This time of year, you might tend to look for deals on clothing or beauty products, but Black Friday is actually a great opportunity to find discounts on electronics, too. It's not often you can save money on AirPods or iPads, but November 25th is your chance. Take a look at your device to see where it might need an upgrade—and I'm not just talking about updating your iOS. Have your first-generation AirPods been a little laggy lately? Is your charging station outside? Black Friday is a good time to make sure everything is running properly so you know what to replace.
Prices and discounts will change in the lead-up to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but some sales are already happening so you can get a head start on your holiday shopping. It's always wise to keep an eye on the products that you're "really" interested in, as their prices may fluctuate slightly over the next few days. When you see a price that works for you (and makes your wallet happy), you know it's time to make a move. With that said, here are 11 of Apple's best Black Friday deals, from phone accessories to AirPods to watches.
