Early Black Friday deals are already offering some of the best discounts on the newest Apple products. Beyond the upfront discount, the June 2026 price hike makes these deals even more important, since some products are still available at pre-hike rates.
To save you time and effort, I reviewed the current deals and pulled together the best early Black Friday prices on the newest Apple products for specific use cases.
AirPods Pro 3 – $199.00 (20% off)
I’d recommend this to runners who don’t like chest straps. Beyond class-leading ANC and Transparency Mode, they also offer built-in heart rate sensing for up to 50 workout types. Right now, an early Black Friday Amazon deal lets you save $50 on AirPods Pro 3.
Apple AirTag 2 (4 Pack)- $79.99 (19% off)
Holiday luggage vanishes at the worst possible moment. So, I’d buy the AirTag 2 for two upgrades: using Precision Findingps locate the tracker when it’s close by
Pencil Pro – $99.00 (23% off)
If you already own a compatible iPad, or you’re getting the baseline iPad mentioned above, you can buy the Apple Pencil Pro or the Apple Pencil (USB-C) from Amazon at $99 (23% off) and $69 (respectively).
iPad 11-inch (A16, 128GB) – $399.99 (11% off)
I’d recommend the baseline iPad (11-inch) to anyone who wants a no-nonsense tablet for general browsing, consuming content, and/or taking notes during lectures (Apple Pencil USB-C sold separately). It’s the perfect first tablet for students, entry-level professionals, or the perfect household device for everyone.
AirPods Max 2 – $449.99 (18% off)
These are the best headphones Apple offers, and if you act now, you can save $100 (and get a tech gift under $100). Of course, they deliver Apple’s best ANC experience, plus a comfortable design and the option to listen to lossless audio over USB-C.
Mac mini (M6, 256GB) – $779.00 (13% off)
If you couldn’t get the M6 Mac mini’s baseline configuration because of supply issues after launch, now’s the time. With the M6 chip, the mini is among the most powerful compact CPUs on the market. Despite saving desk space, it offers you three Thunderbolt 4 ports, HDMI, and 2.5Gb Ethernet.
MacBook Air 13-inch (M5, 512GB) – $1,099.00
An early Black Friday Amazon deal slashes the price of the M5 MacBook Air, one of the most capable and compact notebooks I’ve ever used, to the pre-hike levels. The device debuted in March 2026 at $1,099, and Amazon is letting it go for that price; it’s a steal, if you ask me.
