Amazon's Early Apple Deals Are Already Better Than What Apple Has Planned for Black Friday

Apple devices consistently rank among the most coveted items during Black Friday. Virtually every major retailer competes to offer the best possible deal on these products. With both the Amazon Black Friday sale and Best Buy Black Friday sale already active for 2025, the competition for the best discounts has officially begun. There are numerous price reductions on AirPods, MacBooks, and iPads available almost everywhere now—except at the Apple Store itself.

Apple announced its Black Friday plans alongside other sales this week, but the offers were exactly what you would expect from the company. Starting on November 28, customers can earn varying amounts of Apple gift cards when purchasing select items directly from the Apple Store. While this promotion may sound appealing, you can find better Apple deals at Amazon much earlier—right now, in fact.

1$129.99 save 38%$79.99 at AmazonThe most significant Apple deal we have seen so far at Amazon is the latest AirPods Pro 3 dropping to a new low price. These earbuds were announced in September during Apple's iPhone 17 event, so it is surprising to see them already receiving such a substantial discount. The older AirPods 4 are also seeing a significant price cut, now available for just $79.99, which is the lowest we have seen since their initial release.

Outside of the AirPods deals, there is also a strong offer on the 2025 MacBook Air with the M4 chip. We reviewed the latest MacBook Air refresh in the spring and described it as "a gorgeous laptop that’ll get you through all of your daily tasks without breaking a sweat or even needing to be plugged in for long periods of time." This Black Friday discount reduces the price by $250, matching the lowest price we have ever seen on this model.

Regarding tablet deals, the 2025 11-inch Apple iPad has dropped back to its lowest price of the year. This discount has been available intermittently since their release in March, so it is not as exciting as some of the other deals listed here. However, if you are looking for a new iPad this Black Friday, this deal is still worth considering.

Should you wait for better Black Friday deals?

Although both Amazon and Best Buy have launched their official Black Friday sales, it is still early. Both Target and Walmart Black Friday sales are scheduled to begin early next week and may feature Apple discounts we have not yet seen. It is also possible that Amazon could drop prices even further on actual Black Friday, something the retailer has done in the past. Therefore, if you want the best possible prices, you may want to wait until next week before making a purchase.
