Apple rarely discounts its flagship gear, so sizable price cuts on iPhones, MacBooks and similar items are unusual. The notable exception is around Black Friday, and the lead-up to that shopping event often brings the best chances to save. If you’re hunting for Apple bargains, now is the moment to keep an eye on the offers.
With Black Friday slightly more than two weeks away, retailers have already started rolling out reductions on a range of Apple products — from tiny accessories to full-sized computers. These early discounts may not be as steep as deals on competing brands, but compared with paying sticker price, they’re worth considering. Don’t wait too long: the most attractive bargains typically vanish quickly.
Below are nine standout early Black Friday savings on Apple items that are available right now.
– Apple AirTags (4-pack): was $99, now $69 at Amazon
The second-generation AirTags are seeing a significant price drop when you buy a four-pack. These trackers have improved location accuracy, a louder built-in speaker, fast pairing with iPhone and iPad, and batteries that can last more than a year. If you only need a single AirTag, Amazon is discounting individual units from about $29 down to $23.
– Apple Pencil (USB-C): was $79, now $69 at Amazon
Apple’s entry-level stylus is discounted as well. It doesn’t include advanced features like pressure-sensitive input or wireless charging found on higher-end pens, but it delivers precise point accuracy and the responsiveness you need for note-taking, sketching or marking up documents on compatible iPads.
– Apple AirPods Pro (3rd gen): was $249, now $199 at Amazon
The third-generation AirPods Pro are $50 off and pack Apple’s latest earbud tech. Expect stronger active noise cancellation, an adaptive EQ that adjusts to what you’re hearing, Siri AI support, an adjustable noise/transparency control, roughly eight hours of listening time per charge in the earbuds themselves, and clearer microphones for calls.
– Apple iPad 11-inch: was $449, now $399 at Amazon
If you want Apple’s most affordable iPad without waiting for a newer model, this 11-inch option is on sale. It includes a Retina display, 128GB of storage, 12MP front and rear cameras, Touch ID and the A16 processor. It’s a straightforward tablet that’s well suited for streaming, reading and light productivity — just be mindful of its screen performance in very bright environments.
– Apple AirPods Max (2nd gen): was $549, now $449 at Amazon
Premium over-ear headphones are on sale too. The AirPods Max 2 deliver top-tier active noise cancellation, high-resolution audio over USB-C, a refined and comfortable design and around 20 hours of battery life. They also share many of the Pro earbuds’ features in a full-size package.

– Apple Watch Ultra 3: was $799, now $649 at Best Buy
The rugged Apple Watch Ultra 3 has taken a $150 haircut. It offers a large, easy-to-read display in a titanium case, satellite connectivity, cellular support and a battery life that can reach roughly 42 hours depending on usage. It packs the same health and fitness monitoring tools Apple includes across its watch lineup, but with a build and battery life aimed at outdoor and endurance users.
– Apple Mac mini (M6): was $899, now $799 at Amazon
The recently released M6 Mac mini is already seeing a $100 reduction. You get the compact desktop form factor familiar from the M5 generation but with a meaningful performance boost thanks to the newer chip. The entry-level sale model ships with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
– Apple iPhone Air: was $1,099, now $999 at Best Buy
The slim-profile iPhone Air is discounted by $100. Its lightweight, narrow design makes it appealing if you prefer a phone that’s easy to handle. The device runs on the A19 chip, delivers solid camera quality despite having a single main sensor, and offers strong performance overall; battery life can be more modest due to its compact size.
– Apple MacBook Air (M5): was $1,299, now $1,099 at Amazon
The MacBook Air with the M5 chip is a popular pick for a portable Mac experience and it’s on sale. This configuration includes 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. The M5 Air stands out for its low weight, solid build, fast M5 performance, vivid display and excellent battery endurance — making it a sensible choice if you want a highly portable laptop.
