The Best Apple Early Black Friday Deals Right Now: Save Hundreds on AirPods, iPads, MacBooks, and More

Black Friday is less than a week away, but you don’t have to wait to score low prices on Apple’s top tech. We’re already seeing lots of early Black Friday deals from Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart, including discounts on AirPods, iPads, Apple Watches, and other award-winning Apple devices. While Apple products tend to come at a premium price, now is your chance to take advantage of major price reductions. In fact, we typically see the lowest prices ever on Apple devices this time of year.

These savings won’t last for long, so let’s take a look at the best early Black Friday Apple deals that you can get your hands on right now!

AirPods Deals

When it comes to wireless, noise-canceling earbuds, you won’t find much better than our Editors’ Choice-winning Apple AirPods Pro 2. The silicone earbud tips create a full seal in the ear, resulting in top-of-the-line noise cancellation. The overall sound quality is exceptional, with advanced listening modes (ANC, Transparency, and Adaptive). Plus, they’re equipped with a clinical-grade hearing aid function. Whether you’re a serious audiophile or a more casual listener, these are worth the investment. Right now, you can snag them on sale.

The Apple AirPods Pro 2 are also on sale at Best Buy for $219.99 and at Amazon for $193.99.

The AirPods 4 are Apple’s most affordable wireless earbuds, and this early Black Friday deal drops them to under $80. They deliver excellent audio performance with strong bass and crisp highs, but you’ll have to pay an extra $50 if you want active noise cancellation (ANC). For an open earbud design, they’re our top pick, even without ANC. Our reviewer especially liked their seamless iOS connectivity and hands-free Siri controls, which even include head gestures.

You can also get them on sale at Walmart for $79.99.

The Apple AirPods Max offer the same outstanding sound quality and noise cancellation as the Apple AirPods earbuds, only in a gorgeous over-ear headphone design. They deliver a high-end listening experience, complete with spatial audio and adaptive EQ (and even hands-free Siri access). The high price makes them more of a luxury item, but they still easily earned a rating of “Excellent” in our 2020 review to soften the financial blow. If the aesthetic and wide range of features appeal to you, now is a great time to grab a pair of these beautiful headphones at $120 off.

Apple Tablet Deals

When it comes to both performance and aesthetics, the Apple iPad Pro (2024) is the top tablet on the market, earning it our Editors’ Choice award. The powerful M4 processing chip enables ultra-speedy app updates, media downloads, and more. Perhaps its most impressive (and long-awaited) upgrade is the stunning OLED screen, which makes using this tablet feel luxuriously high-end. Right now, you can save $200 on the cellular model.

Balancing performance and price, the latest Apple iPad Air is our Editors’ Choice tablet for students and creators. Now featuring the M3 chip, it delivers fast and efficient performance across most tasks as well as higher-quality photos and videos. Plus, “the iPad Air has a quality screen that is leagues better than the glare-prone glass of the base model iPad,” according to our expert reviewer, Eric Zeman. If you don’t need to run power-intensive workflows like ProLogic, then the iPad Air won’t leave you disappointed, particularly since it’s even cheaper with a $150 discount right now.

Although small, the latest iPad Mini is powerful and capable with the new ability to support Apple Intelligence. In terms of design, it has the same sleek aesthetic of other iPads, only it’s a lighter, more portable size that’s ideal for traveling (letting you leave your bulky tablet or laptop at home). Plus, the bright LCD screen features anti-reflective and fingerprint-resistant coatings, so you can use it outside with little glare and clear visibility. In our testing, it performed notably well across gaming, productivity, and media streaming with a solid 7-plus hour battery life – and right now, it’s $100 off.

This same deal is also available at Best Buy.

The Apple iPad (11th Gen) earns our Editors’ Choice award for affordable tablets, as it handles most common tasks (like web browsing, playing games, and streaming media) better than any other tablet in this price range. The LED screen is surprisingly bright and colorful, and thanks to an upgraded A16 processing chip, it’s even faster than the previous iPad model, offering more power than most people actually need. For the average tablet user, this device is exceptionally capable and user-friendly. At a sale price of $279, it’s hard to go wrong.

This same deal is available at Best Buy.

Apple MacBook Deals

Apple’s latest MacBook Air remains our Editors’ Choice pick for ultraportable laptops, thanks to even faster M4 processing, an improved 12-megapixel center webcam, and a quiet, fanless design. Just as with previous models, the overall user experience is a pleasure for both work and play, particularly with the Liquid Retina display and responsive keyboard. Moreover, in testing, the battery lasted an impressive 20 hours. You certainly won’t be disappointed with this laptop, especially with a $250 discount right now.

Apple Smartwatch Deals

Apple’s latest premium smartwatch, the Apple Watch Series 11, adds a few worthwhile upgrades to the already top-notch wearable. In addition to 5G support, the improved battery life lasts for nearly two days. Plus, WatchOS 26 delivers helpful new features, including a handy wrist flick gesture for and timely suggestions. It’s just as visually stunning as its predecessor and boasts the same impressive line-up of sensors. For iPhone users, it’s our Editor’s Choice pick with a rating of “Outstanding”.

Apple’s budget smartwatch line-up gets a major upgrade with the Apple Watch 3 SE without increasing the price. It now offers additional advanced features, including an always-on display, on-device Siri processing, ovulation estimates, sleep apnea detection, and wrist temperature sensing. Not only does it use the same power-efficient chip as the flagship Series 11, but it boasts an even more impressive two-day battery life. The trade-off? A slightly less impressive display and a lack of certain health features, such as blood oxygen saturation, ECG, and hypertension monitoring. However, at a sale price of $199.99, it’s an exceptional value for a highly capable Apple smartwatch.

Apple Pencil Deal

The Apple Pencil Pro is rated “Outstanding” due to its host of advanced features, making it our Editors’ Choice pick for serious digital artists and creators. In addition to tilt and pressure sensitivity, the Apple Pencil Pro adds squeeze and delete functions to the palette, along with a new barrel roll gesture and haptic vibrational feedback. Plus, it charges wirelessly and magnetically attaches to more recent iPads. Don’t miss your chance to grab this high-end digital stylus for under $100.

Apple AirTag Deal

The Apple AirTag took home our Editors’ Choice award for Bluetooth tracker. In our testing, the Bluetooth connection never wavered, and long-term use confirmed a roughly year-long battery life. Pairing the AirTag to your iPhone or iPad only takes seconds, and then you practically never have to worry about losing your keys, wallet, luggage, or dog (or whatever you decide to attach the tag to).

Beats Deals

Powered by the Apple H1 chip, the sweatproof Beats Powerbeats Pro deliver the iconic deep bass sound signature the brand is known for, only in Bluetooth earbud form. In contrast to AirPods, these feature a sleek design that hooks over the ear and can be adjusted to ensure an extra secure grip. The nine-hour battery life is also noteworthy, with the case offering an additional 24 hours of playback time. Per our 2019 review, they earned a rating of “Excellent” with one of the big downsides being the price—but with an $85 discount, these are well worth it for fans of the Beats aesthetic and acoustics.

The Beats Pill delivers a high-quality, bass-forward sound signature, earning it our Editors’ Choice award for portable Bluetooth speakers. It’s sleek in design yet rugged enough for the outdoors, carrying a dustproof and waterproof IP67 rating. Not to mention, it integrates seamless within the Apple ecosystem. On sale for under $100, it’s an exceptional value for the price.

Discounted Apple products don’t stick around for very long, so snatch them up before they’re gone! Be sure to follow our Early Black Friday coverage for even more deals leading up to the big sale weekend.
