) is the newest model and is compatible with the iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPad mini.

How to watch ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ for free on Apple TV
Macworld Christmas season is here, and there are lots of ways to get into the spirit of the season. One way is to watch a Christmas special on TV, and one of the best is A Charlie Brown Christmas. For decades, it aired on broadcast TV, but that’s no longer the case–it’s now an Apple TV exclusive. Now, the fact that this institution is on a streaming service may cause you to exclaim, “Bah! Humbug!” and send Apple a stocking full of coal, but stop, sip some egg nog, and relax–yes, I’m talking about you, Uncle Fred. Apple is making A Charlie Brown Christmas available to anyone to watch for free, for a limited time. If you are an Apple TV subscriber, however, you can watch it anytime. How to watch A Charlie Brown Christmas for free on Apple TV On December 13 and 14, anyone with an Apple ID can watch A Charlie Brown Christmas. Anyone who owns an Apple device has an Apple ID, but if you don’t, Apple IDs are free and you don’t need a credit card to sign up. Once you have signed up, you can watch in several ways: Through the TV app on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac. On smart TVs with the Apple TV app. On the web at tv.apple.com. On an Apple TV device. Apple has all the classic Peanuts specials for the holiday season that used to air over broadcast TV. There is one more holiday special left for the season, Happy New Year, Charlie Brown, but it doesn’t seem likely that it will be made available for free. In case you missed them and your holiday season isn’t complete without watching them, you can watch It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving on Apple TV–but they aren’t free anymore. You need to have an Apple TV subscription. Years ago, Apple acquired the rights to the Peanuts cartoon series that stars Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, Lucy, and other memorable characters. Since then, Apple has aired new Peanuts shows such as The Snoopy Show and Snoopy in Space, and new movies, including Peanuts in Space: Secrets of Apollo 10, Lucy’s School, and It’s the Small Things, Charlie Brown. The Apple TV subscription television streaming service is $9.99/£9.99 per month and can be renewed annually for $99/£99. Apple TV is also included in the Apple One subscription bundles, which include other Apple services, such as Apple Music, Apple News+, and iCloud storage. Apple One bundles are priced between $19.95/£19.95 and $37.95/£37.95 per month. There are ways to get Apple TV+ for free, though–see: All the ways you can get Apple TV for free. For more information about Apple TV, read our Apple TV FAQ. We also have a detailed list of current Apple TV shows and upcoming shows.

If you want an iPad at Amazon’s $274 Black Friday blowout, act fast–stock is running out
Macworld Apple’s A16 iPad is a great deal when it drops to $300, but Amazon’s Black Friday sale is a downright steal: You can get the A16 iPad with 128GB of storage for just $274—an impressive $75 savings and the best price we’ve seen yet. But you’ll have to settle for blue or silver, as pink and yellow. It might be missing the perks you get with the Air and Pro, but the A16 iPad is an excellent tablet. It features a stunning 11-inch display and a sleek design available in four colors we absolutely love: silver, yellow, blue, and pink. Pair it with a USB-C Apple Pencil for just $49 ($30 off), and you’ve got a full-featured tablet. In our 4-star review, we loved the battery life, speedy processor, and 128GB of storage space, and noted that this tablet has everything you could need for your everyday needs. Well, almost everything. The A16 iPad is Apple’s only tablet that doesn’t support Apple Intelligence, but we don’t think you’ll really miss it. So if you’re looking for a new iPad, go grab this deal on the A16 iPad and save $75 for the first time ever. But hurry up because we don’t know how much longer stock will last.

