Deals change quickly during Black Friday weekend; we will update this page throughout the day and into Cyber Monday. The annual Black Friday extravaganza is always a fantastic time to buy an Apple Watch, with big savings from a wide variety of retailers. It officially started on Friday and runs through Cyber Monday, December 1. In this article, we will share all the best Apple Watch deals for Black Friday 2025. We have tools that we can use to check the prices everywhere, so we always know who has the best price and can share them here. We also share our advice about how to get the best deal on an Apple Watch, what to look out for, and what to avoid. If you want to know what other Apple products are discounted, check out our round up of the Best Black Friday 2025 Apple deals. 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 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 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 save $60 on the new Apple Watch Series 11 at Amazon, 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): $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 they have improved a little over the Black Friday weekend – we’ve just 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 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. Early Black Friday sales are already pushing 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. 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 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 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 iPad deals Best Black Friday iPhone deals

Best AirPods & AirPods Pro Black Friday deals 2025: The deals we’d buy
Macworld Best AirPods Deals Available Now for Black Friday and Cyber Monday! Black Friday deals are still on! These are the best prices we are seeing right now: Today’s best AirPods deals: U.S. $60 off AirPods 4 at Amazon OUT OF STOCK $39 off AirPods 4 with ANC at Amazon $150 off AirPods Max at Amazon $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 November 30: Deals change quickly during Black Friday weekend, so we will update this page throughout and into Cyber Monday. Black Friday, the yearly shopping event where everyone hunts for the biggest deals, has arrived yesterday, but at least some of the AirPods deals are continuing throughout Black Friday weekend. The deals will only last until Cyber Monday on December 1, 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, and Walmart had a great deal on the AirPods Pro 2 for $138, but that now seems to have ended. 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 Black Friday 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 Black Friday 2025 AirPods & AirPods Pro deals Black Friday 2025 is an incredible time to pick up a new pair of AirPods but you have to be quick! AirPods 4 (with and without ANC) and AirPods Pro 3 have hit all at all-time low prices, and 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 now is the time to grab a pair. 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.. 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) 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 Other headphone deals for 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 Prime Day, they dropped to $89 and early Black Friday sales have already dipped even lower. We don’t know if they’ll get as low as $75, but it’s possible. AirPods 4 with ANC: Apple sells a version of the AirPods 4 with noise cancellation for an extra $50, but we’ve seen them as low as $119. With AirPods 4 ANC getting a larger price drop heading into Black Friday, we could see the ANC model inch closer to $110. AirPods Pro 3: Apple just released the newest AirPods Pro 3 in September alongside the iPhone 17, so we’re not expecting the kind of deep discounts we saw last year with AirPods Pro 2. However, we might see the remaining stock of AirPods Pro 2 drop as low as $150. 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, we’d recommend waiting until they drop under $400. Does Apple discount AirPods for Black Friday? Gift card values 2022–2025 Apple doesn’t cut prices for Black Friday, but it does hold a 4-day Shopping Event where it gives away gift cards when you buy certain items. Apple’s Black Friday 2025 offer is similar to previous years, with $25 for AirPods 4, $50 for AirPods Pro, and $75 for AirPods Max purchased on Apple’s U.S. site or Apple’s U.K. site. 2025202420232022AirPods 4$25$25n/an/aAirPods Pro (3rd generation)$50n/an/an/aAirPods Pro (2nd generation)n/a$50$50$50AirPods Max$75 $75$75$75 You can about Apple’s Black Friday shopping event here: Apple Black Friday 2025: Details of Apple’s sale.

