Black Friday Apple deals are finally getting started. Retailers like Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy are rolling out their first round of Black Friday deals, with huge discounts on some of our favorite Apple gear. If you've been wanting to upgrade your laptop, headphones, or iPhone, there's no need to wait for Black Friday.
The first deal I want to call out is the iPhone 16 for $0.01 via Boost Mobile. You can get the iPhone 16 with an upfront cost of just one cent, then you pay $65/month for unlimited data.

Also worth noting is the 13-inch MacBook Air M1 for $649 at Walmart. Sure, it's not the latest model, but it's one of the cheapest MacBook deals I've ever seen. And you can grab the Apple Watch 10 (GPS/42mm) for $349 at Amazon ($50 off.)
Black Friday is only a few weeks away, but I doubt most of these deals will stick around for long before they sell out. I'll be by your side bringing you the best deals as they roll in, so stay tuned to this page. For more ways to save, see our Apple promo codes guide too.
