Get the best bite out of Apple's Black Friday sales
If you're looking to grab some premium Apple tech at less-than premium prices, Black Friday has proven itself to be one of the best times to do so. There's already a whole heap of early deals to be had across the entire suite of Apple products, with iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, AirPods and Apple Watches all on the menu. So, whether you're looking to upgrade your productivity, watch the best streaming services during your commute or level-up your fitness, there's a Black Friday deal out there for you.
Black Friday is known for giving shoppers awesome deals on basically everything across retailers like Amazon and The Good Guys, but it's best used as an opportunity to grab those expensive big-ticket items that are too big of a decision to buy on a whim. Obviously, this includes TVs, sound systems, appliances and game consoles, but because Apple products are so rarely discounted, Black Friday is a go-to for those looking to nab a deal.
Black Friday 2024 starts November 29, with the weekend running through until Cyber Monday on December 2. You don't have to wait, though. There's already a heap of early deals to be had, and Amazon's Black Friday sale is already live, with low prices on the iPhone 13, AirPods Pro 2 and Apple Watch SE standing out.
However, during Amazon's October Prime Day sale, we expect a whole lot more where that came from when the big day actually hits, so be sure to keep checking this page for the latest and greatest Apple discounts. There's even a chance we see deals on the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max. Ready to find some Apple devices on sale? Scroll down to check out the best offers right now, and how you can maximise your Black Friday weekend.

Black Friday 2024: Best early iPhone deals
If you're looking for a cheap iPhone, this iPhone 13 deal is the one. For less than AU$750 the iPhone 13 is an awesome buy in 2024, with a strong battery life, snappy performance and a more-than-satisfactory camera. If you're weighing up between the iPhone 14 and 13, we'd recommend opting for the older model thanks to its similar performance, slightly better battery and significantly lower price.
Save AU$50
With the RRP of the iPhone 14 coming down in recent days, the iPhone 14 is a great pick-up for those upgrading from anything older than the iPhone 13. Its A15 chip performs excellently, it feels incredible in-hand and you'll have no problems taking photos. Plus, it has a slightly better camera and more RAM than the 13.
Kogan First members can take an extra AU$20 off and you can grab 14 days free. Just remember to cancel (or not)!
With the release of the iPhone 16, the iPhone 15 is a pretty prospect for those looking to buy a top-tier phone without paying flagship prices. It offers a supreme experience, with the strong battery life, beautiful camera, a comfortable and attractive design and snappy performance you'd expect.
Note: this is an import of an international model.
Kogan First members can take an extra AU$20 off and you can grab 14 days free. Just remember to cancel (or not)!
Save AU$369.20
If you're looking for the best experience an iPhone has to offer, and don't want to shell out for the extra size of the 15 Pro Max or price of the 16 Pro, this deal is for you. As well as all the power you could ever need, this model comes with 1TB of storage.
Black Friday 2024: Best early MacBook deals
Save AU$272
This is not far off the cheapest price we've seen for the 16GB M2 MacBook Air, and it's a great option for those who need a capable yet affordable machine. This deal is 17% off vs buying from Apple, but keep in mind the newer M3 Air is also on sale for AU$1517, so you currently save 12.5% by opting for the older M2 version. Want to know if that's the right move? Check out our Apple MacBook Air (M2, 2022) review.
Apple MacBook Air 13.6-inch (M3, 2024): from AU$1,517 (save up to AU$282) at JB Hi-Fi
We think Apple's latest 13.6-inch MacBook Air is the best laptop money can buy right now, so taking up to AU$282 off the premium 16GB and 24GB RAM models at JB Hi-Fi is a deal worth considering. Crazily, this discount makes the 16GB RAM/256GB SSD option cheaper than its 8GB RAM equivalent. Don't stress – the discounts are available on all colours.
• 16GB RAM/256GB SSD: AU$1,799 AU$1,517
• 16GB RAM/512GB SSD: AU$2,097 AU$1,817
• 24GB RAM/512GB SSD: AU$2,399 AU$2,117
Apple MacBook Air 15.3-inch (M3, 2024): from AU$1,927 (save up to AU$272) at JB Hi-Fi
If you're looking for Apple's newest 15.3-inch MacBook Air, JB Hi-Fi currently has modest discounts on various storage and memory options, with a flat AU$272 off each model's RRP (or up to 13%):
• 16GB RAM/256GB SSD: AU$2,099 AU$1,927
• 16GB RAM/512GB SSD: AU$2,499 AU$2,227
• 24GB RAM/512GB SSD: AU$2,799 AU$2,527
This is the first time we've seen deals on these 2024 units, and all four colourways are seeing price-cuts (Space Grey, Silver, Starlight and Midnight).
Apple has no longer sells the M3 MacBook Pro, and instead is taking orders for the new M4 model. While the original Au$5599 RRP here is outdated, this discount makes the M3 Max MacBook Pro 16% cheaper than shelling out for the M4 model with the amount of RAM and SSD.
Save AU$755 compared to the M4 MacBook Pro
While it's not quite the most powerful MacBook on the market – the new M4 chips take that mantle now – the M3 Max is more than enough for most users. The original RRP here has been superseded, but it's currently 11% cheaper than the AU$6,499 you'd pay for the same spec in the newer M4 Max model. That might not seem like much, but it's a decent discount if you don't need to stay cutting edge.
Black Friday 2024: Best early iPad deals
Save AU$162
If you want the portability of the iPad Air, but the display and storage size of a laptop, then this Black Friday deal on the 512GB iPad Air 13-inch was made for you. Bigger and faster than its predecessor, we fell in love with its giant display, formidable power and excellent battery life during our Apple iPad Air 13-inch (2024) review.
The 512GB and 1TB versions are also seeing discounted prices if you need more storage.
Save AU$112
More in the market for a handsomely colourful iPad to do some light work on, make some notes and watch a whole heap of the best streaming services? While this isn't the lowest price we've seen or are likely to see – if you're in the market for a simple, no fuss iPad to read, write and watch on, with cellular connection for on-the-go action this is it.
If you need more storage, the 256GB model is 10% off.
Save AU$113
If you're just looking for a larger iPhone for streaming your favourite TV shows, playing games, scrolling through socials and reading at home, the wifi model is exactly what you're looking for. It can handle some light work, too – just don't expect it to perform like an iPad Pro.
Black Friday 2024: Best early AirPods deals
Save AU$102
Looking for a more affordable smartwatch that can still seamlessly integrate between other Apple devices, lets you communicate and receive notifications easy and handles all your fitness tracking? The Apple Watch SE does all that, and now you can grab it for less than AU$300 – the lowest price we've seen on Amazon.
If you have a larger wrist or just like a bigger display, the 44mm model is also 23% off.
Save AU$102
If you're looking for an iPhone on your wrist, then splurging on the more expensive cellular-enabled Apple Watch SE might be the play. This discount brings it down to less than the RRP of the wifi model above, and with cellular connectivity, your Apple Watch SE can text, call, stream music and more all on its own.
Black Friday 2024: Best early AirPods deals
Save AU$110
This 28% discount brings the best noise-cancelling buds for Apple users to their lowest ever price, beating the previous low by AU$4. The AirPods Pro 2 are an excellent pair of noise-cancelling in-ears, especially (but not only) for iPhone owners – capable of drowning out virtually all external sounds and alongside excellent sound quality. Plus, this latest model comes with a charging case that recharges via USB-C cable.
Save AU$114.50
16% is not a huge discount on a product that's been around a while now, but hey, we take what we can get when it comes to Apple tech, and the furthest these have dropped is only around AU$700. So if you've been lusting after the tech giant's one and only set of cans – one of the best headphones on the market – AU$754.20 ain't bad.
Save AU$100
If pink is you're colour and you've been waiting for these AirPods Max to be discounted, this might be a deal worth jumping on. While you'll pay more than the deal above, an AU$100 saving is nothing to be sneezed at, and there's no guarantee this colour will be down for long.
Black Friday 2024: Early deals on AirTags, Apple TV 4K and more
Undoubtedly the best streaming device on the market – only recently rivalled by the Google TV Streamer 4K – the Apple TV 4K is a must for any fan of the best streaming services, whether you're a member of the Apple family or not. Fast, snappy performance and a clean, intuitive user interface with 4K resolution, it doesn't get any better. For less than AU$200, it's hard to say no to.
Save AU$25.55
Let's face it, there's more than one thing you need to keep track of, so why not save money in the process? Keep tabs on your pet, keys, wallet and TV remote – or suitcase – with the four pack of Apple AirTags. This discount is only 15%, but it brings the individual price of each tag to 34.85 – 29% cheaper than the full-priced 1 pack, and AU$5.15 cheaper than the deal below.
It's not a discount worth shouting from the rooftops, but the singular AirTag rarely gets discounted. If you're an Apple user in need of a Bluetooth tracker to keep tabs on personal items (or pets), grabbing one for 18% off is a tasty little deal. Well, until you see that the discount on the four pack brings the price of each Airtag to just AU$36.75.
Save AU$90
The lowest price we've ever seen – beating the previous low by AU$1 – the Apple Pencil 2 is unlikely to get much lower come Black Friday. The ideal tool for any iPad owner looking for supreme accuracy when sketching a design or writing up note, it’s very lightweight and comfy in your hands and easy to recharge by magnetically attaching it to your iPad.
Just be sure to check its compatibility on the JB Hi-Fi page to ensure it will work with your device.
Looking to take notes, sketch and draw on your iPad? Then grab yourself an Apple Pencil. It's precise, super easy to use and makes a digital artist's job much easier. If you take your drawing a little more seriously, you can also save on the Apple Pencil Pro, which offers better control and a more comfortable hold.
Just be sure to check the compatible devices on the Amazon page to make sure it's the right pencil for you.
How to find Apple Black Friday deals
You can find the answers to all your Black Friday Apple sales questions in our FAQ, but if you just want to know how to find the best deals, we've got you.
The first step is to be on this page – so you're already off to a strong start. To be frank, though, it's unlikely that Apple will be providing massive – if any – discounts on its tech, let alone its newest and best products like the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro and upcoming M4 Macbook, iPad Mini 7 and M4 Mac Mini, which may or may not be releasing soon come Black Friday.
That's why your first stop to snag an Apple deal this Black Friday should be Amazon Australia or another major retailer. You're unlikely to be the only one trying to nab a deal, though (it is Apple, after all) so be prepared to get in quick if you're looking for something specific. Any bargains on Apple are sure not to last too long.deals sell out quickly, particularly on Amazon, so it's important to act fast if you happen to spot a great bargain that works for you.
What Apple Black Friday bargains can you expect?
Apple's top tech are some of the might highly sought after products no matter what time of the year it is, so you can only imagine how many souls will be hoping to snag a heavy discount when a big sales period comes around. Luckily, Black Friday is one of the best opportunities to grab yourself some premium tech from Apple without breaking the bank. Given the sales we've already seen in 2024, and past Black Friday's we've been lucky enough to cover, these are the Apple products we think you'll likely find Black Friday deals on in November.
We can't promise anything, but there's a slim chance that the newest iPhone models – the iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max – might just see their first discounts since they launched in September. Don't expect anything big, though. If they see price-cuts at all, it won't be much more than 5% off select colours and storage options on Amazon. But hey, that's nothing to sneeze at.
If you're looking to pick up one of Apple's older flagship devices, we're much more confident that Black Friday will be flaunting some tasty deals on the Phone 15, 14 and 13 families. At the very least, we expect retailers – if not just Amazon – to match what we have seen from Amazon's two Prime Days in 2024. Matching Prime Day 2 would mean a discount of around 20% on the iPhone 15, and the iPhone 14 and 13 come down to well under AU$1,000 and AU$900 respectively, and we think Black Friday will offer even better deals.
We can guarantee there's Black Friday deals on one Apple product though; AirPods. Which models, though, are anyone's guess. The all-new Apple AirPods 4 might receive their first discount, but we can all-but promise the Apple AirPods Pro 2 and Apple AirPods Max One will see significant discounts come Black Friday. They were very popular during every sale of 2024, and we expect Black Friday to provide the year's best discounts.
