Black Friday 2025: Best Mac and iOS app deals

Thu, 11/27/2025 - 11:58

You've already found the perfect Black Friday deal for that iPhone, iPad, or MacBook Pro that you've been eyeballing. But, now you're going to need apps for your brand new toys from Apple.

Mashable has searched the App Store and third-party developer websites to find the very best app deals for Mac and iOS devices. We found that some of the most popular and lauded apps are having their biggest discounts ever.

Here are the best iOS and Mac app deals we found.

SEE ALSO: The best Black Friday deals on the MacBook Air: Record-low prices are live right now Things 3

Things 3, the sleekest designed to-do list app for Mac, is currently on sale for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The app, by Cultured Code, has received rave reviews from outlets ranging from The New York Times' Wirecutter to MacStories and even won the Apple Design Award.

Things 3 is currently on sale for Black Friday and Cyber Monday with a 30 percent discount on all of its apps.

One negative about Things 3 is that users have to buy the app for each device they intend to use it on, meaning you'll need to buy three different Things 3 if you want to use it across the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. However, unlike some of its competitors, users only need to pay for Things 3 once for each device. There's no subscription. Black Friday is the one time each year that Things 3 ever goes on sale and those savings can help soften that multi-app purchase blow.

Readers can buy Things 3 for Mac for $34.99 instead of $49.99, for iPhone for $6.99 instead of $9.99, and for iPad for $13.99 instead of $19.99 until Dec. 1.

$49.99 Save $15   Get Deal Cleanshot X

Take a lot of screenshots? How about screen recordings? Do you make GIFs too?

Cleanshot X is another much-talked about Mac app staple that does all three of those things and then some. Along with taking screenshots, Cleanshot X can also be used to annotate those screengrabs, as well as automatically copy text from a screenshot too. Users can also pin screenshots to their desktop for reference, taking automated scrolling screenshots of long webpages, and much more.

Cleanshot X is currently on sale for Black Friday on its website for $20, marked down from its usual $29. However, there's an even better Black Friday deal for Cleanshot X via the Unclutter app's annual Black Friday collection. Cleanshot X can be bought via the bundle's website for $14.50, making it half off of its usual price. For $76, the entire 12 app collection can be purchased, which includes Cleanshot X, Unclutter, DaisyDisk, and more.

$29 Save $8.70   Get Deal Yoink

Yoink a little Mac utility app that becomes so handy that once you use it, you'll be astounded by the fact that Apple hasn't built this into macOS already.

Yoink brings a little pop-out shelf to your Mac's desktop that can be used to temporarily hold files while moving documents around to different folders or windows. It makes dragging and dropping so much easier.

The app usually sells for $8.99 on the App Store. However, it can currently be purchased for less than $3 as part of BundleHunt's 2025 Black Friday bundle.

$8.99 Save $5.99   Get Deal PastePal

Everyone needs a good copy-and-paste manager for their Mac. Even better if that clip board manager has an accompanying iOS app that it syncs with. Enter PastePal.

PastePal is a universal clipboard manager that allows users to easily access their copy-and-paste history. Users can find everything they've ever copied on their Mac whether it be text or media. PastePal visually shows them that history based on a timeline or by category of what it is they copied. There's also a pop-up sidebar for quick access to their most recent clipboard history. 

Plus anything you copied on your Mac is available on your iPhone or iPad and vice versa as well.

PastePal is currently 50 percent off for Black Friday so you can get PastePal for all your devices for only $7.99.

$14.99 Save $7   Get Deal Subscription Day

Netflix, HBO Max, Paramount+ – are you suffering from subscription overload?

Subscription Day is a Mac app that helps you keep track of all your subscriptions and their due dates right from the Mac's menu bar. The calendar format helps users see exactly when each subscription is due and how much they're paying for them so they can save money and cancel any unwanted subscriptions before they are charged for them.

Subscription Day is the newest of the apps on this list so it seems like a work-in-progress, feature-wise. But, its current Black Friday sale puts the app at 50 percent off and $5.99 will also get you the upcoming iOS version of the app, so it's a good deal.

Opens in a new window Credit: Subscription Day Subscription Day $5.99 at Appps
$10.99 Save $5   Get Deal Bartender 6

Speaking of your Mac's menu bar, Bartender 6 will help you manage all the apps you have in there.

The menu bar is one of the great Mac features that allows you to quickly access apps that take advantage of it. However, Apple doesn't really let you do much in terms of menu bar management and things could get out of hand once you have too many menu bar apps. Bartender 6 lets you hide apps in the menu bar, group them for easy access, and even change the style.

Bartender 6 usually sells for $20 but is currently 20 percent off for Black Friday.

Everything to know about Best Buy Black Friday 2025: Doorbusters, top deals, ad highlights

Thu, 11/27/2025 - 11:30

Best Buy has been treating the entire month of November like one drawn-out holiday deal dump, but now that its official Black Friday sale is live, there are hundreds of markdowns on name-brand tech across all departments. Its main attractions include record-low prices on big-ticket items like QLED 4K TVs and Windows laptops, plus revolving rounds of doorbusters that feature bonus rewards for paid My Best Buy members.

Best Buy's Black Friday deals are available online and in stores, so if you want to visit a nearby location to check out a gadget before you buy it, the option is there. (Camping out on Thanksgiving night won't be necessary.) Here's everything you need to know about Best Buy's Black Friday sale before you shop, including its opening hours, doorbuster lineup, holiday return policy, price-match guarantee, and the best deals to shop now.

