We're officially in the month of Black Friday, which will take place on Friday, November 29 in 2024. As always, this will be the best time of the year to shop for great deals, including popular Apple products like AirPods, iPad, Apple Watch, and more.

Specifically, in this article we're sharing all of the Apple products that currently have all-time low prices, or discounts that are at least very close to their record-low prices. Of course, these are early Black Friday deals, so even better discounts could emerge later in the month, but if you're shopping right now these are all the best prices around.

Best Early Deals

AirPods

Starting with AirPods, you'll find a wide selection of solid deals across the AirPods lineup on Amazon this week. This includes a $79 discount on the popular AirPods Pro 2 at $169.99, as well as all-time low prices on the AirPods 4.

Black Friday deals are not really what they used to be. For one, it’s spread out throughout the entire month of November now. Secondly, the deals available are not much better and in some cases worse than those available throughout the year.

Shops these days seem to have permasales.
 
Of course, these are early Black Friday deals,....
🤣 These regular run-of-the-mill sale prices are not "early Black Friday deals"

... so even better discounts could emerge later in the month, but if you're shopping right now these are all the best prices around.
Better discounts will emerge later in the month.

Amazon hasn't even launched their annual $200 Amazon Gift Card promo for getting their Amazon Prime Visa card yet that gives you 5% cash back.
 
That's a pretty huge discount on the Mini 7 actually, this early in the release cycle. Too bad already got mine from Best Buy.
 
For Europeans: Amazon.de has incredible discounts on Macbook Airs. Mostly, but not only, 8GB RAM models.

13” M2 Air 8/256 €899, 8/512 €1049 (that’s 20% discount)
13” M3 Air 16/512 €1399 (Apple: €1529), 8/512 €1229
15” M5 Air 8/512 €1249

Also some less incredible discounts on iPads of all sorts. M2 Air is €650 (Apple: €719).
 
sadly this is through Amazon, which has never yet managed to deliver any order I've made involving Apple products, with no explanation about why they can't do so

I think at this point it's better to wait until after Christmas. If sales don't go as well as Apple hopes, there will be plenty to choose from at even better prices. If not, well, everything we have now is still perfectly functional, and we can wait another quarter or half to pull the trigger. Maybe another year, even.
 
I ended up getting the mini and new pencil at the discounted price. Lots of money for a “nice to have” thing but heck, both were on sale, so it’s like I’m saving money, right ? :)
