It’s the Black Friday week, folks, which means many of this year’s hot tech deals are already available online, as various retailers are hosting extended sales events spanning well beyond Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Apple a few days ago published its 2018 holiday gifts ideas, but the company isn’t offering any spectacular sales of its own. Apple products including iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and AirPods are among the most coveted gadgets of the holiday shopping season, so all the other major retailers have planned a slew of deals on Apple gear this year, just like in previous years.
In what follows below, you’ll see plenty of deals that cover some of the season’s newest products, including the iPhone XS and iPhone XR, as well as the 2018 MacBook Air. You’ll also find deals on older Apple gear, which is still worth considering as these devices are priced significantly lower than before.