When is Best Buy's Black Friday sale?

Best Buy's Black Friday sale began on Thursday, Nov. 20 and continues through Saturday, Nov. 29. All of its feature deals are available in stores, online, and on the Best Buy mobile app, according to a company press release.

Is Best Buy open on Thanksgiving?

Best Buy stores will be closed on Thanksgiving Day 2025, as they have been since 2020.

What time does Best Buy open on Black Friday?

Best Buy stores will open at 6 a.m. local time on Black Friday. Camping out is only mandatory if a deal you're eyeing is sold out online but still available in stores, IMO.

Does Best Buy do doorbusters?

Yes, Best Buy is supplementing its Black Friday deals with some limited-time doorbusters, which it's billing as "some of the best deals on the hottest tech of the season." These offers drop in batches every Friday through Christmas, and paid My Best Buy members earn $5 in bonus rewards for every $50 they spend on them (up to $25). That includes the Plus and Total membership tiers.

I've listed all of Best Buy's current doorbusters below. All of them are decent deals except for the EA video games and the Ray-Ban Meta glasses, which are cheaper to buy from Amazon and/or Walmart. Best Buy will release more doorbusters on Friday, Nov. 28, aka Black Friday proper.

Best Black Friday deals at Best Buy

I've spent hours upon hours combing through Best Buy's Black Friday deals, and I've identified just over 150 of them that are worth shopping. (By that I mean they aren't one-upped by better offers at other retailers.) Here's a quick look at the highlights:

$419.99 Save $120   Get Deal Does Best Buy price match?

Best Buy doesn't price-match competitors' deals during Black Friday, but it will price-match itself. If something you've bought there from Oct. 31 to Dec. 31 gets cheaper during that period, you can request to have your purchase adjusted to the better price through Jan. 15, 2026. The only items that aren't covered by this price-match guarantee are holiday decorations and products that come with a third-party contract (like smartphones).

For example, if you purchased a pair of Apple AirPods Max for $429.99 at Best Buy earlier this week, you should be able to take advantage of their new lower price of $399.99 (live as of Nov. 25).

What is Best Buy's return policy?

Under its extended holiday return policy, Best Buy will accept returns for most items purchased from Oct. 31 to Dec. 31 through Jan. 15, 2026. That deadline stretches to Jan. 31 for paid My Best Buy members.

Similar exclusions apply here. Holiday decorations have a 15-day return window, for one. "Activatable" devices (meaning those that come with data plans) can only be returned within 14 days, and they have a $45 restocking fee if opened. Scooters, drones, digital cameras, action cameras, lenses, projectors, fitness recovery devices, cold tubs, saunas, and special-order products have a 15% restocking fee if they're unboxed.

When is Best Buy's Cyber Monday sale?

Best Buy will kick off its Cyber Monday savings event on Sunday, Nov. 30, and it will run for 48 hours through Dec. 1 (aka actual Cyber Monday). The company's press release notes that "there will be limited-time deals available throughout the event," so expect a slightly different assortment than its Black Friday sale.

Is the LG C5 OLED TV deal as good as it seems?

Serious deal hunters will notice a conspicuous absence from this guide: The award-winning LG C5 OLED TV, specifically the 65-inch model. A lot of our competitors are writing about Best Buy's Black Friday deal on it, and it's easy to see why. The retailer has it listed for $1,399.99, or $1,300 off its usual price. That's a really attractive discount on what's arguably the best TV ever made.

However, this deal isn't as good as it seems. Amazon is currently selling the same TV for $1,346.99 (or $53 less), and there's a good chance it'll return to its previous record-low price of $1,249.95 there on Black Friday proper. If you are going to buy it now, get it from Amazon. However, we think it's worth waiting to see if it gets even cheaper in the near future — or if Best Buy matches its rival's deal.

This has been a rough year for bank accounts overall, and streaming services aren't helping. Nearly every major streamer got more expensive in 2025, including Netflix, Peacock, HBO Max, Apple TV+, YouTube TV, Disney+, Hulu, and Paramount+. So needless to say, we're extra excited about this year's Black Friday streaming deals. We could all use some discounts, amirite?

Black Friday is famously the best time of year to sign up for streaming services, as you can typically score some serious savings on monthly or annual subscription fees. And we're pleased to report that this year is no different. If you're looking for a way to cut back on streaming costs for 2026, now's a great time to take advantage of majorly discounted subscriptions.

SEE ALSO: Unlock Peacock for free this Black Friday — here’s how to stream for free

Apple TV+, HBO Max, Disney+, and Hulu have all already thrown their hats in the ring, as have tons of other streamers in the form of Prime Video add-ons. So you can start weighing all of your streaming options for the season. However, we're still waiting on Peacock to join in on the fun.

One thing to note: most Black Friday streaming deals are limited to new and returning subscribers (as in you haven't been a subscriber in at least a month or so). If you qualify, you can lock in some serious savings on streaming apps.

Check out all the best Black Friday streaming deals currently live — we'll be updating this list throughout the week with any other deals we think are worth it.

Best Black Friday streaming deal overall Opens in a new window Credit: HBO Max HBO Max $2.99/month for 12 months (save $8/month) Get Deal Why we like it

In a shocking turn of events, the HBO Max Black Friday deal in 2025 actually beats its streaming deal from 2024 and 2023. This year, new and returning subscribers can sign up for 12 months of HBO Max Basic with ads for $2.99 per month through Dec. 1. That's just $35.88 for the whole year and about 73% in savings. In 2023 and 2024, the streamer only offered this discounted price for six months. So, not only are you getting double the subscription length for a discount, but you're also saving even more after its recent price hike (up to $10.99/month from $9.99/month).

The Warner Bros. Discovery-owned streaming service is one of our favorites. Not only is it home to Warner Bros. films, but also new A24 theatrical releases, a ton of excellent original series (like The Last of Us, The Pitt, and IT: Welcome to Derry), and even live sports via the B/R Sports add-on.

Psst: If you don't want to deal with logging into another streaming service, this deal is also available in the form of a Prime Video or Hulu add-on.

Best Black Friday streaming bundle deal Opens in a new window Credit: Hulu / Disney+ Disney+ and Hulu (with ads) $4.99/month for 12 months (save $8/month) Get Deal Why we like it

While we're pretty disappointed that Hulu didn't resurrect its 99 cents deal for 2025, this bundle deal almost makes up for it. Through Dec. 1, new and returning subscribers can score both Disney+ and Hulu with ads for just $4.99 per month for 12 months. Usually $12.99 per month for both, that's $8 per month in savings or $96 total. We saw the same bundle drop to only $2.99 during Black Friday 2024, but both streamers raised their prices this year, so the Black Friday deal has been appropriately adjusted for inflation. And considering each streamer is $11.99 per month on its own, this is an excellent deal. It's also a good way to lock in a solid price for the year since Disney and Hulu will eventually be merged into a single app — with a higher price tag, no doubt. And hey, maybe we'll still be surprised with the 99-cent Hulu Black Friday deal.

Best Black Friday Apple TV deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple TV+ Apple TV+ $5.99/month for 6 months (save $42) Get Deal Why we like it

Apple TV+, just like several other streamers, raised its subscription cost by 30 percent a few months back — from $9.99 to $12.99 per month. So this deal, which knocks the price down to only $5.99 per month for half a year, is much appreciated. You can take advantage of this deal directly at Apple TV+ or in the form of a Prime Video add-on, meaning you need to be a Prime member or Prime Video subscriber.

Apple TV+ features a virtually all-original lineup filled with Emmy-winners like The Studio, Ted Lasso, Severance, and The Morning Show and Oscar-winners and nominees like CODA and Killers of the Flower Moon. TL;DR: You'll get more than your money's worth with this Black Friday deal.

Best Black Friday live TV streaming deal Opens in a new window Credit: Sling Sling Orange Day Pass $1
$4.99 Save $3.99   Get Deal Why we like it

Sling's Day Pass is a solid way to tune into live sports, events, and shows without having to splurge on a full subscription. Sometimes you just want to watch a single game and be on your way. It's usually $4.99 for a day, but for Black Friday, Sling is offering its Orange Day Pass for only $1 through Dec. 1 at 3 a.m. ET. The Orange package includes ESPN and all its affiliates, TNT, TBS, AMC, IFC, and more. That means you'll be able to tune into live college football rivalry games on ESPN this weekend — like Georgia Tech vs. Georgia on Friday and Vanderbilt vs. Tennessee and Alabama vs. Auburn on Saturday — for just a buck.

Best Black Friday music streaming deal Opens in a new window Credit: Spotify Spotify Premium Free for 4 months (save $11.99/month) Get Deal Why we like it

It's not uncommon to see Amazon offering its music streaming service, Amazon Music Unlimited, for free during shopping events (this year, you can get three free months). It is, however, quite rare for Spotify to offer its Premium service for free. Through Dec. 31, new subscribers can score four free months of Spotify Premium, no questions asked. Typically $11.99 per month, that saves you nearly $50 total.

With a Premium account, you can enjoy ad-free listening, collaborate with friends in real time, download music for offline listening, get full control over your music and playlists, unlock 15 hours per month of audiobook time, and finally enjoy lossless audio. You'll also gain access to the famous Wrapped stats and new weekly listening stats.

$98 Save $49   Get Deal Why we like it

If you already have a Walmart+ membership, or if you were considering signing up to take advantage of the Walmart Black Friday 2025 sale, then you'll unlock free access to either Peacock or Paramount+ for one year. Even better, Walmart+ memberships are currently 50% off for Black Friday, so you'll pay just $49 for 12 months of access. On top of these streaming deals, you'll also get perks like free grocery and pharmacy delivery. If you're not interested in a Walmart+ membership, we're still holding out for the standalone Peacock Black Friday deal, but you can already get the Paramount+ Black Friday deal on its own.

Best streaming stick deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select $9.99
$39.99 Save $30 Use code STREAM4K Get Deal

We spotted this deal a couple of weeks ago and couldn't believe our eyes. Amazon is practically giving away Fire TV Sticks — but, of course, there's a catch. The code STREAM4K drops the Fire TV Stick 4K Select's price down to $9.99, from $39.99, but only select customers are eligible. Test out the code for yourself, and see if you can score an Amazon streaming stick for $10.

Google Maps Gemini addition is finally rolling out

Thu, 11/27/2025 - 11:21

Google Maps’ Gemini-powered navigation is officially rolling out more broadly, marking the next step in the overhaul Google first teased earlier this month. When Mashable first covered the update, we noted Google’s push toward a "more conversational and intuitive" navigation experience built on Gemini, including landmark-based directions and the ability to ask complex, multi-step questions.

SEE ALSO: Google Gemini 3 vs ChatGPT: How they compare

According to 9to5Google, the feature is now beginning to appear for users across all navigation modes — not just driving. That means walking, cycling, and public transit directions also benefit from Gemini’s upgraded voice controls and contextual assistance. The outlet also reports that the traditional four-color microphone icon has officially been replaced with the Gemini spark — another indication that Google Assistant is nearing its death date.

In practice, this means that you can now ask your phone anything you would normally ask it, directly through Maps while navigating. The rollout includes all the conversational queries originally highlighted in Google’s blog post — like finding “a budget-friendly restaurant with vegan options along my route” or asking "what’s parking like there?" — but 9to5Google notes that users can also issue practical commands such as "add stop," "avoid tolls," or "show alternative routes." The assistant can even handle general tasks, such as calling contacts, sending texts, or checking your next meeting.

Google’s official support page confirms this expanded scope, explaining that users can "get info and get things done with Gemini while you drive, walk, or ride," activated either via the hotword or the microphone icon.

Get $65 off Magic: The Gathering Marvels Spider-Man boosters in the Amazon Black Friday sale

SAVE $64.71: As of Nov. 27, the Magic: The Gathering — Marvel’s Spider-Man Play Booster Box (30 packs) is $144.99 at Amazon, down from a list price of $209.70. That’s a Black Friday saving of around $65 on a full booster display.

This discount not only makes this Magic: The Gathering Spider-Man set in line with market value, but also undercuts other marketplaces like TCGPlayer, which is selling the same box for around $160 plus postage.

Universes Beyond has quietly helped solve Magic’s long-running headaches: it makes the game less intimidating for newcomers with its TCG twist on familiar Marvel characters, and now, deals like this lower the game’s barrier to entry. Licensed sets like Marvel’s Spider-Man give comic fans a clear on-ramp into the world’s biggest trading card game, even if they’ve never cast a fireball in their life.

This Black Friday discount on the 30-pack Play Booster Box is basically a shortcut into the Spider-Verse for anyone who wants to draft with friends, juice up their Commander decks, or just crack a ton of web-slinging packs without paying launch-week prices.

As is usually the case with MTG Play Booster Boxes like these, you’re getting 30 Play Boosters, each with 14 cards and at least one rare or mythic rare, plus a foil card in every pack — which is exactly what you want out of a big sealed box: plenty of shots at the coolest cards and enough cardboard to fuel multiple draft nights.

SEE ALSO: 100+ Black Friday deals: We found record-low prices on AirPods, MacBooks, Samsung TVs, Kindles, and Ninja

Along with other popular crossover MTG sets, like the Final Fantasy expansion, the Spider-Man set has often received praise for its fun comic-book art and the way its characters have been incorporated into the series. There are some stunning chase cards to pull — though, as always, results vary depending on luck.

Mechanically, this set leans hard into its theme: aggressive Spider-folk, villains like Venom and Green Goblin, and new tricks like Mayhem and Web-style interaction that reward you for swinging in and keeping pressure on.

Whether you’re building a Spiders-matter Commander deck, brewing a casual 60-card brawler, or just adding on-theme cards to existing piles, 30 packs give you a serious sample of what the set can do.

While buying singles is usually the most reliable path to the priciest chase cards, those increasingly high price tags make hunting them through booster boxes like these the best option.

Here are the top five most valuable chase cards you can pull in the Spider-Man Magic: The Gathering set right now:

The best Black Friday deals on Bluetooth trackers: Score Apple AirTags at record-low prices

Thu, 11/27/2025 - 11:07
Best Black Friday Bluetooth tracker deals at a glance: Best Apple Tracker Deal Apple AirTag $17.97 (save $11.03) Get Deal Best Tile Tracker Deal Tile by Life360 Mate $39.99 (save $40) Get Deal Best Eufy Tracker Deal Eufy Security SmartTrack Card $23.99 (save $7) Get Deal

As Black Friday rolls on, there are so many great deals at Amazon that its hard to keep up. There's everything from the very big, such as 65-inch TVs, to the very small, such as Bluetooth trackers. But what's a Bluetooth tracker? If you've never used one before, it could be game changer. Particularly if you’re one of those people who’s forever losing their keys, phone, wallet, bag, and other valuables.

SEE ALSO: The 17 best Advent calendars to buy in November. Take advantage of early Black Friday sales.

The basic idea is that you attach one of these trackers to your belongings. The tracker connects to an app and if you lose that item, you can find it by following the app or prompting the tracker to emit a ring. More expensive trackers may also have more advanced technology to make finding lost items even easier. The gold standard is the Apple AirTag, which you’ll find below, but there are other models that work specifically with iOS, Android, or both. Here’s a selection of the best Bluetooth trackers deals in the Black Friday sale.

Perfect for iPhone users and Apple fans in general, the Apple AirTag syncs with the Find My app and uses Ultra Wideband technology for precise locations. It makes a noise to alert you as you search for lost items, and you can share its location with up to five people. There’s also a lost mode that will alert you when the tag is detected by the wider Find My network. It’s not compatible with Android, so this one's for Apple users only.

Aside from Apple, Tile Mate is the big name in Bluetooth tracker technology. The real benefit of this set — other than getting four trackers in one pack — is the fact they’re compatible with both iOS and Android. Other features include a discrete SOS alarm, allowing you to notify people if you feel unsafe, and the ability to make a lost phone ring — even when switched to silent. There’s a more colourful version available which costs more, but they're also discounted in the Black Friday deals.

The Eufy Security SmartTrack Card is shaped like a credit card for a reason — it’s designed to slip into your wallet and ensure you never lose that wallet ever again. Though it will just as easily slip into the back of a smartphone case, passport cover, or in your bag. It’s iOS only, which isn’t much good for Android users, but that does mean it works with Apple’s Find My app.

Several retailers have slashed prices across the AirPods lineup, from entry-level AirPods to the premium AirPods Max. So, if you're looking to snag some, we've got all the details you need to score the best price.

As of the start of Black Friday week, all three retailers have the price down to $79.99. And if you want to level up, the AirPods Pro 3 are also at their lowest price ever at $219.99, but at your pick of retailer — you can find this deal at Amazon, Target, Best Buy, and Walmart.

We've been waiting for this one: Now that Black Friday sales have begun, the base model AirPods 4 just hit a record low price of $69 at Amazon. This is a frankly absurd price for Apple wireless earbuds, which somehow have gotten more affordable in the age of inflation and tariffs. We're not sure how long this deal isn't going to stick around for. We've already seen stock drop for AirPods 4 with ANC.

AirPods Pro 3 are the very latest and most advanced pair of Apple's earbuds, and for Black Friday 2025, they just got their biggest discount yet. As of Nov. 24, the Apple AirPods Pro 3 are down to $219.99, saving you $29.01. That's not a huge discount, but it's absolutely the best price we've found on them (and don't expect it to drop significantly lower once Black Friday proper hits). The AirPods Pro 3 offer exceptional sound, even better active noise cancellation, live translation, and heart-rate monitoring. You can pick up this discount at Amazon, Target, Best Buy, and Walmart.

They offer great noise cancellation, simple controls, and 20 hours of battery life per charge.

Apple's basic EarPods may be the cheapest of everything the company has to offer, but they're still no slouch when it comes to sound. These corded earbuds feel great and sound even better for the price, with a built-in remote that you can use to adjust volume, control music playback, and answer calls. Plus, their built-in mic makes chatting on the go feel like a dream.

The best Black Friday iPad deals start at just $274: Record lows on M4 iPad Pro and 11-inch iPad

It's that time again, folks: Black Friday sales are live. Lots of Apple gadgets are on sale for record-low prices this week, including all current- and recent-gen iPads. Shoppers can save anywhere from $50 to $200 on Apple tablets across major retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target. (The Apple Store itself is just giving away free gift cards with eligible Black Friday purchases, so it's pretty skippable.)

Below, we've rounded up the absolute best Black Friday iPad deals available right now. We'll continue to monitor their availability and add new picks if/when they pop up as Cyber Weekend continues, so check back often.

Our favorite budget iPad is now more affordable than ever: Amazon and Walmart have the 128GB base model on sale for just $274, or $75 off. (It's 99 cents pricier at Target and $5 more expensive at Best Buy.) The 11-inch tablet comes with a peppy A16 chip, Touch ID, and 12MP front and rear cameras. "[It's] great for someone who wants a portable screen for streaming, playing games, and reading," according to our reviewer. If you bundle it with an also-on-sale USB-C Apple Pencil or first-gen Apple Pencil, it's still cheaper than any iPad Air or Pro.

Now that the M5 chip has arrived, the 13-inch M4 iPad Pro is no longer the shiniest new model on the market — but that doesn't mean much in the era of iterative upgrades. When our reviewer tested it last year, she said it "blew us away with its power efficiency, striking display, and breakneck performance." It's overkill for most people, but great for professional artists and creatives. While most of this week's Black Friday iPad discounts top off around $50 to $100, this M4 iPad Pro's 256GB base model is chilling at $200 off. It's $100 cheaper than its M5 equivalent.

Black Friday is easily the best time to buy Apple products, and as we head into Cyber Weekend, the deals are predictably great. Don't thank the Apple Store for that: Third-party retailers are the ones offering the biggest cash discounts. (Apple's 2025 Black Friday deal is just its usual free gift card promo.)

For the best selection of Apple deals, head to Amazon: At the time of writing, almost all of the latest AirPods, Apple Watches, iPads, and MacBooks were sitting at record-low prices there. Competitors like Best Buy, Walmart, and Target were matching some, but not all of its offers.

It has some exclusive deals on the three-year-old Apple Watch SE 2 (now just $129), the AirPods Pro 2 (now $139), the M1 MacBook Air (now $549), and the A14 Bionic iPad (now $349 with 256GB of storage).

You miss out on sleep apnea notifications, temperature sensing, fast charging, and wrist gestures, plus the always-on display. If you don't consider those essentials, the SE 2 is a bargain for only $129 during Walmart's Black Friday sale. That's almost half off.

The 11th-gen iPad has a 10.9-inch display, 12MP cameras, and enough power for everyday tasks. Our reviewer called it "a real steal" at its usual sticker price of $349, but you'll pay just $274 if you buy it from Amazon or Walmart this Black Friday. That's its lowest price ever and $5 better than Best Buy's deal.

We're just one day away from Black Friday. This year, the biggest shopping event of the year falls on Nov. 28, but that doesn't mean you need to wait until after pumpkin pie to shop. Amazon's official Black Friday sale has been underway since Nov. 20, and we're seeing a bunch of epic deals. Some of our favorite products from Bose, Apple, Anker, and Lego are on sale, in addition to Amazon devices like Kindles and the Echo lineup, plus discounts on some of our favorite gifts for 2025.

A majority of Amazon's Black Friday deals are record-low prices that match or beat the deals we saw during October Prime Day. See the evidence for yourself by plugging the URL into camelcamelcamel, the Mashable shopping team's secret weapon for finding the lowest prices at Amazon.

Apple deals are going hard this Black Friday. The AirPods 4 with ANC just hit a record-low price of $99.99, but they're flying off the shelves. We've seen them sell out once at Amazon already, so if they're sold out for you, you can also grab them for $99.99 at Target. These give the entry-level AirPods (currently on sale for $69.99) the nice addition of ANC, which performed so well that it earned these buds a coveted Mashable Choice Award.

The Mos Espa Podrace diorama from The Phantom Menace is one of them, so now is your last chance not only to find it in stock at all, but for nearly $20 off its usual price. This set is a best-seller for a reason: You get the full canyon in Tatooine scene, models of both Anakin's Podracer and Subulba's Podracer, and a special 25th anniversary plaque with a quote from Qui-Gon Jinn. It's nostalgia in brick form that any Star Wars fan should have in their collection.

Down at a record-low price, the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is Mashable's favorite Kindle. It can get up to 12 weeks of battery life before you'll need to recharge, and the 16GB storage gives plenty of room for downloaded books. Gift it to the reader in your life or snag one for yourself to stay entertained during holiday travel. It's also fully waterproof, so you can take it along to the pool or on your tropical winter vacation.

Read Mashable's full review of the Echo Pop.

It’s a known fact of the universe that Amazon devices get serious discounts on Black Friday (and Prime Day, for that matter). If you haven't picked up a smart speaker yet, or just need one for a random room like the laundry room or guest bath, we recommend the Echo Pop. It’s currently $21.99, which is 45% off its regular price. Unlike the spherical Echo Dot, the Pop has a flat front that makes it fit way better on shallow shelves or crowded nightstands. It’s the perfect low-stakes way to add Alexa to another corner of your house without spending "real" money.

Read Mashable's full review of the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2.

The new Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2 is one of my favorite portable power stations to hit the market this year. Anker's new Gen 2 models focus on portability, and the C1000 Gen 2 is shockingly easy to carry around at 25 pounds. It's a great model for taking to the campground or keeping in the garage in case of power outages. Thanks to Amazon's Black Friday sale, this model is down to a new record low.

If you're looking for the most comfortable noise-cancelling headphones on the market, you want the Bose QuietComfort Ultra, and right now, they're on sale for $299.

The Apple Watch SE 3 earns the top spot on Mashable's list of the best smartwatches. The SE 3 is the first SE model to come with an always-on display. Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth wrote, "In addition to its gorgeous OLED display, it has the same S10 chip inside the Ultra 3, the same water resistance as the Series 11, and all the necessary features you're looking for in a smartwatch." All of that now comes in at under $200 thanks to this Black Friday sale at Amazon.

When you think of TVs on sale at Amazon, you probably think of Amazon's own Fire TVs. You're half right: The best Fire TV deal at Amazon is a Fire TV, but it's actually an Insignia (a Best Buy brand). At just $399.99 after a 38% discount, this 75-inch Insignia QLED is the cheapest 75-inch QLED TV we've seen across all Black Friday TV deals so far — that's almost $200 cheaper than the non-QLED 75-inch version of Amazon's Omni TV. And why would you settle when you could bring home the boosted quantum dot brightness for watching in the daytime?

This Black Friday season marks the very first time the Roborock Saros 10R has dropped below $1,000, so senior shopping reporter Leah Stodart can't help but recommend it to people — considering the Saros 10R was her favorite robot vacuum that she's ever tested for most of 2025, and is still the best robot vacuum mop combo when it comes to corner and edge mopping. (In Reddit threads about which robot vacuum everyone is looking to buy this Black Friday, the Saros 10R is mentioned multiple times.)

At 22,000 Pa of suction power, the Saros 10R is also one of the most powerful robot vacs you'll find on sale this season. Plus, the livestream pet camera will quickly become a daily staple in the routines of busy pet parents.

A year after the first Slushi came out, Ninja released two larger capacity versions in a few fun colors. The 88-ounce model on sale for $269.99 at Amazon can make a slightly bigger batch than the original 72-ounce model, which is on sale for $229.99 at Walmart. $40 more for extra beverages and a chic green build? Sold. (If you want the purple one, it's $269.99 at Target.)

If there's one thing Mashable readers love buying on Black Friday, it’s the LifeStraw. It’s a staple of every major sales event, and for good reason. Right now, it’s back down to its Prime Day price of $9.99, which is typically the lowest it goes all year (it's usually around $20). Even if you aren't an avid hiker, this is a must-have for your home emergency kit or bug-out bag. It filters out 99.999999 percent of waterborne bacteria and parasites, so you can drink directly from a stream (or a sketchy tap) safely. At $10, it’s the ultimate practical stocking stuffer.

Best Buy dropped early deals and doorbusters starting Oct. 31, and Target started its first holiday savings event on Nov. 6.

We've spotted plenty more Black Friday-worthy deals that you can shop now to get ahead of your holiday shopping list or pick out something nice for yourself.

The deals are only going to get better once Black Friday arrives so keep this page bookmarked throughout the sale. We'll be updating this guide with the latest Black Friday deals from Amazon, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and beyond. The major players have special daily deals you won't want to miss.

Senior Shopping Reporter Leah Stodart sees Narwal's newest robot vacuum mop combo as a dupe for the $1,599.99 Roborock Saros 10R, our favorite robot vacuum of the year. Its edge cleaning is comparable thanks to dual spinning mopping pads that flex out from under the vacuum to scrub in corners and along walls. When mopping, the Freo Z10 Ultra ensures that it does a thorough job by taking a before-and-after picture of the spill, going back for another pass if necessary. The livestream pet camera is a bonus for homes with pets.

