Black Friday is easily the best time to buy Apple products, and at the beginning of November, the deals are already quite good. You can thank Amazon for that: It’s dropped the price of the entry-level AirPods 4 and M4 MacBook Air to its lowest level ever, and has cut the price of most iPads by $50 — even the new M5 iPad Pros.
Other retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, and Target aren’t yet matching the price of Amazon’s ton of deals on current-generation Apple devices, but they’re picking up the slack when it comes to older models. For example, Best Buy is the only place that has $100 off some M4 iPad Pros, and Walmart has a special discount on last year’s Apple Watch Series 10 with cellular connectivity. (There is a huge discount of 40% on this.)
Amazon has given all the information about its Black Friday sale
As always, don’t expect the Apple Store itself to offer any great Black Friday deals. If anything, it will only run one of its free gift card promos.
I’ve scoured the websites of all the major players and listed the best early Black Friday Apple deals below. I’ll continue to update this as we move into the holiday season, so keep checking back.

why we like it
Usually we go to Amazon for the lowest price, but this time Walmart has the best savings on AirPods. Right now you can get the Apple AirPods 2 for just $139, a 44% discount that saves $110 off their usual $249 price. This is the best savings you can find on AirPods right now, but if you’re looking for a different model, there are other deals to seek out before Black Friday.

why we like it
The 11th generation iPad has a 10.9-inch display, 12MP cameras, and enough power for everyday tasks. Our reviewer called it a “real steal” at the usual sticker price of $349, but you’ll only pay $299 now. (That’s $20 off the lowest price ever.)

The best early Black Friday MacBook deals

why we like it
Fast and portable, the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air is our favorite MacBook for students. The base model is only $750 on Amazon in early November – a new record low – and I seriously doubt it’ll get even cheaper on Black Friday. It’s a deal.
