Best Apple deals ahead of Black Friday 2023

If you’re looking for an Apple deal, there’s no better time to get one than Black Friday weekend. No matter what you’re looking to buy, you are likely to find a great price on it—possibly the lowest ever.

But Black Friday isn’t just one weekend. We see deals starting in early November and culminating in the post-Thanksgiving weekend from Friday, November 24 to Cyber Monday on Monday, November 27. In the weeks leading up to Black Friday, we expect to see some truly fantastic deals—and as you can see below, the bargains already starting. Here are the best prices leading up to the big shopping extravaganza.

Every year Apple holds a four-day shopping event from Black Friday (November 24) to Cyber Monday (November 27). However, since Apple rarely discount its products, the even consists of gift card offers rather than actual discounts. Usually, the newest products are excluded, so don’t expect any offers on the iPhone 15, Apple Watch Series 9, or M3 MacBooks.

But if you like to shop at the Apple Store, it’s the best time to buy. The best deal from Apple’s Black Friday 2022 shopping event was the iPhone 12, which cost $599/£649 and came with a $50/£50 gift card. You could also get a $50/£50 gift card when you buy an Apple Watch SE, which starts at $249/£259. We expect to see similar deals this year on older iPhones and other products.
