Black Friday isn't until next week, but you can save on the latest Apple products right now. Amazon has officially begun its Black Friday and there are discounts across a multitude of categories, including Apple devices. 2023 has seen a lot of new offerings from Apple, including a refresh of the 2nd generation AirPod Pro wireless earbuds with a USB-C port and the release of the MacBook Pro M3 and MacBook Pro M3 Pro—three shiny new products you can currently purchase at a lower price. All these discounted products include the same AppleCare warranty as if you were to purchase at the Apple store.

I have been covering Black Friday discounts for over nine years and during the month of November I expect to see companies price-matching each other and competing for your sale. Take advantage of these price wars to save some extra cash this holiday season. Amazon usually does a great job in price-matching this period, but they tend to sell out quickly. I recommend going through different sizes and colors for the product you’re looking for because some styles might be price-matched.
If you are a heavy Amazon shopper like me, Amazon Credit Cards are a great way to get up to 5% back (3% with Amazon Visa, 5% with Prime Visa) without an annual fee (see page for details, terms and conditions apply).
Best Black Friday AirPod Deals
(Credit: Tim Gideon)Apple's AirPods lineup are all wireless and come in multiple price ranges to fit your holiday shopping budget. The 2nd Gen AirPods 2 Pro is our top pick to buy from the lineup and they now comes in two cases: the newer USB-C charging case or the older Apple Lightning charging case. Apple is slowly phasing out the Lighting ports for USB-C, so I would personally go with the newest USB-C case. You can find a review by our experts here.

Best Black Friday iPad Deals
(Credit: Eric Zeman)In my opinion, the iPad is an iconic tablet and is one of the best in the market. Apple typically offers software support for its tablets longer than most Android tablets. If you already own an iPhone or MacBook, the Apple ecosystem is one of the best, allowing you to sync things like iMessage, take calls, and keep up on calendar updates seamlessly among devices. The 9th gen iPad is a great overall value pick in the lineup and is currently the cheapest model.
- Apple iPad 10.9" 64GB Wi-Fi Retina Tablet (2022 Release) for $349.00 (List Price $449)
- Apple iPad Mini 64GB Wi-Fi Tablet (2021 Release) for $399.99 (List Price $499)

Best Black Friday MacBook Deals
(Credit: René Ramos/Apple)Apple M series processors continue to outperform their previous Intel models. For casual use, the MacBook Air lineup is a solid decision if you plan on web browsing, word processing, light spreadsheet work, or just streaming video. The MacBook Pro lineup offers stronger performance for content creation, heavy graphical or data work with a much faster chip, and more ports for school or work productivity. Recently, Apple released the MacBook Pro laptops with M3 chips, starting from $1,599, and they're already seeing a discount.
- Apple MacBook Air M1 Chip 256GB SSD 13.3" Laptop for $749.99 (List Price $999)

Best Black Friday Accessory Deals
(Credit: Sascha Segan)If you have an iPad, the Apple Pencil is a great accessory to take notes for work or school and is a great way to save paper if your kids like to doodle. Apple AirTags were a hit last year and this year we expect the same due to their low price and versatility. Use them to keep tabs on your luggage when flying, as an attachment for your pet's collar, or as a keychain attachment so you can always find your keys.
- Apple AirTag (4-Pack) for $79.99 (List Price $99)
- Apple Pencil (1st Gen) for $79.00 (List Price $99)
