Apple Black Friday 2025: iPad Discounts, AirPods Deals & Mac Savings

Although Black Friday is still on the horizon, numerous attractive offers are already surfacing, particularly on Apple products. As the holiday shopping season kicks off, shoppers can find great discounts on a wide range of Apple devices, including iPads, Macs, iPhones, Apple Watches, AirPods, and more. The annual shopping event spans from Friday, November 28, to Monday, December 1, which is commonly referred to as Cyber Monday. Retailers across the board participate in the festivities, and we will be closely monitoring all available deals. Apple itself also participates in the Black Friday frenzy, typically providing gift cards with specific purchases. With so many opportunities for savings over these four days, anyone in the market for Apple devices can expect to find substantial discounts.

However, you don’t have to hold off until Black Friday to snag a great deal on Apple products. Sales are currently ongoing, and we are diligently tracking them to present you with the best offers throughout the holiday season. While Amazon is often a go-to for significant discounts, we will also explore other retailers such as Best Buy, B&H, Walmart in the U.S., and KRCS, AO, Argos, John Lewis, Currys, Laptops Direct, and eBuyer in the U.K. Be sure to check the deals listed below and save this page for future reference!

Apple’s Black Friday 2025 Deals

Every Black Friday, Apple hosts its own shopping event, though it typically does not provide direct discounts. Instead, Apple offers gift cards that can be redeemed on future purchases with the acquisition of select items. During the previous year’s Black Friday event in 2024, Apple provided the following gift card values:

– $25/£20 Apple Gift Card: AirPods 4, iPhone SE, Apple TV 4K, Apple Pencil Pro, and various Magic Keyboards.
– $50/£40 Apple Gift Card: iPhone 14, HomePod, AirPods Pro 2, and iPad 10th gen.
– $75/£60 Apple Gift Card: iPhone 15 and AirPods Max.
– $100/£80 Apple Gift Card: iPad Pro (M4).
– $150/£120 Apple Gift Card: 13-inch MacBook Air (M2).
– $175/£140 Apple Gift Card: 13-inch MacBook Air (M3).
– $200/£160 Apple Gift Card: 15-inch MacBook Air (M3).

For this year, we anticipate similar offers, with newer models taking the place of those listed above. Apple typically reveals the products eligible for its Black Friday offers a week prior to Thanksgiving.