Check out our round-up of the Best Black Friday Apple deals. 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 iPad to buy read our Best iPad buying guide. How we pick the best iPad deals Macworld knows iPads. Our editors have used and reviewed every major iPad release and nearly every generation over the past 15 years, and have a working knowledge of all models, features, and specs. We buy iPads ourselves and track price drops all throughout the year, so we can tell the difference between a legitimate Black Friday deal and one that’s disguised to look good. We have a working knowledge of each model’s all-time low and make our recommendations accordingly. Best Black Friday 2025 iPad deals Black Friday weekend has arrived, and by now it probably feels like the deals have been running all month as Amazon, Best Buy, and other retailers in the U.S., U.K., and elsewhere have been slashing prices. The sale has really ramped up now for the Black Friday weekend, but deals are starting to run out and you need to be quick to grab one before the sale is over on Cyber Monday (aka December 1.) In the U.S., all of Apple’s iPads have hit their all-time low, including the new M5 iPad Pro, which launched in October, has already received its first-ever discount: a massive $100 off. We gave it a 5-star review as it is undoubtedly the best tablet on the market, but if you own an iPad Pro M4 or are looking at a deal on one, we suggest that it’s not a huge update from the older model, so deals on the older model are worth considering, although these were $150 off, but have now dropped to $100 off. There is also a decent $100 off the iPad mini as well as $150 off the iPad Air. The standard entry-level iPad A16 is an absolute steal at its Black Friday price of $279, but stock is beginning to dwindle. U.S. Amazon, iPad (A16): $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. In the U.K. we’re seeing a £100 saving on the iPad Air, which is an excellent deal, but the deals on the other iPads in the U.K. aren’t as big as they are in the U.S. There’s now £50 off the iPad mini, which just about beats Apple’s £40 gift voucher deal. 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 How to get the best iPad deals for Black Friday 2025: Our Advice  Britta O’Boyle If you’re not sure which model is right for you, read our in-depth iPad buying guide. Here’s a quick overview of Apple’s lineup: iPad: Apple updated its cheapest iPad in 2025 with an A16 chip and twice the storage (128GB) of the previous model. At $349, it’s already a fantastic value, but the Black Friday $274 price puts it in impulse-buy territory. iPad mini: The iPad mini was updated in October 2024 with an A17 Pro processor, 8GB of RAM, and twice the storage (128GB). It regularly drops to $399, which is what we’re seeing for Black Friday as well. iPad Air: Apple updated the iPad Air with an M3 processor in 2024, but left it otherwise unchanged. It still comes in two sizes, 11 inches and 13 inches, and has the same gorgeous design. We saw price cuts as high as $150 off for Prime Day, and the Black Friday sales we’ve tracked so far match that. iPad Pro: The iPad Pro was updated in October with an M5 processor, but nothing else has changed. So we recommend looking for significant savings on the M4 model (and we are spotlighting them above when they appear). iPad Accessory Black Friday 2025 deals Mahmoud Itani / Foundry Black Friday is also a great time to find deals on iPad accessories, including the Apple Pencil (which you can get for less than $50!). To check if the Apple Pencil works with your iPad, read: Apple Pencils compared: Which Apple Pencil works with your iPad? Apple also has a Black Friday deal that might be of interest if you want an Apple Pencil. You can get a $25/£20 voucher with your purchase of the Apple Pencil Pro.

Every year, Apple holds a shopping event from Black Friday to Cyber Monday. However, Apple rarely discounts its products and the event consists of gift card offers rather than actual savings. The Apple Black Friday shopping event for 2025 has been announced, and the iPad Air, iPad mini, and standard iPad are all included. It’s no real surprise that the M5 iPad Pro is excluded, as it was just released in October. You can get a gift card for $100/£80 with the Air and $50/£40 with the other iPads. Get Apple's Black Friday offer (U.S.) Get Apple's Black Friday offer (U.K.) It’s not a bad deal if you want to buy more than one Apple product, as you can use your voucher to make a second purchase, or credit it to your account and pay for all your subscriptions for a few months.

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 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 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.

