Black Friday 2022 is special for so many reasons, one of which is the plethora of deals on rarely discounted Apple devices. RetailMeNot shopping expert Kristin McGrath tells Yahoo that retailers like Walmart, Amazon, Target and Best Buy are probably offering the lowest Apple prices of the year — and even the new Apple Watch Series 8 (we found it cheaper at $50 ) to offer. Need a new iPhone? We found models for $100 off. It’s definitely the moment for AirPods (they’re down to $80 – that’s 50% off!!), even AirPods Pro – they’re almost $50 off at Amazon. Let us begin. It’s competitive out there folks!

Apple iPhone early Black Friday deals

“Great. Bought a replacement for my wife’s older iPhone. Brand new, works great, shipped faster than expected and was an easy switch,” said one customer.

“Love the iPhone 11. It was easy to set up and the Straight Talk SIM card went right in and the service continued. I have to get used to the bigger screen but I love the phone. I switched from the iPhone 6s to the iPhone 11,” said one customer.

iPad early Black Friday deals

“If you’re like me, you want something to watch shows in your living room or bed, but you don’t like the TV and your phone is too small. Well that’s the perfect thing for you, the screen is just the right size and very sharp and clear (maybe better than my iPhone X), the responsiveness is excellent, and all streaming sites work perfectly with it. Plus, my AirPods automatically switch between this and my phone so I don’t have to worry about messing around with the settings every time,” said one viewer.

Outperforms Studio Buds

$90$150Save $60

Eight hours of listening time and a comfortable fit make these headphones ideal for quietly jamming at your desk, while active noise cancellation and transparency mode ensure you don’t miss anything important.

One customer said, “They do their job just as well, probably better than Apple. I feel like AirPods are honestly overrated. The magnet on these is strong, the battery life is amazing and the sound quality is fire!”

“I can’t express how much I love these headphones. I’ve been looking for wireless noise canceling headphones for YEARS and have bought so many pairs; these are by far my favorites. I would even say that they change my life. I have TMJ issues so high performance headphones that cover the ears are not an option for me. But I really wanted something that would work with Bluetooth so I wouldn’t feel tethered from having to plug them in. It is,” said one customer.

AirTags make it easy to keep track of things like your purse, laptop bag and more. Slip one in your wallet so you never lose it. This pack contains four tracking medallions.

“I went hiking, dropped my keys and someone picked them up. My phone told me where they are and I was able to find them on the side of the road within minutes of a few hours later. When I found the keys, they were damaged and broken in half, but the AirTag was perfectly fine. I am amazed at the impact it has survived and it still works like new! I will buy more,” said one customer.
