Even Apple runs its own Black Friday shopping event, where it offers gift cards on certain purchases.

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 We’ve been covering and reviewing Apple and Apple devices for more than 45 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. 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 wrote in our 4.5-star review and right now you can get $200 off all the 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro at Amazon, taking it 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. 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, plus the M4 Pro chip version is a great low-cost way to get a really powerful Mac with $200 off, so jump 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. U.K. users should take advantage of £100 off the Mac mini, and £130 off the Mac mini pro. Foundry U.S. Amazon, M4 Mac mini (256GB): $479 ($120 off, MSRP $599) Amazon, M4 Mac mini (24GB RAM, 512GB): $870 ($129 off, MSRP $999) Amazon, M4 Pro Mac mini (24GB RAM, 512GB): $1,199 ($200 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 for more than $30-$50 off, but the older AirPods Pro 2 have dipped as low as $139 at Walmart. That’s a hard deal to pass up. 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 and $100 AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation are simply mind-blowing. If you need a pair, grab one, just beware that those deals can sell out quickly, but do keep checking because stock seems to come and go. Petter Ahrnstedt U.S. Amazon, AirPods Pro 3: $220 ($29 off, MSRP $249) Walmart, AirPods Pro 2: $139 ($110 off, MSRP $249) Amazon, AirPods 4: $69 ($60 off, MSRP $129) Amazon, AirPods 4 (with ANC): $100 ($79 off, MSRP $179) Amazon, AirPods Max: $399 ($150 off, MSRP $549) Amazon, Wired EarPods (USB-C): $13.32 ($5.68 off, MSRP $19) Apple, $25 gift card with AirPods 4 or ANC Apple, $50 gift card with AirPods Pro 3 U.K. We think the best AirPods deals for U.K. shoppers are yet to come, but anticipate seeing some better deals over the Black Friday weekend. Right now you can get £20 off the AirPods 4. We are waiting for the AirPods Pro 2 deal to return, we’ve seen is drop to £169 already. Amazon, AirPods 4: £99 (£20 off, RRP £119) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Amazon, AirPods 4 (with ANC): £149 (£20 off, RRP £169) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Amazon, AirPods Pro 2 (USB-C case): (New RRP £199, AirPods Pro 3 are £219) OUT OF STOCK, ONLY USED LEFT 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’re looking for at least $50 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: $780 ($20 off, MSRP $799) Apple, $50 gift card with Apple Watch SE 3 and Series 11 Walmart, Apple Watch Series 10 (42mm): $249 ($150 off, $399 MSRP) Walmart, Apple Watch Series 10 (46mm): $279 ($150 off, $429 MSRP) Amazon, Apple Watch Ultra 2: $599 ($200 off, MSRP $799) 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): £209 (£10 off, RRP £219) Amazon, Apple Watch SE 3 (44mm): £239 (£10 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. Finally, the standard entry-level iPad is the bare-bones option in Apple’s lineup, but it still has a great screen, a capable processor, and great battery life. It’s great for kids and an absolute steal at its Black Friday price of $279. Foundry U.S. Amazon, iPad (A16, 128GB): $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): $1,049 ($150 off with coupon, MSRP $1,199) Amazon, 13-inch M4 iPad Pro (256GB): $1,149 ($150 off with coupon, 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): £461 (£38 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 discounts on the iPhone Air, albeit small. The biggest discount available is on the iPhone 16e, which 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): £969 (£30 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, or AirTags so you can keep track of everything, you can grab a discount this Black Friday. If you see a deal on any Apple Pencils, make sure they work with your iPad first. The Apple Pencil Pro is the newest model and is compatible with the iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPad mini. The USB-C Apple Pencil is also compatible with these models as well as the 10th-gen iPad, but is missing some of the Pro features, most notably magnetic charging, squeeze gestures, and pressure sensitivity..

