Apple is yet to confirm if it will be running a Black Friday sale this year, but there’s already plenty of deals live now as retailers begin offering discounted iPhones, iPads, MacBooks and more.
Black Friday has come around once more and shoppers are on the hunt for the best deals on Apple tech. The tech giant hasn’t confirmed if it will be participating in a Black Friday sale this year, but there’s already a plethora of deals live now as retailers start offering discounted iPhones, iPads, MacBooks and more.
We’ve spotted several striking price reductions at Sky Mobile, Argos, Carphone Warehouse and Amazon, with options to purchase the gadgets outright or spread the cost with a monthly contract. There are also deals to suit any budget, whether shoppers are willing to splash out and snag the latest iPhone or keep costs low by choosing a slightly older model.
We’ve even noticed some devices reduced to their lowest price ever, including a MacBook Air, iPad and Apple Watch. After combing the web to see what catches our eye, we’ve compiled five of our favourite deals currently available in the Black Friday 2025 sales.
So without further ado, read on to discover our top five Apple deals…
MacBook Air M2
Sky Mobile’s laptop plans are an excellent option for splitting the cost and are now even better as the MacBook Air M2 is at its ‘lowest price ever’ of £17. This is for the 2022 edition of Apple’s ultra-thin laptop, which comes with 256GB storage and a choice of Midnight or Starlight colourways.
To secure this deal, customers need to pay a nominal £2 upfront fee and select one of Sky’s data plans, which range from £2 to £22 extra for mobile usage. It’s worth noting that Sky’s laptop contract lasts for 48 months – with an upgrade option after 36 months – while the SIM runs for 12 months, reports the Mirror.
Meanwhile, Argos has slashed the price of the same model from £999 to £699 for those who prefer to buy outright. However, customers willing to spread the cost might want to consider Sky’s offer on the latest model, the MacBook Air M4, for £22.
iPhone 17
Apple’s iPhone 17 series is less than two months old, but Carphone Warehouse has slashed it to what it claims to be its ‘lowest ever price’. It’s also throwing in 500GB of data for the price of 100GB and free AirPods 4 with select 24-month contracts on iD Mobile.
There are discounts up for grabs with the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, plus the ultra-thin iPhone Air. Here’s our favourite deal for each model:
- iPhone 17: iD Mobile, 500GB, £29.99 per month, £159 upfront.
- iPhone 17 Pro: D Mobile, 500GB, £49.99 per month, £29 upfront.
- iPhone 17 Pro Max: iD Mobile, 500GB, £53.99 per month and £29 upfront.
- iPhone Air: iD Mobile, 500GB, £42.99 per month and £155 upfront, free AirPods 4.
One caveat to these prices is that, like most providers, iD Mobile will increase them each year, so customers signing up for the £35.99 iPhone 17 deal will see their bills rise to £31.49 from April 2026 and £32.99 from April 2027. Elsewhere, giffgaff is offering the iPhone Air for £44 per month and £40 upfront on its unlimited everything plan, but there are no free AirPods included here.
Apple Airtag
It’s not just Apple phones and laptops on offer for Black Friday, as its flagship Bluetooth tracker is also on sale with up to a third off. Over at Amazon, a single Apple AirTag is now down to £28 (was £35), ideal for keeping track on valuable items including wallets, handbags and holiday luggage.
There are also discounts on an Apple AirTag two-pack at £58 (was £70) and Apple AirTag four-pack at £79 (was £119). When used alongside Apple’s ‘Find My’ app, these coin-shaped devices can be used to find lost items by leading users straight to its location.
Alternatively, the Tile by Life360 Mate (£24.99) offers similar features and is compatible with both Apple and Android devices.
iPhone 6e
Apple fans looking to keep costs low could consider Sky Mobile’s iPhone 16e deal, as the £17 price tag is the best we’ve ever seen. The catch that this only comes with a 100MB data allowance, so heavier users will need to add a data SIM at extra cost.
Released in February, the 16e is a more affordable edition of the regular iPhone 16, but it’s still packed with powerful and premium features despite its cheaper price tag. There’s a 6.1″ display, 48MP Fusion camera and Apple Intelligence features, all for a much more affordable price.
At Amazon, the same model is now £35 off at £509 for those opting to buy outright.
iPad A16
Apple released the 11″ iPad A16 in March as an affordable entry-level edition of its tablet range. Now, Amazon has knocked it down from £329 to £299, and while this might not seem like a huge discount, it’s actually the cheapest price ever, according to price tracker camelcamelcamel.
This model is powered by Apple’s ‘superfast’ A16 chip, alongside a Liquid Retina display, advanced cameras, fast Wi-Fi, USB-C connector and a choice of four colours. It’s achieved a 4.5-star rating from Amazon customers, with some hailing it the ‘best priced iPad for the average person and usage’, but others say the speakers ‘aren’t ideal for music but fine for watching videos’.
Elsewhere, Sky Mobile’s cost-splitting option is £10.50 per month for the same device. Those preferring a more premium model can also find discounts on the 11″ iPad Air M3 (£560) and 13″ iPad Air M3 (£749).
Apple TV+
So this isn’t a Black Friday deal as such, but we found a way to save more than £30 on an Apple TV+ subscription that gives full access to Slow Horses, Ted Lasso, Severance and more. It’s available with an Apple TV+ annual plan, which costs £89 for a year.
This is £30.88 or 25% cheaper than the £119.88 it costs over 12 monthly payments for anyone happy to commit to the streamer for one year. It’s a good time to bag the deal as the Apple TV+ library goes from strength to strength.
It’s just launched the debut episodes of Pluribus, the new sci-fi thriller from Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan that’s already earning rave reviews from critics and general audiences. There’s also plenty of upcoming series to mark in the TV calendar, including the second seasons of Hijack (January 14) and Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (February 27).
Apple Watch Series 10
Very shoppers can pick up the Apple Watch Series 10 for £269, which is said to be the retailer’s lowest ever price. This is an excellent deal for last year’s model of Apple’s flagship smartwatch and undercuts the reduced price at Argos (£279).
The model we’ve featured comes with a black sports band, but there are several other choices available at the same price. We think Sky Mobile’s £13 monthly deal on the latest model, the Apple Watch Series 11, is worth checking out too for those wanting to keep up to date.
