These are the best Black Friday deals on Apple’s iPad, AirPods, MacBook, iPhone, and more
All of the best Apple deals
by Cameron FaulknerPlenty of Apple products, including the new iPad, Apple Watch, MacBook Pro, and more are seeing big discounts for Black Friday. Apple itself isn’t offering straight price cuts, but is offering Apple Store gift cards worth up to $200 on various purchases during its four-day shopping event that ends as Cyber Monday concludes. Meanwhile, there are some noteworthy discounts you might want to check out at Best Buy, Target, Amazon, B&H Photo, and Walmart.
We’re seeing the best-ever pricing on the new seventh-generation iPad, the Apple Watch Series 3 and Series 4 smartwatches, AirPods, and Apple’s new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. If you missed out on getting a good deal on the iPhone 11 or iPhone 11 Pro, you’ll have another chance.

AirPods
The latest iteration of the AirPods, both with and without the wireless charging case, are discounted at several retailers for Black Friday. At their most affordable, you can usually expect to pay $159.99, but Best Buy and Walmart each sell them for $139.99 right now.
If you want to be able to pop them onto your wireless charger, the model that includes a case that supports your wire-free lifestyle is usually $199.99, but will be down to $159.99 at B&H Photo starting Thanksgiving Day. It costs $164.99 right now at Best Buy and it’s just a little more at Target at $169.99.
If you’re looking for the AirPods Pro, you can find them for $234.99 ($15 off) at Amazon, but they might not ship for two months!
iPad
We’re seeing the biggest deals so far on the seventh-generation iPad, which is great because it recently released. As for why you should pick the new iPad over the sixth-generation model, it comes down to a little extra RAM, a bigger screen (10.2 inches versus 9.7 inches), and a Smart Connector port. Otherwise, you’ll find the same processor inside.
The seventh-gen iPad with 32GB of storage costs $249.99 right now at Amazon, Best Buy and Target. If you want more storage, the 128GB model is $329.99 (usually $429.99) at Amazon and Best Buy. It’s $349.99 at Target.

iPhone
We aren’t seeing deals on the unlocked iPhone 11, 11 Pro, or 11 Pro Max. However, several retailers will be discounting them via activation with carriers.
Starting on Thanksgiving Day, November 28th, if you’re looking for a discount on an iPhone 11 Pro, you may be able to buy one for as little as $499 (roughly half off), but only if you activate a new line with an installment plan on Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint and also trade in your old phone. How much you pay overall will depend on how much trade-in value your phone has. After activating it and trading in your old phone, the final cost for the iPhone 11 after your installment plan is paid off will be $199.
Over at Target, the iPhone deals kick off on Black Friday and last through Sunday. You can get a $200 gift card when you activate either the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, or 11 Pro Max with Verizon or AT&T. Target will also offer a $200 gift card for the iPhone XS or iPhone XS Max, which cost less per month than the iPhone 11 Pro or Pro Max.
