Black Friday may still be a few weeks away, but major retailers are already rolling out early discounts ahead of schedule. November is hands-down the best time of year to buy just about anything, and that includes Apple hardware.
We’re already seeing huge deals on Apple smartwatches, laptops, and headphones, so you don’t have to wait to get in on the savings. Between MacBook price drops and sub-$90 AirPods, the current crop of markdowns rivals what we typically see on Black Friday itself. To separate the genuine bargains from routine sticker cuts, we combed through price histories across Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart.
Right now, you can score $200 off the latest MacBook Air M5 at Amazon. The Apple AirPods 4 with ANC are down to $119 (a $60 discount), while the iPad mini is currently on sale for $569. There’s something for every Apple lover on your list, with prices starting at just $14.
Here are the 19 early Apple Black Friday deals that are genuinely worth your money. You’ll also find plenty of great deals on other AirPods models, iPads, MacBooks, and accessories. Keep scrolling to see my favorite Apple deals to shop ahead of Black Friday.
