Best Black Friday deals 2024
Bookmark us or leave this tab open on your browser, as our team is updating this article around the clock this weekend. Look out, though; some of the best deals will sell out long before Black Friday itself ends.
Black Friday Apple deals
The official Apple store aside, Apple products are regularly on sale, but things often get even better on Black Friday. The excellent AirPods Pro 2 have never been cheaper, and the newest base iPad is an excellent price if you’ve been considering upgrading an older model. Verizon would very much like you to pick up an iPhone 16 as it’s throwing in some freebies if you sign up for an unlimited plan.
Apple iPad (10th Gen, 2022)
The 10th-generation iPad features a modern Apple tablet design, USB-C, and a centered front camera for better video calls. It runs basic tasks capably on the older A14 Bionic chip, and its low starting price makes it the best overall value for most users.
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) with USB-C
The AirPods Pro 2 are a big upgrade from their predecessors, with improved noise cancellation and battery life. They also support new aural health features to assess your hearing and function as hearing aids. This model comes with a USB-C charging case and added dust resistance.
Apple MacBook Air 13-inch M2 (2022)
The 2022 MacBook Air introduced Apple’s M2 processor, which improved performance over the M1 version. It has an especially thin and lightweight design, an improved webcam, and a larger display. Make sure to check for the 16GB RAM model, as it’s becoming the standard base option instead of the original 8GB RAM model.
Apple Watch Series 10 (42 mm)
The Series 10 is thinner than its predecessors, with a larger case and screen overall. It runs on the S10 processor; it has a wide-angle OLED display for easier reading at an angle, faster charging, and media playback from its speakers.
Apple Watch SE 2nd Gen (40mm)
The second-generation Apple Watch SE is an impressive entry-level wearable that shares the same processor as the Series 8 and Ultra, so it’s still smooth despite being two years old. It doesn’t have the advanced health sensors of premium models, but it offers enough features to satisfy most people.
Apple iPhone 16
Verizon is offering the iPhone 16 for free as long as the line using the phone is on the Unlimited Ultimate plan and the user doesn’t switch phones for 36 months.
Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max
Verizon is offering the iPhone 16 Pro Max without a trade-in for $5/month for 36 months (three years), which amounts to $180. The deal requires the Unlimited Ultimate plan for the line that’s using the iPhone 16 Pro Max. If you switch phones before the 36 months period, you’ll have to pay off the remaining balance of phone.
Apple iPhone 16 series, iPad, and Apple Watch bundle (Verizon)
New and existing Verizon customers can trade-in any phone in any condition from Apple, Google, or Samsung to get the iPhone 16 Pro free. You must keep the iPhone 16 Pro for 36 months (three years) to keep the deal active, and can’t upgrade to a new phone. The line that’s using this deal must have or upgrade to Verizon’s Unlimited Ultimate plan. You also need service plans for the free iPad and Apple Watch. There may be a one-time $35 activation fee. It’s possible to get an iPhone 16 Pro Max with this deal, but it would cost $5/month for 36 months.
Black Friday streaming deals
Let’s bring back those times when your monthly streaming costs streaming were way cheaper than old-school cable per month. Some highlights include Disney Plus Bundle Duo or Max for only $3 a month. I just bought both – that’s winter solved.
Disney Plus & Hulu Duo Bundle Basic
There’s a huge double-saving on these two bundled popular ad-supported streaming platforms as this price lasts for 12 months. If you subscribe to these two individually, they’re $9.99 a month each. Outside of Black Friday, this already-discounted Duo package would be $10.99, but less than a cup of coffee a month for the next year is unbeatable value. Offer expires December 2.
Max with ads (Monthly Plan)
Max is a premium service for fans of prestige television, iconic films, and unscripted programs like Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Succession, House of the Dragon, The Last of Us, and more. The ad-supported tier is usually $9.99 a month, but a special promo has lowered the price to $2.99 monthly for six months. Otherwise, you’re looking at $17 for ad-free and $21 if you want to view in 4K.
Hulu with Ads (Monthly Plan)
Hulu is an excellent choice for cord-cutters thanks to a mix of exclusive titles and next-day streaming for popular network shows. The ad-supported tier is usually $9.99 a month, but the epic Black Friday deal has returned, lowering those monthly fee prices to just 99 cents for a year. We’d spend an extra couple of bucks and get it bundled with Disney Plus, though. Both offers expire December 2.
Peacock Premium (Monthly Plan)
Peacock is a convenient streaming source for hit NBC TV shows, Universal movies, and select sports like Sunday Night Football. Monthly fees are usually $7.99, but the current Black Friday promo slashes that price down to $1.99 for six months on the ad-supported tier. Or you can go for a year at just $20. Offer expires December 2.
