Black Friday is here, and with it are deals on popular Apple products like iPads, AirPods, Apple Watches, and MacBooks, as well as Apple accessories like the Apple Pencil and Beats headphones. For Apple deals, you'll want to keep an eye on retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart.
So far, we're seeing the best prices of the year on Apple's latest 2nd-gen AirPods Pro, Apple Watch Series 8, certain iPads and Mac laptops, Beats headphones, and even the Apple Watch Ultra.
A quick note on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max — Apple announced that its supply chain is severely hindered by temporary Covid-19 restrictions at the assembly facility responsible for these models in China. If you're waiting for a deal on the iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max, you should buy one now while you can, even if there's no deal available. iPhones rarely get deals, even during big sales events like Black Friday.

What Apple deals can you expect on Black Friday?
Just like last year, you'll find deals on most of Apple's devices this Black Friday. That includes deals on AirPods, iPads, Macs, Apple Watch, Apple TVs, and accessories like the Apple Pencil.
You'll find the best deals for current devices were announced a while ago. In this case, Apple devices released in 2021 have been getting great deals, and we're expecting as much during Black Friday.
Apple just recently announced the 10th-generation iPad and 2022 iPad Pros in October, and we don't anticipate any significant deals for those devices.
However, we have already seen deals for devices that were released in September, like the Apple Watch Series 8 and second-generation AirPods Pro. And Apple devices released earlier this year, like the M2 MacBook Air, M2 13-inch MacBook Pro, M1 iPad Air, have also been getting deals.
We've seen the 2021 Apple TV 4K as low as $100, but we recommend spending the extra $30 for the 2022 model, which has a newer and more powerful A15 processor for a smoother experience and opening apps faster than the 2021 model's A12. The 2022 Apple TV 4K will also stay smooth and fast for much longer than the 2021 model. Plus, the 2022 Apple TV 4K's remote charges via USB-C instead of Lightning, and it comes with 64GB as standard compared to the 32GB in the 2021 model.
Apple's iPhones don't typically get deals if you're looking to buy an iPhone outright, but you'll find the usual tempting trade-in and activation offers from carriers and retailers.
Should you wait until Black Friday for Apple deals?
While there were sales on Apple products ahead of Black Friday, the official Black Friday and Cyber Monday events should offer even better deals, but availability could be limited.
Where are the best places to find Apple deals?
You'll find the best Apple deals from retailers like Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and Amazon, and they'll all have similar competing deals. You should pick whichever retailer is most convenient for you. One thing to be said about retailers with physical locations is that you could have the option to pick up your item on the same day if it's in stock at your nearest store.
Looking for Apple deals on Apple's website will be mostly fruitless, as the company itself rarely hosts a deal for its own products. The company does offer gift cards, however. For last year's Black Friday, Apple offered gift cards of up to $100 when you bought an Apple device.
