Over the years, Apple has earned a reputation for producing exciting technology with a high level of quality. That gear also happens to come with a premium price tag attached, but right now you can score some big discounts on some of Apple's older hardware. Considering how future-proofed each Apple item is, that means that you can get your hands on items that still have plenty to offer within the current technological ecosystem. Some of the standout deals from these early Black Friday sales include sales on MacBooks, Apple's line of notebooks that provide an absurd amount of processing power through the company's unique M2 chipset. For fitness fans, several Apple Watches are also on sale, and audiophiles can grab the excellent AirPods and AirPods Max at very attractive prices. For more bargains, check out these deals on new MacBooks with M2 chips, the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller discounted to its best price yet, and Target's Buy Two Get One free promotion on the latest games.
MacBook Air
$1050 ($1200) There are a few other more expensive configurations of the MacBook Air on sale, but this model is a great first step into the Apple ecosystem. It has a 13.6-inch screen, a solid 256GB SSD storage capacity, and Apple's M2 processor that provides incredible performance and up to 18 hours of battery life.
MacBook Pro
$1,149 ($1,300) For a more powerful Apple option, there's the MacBook Pro line. A powerful notebook that won't destroy your budget, the entry-level model comes equipped with the M2 processor chip, a lightning-quick 256GB SSD, and increases in power from that tier.
iPad Pro 11" 128GB
$700 ($800) If you're looking to bridge the gap between laptops and tablets, the 11-inch iPad Pro is a good choice. This iPad Pro is fitted with an M1 chip and has a Liquid Retina Display. It's built for both entertainment and productivity, and you can turn it into a creativity powerhouse by adding a keyboard and the Apple Pencil.
Apple iPad Pro 12.9" 128GB
$900 ($1,100) If you need more screen real estate, step up to the 12.9-inch iPad Pro. It's not much smaller than the display on the aforementioned MacBook Air and Pro laptops.
Apple TV
Starting at $77 Apple TVs have been powerful entertainment hubs across multiple iterations of hardware, and right now you can grab the second and fourth-generation hardware at a great discount. The core features with these TVs lie in powerful chipsets, an excellent clickpad to control your viewing, and plenty of streaming options in crisp video formats. Apple TV is pricier than most Roku and Fire TV devices, but it's the most versatile and impressive of the bunch.
Apple AirPods (2nd Generation)
$234 ($250) One of the best earbuds on the market today, the second generation Apple Airpods Pro pack an absurd amount of features into each bud. They're sweat-resistant, have up to six hours of listening time with active noise cancellation on, and come with numerous touch controls to let you take charge of your audio experience.
Apple AirPods Max
$450 ($550) The Apple AirPods Max are pricey (even with this discount), but they are incredibly impressive headphones that will appeal to dedicated Apple users. With stellar spatial audio tech and wonderful noise cancellation features, the AirPods Max certainly sound like premium headphones. Another major plus here is that they are super comfortable to wear for hours.
Apple Macbook Pro 13.3-inch (2017, Refurbished)
$535 Over at Walmart, you can grab an older MacBook Pro for a very reasonable price. Though it doesn't have Apple's M2 chip powering it, it does still come with a luxurious 2560x1600 retina display, a 512GB SSD, and a 3.1Ghz Dual Core i5 processor. This is a 2017 model with an "A grade," so you can expect it to be in great condition upon arrival.
Apple Watch Series 3 (38mm)
$149 ($199) Not just a time-keeper, the Series 3 version of the Apple Watch packs plenty of tech into a small frame. There's a dual-core processor for quick app performance, meters to track how far you've jogged, and a swimproof design so that you won't have to worry about watery malfunctions.
Apple Watch Series 3 (42mm)
$179 ($229) For those of you who demand a watch that can fit a bigger wrist, Apple has you covered with this larger iteration of the Series 3 Apple Watch. All the same fitness features are here, but you get a slightly larger display, increased battery life, and nominally smoother text.
Apple Watch SE (1st Gen)
$199 ($310) Hopping back a few years to the original line of Apple Watches, the first-generation Apple Watch SE is still a brilliant timekeeper with fascinating features. This model has an eye-catching blue strap, GPS, cellular functions, and a swimproof design.
Apple Watch Series 7 (41mm)
$329 ($429) Jumping ahead to the newer series of Apple Watches, the seventh generation iteration features incredibly advanced technology within its aluminum frame. It's loaded with software to keep track of your vitals, can monitor your daily activity, and it can easily recharge in just a few hours.
