Apple Black Friday deals 2022: Featured deal
iPhone 14 Pro: Verizon is offering the iPhone 14 Pro for free with select trade-in, plus an extra $200 for those switching from another carrier. If you’re eligible, this is a great way to get your hands on one of our favorite phones.
Apple products rarely come cheap, which is why Black Friday is a great time to score the company’s coveted gadgets at a discount. Many of the latest AirPods, MacBooks, Apple Watches, iPhones and more are already on sale for the big online shopping season, and to make things easy for you, we’ve handpicked the ones actually worth getting based on our extensive hands-on reviews.
Apple’s annual Black Friday special is back, getting you anywhere from $50 to $250 in free gift cards on tons of products. You’re better off with the below deals if you want to save money, but if you’ve had your eye on something not heavily discounted right now (such as the iPhone 13/12/SE, new iMac or iPad Pro Magic Keyboard), you might as well get some free store credit with it.
The Apple Watch Series 8 improves on our favorite smartwatch with temperature sensing and car crash detection, and it’s currently at its lowest price yet.

While it doesn’t have quite the same robust set of features as the new Apple Watch SE, this discounted first-gen model is just about the cheapest Apple Watch we’ve ever seen (and still a great pick for tracking your runs and keeping up with notifications).

The Apple Pencil is a perfect companion for the standard iPad as well as older iPad Air and Pro models, whether you’re making professional sketches or just want to be able to take some notes. We’ve seen it go $10 lower than this price, but it’s still a very good deal on a rarely discounted accessory.
If you need a pencil for your new iPad Mini, iPad Air or iPad Pro, the Apple Pencil 2nd Gen is even more steeply discounted and at its lowest price ever. This more advanced pencil features double-tap functionality for switching tools on the fly, and can charge wirelessly when magnetically attached to your iPad.
Apple’s MagSafe Charger is our top wireless charger pick for folks with an iPhone 12 or newer, as it snaps on your phone easily for a quick charge (it’s also great for AirPods). This popular accessory is currently $9 off, putting it very close to its lowest price ever.

Apple’s Smart Keyboard is a super-popular add-on for the iPad (7th through 9th Gen) and iPad Air (3rd Gen), offering a great typing experience within a compact design. It’s not quite at its lowest price, but it’s still a strong 31% off on a rarely discounted item.
The Logitech Combo Touch is one of our favorite iPad keyboards, and turns your iPad into a pretty capable laptop. This version (made for the 7th-, 8th- and 9th-gen models) is nearly at its lowest price so far.
