Apple launches Black Friday gift cards, but here's where you can save actual money

Apple is offering a Gift Card of up to $75/£60 when you buy iPhone 16 or iPhone 16e. There isn't any money offered for getting the iPhone 17, although trade in is available.

Get an Apple Gift Card of up to $100/£80 when you buy an iPad Air, iPad (A16) or iPad mini directly from Apple. Note that iPad Pros aren't included.

When you buy a MacBook Pro (M4 Pro or M4 Max chip), MacBook Air, iMac or Mac mini you get a gift card of up to $250/£200. Note that the M5 MacBook Pros aren't included.

When you buy an Apple Watch Series 11 or Watch SE 3, you can get a gift card for Apple of up to $50/£40. These are the latest watches so this is great, though the deal isn't available on the Ultra 3.

When you buy AirPods Max, AirPods Pro 3 or AirPods 4, you can get a gift card to spend with Apple of up to $75/£60.

Verizon is offering probably the best Black Friday deal in the iPhone 17. You get the phone for free on an unlimited plan and you also get a free iPad and an Apple Watch – with the catch being you have to take out a Cellular plan on those devices if you want them thrown in. No trade in necessary though and you get a free phone! Yes please.

Amazon has Black Friday iPad deals offering $100 off several configurations of this year's M3-chipped iPad Air in its larger 13-inch version. This is the iPad we recommend for most people. And this deal matches the best price we've seen to date on this tablet, released in March 2025.

The brand-new M4 chip brings Apple Intelligence and impressive performance to the MacBook Air and this is the first real discount we've seen on this 2025 model.

This 42mm GPS Watch has $50 off right now. This watch only came out a few months ago and this is the best offer we've found at Best Buy.

There's $60 off the AirPods 4, which is 46 per cent off. This same deal is also available at Best Buy and Walmart. We can't imagine it getting much better over Black Friday.
