It’s Black Friday, which means it’s time for bigger-than-usual discounts on Apple products. There’s a more general summary of the best Black Friday technical offerings on the site, but since we know a lot of people want to grab new Apple gear specifically this holiday season, we’ll specifically mention the best Apple deals we’re seeing on Black Friday.
Apple is generally more stingy than at this time of year when it comes to deals, typically offering modest price reductions and gift card incentives. This is still the case for many devices, especially when it comes to the latest crop of the iPhone, but there are still some eye-catching ones worth noting.
One example is the new low price of the Apple AirPods Pro, as the wireless noise-canceling headset is currently available on Amazon for $ 170. That’s $ 80 from Apple’s MSRP. Amazon will list the device as “temporarily out of stock” after this writing, but if you don’t mind waiting, you can still lock your purchase at a discounted price. Meanwhile, standard AirPods kicked in at $ 110, down $ 10 from the all-time low. If you want something more training-friendly, choose the color of Beats Powerbeats Pro – another genuine wireless headset we recommend – up to $ 160. This is the lowest price we have tracked.
In addition, B&H and Adorama are offering a modest $ 100 discount on the latest line of Apple’s own M1 silicon-powered Macs, although again, there seems to be a bit of a wait for actual shipping data as the devices appear to have been re-ordered. .
Meanwhile, the new Apple Watch Series 6 has hit a new low of $ 330 in select designs, while the latest iPad Mini is showing a $ 5 discount on an all-time low of $ 335. We’re also seeing a slight $ 30 price drop for the latest iPad Air, which we reviewed favorably earlier this month. You’ll find our full Apple offerings below, and we’ll be sure to update this post if new valuable offers come up during the day.