Kingston Dual Portable SSD review: Pocket-friendly SSD provides good performance
Macworld At a glanceExpert's Rating Pros Dual USB-A, USB-C interfaces Pocket-size design Good USB performance Cons No Thunderbolt support No additional software Our Verdict It’s a little more expensive than a conventional SSD, but the Dual Portable SSD manages to combine good performance with an ultra-portable design, making it a great option for Time Machine backups when travelling with your MacBook. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Price When ReviewedFrom $97 Best Prices Today: Kingson Dual Portable SSD Retailer Price $96.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket Thumb drives and memory sticks are a compact and convenient way of carrying around small amounts of data and files, but they tend to offer lower performance than solid-state drives, as well as more limited storage capacity too. This means that thumb drives aren’t ideal for handling larger files, or for making regular Time Machine backups on your Mac. However, Kingston’s new Dual Portable SSD offers the best of both worlds, combining the compact design of a thumb drive with the speed and capacity of an SSD. In fact, the Dual Portable SSD is so small that Kingston refers to it as an SSD “camouflaged as a thumb drive”. It certainly looks the part, with a compact rectangular design that measures just 72mm long, 21mm wide and a mere 8.6mm thick. It’s about the same size as the Kingston 64GB thumb drive that I often use for quick file transfers in my office, but is far faster and has much greater storage capacity. You can easily slip it into your pocket when you’re travelling, and it only weighs 13g so you’ll barely notice it as you carry it around. It’s sturdy though, with a bright red metal casing that feels solid enough to cope with life on the road. Kingston doesn’t quote an IP rating for weather resistance, so you should probably avoid getting it wet if possible, but the company is confident enough to provide a five-year warranty and the drive should be more than tough enough to cope with general day-to-day use. Dual USB interfaces allow you to instantly connect the drive to most computers and mobile devices. Kingston Technology Dual Drive Most SSDs use a conventional USB cable to connect to your computers or mobile devices but, like a thumb drive, the Dual Portable SSD has a USB interface that is built right into the body of the drive. Or, to be precise, it has ‘dual’ interfaces – hence the name – with a USB-A interface on one end of the drive and USB-C on the other end. That ensures compatibility with a wide range of computers and mobile devices, although when plugged in to a USB-C port on my MacBook Pro the width of the drive did mean that it obscured the adjacent USB-C port on the MacBook, which might be inconvenient if you have other USB devices, such as a keyboard or mouse, that you need to plug in as well. We were also a little concerned about the small plastic covers that protect the USB connectors on the drive, as these come right off and could easily be lost if you’re moving around a lot. The drive performs well, though. It doesn’t support Thunderbolt, relying instead on USB 3.2 Gen 2, but Kingston quotes speeds of 950MB/s for write performance and 1,050MB/s for read performance. Our tests with the BlackMagic Disk Speed Test showed that the write speed right was on the nail at 950MB/s. The read performance was slightly slower at 920MB/s but that should still be fine for general day-to-day use when transferring files, or for routine Time Machine backups on your Mac.  The drive’s metal case keeps it safe on the road, with removable caps to protect the USB interfaces. Kingston Technology The ultra-compact design does come at a cost, though, and the Dual Portable SSD is a little more expensive than other SSD drives that we’ve reviewed recently, including Kingston’s slightly larger XS1000. Prices start at $125.89/£87.41 for a drive with 512GB storage, although we tested the 1TB version that costs $143.99/£128.31. There’s also a 2TB option available as well, for $238.99/£211.93. There’s no software provided with the drive either. Kingston does make an app called SSD Manager, which provides basic features for monitoring the drive’s health and performance, but this is currently only available for Windows PCs. That’s not a problem for Mac users who can use Apple’s Disk Utility and Time Machine to provide diagnostic and back-up features. However, some users might require a drive that includes an app that provides password protection for their files, as some of Kingston’s rivals do.  Should You Buy The Dual Portable SSD Professional users might prefer a faster drive that supports Thunderbolt to provide maximum performance for large graphics or video files, but the USB performance of the Dual Portable SSD is more than adequate for routine tasks such as file transfer and Time Machine backups. Its compact and sturdy design also makes it an ideal option for people who need a backup drive that they can quickly slip into their pocket when travelling.
