Best Black Friday Apple deals at Walmart, Amazon, and beyond

Here are the best Black Friday deals on Apple devices and accessories as of Nov. 25:

  • BEST IPHONE DEAL: iPhone 12 — free at T-Mobile when you join and trade in a qualifying iPhone
  • BEST AIRPODS DEAL: AirPods Pro —save $80 at Amazon 
  • BEST APPLE WATCH DEAL: Apple Watch Series 6 — save up to $109.02 on select variants at Amazon and Walmart
  • BEST IPAD DEAL: iPad (WiFi + Cellular, 32GB or 128GB) — save $200 at Best Buy with a two-year Verizon contract
  • BEST MACBOOK DEAL: Apple MacBook Air (early 2020, 256GB) — save $100 on Amazon

From a new iPhone lineup to two new iPads, a pair of new Apple Watches, and some updated MacBooks with an in-house M1 chip, Tim Cook and company have been pumping out tons of new Apple devices this fall

In previous years, it would be months before we saw any decent deals on those new releases. But 2020 is not like most years.

This year’s Black Friday sales feature huge savings on the new iPad Air, the Apple Watch Series 6 and SE, the just-released iPhone 12, and more of the latest Apple products in addition to previous-gen models — and in an even more shocking twist, very few variants are completely out of stock. (That includes the AirPods Pro, which have been at least $50 off all month long — those bad boys should be long sold out everywhere, but nope.)

Granted, this doesn’t mean a complete shakeup for Apple’s handling of the holiday shopping season: The brand itself is staying out of the Black Friday fray per usual (aside from some very meh gift card offers that kick off Nov. 27), leaving the likes of AmazonWalmart, and Best Buy to try to one-up the others’ Apple deals, and forcing shoppers to do some serious homework comparing prices across retailers. But don’t fret — we’re already on the case.

Keep scrolling to check out the best Apple deals we could find as of Nov. 25.

IPHONES

Our top pick: iPhone 12

  • A14 Bionic chip
  • 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display
  • 64GB, 128GB, or 256GB of storage space

Walmart and Best Buy will both give you a deal on an Apple smartphone if you sign up for an installment plan with select carriers, but you’ll save the most money by going directly through them.

WIth that in mind, T-Mobile has the ultimate Black Friday iPhone offer where you can get the all-new, 5G-enabled iPhone 12 for free when you activate a new line (or upgrade an existing one) and trade in a qualifying older model. (You’ll have to purchase the phone on a monthly payment plan — its base model starts at $799 — and then T-Mobile will give you your money back in the form of credits.)

AT&T and Verizon, meanwhile, will both give you up to $700 off the iPhone 12 (bringing its base model down to just $99) with a new unlimited data line and a qualifying trade-in.

Apple’s bestselling noise-canceling earbuds will go on sale at Walmart for a mere $169 around 7 p.m. EST tonight (Wednesday, Nov. 25) — that’s a whole $80 off their $249 MSRP, which is their biggest-ever discount by far. But if you can’t wait ’til then — or worry about that deal selling out, which is extremely plausible — you can grab a pair at Best Buy ($199) or Amazon right now for only $169.
