In fact, it even eclipsed <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/black-friday-deals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Black Friday</a> last year in terms of online sales. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/cyber-monday-deals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cyber Monday</a> online spending in the United States <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/cyber-monday-spending-soars-smartphones-2019-12" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reached $9.4 billion in 2019</a>, compared to the $7.4 billion spent online on Black Friday.</p><p>Black Friday and Cyber Monday typically both have a lot to offer when it comes to tech deals, and this year is no differentespecially when it comes to Apple discounts. Deals on the Apple Watch, AirPods, and other devices were already live in the days leading up to Thanksgiving, and we've already seen sales on popular Apple tech like the new iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPad Pro sell out at major retailers like Walmart.</p><p>That doesn't mean that there won't still be deals to find when the weekend is over though and there's a chance that more stock for hot items like AirPods Pro become available on Monday.</p><p>Here are the best deals on Apple tech right now. We'll be updating this post as more deals appear throughout the Black Friday and Cyber Monday events.</p><p><em>Updated on 11/27/20 by Kevin Webb: Updated sale information to reflect Black Friday stock for iPads, Apple Watches, and iPhone 12.</em></p><h2>The best early Cyber Monday deals on Apple Watches</h2><h3>Apple Watch Series 6</h3><p>Apple's most advanced new smartwatch is on sale ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The Series 6 is the first watch to come with the ability to read blood oxygen levels, although that feature alone isn't what makes it a worthwhile smartwatch. Its brighter always-on display, faster charging, and wellness features such as the ability to take an ECG from the wrist make it a great choice for those looking for robust health tracking in a smartwatch.</p><bi-shortcode id="commerce-link" class="mceNonEditable" data-cardtype="medium" data-pid="5f6cfb0302495a07337f0624" data-purchase-option="Walmart">Series 6 (medium, Preferred: Walmart)</bi-shortcode><h3><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-watch-series-6-review" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read our Apple Watch Series 6 review</a>.</h3><h3><strong>Apple Watch Series 5</strong></h3><p>The Apple Watch Series 5 is still a fantastic smartwatch that's a bit more capable than the Series SE but at a cheaper price than the Series 6. It has an always-on display and the ability to take an ECG from the wristtwo features that are missing from the SE. It lacks other new health features like blood oxygen measurements, but still offers many of Apple's other health-oriented features.</p><div></div><h3>Apple Watch SE</h3><p>If you're looking to spend a little less, consider the Apple Watch SE. Apple's lower-priced watch comes with all of the basic functionality of the Series 6, but without blood oxygen monitoring, an always-on display, and ECG monitoring. But, it still has other more modern features like a compass and the ability to detect hard falls.</p><div></div><h3><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-watch-se-review" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read our Apple Watch SE review</a>.</h3><h3><strong>Apple Watch Series 3</strong></h3><p>The Apple Watch Series 3 came out in 2017, but it's still a solid smartwatch for those who just want the basic Apple Watch experience. It lacks an always-on display, has a slightly smaller screen compared to the SE and Series 6, and doesn't come with a built-in compass or fall detection like its pricier siblings. But, it still works great for those who just want an Apple Watch for monitoring activity and delivering smartphone notifications to the wrist.</p><div></div><div></div><div></div><h2>The best early Cyber Monday deals on AirPods</h2><h3>Apple AirPods Pro</h3><p>Apple's top-of-the-line AirPods are available at a discount this holiday season. Compared to Apple's standard AirPods, the Pro model offers active noise cancellation, improved audio, and customizable ear tips. They may not be <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-wireless-earbuds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">our top pick overall</a> when it comes to wireless earbuds, but the AirPods Pro are the best choice for Apple fans, especially now that they're been updated with new features like spatial audio. They're a bargain at $190, but the lowest we've seen them sell for was <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-airpods-black-friday-deals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$169 at Walmart</a>.</p><div></div><h3>Apple AirPods (second generation)</h3><p>Looking to spend a little less' Apple's standard AirPods are on sale leading up to Cyber Monday, too. These AirPods still offer convenient features like quick pairing, hands-free Siri access, and automatic playing and pausing, but without the Pro's more advanced features and higher price tag.</p><div></div><div></div><h2>The best early Cyber Monday deals on iPads</h2><h3>Apple iPad</h3><p>Apple's least expensive iPad, which just launched in September, is already on sale ahead of the holiday season. The latest iPad is much faster than its predecessor since it runs on Apple's newer A12 Bionic processor, and it also supports the first-generation Apple Pencil. It's an ideal choice for those who just want a basic iPad for browsing the web, online shopping, watching Netflix, and checking social media.</p><bi-shortcode id="commerce-link" class="mceNonEditable" data-cardtype="medium" data-pid="5f6503d32c44cc084e2cd185" data-purchase-option="Walmart">2020 iPad 10.2-inch (8th Gen) (medium, Preferred: Walmart)</bi-shortcode><h3><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-apple-ipads" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Check out our iPad buyers guide</a>.</h3><h3>Apple iPad Air</h3><p>Apple's new iPad Air comes with the same powerful processor as the latest iPhones, a sleek and colorful new design, and a larger screen compared to its predecessor. If you want an iPad with speedy performance for doing light work in addition to watching movies and web browsing, the Air is an ideal choice. Apple's starting price is $599, but you can get it for $559 at Amazon.