At Apple itself, Black Friday has a very long tradition; offers were already available in Germany before most retailers jumped on the day of action in the USA. However, you won’t find any particularly great bargains in the Apple Store. Customers pay the normal price, but this year the manufacturer is including a gift card Add a credit value of up to 200 euros. If you are interested in the latest devices, take a look: There is nothing for the iPhone 15 (Pro) and MacBook Pro.

We had the code, which can be redeemed for Apple Music, App Store apps or in the Apple Store, in our mailbox just under 15 minutes after ordering. However, the Amazon credit cannot be redeemed for eBooks etc. and Apple products and it is only valid until January 15th.
MacBooks and accessories on Black Friday
You can also find models from the MacBook Pro series with M3 chip from autumn 2023 at a discount at authorized Apple dealers such as Cyberport. The 14 inch device starts there at 1777 euros instead of 1999 euros. However, we strongly recommend not taking the entry-level version with a meager 8 GB of RAM, but at least 16 GB. Various retailers following in the embedded price comparison. The discontinued models with M2 chip, which also came out this year, are significantly more reduced.
The MacBook Air from 2022 is a cheap entry-level computer for under 1100 euros, but with little memory with 8 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD. Even used dealer Rebuy doesn’t offer anything significantly cheaper despite a 10 percent Black Friday discount.
Among the Storage offers We noticed the small external Samsung Portable SSD 2 TByte, for 99 euros at MediaMarkt and Saturn. Amazon sells a memory stick with USB Type A and Type C connectors, 512 GB for 36 euros.
The Magic Mouse 3 with the much-derided Lightning connector on the bottom is available for around 65 euros from Voelkner (with voucher BLACK23) and Amazon.
Power supplies For MacBook, iPhone and iPad, which are significantly smaller and cheaper than those from Apple, you can get them from Anker, for example. The 65-watt plug 737 offers two USB-C charging ports and a Type A. Today on Black Friday and – if stocks last – probably over the weekend It’s available for just under 39 euros.
iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch (Ultra) and accessories
The discounts on the new iPhone 15 Pro are very poor. For discontinued models, we found the iPhone 14 and 13 cheaply on Freenet this morning, for 709 euros and 639 euros respectively. Apple no longer includes a power supply, but you can get the small Anker 511 Nano with 20 watts for 12 euros take.
Whoever has always heard of one Apple Watch Ultra dreamed: The first generation now costs around 700 euros at several retailers instead of the original 1000 euros, see the following price comparison. It is now a (worthwhile) discontinued model; the price drop was caused by the appearance of the second generation in autumn.
The iPads in the design without a home button remain expensive. The entry-level device from 2022 with 64 GB of memory currently costs around 500 euros. A successor is likely to appear in the next half year – but of course it won’t be cheaper either.
At least there is Apple Pencil 2 today for 96 euros, you usually pay a three-digit amount. Also the AirTags are on offer, the key finders cost in a pack of four today only 96 euros.
The HomePod mini had the cheapest this morning Media market and Saturn on offer, for around 90 euros. Only Telekom customers pay another 13 euros less if they shop with their mobile phone provider on Monday.
