Early shopping is the name of the game this holiday season. The supply chain is out of whack, shipping delays abound, and—here’s the good news—Black Friday sales are starting earlier than ever. If you’re in the market for Apple products, there are some serious savings to be had if you shop now. The early bird gets the worm Apple? Yeah, let’s go with that!
Does Apple offer Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales?
Year after year, Apple’s latest gadgets make their way the tip-top of millions of wish lists: AirPods, Apple Watches, iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks are among the most coveted tech gifts out there. If you’re an Apple user yourself, you’ll know that all of those gadgets are also big-ticket items and sales are few and far between. For example, Apple’s own version of Black Friday, which starts on Nov. 26, is usually less of a sale and more of a special shopping promotion—they give out free Apple Store gift cards worth up to $100 to customers who buy eligible products. The store card makes a pretty sweet accompaniment to any Apple gift you’re giving, but is less compelling for those hoping to save on the brand’s latest tech gadgets up front.
Where to Shop Apple Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deals
If you want to avoid paying full price, your best bet is shopping from the company’s partnered retailers, like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. We sleuthed the internet to find some of the best pre-Black Friday sales and deals on our favorite Apple products. Be sure to take advantage of these deals before it’s too late—saving on Apple tech is top of mind for many shoppers and stock at major retailers like Amazon and Walmart always gets competitive during peak holiday shopping season.
