Black Friday Apple Deals Live: Record-low Prices on Airpods and iPads, Apple Watch, and Apple Watch

They are disappearing

Apple didn’t offer the best Black Friday deals on all of its gadgets, but those who did have the best deals are running out quickly. Amazon has sold out of an iPad mini (2021), which was $399 on Amazon. It doesn’t necessarily mean the sale is over. Amazon has sold out. 

This is happening quite often. Only one type of AirPods remains and that’s the 32GB Apple TV 4K model.

It is hard to imagine what the Apple gear deal landscape will look like. Cyber Monday? Is it reasonable to expect a complete new inventory and prices? 

We don’t know yet, but TechRadar will keep you updated.

But not everyone likes Apple’s Black Friday offering…

Apple Gift Cards are always appreciated – although we wouldn’t turn our noses up at free money, there is a possibility that Apple could be a little more generous. 

Or, Alex Whitelock, our deals editor, said, “Personally we’d rather get $400 in cash than a gift card of $250.”

An Apple Gift Card can only be used to purchase more Apple products. For instance, accessories for the item you just purchased. You might prefer a $50 savings on the top-ticket item if your finances are tighter than normal. 

It’s a curious approach by one of the wealthiest companies in the globe, and it means that the best Apple Black Friday deals almost always are to be found outside of Apple Store. It’s possible that this will change in the future, but you shouldn’t be too optimistic.

If all else fails get an Apple Gift Card

Gifting a gift certificate is thoughtful and thoughtful. It might seem like a lazy gift but it’s sending the message that you care enough about your giftees to not give them the wrong gift. This will ensure they get exactly what they want.

They can get it when they want it. If they don’t see any Apple deals right now, they can save the money to wait for the right deal. See? Thoughtful.

Time to accessorize your Apple Watch

Some of you may already have an Apple Watch deal. Congrats! It’s now time to add accessories, especially if the band color you have isn’t your favorite. Apple Watch band deals can be difficult to find, even during large sales events. This is strange because they are easy to purchase and users have the opportunity to buy more. Apple is here for you.

Amazon is offering price reductions on certain Apple Watch bands right now. Although there aren’t many and the discounts aren’t huge, it’s worth checking them out in case you see the one that you’ve been eyeing for the past year.

The Apple Watch Sport Band (45mm), in Midnight, is the most discounted. 18% Black Friday Apple deal(opens new tab)This will save you $9 on an already affordable price. However, there are some more expensive propositions that get 10% off. 

Grab ’em While They’re Hot

If you don’t believe Apple’s AirPods are a hot holiday item then take a look on Amazon. The virtual shelves have been cleared of AirPods leaving this amazing offer as the last Apple earbuds.

Apple raised the bar with Apple AirPods 2They are what we call them. Although the design is nearly unchanged, there is a new chip called H2 with a billion transistors. This chip does incredible things with sound suppression. The ANC can make you feel like you’re in a soundproof space. Although you can still hear the world around you, there is a pressure that you feel at first that reminds you of that type of room (if that’s something you’ve experienced).

Even the case has been upgraded with a cutout for an accessory lanyard and microphones that can help you locate it when it falls between your sofa cushions

They provide great sound and spatial audio (with supporting material), and are a favorite gadget. 

You might be able to get one for yourself or to give it to someone else for what appears to the lowest price.

Turn on the TV

Amazon can always pick up the slack. This is the best price ever for an Apple TV 4K 64GB storage.

It’s the final generation of Apple TV 4KThis means that the CPU is slightly slower and the chassis is larger, but we don’t think anyone will notice. This Apple TV 4K has been our favorite Apple TV for over a year. It is fast and delivers high-quality visuals, but also because of the new remote.

Apple introduced this sturdy, mostly aluminum model last year after it had given up on its fragile glass-faced Apple TV remote. We love the gesture trackpad button. But not everyone will. The only difference between this remote, and the Apple TV 4K (2022), is that it has a USB C charge port.

