Apple is a beloved brand, thanks to its sleek design and next-generation tech products. From iPhones, MacBooks and iPads, to AirPods, Watches and accessories, there truly is an Apple product for everyone. Not only do these gadgets look good, but they always set the standard for high performance, with many people opting to only purchase from the Apple suite of products. The only negative is the expensive price tag, which makes Apple a perfect candidate for Black Friday deals. 

While there are no Apple Black Friday deals from the brand itself, there are several retail partners that offer great deals during the shopping holiday. Whether you’re buying into the brand for the first time or looking to round out an existing collection, this is a great time to purchase Apple products.

Best Apple Watch Black Friday Deals

Apple Watch Black Friday sitewide sales

AT&T is offering $300 off when you buy two Apple Watches (deal applies to all product types and generations). 

Walmart is offering $50 off all Apple Watch Series 9 Products (deal applies to GPS, GPS & Cellular, 41mm and 45mm).

Select Black Friday Apple Watch deals 

Apple Watch SE 2nd Generation GPS 44mm

This Apple Watch SE is the newest model available (2nd Gen) which is why the discount is only $20 (bringing the price to $259.99), but that means you’ll get advanced fitness tracking and 18 hours of battery life in this GPS-connected watch. This is the larger size at 44mm but it doesn’t support cellular connectivity, if that’s important to you.

Apple Watch Series 7 GPS & Cellular 45mm Stainless Steel

Apple no longer makes the Series 7, so this Apple Watch is a rare find and one of the most discounted Apple products we found at nearly half price ($388.94, a savings of $360). The stainless steel material and large 45mm face look expensive, plus it still delivers health tracking and cellular service.

Apple Watch Series 8 GPS 41mm Aluminum Case 

The Series 8 has only just been replaced by the Series 9, so you’re still getting a lot of performance in this watch that’s now available for just under $300. You’ll need to pay more for cellular connectivity, but this is great for health and fitness tracking.

What you need to know for Black Friday

When is Black Friday? 

Black Friday is often seen as the opening day of the holiday shopping period, as it takes place the day after Thanksgiving. As Thanksgiving happens on the fourth Thursday of November each year, that means it falls on November 23rd this year. Black Friday will therefore occur on Friday, November 24, 2023.

Sales usually begin at 12:01 AM on Friday 24th and run until midnight that night, although some retailers will choose to extend the sale through the weekend (Sunday, November 26th). There will also be retailers that extend through Cyber Monday (November 27th) and others that begin their sales early, so be sure to check each retailer’s individual sales dates.

What deals should I expect on Apple products? 

As Apple products can be pricey, these products are able to benefit from quite substantial discounts come Black Friday. Although some of the most affordable Apple accessories are under $100, the majority of Apple items are priced from $100-$4000, leading to a couple hundred dollars off certain products. Older generations and models will benefit from these discounts the most, with the newest products seeing the smallest discount in pricing. If you’re looking to get the biggest savings possible, consider purchasing a release from one of the previous generations of products.

What kind of Apple deals did they have last year?

Every year, Apple products have some good deals at retailers like Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy. Expensive products like MacBooks, iPhones and iPads saw discounts of hundreds of dollars, while items like AirPods and Watches had discounts in the $50-100 range. The older generations saw greater discounts than the new ones. 

How to get a good deal on Apple products on Black Friday

Apple has trademarked a lot of its brand names, specifically “iPads,” “iPhones,” “MacBooks,” and “AirPods.” This makes them great candidates for Google alerts, as there is less chance of a competitor’s products infiltrating the search. For Apple Watches, be sure to type the full product name to get the right results. If possible, set an alert for the full product name and generation of the model, so you can only get alerted to deals for the specific product you’re looking for. For example, set an alert for “Apple Watch Series 9 GPS & Cellular 41mm,” not just “Apple Watch.”

Another option is to regularly check the main retailers websites that offer Black Friday tech deals. These tend to be Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy, although B&H Photo & Video, Target and the major network carriers often have deals, too. If you can’t manually check in regularly, sign up for email alerts and newsletters directly from those brands, so you hear about the deals first.

How to choose the best Apple products for you

Whether you need a phone, a laptop, a tablet or a smartwatch, Apple has something for everyone. Within each category, a few different options are offered to suit different preferences. 

There is usually a base price option that offers less storage and slightly slower processing power, but still the stylish design and innovative technology associated with the brand. This is a great option for anyone wanting to try out a new product before committing, or for younger consumers who are new to Apple. 

At the other end of the spectrum are the products which feature the most advanced technology Apple offers, usually in a larger format and with greater storage capacity. These are some of the most powerful products in the market and make a great choice for anyone who wants or needs a top-of-the-line purchase. 

If your priority is portability, Apple offers a few smaller, lightweight options in some of its larger product categories (MacBooks Black Friday Deals, iPad Black Friday Deals, iPhone Black Friday Deals) that may be the right fit. These still offer great performance, but are slightly less powerful than their larger counterparts.

Where to find Black Friday deals on Apple Products

While Apple stores do not offer a traditional Black Friday sale, you can still find deals at retailers known for the Black Friday tech deals and Black Friday phone deals. Here are just a few retailers to keep an eye on:
