It’s almost Black Friday, and that means there are some awesome deals coming down the pike. We at Reviewed do nothing but test products all year round, so we know which deals are worth your time — and which aren’t. We’re keeping an eye on prices all month long and keeping track of the best Black Friday deals. But if you’re in the market for Apple products, you don’t have to wait for Black Friday. Some of the best deals are already live.

The Best Black Friday 2018 Apple deals available now:

  1. Stainless Steel Apple Watch Series 3 (42mm, GPS + Cellular)—$479 at B&H (Save $150): If you use an iPhone and want a smartwatch, the Apple Watch is your best bet. Apple products don’t tend to play nice with other brands, so you can save yourself a lot of frustration by just sticking with Apple. This Series 3 Apple Watch has both GPS and Cellular, so your watch can stay connected even when you’re away from your phone. At $150 off the regular price, this is a deal worth snagging now.
  2. iPad 32GB (9.7-inch, 2017)—$299 at Jet (Save $30): The 2017 9.7-inch iPad is a great value even at the retail price of $329. It’s fully compatible with the Apple Pencil, has a hi-res Retina screen, and the processor is plenty fast for most uses. Jet has this iPad for $299 right now, and the price will drop even further to $249 November 21 (the day before Thanksgiving).
  3. Apple iMac 21.5-inch—$1,066.35 at Amazon (Save $632.65): Apple’s new iMac comes with a gorgeous 21.5-inch screen, a 1TB hard drive, and a just-fast-enough processor to be a perfect family computer. It just hit the market, but this matches the lowest price we’ve seen it at.
  4. MacBook Pro (15.4-inch, 2017)—$2,149 at B&H (Save $650): If you need a workhorse, pro-quality MacBook, this 2017 model is a great pickup. It has a large 512GB SSD, 16GB of RAM, a quad core i7 processor, and a dedicated graphics card. It comes with the fancy new Touchbar (which not everyone loves), but at this price at least you’re not paying extra for it.
  5. Refurbished 9.7-inch iPad Pro Wi-Fi 32GB—$469 at Apple (Save $80): If you like iPads but wish they could handle the workload of a full laptop, the iPad Pro is a great bet. It’s extremely fast, flexible, and has amazing battery life. This 32GB model doesn’t have much storage, but you’re saving a ton. And while refurbished models can sometimes be tricky, this direct-from-Apple one is a safe bet.
  6. Apple Geek Squad Certified Refurbished AirPods—$119 at Best Buy (Save $40): Apple’s Airpods rarely see much of a discount from their retail price of $159, but the super popular wireless headphones will be on sale a few places for Black Friday. If you don’t mind going refurb, they’re available even cheaper now from Best Buy.

There are many more deals to be had once Black Friday is actually here, so if you’re willing to wait, there are a few more deals worth considering (like the Series 3 Apple Watch under $200!).