You can find the deal below. If you think this is the year to get Apple TV, then you might want it now. The 32GB model was quickly sold out.

Amazon offers a Black Friday Discount on Apple AirTags, a very rare discount.

Amazon’s Black Friday sale brings the Apple AirTag down to $79. The AirTag four-pack is a great gift idea. It can be used to track your keys and wallet. Simply attach the AirTag to any object you don’t mind losing, and your iPhone will find it.

Apple Magic Keyboard continues to be inexplicably expensive

As an Apple Magic Keyboard user, I can say without a doubt that this iPad Air/Pro case-slash-keyboard-slash-mount is a brilliant accessory that remains unrivaled. It’s so expensive, but, oh my god! I’ve been hoping to get the white version since its release, but that $299 price tag is simply too steep for a keyboard case – especially when I’ve already spend that much on its black version. 

Even with this 17% Black Friday discount at Amazon(opens new tab)It’s still more expensive than the competition, with rivals like the Logitech Combo Touch barely hitting the $200 mark at their regular prices. 

We get it, Apple. It’s amazing. It’s the best non-mechanical keyboard that we have ever used. The floating mount is also incredibly versatile. We also appreciate the built-in charger port. Is there a way to lower the price to $200 or less?

AirPods 2 reach record-low

We all know this. Apple deals are not easy to find. Even when you do find them, they aren’t exactly record-breaking. Amazon and Walmart offer deals on AirPods 2 for a budget-minded Apple lover.

Walmart has lowered the record price of these 2019 headphones by $20, offering a Black Friday discount you won’t find anywhere else. These earphones may be a bit old-fashioned. These earphones are a bit old-fashioned, but only Apple technophiles care about the latest releases. For the rest of the population, this is a terrific deal that even makes for a perfect gift – if you’re looking to spend slightly above $50.

Playing tag is not an option

Apple didn’t put Black Friday deals like Cupertino’s pixie powder on all of its products. Instead, Apple selected a few and left out some no-brainers such as HomePod minis and even the put-anywhere-and-track AirTags.

The answer to your question is as simple as the AirTag on your backpack.

An AirTag costs $29. An AirTag costs $29. That’s almost $30 for one device that can track anything you attach it around the globe. AirTags are based on Apple’s vast network of devices (think iPhones), which can detect AirTags and transmit their location back when they’re lost. All of this happens without you having to share any personal information. They’re not perfect. AirTags’ batteries can run out after about a year. Apple has had problems with people stealing their AirTags. using them to track peopleThey have also taken some steps to address this issue.

Why is the Black Friday discount not available on single AirTags, or the $99 four pack? The answer is simple. Apple probably expects that you will buy AirTags using the gift cards you earn from Black Friday deals. The Apple Pencil 2 (which we have already mentioned) comes with a $25 Gift Card, which is enough to cover one AirTag. A $50 gift card will be given to you for purchasing an AirPods Pro 2 AirPods. You’ve now almost paid for two AirTags.

Apple is giving away something with its AirTags. However, it doesn’t look like a Black Friday promotion. You can get free engraving. Let’s make a deal.

It’s a beautiful point

Finally, you can get an Apple Pencil Second Generation at almost the same price that an Apple Pencil First Generation. It’s true. Apple’s Black Friday Deal includes a gift certificate. Apple will give you a $25 gift voucher after you purchase the Apple Pencil. This brings the price down to $104. This is pretty amazing, right?

Not entirely. Amazon offers a $30 discount on the second-generation Apple Pencil, which is $99 less than its regular price. DoesMatch the original Apple Pencil’s price

This is frustrating on so many levels. Apple is correct to push the Apple Pencil 2. It’s so much more useful than the original iPad drawing/writing tool. Let’s begin with the design. It is more pencil-like. It is shorter and flatter so that the implement doesn’t slip off the table. Instead of charging wirelessly, you can remove the rear-end nub from the device and plug it into an iPad’s charger port. The Apple Pencil to has gesture-based controls and is compatible with the latest iPads. iPad Pro 12.9, which supports hover.

