With Black Friday approaching, retailers are rolling out deep discounts on Apple’s latest and older hardware. Here’s a curated list of standout deals this week worth your attention.
Apple Watch Ultra 4 & 3 Deals Offer Huge Savings
The just-launched Apple Watch Ultra 4 has dropped to $699.99 on Amazon, knocking nearly $100 off its original $799 price. That mirrors its all-time-low seen during recent promotions. This model’s all the premium bells and whistles, and for buyers eyeing the latest in wearable tech, now’s a strong entry point.
For those less worried about having the newest model but still craving rugged performance, the previous-gen Apple Watch Ultra 3 has landed a record-precedent bargain. Best Buy is offering the 49mm GPS + Cellular version for $549—a $250 slash from its $799 launch price. Optionally, Milanese Loop versions are available for $649, down from $899.
Mac Mini & Mac Studio Prices Hit New Lows
Both the Mac Mini (M6) and Mac Studio (M5 Max) are at some of their lowest-ever prices in early Black Friday sales. The 16GB RAM / 256GB SSD Mac Mini M6 is now $779 (originally $899), and the larger 512GB version has dropped to $949. Meanwhile, the Mac Studio M5 Max (36GB RAM, 512GB storage) is discounted to $2,299 from $2,499.
The pattern is clear: unboxing the latest Ultra 4 or stepping back to Ultra 3 are both strong value plays, while the Mac Mini and Mac Studio lineup remains a sweet spot for folks ready to commit to desktop strength without paying peak price.
Other noteworthy savings include a $9 markdown on the HomeView smart home hub, bringing pre-orders down to $289.99 from $299.00. Across accessories—storage, audio equipment, audio-visual gear—B&H Photo has opened an early Black Friday storewide sale with meaningful discounts.
How to Decide What’s Worth It
If you aim for Performance and Freshness, Ultra 4 stands out with new health sensors and extended battery life. But Ultra 3 delivers nearly all core features for about $150 less. For laptops and workstations, the Mac Mini M6 and Mac Studio M5 Max offer high-end Apple Silicon performance now under key pricing thresholds. Storage and accessory deals tend to be frequent; best to act quickly when pricing drops.
With several deals hitting all-time lows, this is shaping up to be one of the strongest early Black Friday windows in recent memory. If there’s a high-end Apple product you’ve been waiting for, this week’s prices suggest now is a good moment to buy.
