The Best Black Friday Deals on Apple Gear

Black Friday is almost upon us, and as usual, online retailers like Amazon are offering up some great deals all week long. It’s a great time to shop for a new iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or Mac. Even Apple gets in on the game with some bonus gift card deals, although you’ll probably do better elsewhere.

While you likely won’t find too many discounts on the latest iPhone 15 models, there are some good carrier incentives and prices to be found on older iPhones, especially last year’s iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, which are being blown out at clearance prices in many cases.

However, this year, we’re finding some good deals on other relatively new Apple gear, including the Apple Watch Series 9, which is down to $329 at Amazon.

Apple Watch Series 9

Specifically, the entire Apple Watch Series 9 lineup can be found at Amazon for $70 off across the board. While that might not be enough to convince you to upgrade from last year’s trusty Apple Watch Series 8, it’s an excellent opportunity to pick one up if you’re on the fence, as you probably won’t see too many deals like this until the Series 10 (or Series X) shows up next year.

1. Apple Watch Series 9 GPS 41mm Aluminum — $329 (regularly $399)
2. Apple Watch Series 9 GPS 45mm Aluminum — $359 (regularly $429)
3. Apple Watch Series 9 GPS + Cellular 41mm Aluminum — $429 (regularly $499)
4. Apple Watch Series 9 GPS + Cellular 45mm Aluminum — $459 (regularly $529)
   

Apple Watch Ultra 2

While the discounts on Apple’s rugged second-generation Apple Watch Ultra aren’t quite as deep — especially percentage-wise — you can still score one for $60 off the regular price.

Apple Watch Ultra 2 GPS + Cellular 49mm Titanium — $739 (regularly $799).

Apple Watch SE

Apple’s affordable Apple Watch SE makes a great stocking stuffer for someone who doesn’t need all the advanced health features or always-on display of the Apple Watch Series 9, and with $70 off on the GPS models, you’re looking at up to 28% off their normal prices.

1. Apple Watch SE GPS 40mm Aluminum — $179 (regularly $249)
2. Apple Watch SE GPS 44mm Aluminum — $209 (regularly $279)
3. Apple Watch SE GPS + Cellular 40mm Aluminum — $239 (regularly $299)
4. Apple Watch SE GPS + Cellular 44mm Aluminum — $269 (regularly $329)
   

MacBooks Pro

Speaking of recently released products, Amazon also has nearly all of Apple’s brand new M3 MacBook Pro models on sale for up to $200 off. You’re only paying full price if you plan to splurge for a 16-inch M3 Max configuration, and if you’re in the market for one of those, money probably isn’t an object.

1. 14-inch M3 MacBook Pro, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD — $1,449 (save $150)
2. 14-inch M3 MacBook Pro, 8GB RAM, 1TB SSD — $1,649 (save $150)
3. 14-inch M3 Pro MacBook Pro, 18GB RAM, 512GB SSD — $1,799 (save $200)
4. 14-inch M3 Pro MacBook Pro, 18GB RAM, 1TB SSD — $2,249 ($150 off)
5. 14-inch M3 Max MacBook Pro, 36GB RAM, 1TB SSD — $2,999 (save $200)
6. 16-inch M3 Pro MacBook Pro, 36GB RAM, 512GB SSD — $2,699 (save $200)
   

MacBooks Air

While Amazon doesn’t have any deals on the 13-inch M2 MacBook Air yet, you can get $250 off either the 2020 M1 model — a great deal at $750 — or either of the standard 15-inch MacBook Air configurations.

1. 13-inch M1 MacBook Air, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD — $750 (save $250)
2. 15-inch M2 MacBook Air, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD — $1,049 (save $250)
3. 15-inch M2 MacBook Air, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD — $1,249 (save $250)
   

iPads

Other than the iPad Pro, Amazon has the rest of Apple’s iPad lineup marked down by around $100 across the board. This brings the new 10th-generation iPad closer to the more reasonable budget price of its home-button and Lightning-equipped predecessors.

1. iPad (10th Generation), 64GB, Wi-Fi — $349 (save $100)
2. iPad (10th Generation), 256GB, Wi-Fi — $499 (save $100)
3. iPad (10th Generation), 64GB, Wi-Fi + 5G — $499 (save $100)
4. iPad (10th Generation), 256GB, Wi-Fi + 5G — $649 (save $100)
5. iPad Air (5th Generation), 64GB, Wi-Fi — $499 (save $100)

10. iPad mini (6th Generation), 256GB, Wi-Fi — $539 (save $110)
11. iPad mini (6th Generation), 64GB, Wi-Fi + 5G — $549 (save $100)
12. iPad mini (6th Generation), 256GB, Wi-Fi + 5G — $629 (save $170)
    

AirPods

Finally, Black Friday is always one of the best times to score Apple’s AirPods at a great price; whether you’re looking for the pricey over-ear AirPods Max, the latest USB-C AirPods Pro, or the really affordable second-generation AirPods, there are some great deals here, too.

1. AirPods Max — $449.99 (save $100)
2. AirPods Pro (2nd Generation with USB-C case) — $189.99 (save $60)
3. AirPods (3rd Generation) — $139.99 (save $30)
4. AirPods (2nd Generation) — $79.99 (save $50)
   

While the AirPods Max probably aren’t the best investment right now, as Apple is expected to release a second-generation model in the new year, at $80, the second-generation AirPods are the closest thing you’ll find right now to the rumored AirPods Lite.
