They're finally here – the Apple Black Friday discounts have arrived and it's the perfect time to stock up on tech, just in time for Christmas. You can now save some serious money on iPads, MacBooks, iPhones, Apple Pencils, Airpods and more. It's difficult to find good Apple discounts throughout the year but there are always exceptions for Black Friday.

Over the past few months, we have seen the arrival of a number of new and exciting Apple products, from the iPhone 13, to the brand new MacBook Pro. Luckily for us, this means that there are a number of price cuts on earlier products. But if you're on the hunt for the newest products, then you're also in luck, as some of the 2021 products are also discounted (but they're selling out fast).

We are updating this page with the latest discounts regularly, so make sure you bookmark it and keep heading back to see what's hot. But for now, read on to discover the best prices on Apple products.

Apple Black Friday: What happened last year?

Apple iPad: 2020 gave us some amazing Apple Black Friday deals, with £50 to be saved on the 2019 iPad and the odd $30 discount on the iPad Air. With new iPad Pros and the amazing new iPad mini, we're not only seeing discounts on older models but also the odd saving on brand new gear including that lovely iPad mini 6. You can see the best current deals below.

Apple MacBook: It's hard to forget last year's big Apple surprise in the form of discounts on the brand new MacBook Pro. Apple used to have a reputation for sticking close to full price whatever, but 2020 saw up to £107 off the M1 MacBook Pro, and this is a trend that's repeating this year. You can expect bigger and better savings on the 2020 model this year, and we wouldn't be surprised to see smaller discounts on the new 14- and 16-inch models closer to Black Friday itself.

We also saw savings on older models last year, including the 16-inch MacBook Pro (2020), which had £200 off at Currys, taking it to £1,049. Older MacBook Airs, such as the 2020 model, saw big discounts, too including $170 off at B&H Photo, taking the price down to $929 last year. Fingers crossed for something similar this year. You can find the best current deals below.

Apple AirPods: There were discounts to be found across the AirPods range in 2020, including $20 off AirPods Pro. There are even better AirPods Pro deals to be found this year, even on the updated version with MagSafe charging case, as well as discounts on older AirPods.

Unsurprisingly we're not seeing any deals on the new AirPods 3, but discounts on the super-expensive AirPods Max have got us excited. There should be more deals as we get closer to Black Friday; watch this space!

Apple Watch: There are almost too many versions of the Apple Watch to keep track of, so it'll be hard to avoid Black Friday savings this year as long as you're not set on the new Watch Series 7; we've seen a tiny discount on it, but nothing to write home about or even send a quick text. However last year Walmart had a Black Friday Apple Watch deal with $70 off the Series 6, so there's a chance that you could get more money off closer to Black Friday itself. Whatever happens, you can be sure of decent Black Friday or Cyber Monday Apple Watch deals on older models.

Apple iPhone: In terms of the iPhone, the country you're in and the carrier and contract you want to go with will determine the type of discount you can get. We're already seeing some deals on the brand new iPhone 13 – so that bodes well for anyone looking for an older iPhone, too.

Apple Black Friday: when is it?

The clock's ticking so we're sure you know by now that Black Friday falls on the day after Thanksgiving in the US, which means it's a few short days away on 26 November, with Cyber Monday following hot on its heels on 29 November. But the deals are already happening, so why wait?

With so many retailers in competition for your custom, not to mention the need to clear older stock, discounts roll our well in advance of the big day. That said, most hold back the biggest headline Apple deals for the official Black Friday weekend, so you have to weigh up whether to hold out for bigger Apple savings.

Does Apple have Black Friday sales?

In short: no. While Apple's happy to let third-party retailers discount its gear, you won't find any Apple Black Friday deals at the Apple Store; instead it rewards shoppers with Black Friday gift cards that you can redeem against later purchases.

Last year, you could get an Apple Black Friday gift card worth up to $200 / £160, but you had to buy a MacBook to get the top gift card. The upshot is if you're hoping to save actual money, you're generally better off looking at other retailers that sell Apple products rather than heading directly to Apple itself.

How to get the best Apple Black Friday deals

If you're dreaming of getting a vast discount on that brand new 16-inch MacBook Pro, forget about it. Huge Apple Black Friday discounts never really happen; Apple kit tends to hold its value and serious savings aren't a thing that ever crop up, but if you're happy to pay a little less than full price for some new Apple gear, Black Friday's your best opportunity. And frankly even a small saving on a MacBook or iPad is worth grabbing.

We've already established that the Apple Store isn't the place to get Apple Black Friday deals. Instead you should decide what hardware you're after and how much you want to pay for it, then check out some third-party retailers. Amazon, Currys and B&H Photo offered some of the biggest discounts last year, which included dropping the price of the all-new MacBook Pro and MacBook Air by almost 10 per cent.

For the best deals without having to trawl through retailers, stick with us. We'll be providing direct links to all of the best Apple Black Friday deals for 2021 right here on this page, so keep checking back.
