You don't have to wait until late this month to score some exceptional Apple deals, though. Various retailers have already begun discounting Apple tech like the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, AirPods, and more. This year, it may be wiser than ever to shop the deals early with all kinds of delays and fulfillment problems already creeping in.

We have all the information you need for those looking to score some Apple deals this Black Friday 2021 right here, and we will continue to update this page as we learn more.

Where to find the best Black Friday Apple deals

You probably already know this, but Apple isn't too fond of running sales. We haven't heard from Cupertino just yet what it plans to offer shoppers this fall, but in previous years Apple's own Black Friday sale has been reduced to gift card promotions and bundle savings.

That being said, Apple products are available at pretty much every major retailer and that's where you'll find the best Apple Black Friday deals. Retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart are competing for shoppers' attention, and dollars, during this peak trading time so they are incentivized to offer some doorbuster deals to get punters through the door.

We'll be rounding up the best offers on this page but the below retailers are a good place to start if you want to see the deals each has to offer right now.

Amazon: expect strong deals across all Apple devices plus price matching
Best Buy: Big Apple deals with bundled extras
Walmart: has offered all-time low Apple prices before
B&H: Competitive pricing and a wide array of Mac configurations
Target: 5% extra RedCard savings

When will Apple's Black Friday event start?

Black Friday officially kicks off on November 26, though we haven't yet heard a peep about Apple's own Black Friday promotion. In previous years, the sale took place for Black Friday through Cyber Monday, so we expect it will be a similar situation this time around.

That being said, Black Friday takes over most of November and we've already seen a ton of direct price drops on Apple gear at third-party retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Target, among others. With so many more shoppers going online this holiday season, it probably makes sense to score some savings as early as possible to avoid any delays once Black Friday begins. We've listed some of the best deals below.

Should I wait for Black Friday to buy Apple products?

Shopping around this time of year is always a toss-up between getting what you want early versus the chance of it being available cheaper later. There's certainly a value in the peace of mind of securing items on your wish list before the Black Friday rush where things sell out or go on backorder, though the FOMO around Black Friday itself is real.

The only benefit to waiting is the chance that the price goes lower so the best thing to do is check which retailers have already kicked off their Black Friday sales, scope out the deals, and see if there's any kind of Black Friday price guarantee. If you can snag a discount early and have a commitment from the retailer that the price won't go lower later this month, or that you'll get a refund if it does, then there's nothing to lose.

Black Friday iPhone deals

The iPhone is the one product category that sees the least movement in price. That may be because Apple sells millions of units each month without really trying or because many people get their phones on a carrier contract, though that doesn't mean you can't save on one if you know where to look (hint: it's right here).

Smart home aficionados that are well versed in HomeKit already will know that Apple-compatible accessories are often a bit more expensive than the competition.
