Apple launches its Black Friday sales event, but these deals already beat it

Apple Watch Series 9 (45mm): was $429.99 now $359 at Walmart
New record-low price: We didn't expect to see such a big discount on the Watch 9 so soon, given it only came out in October. But this $70 price cut sees it fall to its lowest price so far, and one that may not be bettered in the Black Friday sales. The Series 9 brings a more powerful chip, brighter display and 18 hours of battery life. With Apple's new double-tap feature also on board to give you hands-free controls, it's one of the best smartwatches we've tested.

AirPods 3rd Gen: was $169 now $139.99 at Amazon
Amazon has just dropped the price of Apple's latest AirPods back down the level they were at last week – which is only $10 off their record low. Check out our Apple AirPods 3 review to our full verdict on them, but we called them 'a big step up from their predecessors' and a 'worthy upgrade' if you have older AirPods.

If you're looking to get a new iPhone and Apple TV, then you're unlikely to find a better deal than this from Verizon. For every iPhone 15 series purchase, the carrier is offering a a free Apple TV 4K and six months of the Apple One subscription. You can also combine this promotion with the various trade-ins and other deals that it's currently offering.

Apple iPad 10.2 2021 (64GB): was $329 now $229 at Amazon
This 9th-gen iPad doesn't qualify for Apple's Shopping Event gift cards, but fortunately this excellent deal has brought it down to a record-low price of $229. If you mainly need a table for browsing, streaming movies and some light work, then this 10.2-inch iPad is a fine choice – particularly with today's $100 discount.

Apple 2023 MacBook Air 15 M2 laptop: was $1,299.99 now $1,049 at Amazon
This hefty 19% discount on the new MacBook Air M2 sees it match the lowest price we've seen for it. To get the full discount, just apply the voucher that's included on the page. The 2023 MacBook Air combines a 15.3-inch liquid retina display with Apple's powerful M2 chip and an impressive 18 hours of battery life.

iPhone 12: was £549 now £449 at John Lewis
This John Lewis deal takes the iPhone 12 down a price that's lower than Amazon – in fact, we've never seen it cheaper at the retailer. Right now, only the red version is still available at this price. But if you want a different one, then Very is currently offering the same deal.

iPhone 13: was £599 now £549 at Amazon
The recent launch of the iPhone 15 has been good news for anyone looking for discounts on the iPhone 13 – it's now available for £50 off at Amazon. Although if you have an iPhone to trade in, you may be better off picking Apple over Amazon due to its trade-in offers.

NEW MacBook Pro 14-inch (M3, 2023): was £1,699 now £1,569 at Amazon
It's only been out a few weeks, but Amazon has already cut £130 from the price of the latest MacBook Pro 14-inch model. Considering the Pro range isn't included in Apple's Shopping Event gift vouchers, that's very good news indeed. This model has the base M3 chip, which is still more than enough for most tasks unless you're looking for more memory.

MacBook Air (M1, 2020): was £999 now £799 at Amazon
While there's now a newer M2 Air, this M1 model is still a great option that's more than powerful enough for everyday tasks – and it's a particularly good choice at this price. While it has been £24 cheaper before, it's still a great deal considering its impressive battery life and performance. Our MacBook Air M1 review called it a 'game-changer' and that's still the case if you need a great-value MacBook.