"If you're not sure what size TV to get, we consider 65 inches to be the sweet spot for most folks. While the Hisense U6 Mini LED QLED TV falls into the budget-friendly category, its specs don't scream 'budget' at all. It features a Mini LED backlight system, which means its uses smaller LEDs to deliver a brighter and more detailed picture. Plus, it packs a 144Hz native refresh rate, WiFi 6 connectivity, support for HDR in Dolby Vision, the Fire TV OS, and on-board Alexa. Our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) called it 'easily the brightest and most colorful budget-friendly TV we've tested.'" — Christina Buff, Mashable Contributor

Shopping for Apple AirPods Pro 2 this Black Friday? Youve only got one option

Thu, 11/27/2025 - 10:24

SAVE: As of November 27th, Walmart has Apple AirPods Pro 2 for $100 off — now $139, down from their MSRP of $239.

$239 Save $100   Get Deal

If you’re scouring the internet for some of the truly best deals on AirPods this Black Friday, look no further than this deal from Walmart. This Thanksgiving, you might want to snag a pair of these Apple AirPods Pro 2 from Walmart for $139. Not only is that $100 off, but it’s also one of the lowest possible deals for this model of AirPods online for Black Friday.

The AirPods Pro 2 don’t carry the price tag of the most recent Pro model for AirPods (AirPods Pro 3), but they are up to date enough to offer premium features for an excellent listening experience. This includes the world’s first all-in-one hearing test and hearing protection. They seamlessly connect with your iPhone or other device via Bluetooth with personalizable spatial audio. Their battery life lasts up to 6 hours and comes with four different sizes of silicone tips.

The AirPods Pro 2 and their charging case (which is MagSafe, by the way) are designed to be resistant to dust, water, and air. You can control the AirPods by swiping, tapping, and holding the stem of the earbud. Interact with Siri by nodding for yes and shaking your head for no. And right now, you can get all of these features for just $80.99 at Walmart.

NFL Thanksgiving games streaming: How to watch live

Thu, 11/27/2025 - 10:17

Thanksgiving is the season of gratitude, but it’s also the annual tradition of watching your dad and uncles yell at the TV like the refs can hear them.

As far as Thanksgiving holiday traditions go, the NFL on Thanksgiving is baked right into the stuffing. The league has stacked Thanksgiving with games since its early days in 1920. By 1934, the Detroit Lions became the holiday’s official hosts, and in 1966 the Dallas Cowboys joined the yearly lineup, cementing the modern tradition.

SEE ALSO: Black Friday 2025: Live updates on the latest deals from Amazon, Target, Walmart, and more

This year’s slate is packed: two division rivalries and an appearance from the Super Bowl runner-up Kansas City Chiefs, playing their first Thanksgiving game since 2006.

Here’s how to stream:

Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions

Kicking off the festivities is an NFC North showdown loaded with playoff implications. The Packers and Lions last met in the season opener, when Green Bay stunned Detroit with a decisive win — a shocker considering the Lions entered the year with some of the highest Super Bowl odds in the league.

Now at 7–4 and fresh off a nail-biter against the 2–10 Giants, Detroit desperately needs this one. Their end-of-season schedule is brutal, and they’re currently sitting just outside the Wild Card picture. Green Bay isn’t exactly cruising either: the Packers are 7–3–1, holding only a half-game edge over Detroit and still staring down two games against the surging 8–3 Bears.

The NFC North is a pressure cooker right now, and only two teams from the division are punching playoff tickets.

If you have cable, the game airs on FOX. Cord-cutters can stream it for free on Tubi at 12 p.m. CT / 1 p.m. ET.

Kansas City Chiefs at Dallas Cowboys $25 Paramount Plus Gift Card $25 at Best Buy
  Shop Now at Best Buy

Following the noon matchup, the Dallas Cowboys will host a surprisingly resilient Kansas City Chiefs squad. Dallas is coming off a statement win over the reigning champion Eagles after climbing out of a 21–0 hole. Meanwhile, the Chiefs are riding the momentum of their own after a comeback victory against one of the AFC’s top teams, the Indianapolis Colts.

It’s been a weird season for both franchises. The Cowboys opened the year by trading star edge rusher Micah Parsons to Green Bay after failing to reach a deal on his new contract — a move that stunned just about everyone. The Chiefs, perennial AFC West bullies, suddenly find themselves sitting third at 6–5. For a team that’s made five of the last seven Super Bowls, that’s a jarring place to be. Whether it’s an aging pass rush or an offense that’s grown too predictable, something’s clearly off. Still, back-to-back strong wins have kept them in the hunt.

Both teams desperately need this game to boost their Wild Card odds. The Cowboys, 5–5–1 and sitting 10th in the NFC, essentially need to win out — though matchups against the Commanders and Giants give them a fighting chance. The Chiefs are in a similar logjam, tied with the Steelers and Texans as the most likely contenders for the final AFC Wild Card spot if any combination of Jacksonville, Buffalo, or the Chargers stumble down the stretch.

Kickoff is at 3:30 p.m. CT / 4:30 p.m. ET on CBS, with streaming available on Paramount+.

Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens Peacock Premium $4.99 a Month at NBC.com
  Get Deal at NBC.com

If you’d told NFL fans a few weeks ago that this would be the primetime Thanksgiving headliner, they probably would’ve laughed. But the football gods have blessed us, and now we’re getting Joe Burrow vs. Lamar Jackson in an AFC North rivalry game under the national spotlight. That alone is something to be thankful for.