</p><div></div><h3>Apple iPad Pro</h3><p>If you want an iPad that packs powerful performance, the iPad Pro is available at a discount. The iPad Pro's slim design, long battery life, and excellent screen make it a stronger choice for those who plan to get serious work done on their iPadlike photographers, video editors, and interior designers. The latter may also benefit from the Pro's LiDAR sensor, which makes it much better at detecting depth and measuring nearby surfaces.</p><bi-shortcode id="commerce-link" class="mceNonEditable" data-cardtype="medium" data-pid="5e73b752c485404a3a18da94" data-purchase-option="Walmart">2020 iPad Pro 11-inch, WiFi, 128GB (medium, Preferred: Walmart)</bi-shortcode><div></div><h3><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-ipad-pro-2020-review" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read our full review of the iPad Pro</a>.</h3><h2>The best early Cyber Monday deals on iPhone 12</h2><p>Carriers have been offering deals since the iPhone 12 launched, but more discounts are surfacing now that we're getting closer to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. The iPhone 12 lineup are Apple's first smartphones to come with 5G, but that's not the main characteristic that makes them worthwhile. The phones also offer a boost in camera quality that makes them better at taking photos in dark circumstances, and come with a refreshed design with a more durable screen.</p><bi-shortcode id="commerce-link" class="mceNonEditable" data-cardtype="medium" data-pid="5f89a73f5146726a50681904" data-purchase-option="Walmart">iPhone 12 Mini (medium, Preferred: Walmart)</bi-shortcode><bi-shortcode id="commerce-link" class="mceNonEditable" data-cardtype="medium" data-pid="5f89a26cacfefb515e553a63" data-purchase-option="Walmart">iPhone 12 (medium, Preferred: Walmart)</bi-shortcode><bi-shortcode id="commerce-link" class="mceNonEditable" data-cardtype="medium" data-pid="5f89a4627be3a47c0b621176" data-purchase-option="Walmart">iPhone 12 Pro (medium, Preferred: Walmart)</bi-shortcode><bi-shortcode id="commerce-link" class="mceNonEditable" data-cardtype="medium" data-pid="5f89a6012c44cc5be85cc1cd" data-purchase-option="Walmart">iPhone 12 Pro Max (medium, Preferred: Walmart)</bi-shortcode><p>If you are interested in what carriers have to offer, take a look at these discounts below.

With its larger screen and booming speakers, the 16-inch MacBook Pro is ideal for those looking for a more desktop-like experience in a laptop. The 13-inch model may lack the 16-inch version's impressive speakers, but it still offers more powerful performance than the Air in a more compact design than the 16-inch variant.</p><bi-shortcode id="commerce-link" class="mceNonEditable" data-cardtype="medium" data-pid="5f80c124977c4305bc315937" data-purchase-option="Amazon">MacBook Pro (16-inch, 16GB RAM, 1TB Storage) (medium, Preferred: Amazon)</bi-shortcode><bi-shortcode id="commerce-link" class="mceNonEditable" data-cardtype="medium" data-pid="5ddd7bf0fd9db2677f06d993" data-purchase-option="Best Buy">Macbook Pro (16-inch, 16GB RAM, 512GB) (medium, Preferred: Best Buy)</bi-shortcode><h3><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-macbook-pro-16-inch-review-specs-best-work-laptop-2019-11#overall-the-new-macbook-pro-is-the-best-apple-laptop-you-can-buy-for-getting-work-done-but-its-still-notably-expensive-compared-to-windows-alternatives-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read our 16-inch MacBook Pro review</a>.</h3><bi-shortcode id="commerce-link" class="mceNonEditable" data-cardtype="medium" data-pid="5f9953cce155cf27d2170c16" data-purchase-option="Amazon">MacBook Pro (2020, 13-inch, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 4 ports) (medium, Preferred: Amazon)</bi-shortcode><h3><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-macbook-pro-13-inch-2020-review" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read our 13-inch MacBook Pro review</a>.</h3><h2>The best early Cyber Monday deals on Beats headphones</h2><h3>Beats Studio3</h3><p>If you want the ease-of-use of AirPods but in an over-the-ear format, check out the Beats Studio3.

But, in years past, it's offered gift cards when purchasing select products. Last year, for example, Apple's promotion included gift cards of up to $200 on select purchases. Apple has not yet said whether it plans to offer a similar deal in 2020. But, last year it <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/19/11/25/apple-unveils-its-black-friday-gift-card-offers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made the announcement</a> on November 25, so we may hear more about upcoming gift card promotions in the coming days.</p><h3>Should I buy from Amazon, Target, Best Buy, or Walmart'</h3><p>Many of these retailers offer very similar deals on products like the AirPods and the Apple Watch, which means you'll have a couple of options should one retailer go out of stock. In instances where multiple retailers offer the same product at the same price, consider which retailer is most convenient for you in terms of shipping options. If you have an Amazon Prime membership and want to get the product as fast as possible, it might make more sense to purchase through Amazon. But, if you'd rather pick up the item at your nearby Target or Best Buy, you should consider ordering from your preferred brick-and-mortar retailer.</p><h3>Do these stores offer curbside pickup'</h3><p>Yes, Target, Best Buy, and Walmart all offer curbside pickup. But, you should check with your local retailer since the rules may vary by location and items purchased. Walmart, for example, says that not all stores offer curbside pickup <a href="https://go.skimresources.com'id=35871X943606&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fcp%2Ffree-store-pickup%2F2281929" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">for Black Friday deals</a>.</p><h3>How do we choose the best Apple deals'</h3><p>We select products that meet our high standard of coverage based on testing and research. This includes testing Apple's products as well similar devices from its main competitors.</p><p>We also research prices across retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Best Buy and compare them against Apple's prices to find the deals that are worth paying attention to.</p><p><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-cyber-monday-deals#comments">Join the conversation about this story »</a></p>
