Many of the deals below offer record low prices on Apple products. But there’s no guarantee that the inventory will last or the prices will not change, because Apple product sales can fluctuate drastically during the holidays. If you’re in need of a new device now or want to ensure your holiday shopping is done ahead of the big rush, the offers below provide excellent gift ideas.

Retailer store cards like B&H’s Payboo Card and the Adorama Edge Card offer additional ways to save or spread payments out over time. With Adorama Edge, which knocks 5% off, and B&H Payboo, which offers an instant sales tax refund on qualifying orders, the savings can really add up, especially on a high-end purchase like a MacBook Pro or Mac Studio.

AirPods are always a hot holiday gift idea, and retailers often slash the earbuds to record low levels for Black Friday. Amazon continues to offer the lowest price on AirPods Pro 2, with a $20 discount on the 2022 release, as well as up to 33% off Beats earbuds.
