How Much Would a Mac Cost on Black Friday

Ironically, if you're looking for Apple discounts this Black Friday season, you won't find them at Apple, even if the retailer is bundling Apple gift cards with almost all of its latest products. Don't fear, however, as there are plenty of reliable third-party retailers like Amazon, B&H Photo, and Best Buy that do.

Many of these retailers started discounting some of the most popular Apple products ahead of Black Friday, dropping prices on everything from the latest MacBook Pro to the Apple Watch Series 7. Below, we've rounded up the best deals we've found by category, and we'll continue to update this piece as more deals are published.

Also, if you're looking to save even more, make sure to check out our detailed guide to the best Black Friday deals, where we're highlighting the best deals across all brands.

Apple Watch deals

Apple Watch Series 7

$410
$429
5% off

The latest Apple Watch comes in a number of styles with either GPS or LTE. As we noted in our review, it's a great wearable. Unlike its predecessor, it has a bigger screen, multiple timers, and faster charging. Besides a few iterative changes, however, it's not drastically different than the Series 6.

$410 at Amazon (45mm, GPS, red)
$480 at Amazon (41mm, LTE, starlight aluminum case with starlight band)

Apple Watch Series 6 (40mm, GPS, red)

Apple's last-gen wearable features an always-on display and new sensors that provide the ability to monitor your blood oxygen levels. We gave it a 9 / 10 in our review last year, and while we liked the Apple Watch 7's bigger screen, faster charging, and durability, we noted there wasn't much of a reason to upgrade otherwise.

$349 at Amazon

Apple TV 4K deals

You can get a $50 Apple gift card when you buy an Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD directly from Apple. Amazon is also discounting various configurations of the latest version by $10, selling for example the 32GB 2021 Apple TV 4K for $170 instead of $179.

Apple Pencil deals

Apple Pencil (second-gen)

$99 at Amazon

The first-gen Apple Pencil is currently on sale at Amazon for $80, its second-best price to date. The stylus is compatible with the latest entry-level iPad and a range of earlier models, and it differs from the second-gen model in that you need to plug it into your iPad's Lightning port in order to charge.

Apple AirTag deals

Apple is throwing in a $25 gift card when you buy a four-pack of AirTags from them directly starting November 26th.