Apple knows that the best pencil is the Apple Pencil, but instead of acknowledging that it could be cheaper than other retailers, it offers this: a gift certificate. This card doesn’t even cost as much as Amazon.

Below are the Amazon and Apple deals.

How are Apple’s Black Friday deals for MacBooks and iMacs going? Understandably, Apple is offering the its biggest free gift cards (from $150 / £150 to $250 / £250) on its laptops and desktop computers, if you buy one directly from the Apple Store between now and the end of November 28. However, in many cases, retail deals are better than gift card offers.

Apple’s own deals are directly below, but scroll down and you’ll see that some Black Friday deals undercut some of those – even if you consider the gift card to be a discount, which is only really the case if you’re definitely looking to buy something else from Apple in the near future.

MacBook Air (M1) ($150 / £150)

MacBook Pro 16in (M1) ($250 / £250)
Mac Mini ($100 / £100)
iMac 24in ($150 / £150)

How do these gift certificates compare to deals from retailers? The Apple MacBook Pro 14 (M1 Pro), which is available in the US for $1,599, is cheaper than Apple’s gift card offer. The UK’s Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (M2,2022) has a 10% discount. This is unless you are planning on taking your wallet to the Apple Store.

What about Apple’s gift cards for iPad and Apple Watch? Comparable to the best Black Friday Apple Watch dealsAnd Black Friday iPad dealsThese are available from retailers (which can be perused in both of the round-ups), but they are a little more limited.

The Apple Watch SE Gift Card is a great offer if you want to buy another item in the Apple Store. Assuming you were looking to buy something else, it effectively takes the price down to $199 / £209, which undercuts the retailer deals below. If you are only looking for an Apple Watch, the Amazon deals further down are a better option.

Apple’s own Black Friday shopping eventIt was founded today, so what are its offers? They are a mixed bag. Most of the company’s recent products are not included in the gift cards offers. Apple doesn’t offer discounts, of course. The iPhone 14, iPad Pro 12.9 (2022), iPhone 14 (2022), Airpods (3rd Generation), Apple Watch Series 8, Apple TV 4K and HomePod Mini are all missing.

But! There are some good gift card offers that are well worth checking out – and we now know exactly how they break down across models. In the next few posts I will be aggregating them all, before getting into the best. Here are the gift cards available for iPhones and Airpods this year.

Verizon won’t force iPhone users to sign contracts for great deals

It’s from Lance Ulanoff (US Editor in Chief). think carefully before picking up a budget iPhoneIf you are planning to give it as a holiday gift, While you might be tempted to buy a more affordable iPhone, there are no phones that have more street cred or social status than an iPhone.

Lance says that money is tight. It’s true, I know it. But it’s hard for me to price happiness and avoid the heartbreak that comes with seeing a loved one disheartened. Instead of accepting a modest offer for an aging iPhone 12, that will be met with disdainful looks from your partner or family members, the following offer may be able to help you to keep your bank account topped up to cover the cost. iPhone 14 Pro.

Verizon has some of the best iPhone deals for Americans. The best offer is not one that encourages you to sign up on a long-term carrier contract, but rather the $300 off select models (including those in the iPhone 14 Pro series), for those who are on Verizon Prepaid.

Great deal on an iPad Pro in America

While it took a while for notable iPad deals to take root this Black Friday, Best Buy is now offering the largest discounts to date on Apple’s 2021 slates.

The iPad Pro 12.9 (2021), which is available with a $300 discount, and the 128GB, 256GB WiFi-only and 2TB models, are both up for grabs, while the 512GB model, 1TB, and 2TB models are available with a significant $400 discount.

Our main gripe with the new 2022 iPad Pro tablet was its inability to innovate over its predecessor. However, that’s why this great deal is so great. You’re still getting one the best tablets on the market.

The Apple Watch Series 7 is a smartwatch with serious value

The Apple Watch Series 8 may not be the most advanced Apple Watch available, but Apple did not make significant improvements to last year’s Watch Series 7 models. Black Friday deals have made the Watch 7 even more affordable in the US and UK. This makes it easier to recommend the older model rather than the newer one.

The temperature sensor is the only major upgrade to the Apple Watch 8. This feature is of questionable value for the wider Apple audience. Most people won’t notice it and we suspect that many Watch 8 owners don’t even know they have it. It also has a newer Apple chip, but it didn’t make a significant difference in battery life. This was our biggest complaint. 

Amazon currently has the Apple Watch 8 at $349. Target, however, has the Apple Watch Series 7 at $309.99 for Black Friday. There’s no reason to spend more for a similar watch. Scroll down to find the best Apple Watch 7 deals in the UK. 

In the UK, you can also find the Apple Watch 7 (Product Red) edition for only £299, which equals its lowest-ever price. We’ve seen this version sell out in the past, so it’s well worth picking up today – particularly as it also gives you the smug feeling of knowing that some of its price tag goes to charity.

This is a great way to get a free Apple Watch

The latest Apple Watch deal from AT&T is a ‘buy one, get one’ offer that gives you a free Apple Watch SE when you buy any other new Apple Watch. It’s a brand-new Apple Watch SE from this model, not the older model. Although there are some strings attached, this deal is still very good, even if you cancel early. 

The Apple Watch SE that you get ‘free’ is usually $299. This deal makes you split the cost over 36 installments, and AT&T makes the payments for you as long as you keep the watch connected to your AT&T cell phone plan. That means AT&T is making 36 payments of around $8.30 a month. 

You owe the remainder of the payments if you leave before the due date. This means that you didn’t get your watch for free, but you did save money. If you stay with AT&T for a year, the network has paid $100 of your $299 watch. This is a great deal on a brand-new watch. 

Apple Pay works with your watch even if you aren’t there. This makes it great for those who have a connected Apple Watch. You can run without your phone while you’re out. You can still make phone calls, listen on music, and buy water at your halfway point. 

Today’s high-end MacBook pick

You want to splash a bit of money to get something really special this Black Friday? This deal from Best Buy on a MacBook Pro 14 is our pick for professionals and those in need of some power.

This $400 price reduction at the retailer is the lowest price ever for this highly-demanded product. Although we wouldn’t recommend this model for everyone due its high price, anyone who can benefit from the powerful M1 Pro chip will be very pleased with it. 

Everything is top-shelf – from the design to the components – and its access to the usual MacOS suite makes it a perfect pick for creative professionals in particular. It’s so great that we bought it. as our laptop of the year for 2022. 

Are you in the UK? Here’s the cheapest price that we could find in your area. Just be aware that it is not the best deal. VeryAs good a deal as the Best Buy listing in America (although it’s still the cheapest ever).

If you are on a tight budget, this ultrabook is a great deal

Here we go folks, a Black Friday Apple deal that’s offering nearly unbeatable bang for the buck versus the competition – something you don’t see every day. TechRadar has always loved the older MacBook Air M1 and it’s currently at its lowest price on Amazon US. 

We recommend this model because it is an older model. First, although it may not be the most modern design or chip, it is still a great model. Apple MacBook Air M1The vast majority of users still love it and it will continue to work well into 2022. It’s light, powerful, portable, and much more convenient than the M2 version. 

The M2 version currently sits at $1,049 on Amazon US for Black Friday. This is a record-breaking deal, but it’s still $350 more than the listing on the older model. Overall, we think the listing on the older model is better Black Friday MacBook dealBoth for most users. Are you in the UK? Here’s the cheapest listing that we found today.

On the surface, this Amazon UK doesn’t seem quite as good as the equivalent listing in the US but don’t be put off – it’s still the lowest price yet in this territory. If you are interested, you can find the Gold color. for £819 todayAmazon has a Silver version for a lower price than its more popular counterpart.
