You Can Save Up To $70 On Apple AirPods This Black Friday
Those AirPods Max headphones you’ve been eyeing are cheaper than usual.
You might tend to look for clothing or beauty sales this time of year, but Black Friday is actually the perfect opportunity to find discounts on electronics too. It's not often you can find ways to save money on AirPods or iPads, but this Nov. 25 is your chance. Take a look at your devices and see what may need an upgrade — and I'm not just talking about updating your iOS. Have your first-generation AirPods been a little janky lately? Is your charging block on the outs? Black Friday is the time to make sure everything is up and running smoothly so you know what to replace.
Prices and discounts change leading up to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but some sales have already started so you can get a head start on your holiday shopping. It's always smart to keep an eye out for the products you're *really* excited about since their prices might fluctuate a little bit over the next several days. When you see a price that speaks to you (and keeps your wallet happy) you know it's time to strike. That being said, these are the 11 best Apple Black Friday deals from phone accessories to AirPods to watches.

For a less bulky option, save about $20 on Apple AirPods Pros that you can pop into your pocket or purse during a commute. These cancel out background noise so you can tune into your playlist and come with different-sized tips for them to fit any ear.
