The iPad mini 7 may be the new kid on the block, but the iPad mini 6 is still worth considering of you want a smaller iPad for a much lower price tag. It may be a few years old, but it's also $200 off the original price at Amazon — just $299.

This pint-sized tablet offers an 8.3-inch display that's sharp and bright, with a design that's both light and ultraportable. You also get USB-C charging, support for Apple Pencil 2, optional 5G, and a newly improved front camera. In fact the only real downside was its price, so if you're happy getting an older model now is the time to buy it.

There's a lot to love about the iPhone 16 Pro, but you know what's better than having stronger battery life or Apple Intelligence? Not having to pay $999 to actually own the phone. The good news is that Amazon will sell you an iPhone 16 Pro for $0.01 — yes really.

The catch is that you have to sign up for a Boost Mobile Unlimited plan for 36 months, which will set you back at least $65 a month.

The Mac mini M4 is one of the best miniature PCs ever made, with Apple offering easily accessible ports, more RAM and the power of the M4 chip. All while maintaining the small, sleek design that the Mac mini is known for. The power button is on the bottom, but that's the only fault we have with this machine.

The Mac mini M4 may be brand new but it is already discounted for Black Friday, with $40 off at Amazon. That means you;re paying $559 instead of the usual $599 retail price.

Apple Watch 10 may be the newest Apple Watch, but that doesn't make the Apple Watch series 9 obsolete. It's still just as good as it was last year, only now it has a lower price tag. In fact it's down to just $299 in Amazon's Black Friday sale.

watchOS 11 means the Apple Watch 9 has a lot of the same upgrades as the Watch 10, like the Check In tool and women's health tracking functionality and more. It lacks the larger screen and sleep apnea detection, but it still has all the other tentpole health and fitness features Apple has released over the past few years. Albeit at a slightly lower price.

If you're picking up a new Mac or MacBook this Black Friday, then you'll want a mouse that goes with it. What better option than Apple's own Magic Mouse, which is down to its lowest ever price? It'll cost you just $79 at Amazon, which is $20 less than you'd normally pay.

The Magic Mouse is totally wireless, and while the charging port is in a strange place it should last a month before it needs recharging.

It's AirPods 4 vs AirPods Pro 2 for Black Friday. Both are on sale right now for around the same price. But there are some very big differences between these buds. The AirPods 4 have a hard plastic design that Apple created to fit as many ear types as possible, while the AirPods Pro 2 have different size silicone tips. It's a matter of personal preference. The AirPods 4 also have a more compact charging case.

Both of these earbuds offer active noise cancellation, spatial audio support and wireless charging. But the AirPods Pro 2 have longer battery life (6 vs 4 hours with ANC on) a better seal for noise cancellation and hearing health features like the ability to double as hearing aids. The AirPods 4 is better for those who prefer a more open design.

You can get our favorite tablet of all time, the M4 iPad Pro, for a steal this Black Friday. Amazon is slashing the prices of both the 13-inch and 11-inch models with Apple's latest-and-greatest M4 chip. In our iPad Pro M4 review, we hailed it for its fantastic OLED display, lightning-fast performance thanks to the M4, and an unbelievably long battery life that lasted over 13 hours in our testing. While some of its peripherals and upgrades can carry eyewatering prices, there's no doubt in our minds that with the M4 iPad Pro, Apple has delivered its best premium tablet in years.

Apple's M series MacBooks are some of the best laptops on the market for their slim builds, impressive power and crazy long battery life. Right now, you can snag the last-gen 13-inch MacBook Air for just $749 at Amazon — a whopping 25% off.

This is a great deal, but sales on Apple products don't tend to last long, so you should snap up this one before it's gone.

While not many of these deals have changed overnight, I've found a keyboard deal that could be the perfect accompaniment to your brand new iPad. The iPad Magic Keyboard with trackpad is $224 down from $299, meaning you could get a brand-new iPad Air 13-inch and Magic Keyboard for just over $900. Considering the new iPads are made for Apple Intelligence and are powerful enough to be used as a main laptop, that's a fantastic deal.

Far superior to the rubbery Apple Watch Sports Band, the Sports Loop not only looks more stylish, it's also way comfier thanks to its stretchy, sweat-wicking properties. Plus, the Sports Loop secures to your wrist via velcro, unlike the the Sports Band's more barbaric pin-and-hole fastening approach. Best of all, the Apple Watch Sports Loop in lovely Elderberry is 20% off for Black Friday with two sizes to choose from.
