This November, we don’t expect to see any deals from Apple itself – as we covered in does Apple do Black Friday? – but that doesn’t mean we won’t see discounts on their products, such as iPad Black Friday deals, for example.

How much will the Apple AirPods cost on Black Friday?
AirPods don’t often go on sale throughout the year but luckily, Black Friday is the exception to this rule.
Last November, you could get up to £50 off different AirPods models, and luckily we’ve already spotted a similar trend this year.
So far, we’ve found £40 off the AirPods 3 with a MagSafe case. Plus, £10 off the AirPods 4, which only launched in September.
How much will the Apple AirPods Pro cost on Black Friday?
Last year we saw substantial savings on the Apple AirPods Pro 2, but we can’t guarantee the same this time around. Last week they had a £10 off the AirPods Pro 2 at EE, but this has now run out of stock. But we’ll let you know if another deal pops up.
Where to buy Apple AirPods on Black Friday
The official Apple site doesn’t usually run its own Black Friday sale, so for AirPods savings, you’re best bet is turning to other retailers such as John Lewis or Very. Here’s a list of the retailers currently promoting Black Friday deals on AirPods:
