Black Friday is arguably the best time of the year to shop for Apple tech. While the tech giant doesn’t run sales of its own, other retailers often offer their own markdowns during this holiday sales event. Get a head start now, and you won’t need to wait until the holiday weekend to score markdowns on AirPods, MacBooks, Apple Watches, and other popular Apple products. Amazon is already offering over a dozen lead-up deals. Here, we’ll detail which Apple discounts are worth shopping early and which products you should wait to buy.

Shop Apple Deals on Amazon

If you’re going to shop one product early, make it Apple AirTags, which dropped to their lowest price ever in time for holiday travel. Individual trackers are $23, but the discounted four-pack brings the cost down to $20 apiece.

Now 29% Off

The new AirPods 5 and trendy EarPods remain at full price (for now), but other headphones are already discounted. Currently, you can save $50 on the noise-canceling AirPods Pro 3 and $100 on the over-the-ear AirPods Max 2. These products could drop further during Amazon’s Turkey 12 sale—the e-tailer’s name for this year’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday event—but they could also sell out, as they have in years past.

If you’re in need of a new laptop, now’s a good time to make the purchase. Select MacBook models are already discounted. The 2026 Pro is still full price, but the 2026 Air is up to 15 percent off. The budget-friendly MacBook Neo hasn’t gone on sale yet, though we suspect it will be discounted for the first time during Amazon’s Turkey 12 sales event.

Now 15% Off

Apple Watch shoppers may want to wait, depending on the model they’re after. The Series 12 and SE 3 haven’t budged, but you can already save up to $100 on the giftable Ultra 4.

Now 12% Off

All three iPad models are currently marked down on Amazon. Based on past price history, there’s a small chance the Pro, Air, and classic 11-inch iPad will see a slightly deeper discount during the official sale, but we don’t expect prices to drop significantly. We’re also seeing strong early deals on Apple accessories like keyboards and chargers.
