Black Friday may be “officially” over, but we’re keeping a close eye on all the Apple deals and updating this page hourly with the best prices through Cyber Monday (Dec. 2).

Because 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, Apple is giving out gift cards worth up to $200 with the purchase of select iPhones, MacBooks, AirPods, and more. Yawn.

The real savings are happening at other retailers. Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart are offering historic prices on the most coveted Apple products during their holiday sales.

Skeptical about Black Friday deals on Apple products? We get it. Retailers sometimes use the “Black Friday” label on mediocre deals. But we track Apple prices year-round, and only legit price drops earn a spot in this guide.

Case in point: Amazon’s Black Friday Week sale delivered a new all-time low price on the M3 MacBook Air, which now comes with 16GB of memory. (It’s also $5 cheaper at Amazon 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.

As we enter Black Friday weekend, we’re already seeing some of the most popular Black Friday Apple deals sell out. The $89 AirPods 2? Gone. The M3 MacBook Air? Back-ordered at Amazon and going fast. So, if you see something you like on sale, grab it before someone else does!

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.

Best Black Friday AirPods deal

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-canceling 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.) The latest version of the Pro earbuds has consistently been at a record low of $153.99. (Update: These buds may be priced at $154 for some shoppers, a whole penny more.) 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.

Best Black Friday iMac or MacBook deal

Why we like it

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.

Update: Select colors of the M3 MacBook Air are now back-ordered at Amazon, with most models not set to deliver until after Christmas. For that reason, we recommend grabbing it on sale at Best Buy — for $5 more.

Best Black Friday iPad deal

Why we like it

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

The iPad Air is just one dollar away from its lowest price ever. 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.

Best Black Friday Apple Watch deal

Why we like it

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 biggest plus in our reviewer’s eyes.

If you’re going to get a new iPad during Black Friday, you might as well go big or go home. The iPad Pro M4 is still on sale post-Black-Friday — save $200 on the most powerful Apple tablet yet while you still can (just make sure you clip that on-page coupon to get all the savings).

While you can still buy the M3 MacBook Air at Amazon for $849 (compared to the $849 sale price you’ll find elsewhere), Amazon’s supply of laptops is running low. In most of the available colors, this configuration of the MacBook Air isn’t set to be delivered until after Christmas, and in some cases, in the new year. For that reason, we recommend paying $5 more and buying this laptop at Best Buy.

We have good news for shoppers who’ve been eyeing the 2024 line of iMacs equipped with M4 chips. These colorful desktops are on sale at Amazon for Black Friday 2024, with a variety of discounts and on-page coupons. While none of these deals are new, they will let you save a little. We also found a deal on the Apple Studio Display.

Virtually the entire Apple ecosystem of products is on sale for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, with record-low prices on AirPods, iPads, MacBooks, and more. However, there are two notable exceptions to this rule. If you were hoping to buy Apple HomePod or Apple TV devices on sale, you’re out of luck. We’ve been keeping a close eye on these products, but now that Black Friday has come and gone, we aren’t expecting either to go on sale this year.

Best Apple Watch Deal: You can still get the Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) for under $150 at Walmart. The retailer has everyone else beat on the price of the smaller 40mm model except for Amazon, which is matching its $100 discount during its own Black Friday sale.

Black Friday 2024 brought historic low prices for the entire AirPods family of products. You could even buy the past-gen AirPods 2 earbuds at Walmart for just $89. As of Saturday, Nov. 30, that deal is no longer available; however, the rest of the lineup is still on sale at Walmart, Amazon, Best Buy, and Target:
