Currently $99 direct from Apple. Shared by a friend inside Apple who notes the 34% discount is significantly better than Apple’s employee pricing. The single pack is 38% off ($18), but the four-pack is a better deal.
(Worth mentioning: rumors of slightly improved AirTags, which have been “coming soon” for months now.)
My friend also pointed out the A16 iPad 11” is $279 $274 at Amazon (20% 21% off, better than Apple’s “friends and family” discount), but crucially, it’s the “not ready for Apple Intelligence” model released in March, currently $349 direct from Apple, which I’ve gone on record as saying “I could not in good conscience suggest” buying “except in some very limited instances.” I stand by that.
Several other Apple products have early Black Friday sales. A few that caught my eye:
- M4 MacBook Air 13-inch (16GB memory/256GB SSD) is $749 (25% off) and a great price on my top recommendation for a computer. I consider 256GB storage to be miserly to the point of malice, so grab an external SSD (a minor hassle, for sure). Or, get the 512GB model for $949 (21% off), a still-quite-good deal.
- AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation are
$110 (39% off)$99 (44% off) and$79$69 without ANC (38%47% off). Go for the ANC. - I wasn’t aware Beats made cables, but their USB-C to USB-C Woven Cable (5 ft/1.5 m) in Surge Stone is $8.50 (55% off).
- I paid full price for my iPhone 17 Pro Silicone Case in Midnight a month ago; it’s now
$36 (27% off)$25 (49% off) along with most other colors, except Terra Cotta, which is $34 (30% off).
