When shopping for Apple products, keep one rule in mind: You never get the best price at the Apple Store. Instead, shop at authorized Apple resellers such as Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target and other familiar names. They’ll often have discounts of $30 to $100 or more on a wide variety of Apple products.
Great Deals Coming Soon
Here are some of the best deals about to drop. They’ll be hitting shelves (and online carts) next week.
- Apple AirPods Pro will be priced at $159 next week at Walmart while supplies last. This is a $90 savings versus the Apple Store. Maximize your comfort with customizable sizing on these AirPods Pro headphones with active noise cancellation and up to 4.5 hours of listening time on a single charge. This is the 2021 version of the Pro that includes the MagSafe-compatible charging case. Read our comparison of the AirPods Pro and the AirPods 3.
- Walmart is marking the Apple Watch Series 3 down next week, cutting the cost to just $109. While the price is cheap, this model is pretty old, making it tough to recommend.
- Staples and Target are going to knock $50 off the price of the 40mm and 44mm Apple Watch SE. The Watch SE is the step-down model in Apple’s 2020 smartwatch line, missing features like the always-on screen and EKG function. However, it does have a more powerful processor and a larger Retina display. We would recommend this over the S3. Other retailers may price-match the $229 deal that runs from Nov. 21 through Nov. 27.
Best AirPods Deals
There are several great options for AirPods available, and with Black Friday deals rolling in, now is the time to find the right option for you at the best price. Here’s what we’ve found so far:
- Apple AirPods (2nd gen): $119 (save $10 versus the Apple Store)
- Apple AirPods (3rd gen): $175 (save $5)
- Apple AirPods Max: $479 (save $70)
Best Deals on Apple Watch
The Apple Watch Series 7 is now available. That means sizable discounts are available right now on the previous-generation Series 6 and smaller savings on the midrange Watch SE. You can also find the Apple Watch Series 3 for as low as $169, but that model is so old at this point, we recommend you steer clear of it and go for the SE instead.
More Apple Watch deals:
- Apple Watch SE (40mm, blue): $270 (save $9 vs. Apple Store)
- The new Apple Watch Series 7: Starts at $399 (no discounts so far)
Best Deals on iPads
We’ve previously seen the new 2021 iPad and iPad Mini drop by $30 or $50, respectively, while the current iPad Pro and iPad Air models are up to $100 off at times. These could drop further in the days ahead.
More current early Black Friday deals on iPads:
- Apple iPad Pro 12.9-inch, Wi-Fi (128GB): $999 (save $100 versus Apple Store)
- Apple iPad Air 2020, 10.9-inch (256GB): $699 (save $50 versus Apple Store)
Best Accessory Deals
If you’re investing in one of the iPads, it may be time to grab you an Apple Pencil as well. This accessory helps with artistic and professional endeavors, and right now it’s only a hundred bucks.
Best Deals on Apple MacBooks
The MacBook is experiencing a renaissance, thanks to the latest models being powered by Apple’s supercharged M1 and M1 Pro/Max CPUs. The models are often $50 to $100 less than the Apple Store price at many retailers, and those prices may dip further in November and December.

Best Deals on Apple Desktops
If a laptop isn’t your speed, Apple offers two flavors of consumer desktops: the Mac Mini (add your own keyboard, mouse and monitor) and the iMac, an all-in-one. Both the Mini and the 24-inch iMac have been updated to Apple’s new M1 chip. Most folks should steer clear of the larger 27-inch iMac until it gets its inevitable M1 upgrade (rumored to be coming in 2022).
More deals on Apple desktops:
- Apple Mac Mini M1 2020 (256GB): $649 (save $50)
- Apple iMac M1 2021 (24-inch, 256GB): $1,499 (no discounts yet)
Best Apple TV Deals
You’ll pay a big premium for an Apple TV box versus sub-$50 rivals like Roku, Fire TV and Chromecast models. But for Apple completists — and those who want a more privacy-friendly streaming experience — the Apple TV is worth it. Note that you should steer clear of any models that aren’t the 2021 model (below) with the improved remote and latest chip.