It’s been a season the Bengals would love to forget. Losing Joe Burrow in Week 2 to a grade 3 turf toe injury — a silly-sounding name for a very real ligament tear in his big toe — derailed everything. Burrow is finally back, but at 3–8, Cincinnati does not remotely resemble the playoff hopeful they expected to be.

The Ravens, on the other hand, were a mess early on. They opened 1–5 before hitting their Week 7 bye, but since then, they've ripped off five straight wins to take control of the AFC North. That’s not exactly a Herculean task given the division standings: Cleveland and Cincinnati sit at 3–8, and Pittsburgh can’t find consistency, going 2–3 over their last five.

Still, Baltimore is hot, and they’ll be looking to ride that momentum straight into another win to solidify their grip on the division. As for the Bengals, they’re not mathematically dead. If they win out — and Burrow stays healthy — they could still finish 9–8 with a puncher’s chance at sneaking into the postseason.

You can watch this on Peacock at 7:20 p.m. CT / 8:20 p.m. EST. Or NBC if you have cable.

This Motion Eevee is always a favorite around Black Friday, and it's nearly $15 off right now. It sports 1,366 pieces and features moving ears, legs, and tail as the set re-creates a running motion.

The best deals from Apples Black Friday sale: Score savings on AirPods, Apple TV, and gift cards

Thu, 11/27/2025 - 08:58

Cyber Week is one of the rare times of year when the Apple Store hosts a sale — sort of. Instead of offering cash discounts on its devices, the tech retailer simply doles out free gifts cards with eligible purchases.

Apple's 2025 Black Friday and Cyber Monday Shopping Event will run from Friday, Nov. 28 through Monday Dec. 1, and it's a little bit more tempting than usual. Shoppers can earn up to $250 worth of free gift cards when they buy one of its gadgets direct, up from $200 in 2024 and 2023. Free money is always nice, of course, but third party retailers' Black Friday price cuts on AirPods, MacBooks, iPads, and Apple Watches are far more competitive. Plus, many newer devices are excluded from the Apple Store's promotion.

Right now, there are only five Apple devices and accessories that I would recommend buying on sale from Apple itself.

The Apple Store's 2025 Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals

Apple's free gift card offers for Black Friday and Cyber Monday range from $25 to $250, depending on the product. They can only be redeemed on future purchases from the Apple Store in person or online:

Other retailers' Apple deals are way better, for the most part

Most of the Apple Store's offers pale in comparison to other retailers' cash discounts on its devices (with five notable exceptions — more on them shortly). For instance, Amazon and Walmart have the AirPods 4 marked down to $69 during their Black Friday sales, which is a $60 saving on list price. If you buy them directly from Apple instead, you're only getting $25 back.

Here's another example: Amazon and Best Buy are both selling the M4 MacBook Airs for $250 off — the 13-inch model is $749 (normally $999), while the 15-incher is $949 (normally $1,199). It's silly to buy either size directly from the Apple Store if you're only saving $175 or $200 apiece, respectively.

Even the high-end MacBook Pros that come with Apple's highest free gift card offer have steeper discounts elsewhere. The M4 Pro and M4 Max models are anywhere from $250 to $500 off across Amazon and Best Buy.

It's also crucial to know that Apple Store's Cyber Week savings event doesn't include some of newest products, including the M5 MacBook Pro, M5 iPad Pro, Apple Watch Ultra 3, and Beats PowerBeats Fit earbuds. The AirTag, HomePod mini, Mac Studio, and Studio Display are also omitted. Third-party retailers are the only places to get any sorts of deals on most of them. (The PowerBeats Fit are the sole product I couldn't find on sale anywhere.)

5 Black Friday Apple Store deals worth buying

I've cross-checked all of the products featured in Apple's Cyber Week Savings Event and found five instances where its gift card offer was better than a retailer's cash discount. (The rest are all matched or beaten.) There is a chance they'll get cheaper at third-party retailers on Black Friday proper, so consider waiting to buy them just in case.

The AirPods Pro 3 are currently $219.99 (or $30 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target. They come with a free $50 gift card at the Apple Store.

The $149 Apple TV 4K (3rd Gen, WiFi + Ethernet) was on sale for $99.99 at Costco, but it's now sold out there. (The deal was limited to Costco members, anyway.) It's full price everywhere else along with the WiFi-only model. The Apple Store will give you a free $25 gift card for buying either one direct.

The HomePod (2nd Gen) is marked down to $269.99 at Best Buy, which is a $29.01 discount. Meanwhile, it nets you a free $50 gift card via the Apple Store.

The Beats Studio Buds + are $149.95 at Amazon and $149.99 at Best Buy, a $20-ish savings. At the Apple Store, they come with a free $50 gift card.

Finally, Amazon has the M3 iPad Air's Magic Keyboard on sale for $247.50 in the 11-inch size and $299.99 in the 13-inch size, saving shoppers just $21.50 and $19.01, respectively. The Apple Store throws in a $25 gift card if you buy either one there instead.

If you know you're going to be buying something from the Apple Store this Black Friday, buy some Apple gift cards from Target first. Target Circle members get a free $15 Target gift card for every $100 they spend on Apple gift cards there through Nov. 29. The Target Circle loyalty program is completely free to join, so it's an easy way to score even more free money as part of your Cyber Week shopping.
