With all the great Apple Black Friday deals each year, the holidays are one of the best times to save on Apple products. If you’re in the market for an Apple Watch, AirPods, iPad, iPhone, or Mac, this is the time to shop for up to 50% in savings.

Retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Target are eager to undercut each other in a race to the bottom, and the result is a lower price for us. So no matter what deal you see, always double-check all three stores before you pull the trigger on an Apple purchase.

I dug into all the Apple deals to show you where the best Black Friday sales are, including all the can’t-miss deals on Apple products you can get right now.

Where can I find the best Apple Black Friday deals?

Amazon consistently has the lowest prices on Apple products overall. Your next best shot at iPad Black Friday deals is to check Walmart and Target. They’ll likely be racing to catch up with Amazon’s low prices from now through Black Friday.

Target has a holiday price match guarantee, too. That means if you purchase something at Target and it drops in price from now through Dec. 24, you can request the lower sale price (and get the absolute best deal of the season at Target). You’ll also save an extra 5% with your Target RedCard.

Check out Target’s full price match policy.

Does the Apple store do Black Friday?

The Apple store usually has the same Black Friday offer — Apple gift cards with select purchases. In 2022, Apple offered up to $250 in Apple gift cards when you buy an eligible iPhone, Apple Watch, Mac, AirPods, and more products directly from the Apple store or Apple.com. This deal started on November 25, 2022.

Expect the biggest savings on Apple Watches and AirPods.

Apple Watches and Apple AirPods typically have the biggest Black Friday discounts, and they’re also the number #1 bestselling Apple products on Black Friday.

Retailers are a lot more stingy with Apple Black Friday savings on iPads and MacBooks. A good deal hovers in the 8% – 10% off range. It doesn’t seem like a lot, but it’s a discount to get excited about when it comes to these two models.
