If you think Apple doesn’t show up with good deals during Black Friday season, think again.

It’s true that if you’re shopping straight from the Apple Store, you’re limited to its usual gift card promo. From Nov. 29 through Dec. 2 (aka Cyber Monday), Apple is giving out gift cards worth up to $ 200 with the purchase of select iPhones, MacBooks, AirPods, and more.

So, where can you find the best Black Friday Apple deals? The trick is to shop from retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. Shoppers can score historic prices on the most coveted Apple products during their holiday sales.

For anyone skeptical as to whether Black Friday deals on Apple products are genuine, we get it. Retailers have a bad habit of slapping Black Friday labels on mediocre deals. That said, we track Apple prices year-round, and only legit price drops earn a spot in this guide.

For instance, Amazon’s Black Friday Week sale has ushered in a new all-time low on the base M3 MacBook Air, which now comes with 16GB of memory. (It’s $ 5 cheaper there than it is at Best Buy.) You can also buy the AirPods Pro at the record-low price of $ 154 at Amazon, Target, and Walmart, which beats out their old Prime Day record by nearly $ 15.

Basically, if you’re looking to upgrade some older gadgets, it’s a really good time to buy Apple products. Below, you’ll find our top picks for the best Apple deals of Black Friday 2024.

Note: All newly added or updated deals have been marked with a , while struck-through deals were either sold out or expired at the time of writing.

Why we like it

Read Mashable’s full review of the Apple AirPods Pro 2.

Whether you’re a frequent flyer or simply someone who loves noise-cancelling headphones, we’re betting you’ll be a fan of the AirPods Pro. (If you’re reading this far, let’s assume you’re not an Android user.) And as of Nov. 29, the latest version of the Pro earbuds are at a record low of $ 153.99. For comparison’s sake, they’ve only hit $ 168.99 a handful of times prior to this price drop. Good on Amazon, Target, and Walmart for going all-in on a Black Friday deal this great.

Strangely, they’re also $ 11 cheaper than the new AirPods 4 with ANC, which are supposed to be a more budget-friendly alternative to the Pros. (Yes, the AirPods 4 are also on sale.) Alongside top-notch ANC, you’ll get six hours of battery life per charge, balanced sound, and of course, a seamless integration into the Apple ecosystem, making these earbuds some of our favorite headphones, period.

Read Mashable’s full review of the M3 Apple MacBook Air.

A few weeks ago, the M3 MacBook Air got a quiet RAM upgrade without a price hike. That makes this new record-low price on the base configuration with 256GB of storage an even sweeter deal. (What’s more, it’s now a sub-$ 100 bump from the older, also-on-sale M2 version.) For reference, this is our favorite MacBook for most people in 2024: It’s fast enough to handle light creative work, its keyboard and speakers are both fantastic, and it can support two external displays — so long as you close its lid first.

Read Mashable’s full review of the M2 Apple iPad Air.

The iPad Air is just one dollar away from its lowest price ever during Amazon’s extended Black Friday sale. This Apple tablet is our favorite model for most people thanks to its versatility: It works just as well for artists as it does for students. The M2 chipset makes it a more viable laptop replacement than other tablets while costing you a few hundred dollars less than a supercharged iPad Pro. At the time of writing, only the silver and starlight colorways are in stock at Amazon.

Read Mashable’s full review of the Apple Watch Series 10.

Thanks to Amazon and Best Buy, the Apple Watch Series 10 is officially down to a new record-low price for the third time this month. (This time around, it’s at $ 329, as compared to last week’s $ 349.) Apple’s latest flagship smartwatch has a thinner and lighter design than previous models, plus a larger display that has a built-in speaker. It supports new health and fitness features like sleep apnea alerts and water temperature/depth sensing, though its faster charging was the its biggest plus in our reviewer’s eyes.
