Rarely do we come across deals on Apple’s latest offerings — let alone its products from a year ago. But every November, as Black Friday rolls around, major retailers like Amazon and Best Buy rush to stock up deals on the iPhone-maker’s greatest hits, including AirPods and MacBooks. If you’ve been patient enough to hold your wallet through Apple’s onslaught of product launches this fall, then now may be the best time to throw it. Below are the best deals that you can find on Apple products going into Black Friday — with more to come the week of.
$52 off
The Apple AirPods Pro — though released in 2019 — is still a tried-and-true wireless earbud today. The AirPods Pro fixes most, if not all, the issues that the original bold-looking AirPods faced, including fit in the ears, battery life, and the lack of noise cancellation and wireless charging. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that for our best wireless earbuds list of 2021, the AirPods Pro took the crown. Today, you can buy the Apple earbuds for just $197 ($52 off).
Up to $1,000 off
For many, the iPhone 13 is the Goldilocks of the Apple’s latest smartphone lineup. It has a reliable camera system, strong performance (thanks to Apple’s A15 Bionic processor), and all the 5G connectivity you’ll need for the foreseeable future. Verizon is currently running a deal for new and existing customers which offers up to $800 off on the iPhone 13 when you trade-in an eligible device, and on an eligible unlimited data plan. For new customers switching over, the carrier will even throw in a gift card worth up to $1,000.
$100 off
The MacBook Air has always been a go-to option for most consumers, especially students. So when Apple upgraded its 2020 model with an in-house M1 Chip and buffed the battery life, it became a no-brainer for any best laptops lists. Now, the 13-inch model can be yours for just $899 ($100). For the price, you get 256GB of built-in storage and a sleek-looking design.
$500 off
The MacBook Pro 13” (2020) doesn’t have Apple’s latest M1 chip baked in, but still performs like a champ for business and casual users alike. It features a 10th Gen Core i5 processor, 16GB RAM, and 1TB of SSD storage, making for a configuration that will surely accomplish any task you throw at it. With a Costco membership, you can pick up the MacBook in Silver for $1,449.99 ($500 off).
$50 off
Coming with Apple’s m1 chip and a gorgeous 12.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR display, the Apple iPad Pro (2021) is being discounted on Amazon to $1,069 ($50 off). For the price, you get an immersive 12.9-inch tablet, all the iPadOS fix-ins, and a marriage of hardware and software that is designed for professional work and play. It’s easily one of the most capable tablet offerings on the market today.
$290 off
The stainless steel Apple Watch with Milanese Loop typically costs a premium. If you can settle for fewer fitness tracking features and an older design, the Apple Watch Series 5 (40mm) is still a reliable and fashionable timepiece. It currently sells for $459 ($290 off) on Amazon.
$70 off
Fancy premium over-the-ear style headphones? The Apple AirPods Max is a top choice. Toss in a $70 discount (and Prime shipping if you have a membership) and the new $479 asking price is one that will surely entice audiophiles and non-audiophiles alike.
$25 off
The Apple HomePod mini is not the cheapest smart speaker out there, but a great companion for current and soon-to-be Apple users. Currently, Best Buy has the hub on sale for $149.97. If you’re asking why the price is $50 more than the HomePod mini’s retail price of $99, that’s because Best Buy is throwing in 2 sets of Nanoleaf Essentials Smart LED lightstrips (value of $75). Buying the set saves you $25 and makes for a hands-free light show at home.