Of course, with a new iPad Mini 7 and M4 Macbooks on the way, it's safe to assume that older models will be seeing a few tasty deals. And, Apple Watches are always on the deal menu. The Apple Watch Series 9, Apple Watch SE and even the Apple Watch Ultra should all be seeing discounts across various retailers, but Amazon should be the first stop.
Apple Black Friday sales FAQs
Why is it called Apple
There are two reasons that Steve Jobs named his computer company Apple. One is a little funny, and the other is plenty petty, but they're both good reasons. Steve Jobs named Apple as such one, because he loves the fruit, and two, because 'Apple' comes before Atari in the phone book.
Why is the Apple logo bitten?
While there are a whole heap of rumours as to why Apple's apple logo is bitten – even going as far as to ask whether it's alluding to the forbidden fruit of the Garden of Eden – Rob Janoff, the lead graphic designer who created the logo way back in 1977, says that the reason the bite was added was to differentiate its appearance from the of a cherry.
Why is Apple so expensive?
Apple is a top-tier manufacturer of premium tech products. Love them or hate them, they make products that performs well and that people love, and the prices reflect that. That being said, Apple isn't considerably more expensive than any of its competitors.
For example, the 1TB iPhone 16 Pro Max is the biggest, most powerful iPhone with the largest amount of storage Apple offers. It retails for AU$2,849. The 1TB Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra will set you back AU$2,799, while the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 can cost as much as AU$2,999.
What is Apple's most expensive product?
While the 1TB iPhone 16 Pro Max is certainly expensive, its AU$2,849 price tag is still far away from being Apple's most expensive product. For that, we have to lean more into computing rather than phones – there's simply only so much cost you can fit into something the size of a phone.
In fact, the most expensive item you can buy from Apple right now is the Mac Pro – Apple's desktop PC – and it's wildly expensive. While it starts at AU$12,999 – yes, AU$12,999 – its price can get up to as much as AU$20,408. Second to the Mac Pro, is the Pro Display XDR, which can be as expensive as AU$12,047.
Does Apple have a sale on Black Friday?
While it's likely that Apple itself will be flaunting some discounts come Black Friday 2024, it's unlikely that Apple will be the place to shop if you're looking for the best deals.
If you're looking to snag a deal on Apple products this Black Friday, it's likely that retailers like Amazon, The Good Guys, Kogan and JB Hi-Fi will be boasting the biggest deals. If the past is anything to go by, cheap iPad's like the 10.2-inch and 10.9-inch will be the ones to have, but a lot can change in a year.
Does Apple do Cyber Monday?
Yes! Again, like Black Friday, we expect Apple to have some deals on Cyber Monday across a range of its products. However, it's likely that Amazon, JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys and Kogan will be offering bigger discounts.
Does the Apple Store have sales?
Yep! While it's unlikely that they offer bigger sales or better discounts than a retailer like Amazon, Apple does offer sale prices. Apple discount codes can help bring the price down,
When are Apple products cheapest?
While there is no one day that Apple products receive guaranteed all-time low prices, in our experience, Apple products are cheapest during end-of-year sales, starting with Black Friday and Cyber Monday, leading up until Christmas and ending with Boxing Day sales.
However, there is a chance that work-focused Apple tech like iPads and MacBooks receive their cheapest prices during the end of financial year period, and EOFY sales.
Does Apple have a student discount?
Yes, Apple does offer a discount for students. In fact, there's an entire store front that offers special education prices for students. Aimed at both university students and educators, Apple's education store allows them to save up to thousands of dollars on tech to help them in their endeavours, and even lets them get freebies – like AirPods – with the purchase of a MacBook or iPad. Right now, you can save on the MacBook Air, iPad Air, iPad Mini and more.
Does Apple have a sale for Christmas?
Yes! While there's no name for it, Apple, along with basically every other retailer looking to boost sales in the leadup to Christmas, will be offering significant discounts. This starts with Black Friday on November 29, and starts up again a few weeks out from December 25.