Peacock Premium (Annual Plan)
The annual version of Peacock’s ad-supported tier is an absolute steal right now, with a major Black Friday discount getting you a whole year of access for just $19.99. That’s plenty of time to enjoy a rich collection of sitcoms, movies, and live events. Offer expires December 2.
Paramount Plus Essential (Monthly Plan)
Paramount Plus is perfect for viewers who want to stream CBS TV shows, local NFL games, and tons of content from Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, BET, and MTV. And if you get the premium tier you can also unlock ad-free streaming and access to Showtime. A new promotion sees the monthly fee knocked down to $2.99 for a couple of months.
Paramount Plus with Showtime (Monthly Plan)
Paramount Plus offers a huge library of on-demand content from Paramount, CBS, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, BET, and MTV. The Premium Plan also includes Showtime and live CBS streaming. It costs $12.99 a month or $120 a year. For the next two months, though, you get this tier for just $2.99 a month, which is a great opportunity to make your way through a few shows with no irritating ads – of which there are many on the ad-supported tier.
Starz Semi-Annual Plan
The Starz streaming service offers several original shows and classic movies. The semi-annual plan is a steal compared to a standard month-to-month subscription.
Fubo Pro Plan
Fubo is the streaming service for sports fans. Its huge library of channels includes regional and international sports leagues, setting it apart from the competition. You can also tack on additional programming to your plan, but it’ll cost you extra.
Black Friday tech deals
From smartphones to smartwatches, there’s plenty of tech to save on for Black Friday. It makes now a good time to upgrade your own devices or get a gift for a loved one before Christmas. We’ll be keeping tabs on the best of the best below, including Samsung, Google, Kindle, Echo, and more.
Mint Mobile Unlimited Data Plan
Mint’s Unlimited plan offers unlimited talk, text, and data, but you’ll be slowed to 4G LTE speeds after using 40GB. New customers can get half off their first three months when they pay up front. We recommend signing up for the Unlimited option to score the most savings since it’s typically the priciest of the lineup.
Mint Mobile Annual Unlimited Plan Bundle
When you buy an eligible phone through Mint Mobile, you can bundle it with a year of an unlimited data plan at a 50% discounted rate of just $15/month. The MVNO is also heavily discounting several phones from their standard starting prices, including up to $500 off the Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra
The Galaxy S24 Ultra is Samsung’s top-end phone in 2024, set apart from its Galaxy S24 siblings and most of the premium phone competition with its four cameras, giant 6.8-inch display, stunning battery life, and included S Pen stylus.
Google Pixel 9 Pro XL
The Pixel 9 Pro XL offers a large 6.8-inch display and one of the best battery test results we’ve seen in a phone. The Pixel 9 Pro shares the same performance, first-rate three-lens camera system, super-bright Actua display, and Gemini AI suite with a free year of Gemini Advanced.
Dell XPS 15 9530 (2023)
Dell’s line of premium XPS laptops are known for their performance and reliability. The 9530 series features Intel’s Core i7-13620H processor and starts with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. That should be plenty of performance and storage for most people with busy, fast-paced workloads.
Dell Inspiron 14 7445 2-in-1 Touch Laptop (2024)
This Dell Inspiron’s display folds 180-degrees to turn the laptop into a tablet. Running on the AMD Ryzen 5 8640HS processor, 8GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage, it can handle most people’s workloads with ease.
Lenovo IdeaPad 1 (2024)
The base model IdeaPad 1 comes with a large 15-inch screen and runs on the entry-level AMD Ryzen 3 7320U processor with 4GB RAM and 128GB of storage. It’s purely for very basic uses, like lightweight web browsing, but it’s priced well for its purpose.
Adobe Creative Cloud All Apps
Creative Cloud allows you to enjoy all the best apps Adobe has to offer, including Photoshop, Animate, and Illustrator.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2024)
Amazon’s latest Kindle Paperwhite offers even faster performance than its predecessors in the same thin, waterproof form readers love.
Amazon Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen)
The latest version of the Echo Show 8 features improved audio, a built-in smart home hub, a better processor, and a revised design featuring edge-to-edge glass with a centered camera.
Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen)
Amazon’s fifth-generation Echo Dot offers improved sound quality over previous models, along with a temperature sensor and Eero WiFi extender capabilities.
Samsung Galaxy Watch 4
Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 4 may be an older smartwatch, but it’s still one of the best on the market, and now that it’s available at a lower price, it’s a great budget option for Android users.
Google Pixel Watch 3
The latest Google Pixel Watch offers robust fitness tracking benefits like Fitbit Morning Brief, advanced running features, and target cardio load.
