Black Friday Tech Deals Arrive Early on Apple, Samsung and Bose Picks

Tech discounts start in November

Black Friday shoppers do not have to wait until Thanksgiving to find online sales, according to a Good Housekeeping deals writer who has covered the shopping season for six years. Discounts begin at the start of November, with tech among the categories that often see early price cuts.

Samsung Frame TVs, Apple products and Bose audio are already included in sales. Deals may change or sell out before Black Friday, so shoppers may want to consider a current price on an item they need or plan to give as a gift.

Lab-tested picks on sale

Good Housekeeping’s Tech & Engineering Lab regularly evaluates technology products. The deals highlighted include the Lab’s top-tested choices and some of the writer’s personal favorites. Some popular tech and smart home products are more than half off. The second-generation Apple AirTag and Ring doorbells are described as being at their lowest prices yet.

Apple offers include AirPods

Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 are discounted by 20%, or $49 off their regular price. Lab experts selected them as the best overall in-ear headphones, citing sound quality and noise cancellation in testing.

Other Apple offers have smaller discounts. The deal on the 2026 13-inch MacBook Air is $200 off, matching its October Prime Day price. The article notes that MacBook and iPad prices rose earlier this year.
