Black Friday is here, and we’re updating this story hourly. To find the best deals in every category, follow all of our Black Friday coverage.
Black Friday is kind of the time to invest in a new pair of AirPods, but Apple doesn’t run sales on its own website. Instead, you’ll find the best deals on Apple products via Amazon and big box retailers like Walmart and Best Buy. It can all be a bit overwhelming, and the pricing wars are competitive. So I’ve compiled the most noteworthy discounts below, on everything from the aforementioned AirPods, to AirTags and MacBooks. I’ll be updating this story with more deals as they go live, so check back in. But if you see something you like, act now, as significantly discounted items tend to go out of stock quickly.
For more Black Friday deals, check out our deal editor’s definitive guide. And sign up for the Strategist Sales Alert newsletter for the most up-to-date information.