HP LaserJet Pro MFP 3101sdw Printer
With rapid two-sided printing (up to 35 pages per minute), a 250 sheet tray, and a built-in scanner/copier, HP’s multi-function printer is a great choice for a home or small office setup. The touchscreen display makes navigating all the features super simple, too.
ExpressVPN Two Year Plan (w/ 6 Extra Months Free)
ExpressVPN’s two-year plan offers even more savings than its one-year counterpart, including six months free. The 30-month plan features all of ExpressVPN’s standard perks, as well as the brand-new Identity Defender suite for US subscribers, which includes a monthly credit report and data removal. There’s also a hassle-free 30-day money-back guarantee.
NordVPN 27-month plan
NordVPN is one of the top VPN services in the business. It offers excellent value with a strong selection of features and a low monthly price. A wide selection of international servers, high-end security, fast connections, and audited privacy protection have made the brand a household name in the world of VPNs. This new VPN deal drops the per-month price as low as $2.99 on a two-year plan.

Samsung 65-inch S90D OLED 4K TV

Samsung 65-inch The Frame (LS03D)
Samsung’s Frame TV can be mounted flush against your wall like a hanging piece of art. It also features a matte screen to make it look more like canvas, and you can purchase optional magnetic frame bezels in different colors and designs.
LG 65-inch B4 OLED 4K TV
The B4 is LG’s entry-level OLED TV. Though it can’t get as bright as pricier models, it still offers an infinite contrast which makes it a great budget OLED for watching movies in a dark room.
Hisense 100-inch U76N QLED 4K TV
This 100-inch TV is a whopping size that will allow you to catch every inch of every game. With up to 800 nits of HDR brightness, local dimming, and a fast 144Hz refresh rate, this is one of the best values there is at this size.

Black Friday FAQs
When is Black Friday?
Black Friday 2024 officially lands on November 29, the Friday after Thanksgiving. Sales kicked off way before then, but some fresh discounts will arrive on the day itself, too.
Is Black Friday or Cyber Monday better?
Historically, Black Friday was an event reserved for in-person shopping, while Cyber Monday was an occasion for online buyers. Over the years, however, that distinction has long been lost, and the two have become very similar. Rather, Black Friday seems to herald the beginning of the holiday’s best deals, while Cyber Monday marks their final day at most stores. Both are great. I would say that it’s best to buy a deal you find on Black Friday because if you wait until Cyber Monday, you may find it out of stock.
In terms of offerings, Black Friday tends to be more geared toward home goods, TVs, fashion, furniture, and appliances. If you can recall the items people would fill their carts with during the Black Fridays of yore, you’ve got a good idea of the day’s most popularly discounted items. Think toasters, video games, big-screen TVs, vacuum cleaners, clothes, and mattresses.
Cyber Monday used to be geared toward tech, and nowadays, it still carries a little bit of that influence. While most of the Black Friday deals continue on, you can also find limited-time discounts on products like PC components, gaming consoles, cameras, and computer accessories.
Again though, if you see a deal on a piece of tech you really like on black Friday, we’d hop on it as it’s not guaranteed to still be there on Cyber Monday.
What should you buy during Black Friday?
Black Friday is a great event to take advantage of for gift shopping and upgrading or restocking your home. If you’ve been waiting for a good deal to step up your entertainment center or kitchen counter, we see all-time lows every year on our top TVs, gaming consoles, smart speakers, air fryers, VPNs, streaming services, coffee makers, and the like. With Christmas on the horizon, it’s also a good occasion to shop for great gift discounts on products like e-readers, gaming accessories, headphones, videogames, iPads, and much more.
Many great savings can be had on Black Friday, making it more of a question of “What shouldn’t you buy?” You shouldn’t be buying products from shady brands or sellers, especially on social media, no matter how cheap they are. That’s why we highlight only deals on products we’ve tested or researched from sellers we trust, making it easier for you to shop with peace of mind during the rush of Black Friday.
Why is it called “Black Friday”?
The name “Black Friday” hails from a stock market crash in September of 1869 caused by two investors driving up the price of gold. That, combined with a 50% drop in harvest value for corn and wheat, resulted in an all-around dark day for the economy.
Almost a century later, the name returned in the 1950s as the term for the Friday between Thanksgiving and the annual Army-Navy college football game. Law enforcement would often refer to it as such because of the longer hours they’d have to work to police the influx of traffic and shoppers during that period.
Like all popular terms, businesses picked it up for marketing purposes, attempting to rework it into “Big Friday.” But it never stuck and “Black Friday” took over as the most commonly used name by the 1980s. It’s a fitting name since the holiday is such a massive retail event, often moving many businesses’ finances from the red into the black.