Best U.K. iPhone deals for Black Friday 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): £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 (128GB): £644 (£55 off, RRP £699) 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 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. 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) 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 Amazon, Beats Solo 4: $130 ($70 off, MSRP $200) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Amazon, Beats Solo Buds: $70 ($10 off, MSRP $80) Amazon, Beats Studio Buds +: $150 ($20 off, MSRP $170) Amazon, Beats Studio Pro: $170 ($180 off, MSRP $350) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Amazon, Beats Pill: $79 ($71 off, MSRP $150) Amazon, Beats Flex: $30 ($50 off, MSRP $70 Amazon, Sony WH-1000XM6: $398 ($51 off, MSRP $460) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Amazon, Bose QuietComfort headphones: $199 ($150 off, MSRP $349) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Amazon, Anker Soundcore Q20i: $37.99 ($32 off, MSRP $69.99) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Apple, $50 gift card with Beats headphones Apple, $25 gift card with Beats Pill speaker 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 Amazon, Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds: £199 (£100 off, RRP £299.95) Amazon, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4: £149 (£80 off, RRP £229) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Amazon, Beats Solo 4: £95 (£105 off, RRP £199.95) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Amazon, Beats Fit Pro: £99 (£120 off, RRP £219.99) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Amazon, Beats PowerBeats Pro 2: £171 (£79 off, RRP £249.99) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Amazon, Beats Studio Buds +: £85 (£95 off, RRP £179.99) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Amazon, Bose New QuietComfort Ultra headphones: £399.99 (£50 off, RRP £449.95) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Amazon, Sennheiser HD505 headphones: £179.99 (£50 off, RRP £229.99) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Amazon, Anker Soundcore P30i: £23.99 (£26 off, RRP £49.99) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Amazon, Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds: £199 (£100 off, RRP £299.95) Amazon, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4: £150 (£79 off, RRP £229) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Apple, £40 gift voucher with Beats headphones Apple, £20 gift voucher with Beats Pill speaker You might also find some deals among our best earbuds for iPhones and best over-ear headphones.

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

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 was $200 off, but that’s since dripped to $150 off, but we recommend jumping at any savings here.

If we spot any, we’ll cover them in our guide to the best Black Friday Apple deals. 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 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 Black Friday week. 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 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. You then have a gift card to buy something else from Apple, including Apple TV, Apple Music, and Apple One subscriptions. Get Apple's Black Friday offer (U.S.) Get Apple's Black Friday offer (U.K.) Where to get Black Friday Mac deals U.S. Apple: no direct discounts, but up to $250 or £250 in gift cards on select Macs Adorama: a wide range of Macs that includes older models.

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. Even Apple runs its own Black Friday shopping event, where it offers gift cards on certain purchases, including $50 with AirPods Pro 3, $100 for iPad Air, and $250 with a MacBook Pro. 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. Simon Jary / Foundry U.S. Amazon, M4 Mac mini (256GB): $479 ($120 off, MSRP $599) Amazon, M4 Mac mini (24GB RAM, 512GB): $869 ($130 off, MSRP $999) Amazon, M4 Pro Mac mini (24GB RAM, 512GB): $1,249 ($150 off, MSRP $1,399)* Amazon, M4 iMac (8-core GPU, 256GB): $1,149 ($150 off, MSRP $1,299) Amazon, M4 iMac, 10-core GPU, 256GB): $1,349 ($150 off, MSRP $1,499) Apple, $100 gift card with Mac mini Apple, $120 gift card with iMac U.K. Amazon, M4 Mac mini, 256GB/16GB RAM, £499 (£100 off, RRP £599) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Amazon, M4 Mac mini, 512GB/16GB RAM, £699(£100 off, RRP £799) Amazon, M4 Mac mini, 512GB/24GB RAM, £899 (£100 off, RRP £999) Amazon, M4 Pro Mac mini, 512GB/24GB RAM, £1,269 (£130 off, RRP £1,399) Apple, £80 gift voucher with Mac mini KRCS, M4 iMac (8-core GPU, 256GB/16GB RAM), £1,169 (£130 off, RRP £1,299) KRCS, M4 iMac (10-Core GPU, 256GB/16GB RAM), £1,349 (£150 off, RRP £1,499) KRCS, M4 iMac (10-Core GPU, 512GB RAM) £1,529 (£170 off, RRP £1,699) Apple, £120 gift voucher with iMac Black Friday AirPods deals Apple released the AirPods Pro 3 in September 2025, with a slightly new design, foam-infused eartips, and a heart-rate sensor. 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.