Updated November 26, 2025: We’ve updated and reorganized our list of the best for better clarity and to ensure deals are still available. Deals change quickly so we will be updating this page throughout the day. Black Friday is the biggest shopping event of the year and it can be a great time to get a good deal on a new iPhone, iPhone accessories, or other Apple gear. Below we are tracking all the best Black Friday deals on the Apple iPhone and associated accessories, as well as sharing some advice on where to look and what to look out for. We’ll be updating this page imminently, as the discounts come in. If you’re looking for other Apple products, check out our mega roundup 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 for help deciding which iPhone to buy take a look at our iPhone Buying Guide and iPhone Comparison chart. 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. Best U.S. iPhone deals for Black Friday 2025 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. 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. 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. 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 2025 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): £969 (£30 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 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 earphones deals for Black Friday 2025 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) Walmart, AirPods Pro 2: $139 ($110 off, MSRP $249) Amazon, AirPods 4: $69 ($60 off, MSRP $129) Amazon, AirPods 4 (with ANC): $100 ($79 off, MSRP $179) OUT OF STOCK BUT KEEP CHECKING!

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

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. Prices checked on November 26. Deals change quickly during Black Friday; we update this page throughout the day. 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 itself is still a few days away, but Black Friday Week is here now, and Amazon, Best Buy, and other retailers in the U.S., U.K., and elsewhere are already slashing prices. In the U.S. all of Apple’s iPads are at or below their all-time low, including the new M5 iPad Pro, which launched in October and received its first-ever discount which is a massive $100 off. We gave it a five 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. There is also a a decent $100 off the iPad Air. Of note, the 128GB A16 iPad is $5 below its previous all-time low price with a $75 saving. U.S. 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) Amazon, iPad (A16, 128GB): $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) Apple, $100 gift card with iPad Air Apple, $50 gift card with iPad and iPad mini Amazon, 11-inch M4 iPad Pro (512GB): $1,049 ($150 off with coupon, MSRP $1,199) Amazon, 13-inch M4 iPad Pro (256GB): $1,199 ($150 off with coupon, MSRP $1,299) U.K. In the U.K. we’re seeing a great £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 (yet). 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). Amazon, 11-inch M5 iPad Pro (128GB): £944 (£55 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): £461 (£38 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 (512GB): £1,033 (£166 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.

This ChatGPT voice update previews what we can expect from the new Siri
A new ChatGPT voice update has made interacting with the chatbot far more flexible than it used to be, and I think is an example of one of the key things we can eventually expect from the new Siri. While OpenAI’s change might seem like a relatively small one on the surface, I’m already finding that it completely transforms the experience of using ChatGPT … more…

iPad mini may be on track to get a display upgrade before the iPad Air, weirdly
Macworld The next iPad mini, surprisingly, appears to be on track to get an OLED screen before the more expensive iPad Air. But according to a new report from a prolific leaker, this still won’t happen until the second half of next year. The matter was discussed in a post this week by the Weibo account Instant Digital. “iPad mini will be the first to feature OLED technology,” the account wrote (via Google Translate), “while iPad Air has not seen any movement.” It may be worth pointing out that the iPad mini won’t actually be the first iPad to get an OLED display. That distinction falls to the M4 iPad Pro models, which got an OLED panel last year. But this may be an issue with translation. At any rate, Instant Digital elaborated on its prediction in below-the-line discussions with commenters. When asked if the mini’s screen would be 60Hz, the account responded that it didn’t know, but “the earliest it will be released is the third or fourth quarter of next year, we’ll see then.” A Q3 launch would see the next iPad mini release alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max, and perhaps the iPhone Fold. That would be a two-year wait from the launch of the 7th-gen mini, which came out in fall 2024, but this pales in comparison with the gaps between the past few generations. There was a three-year gap between the 6th and 7th minis, two and a half years between 5th and 6th, and three and a half between 4th and 5th. Yearly iPad mini refreshes haven’t been the norm since 2015. In another conversation, this time focusing on the relationship between refresh rate and price, the account said “the overall cost of the OLED screen in the mini is kept very low.” Which appears to suggest that a 60Hz rather than 120Hz is more likely. Nevertheless, the inclusion of OLED on a comparatively budget-focused tablet like the iPad mini would be a pleasant surprise, to go with more pedestrian upgrades like the expected A19 Pro chip.
