The Best Apple Black Friday Deals in 2023
Costco: The warehouse club is offering a variety of Apple deals this Black Friday season. From October 30 through November 12, Costco members can take advantage of the store’s iPad Savings Event. You’ll have to search for “iPad23HM” on Costco’s website to find these deals, and there’s a limit of two per member.
Costco isn’t stopping there, though. Members can also shop the Mac Savings Event from November 13 through November 27. Again, we don’t have any real details except that you’ll need to search for “MAC23HM” and there’s a limit of two per member.
Finally, Costco is hosting an Apple Savings Event from Black Friday itself on November 24 through Cyber Monday on November 27. Search for “AppleDeals” on Costco’s website as soon as November 23 to see some of these offers available for shopping.

Black Friday MacBook Deals
Black Friday MacBook Deals
Our 2023 Prediction: Gift cards worth hundreds will be included with Apple MacBook purchases
Like iPhones, MacBooks will probably come bundled with gift cards this year if Apple repeats its offer from 2022. From Black Friday to Cyber Monday last year, Apple included $150 gift cards with MacBook Air purchases, $200 gift cards with MacBook Pro 13" purchases, and $250 gift cards with MacBook Pro 14" or 16" purchases.
Expect Woot!, eBay, and Amazon to be good places to shop Black Friday deals on Apple MacBooks.
If you’re looking for discounted MacBooks as opposed to gift card offers, know that deals will be available, but it helps to know where and what to shop. You can save by opting for refurbished models, for instance. Last year, Woot! sold refurbished MacBooks and iPads from $130, and UntilGone had strong savings on refurbished MacBook Air and MacBook Pro laptops. eBay is also a good site to shop, especially for open-box models.
What about new MacBooks? You may want to check out Amazon for those. In 2022, they offered a 2020 MacBook Air 13.3" laptop for $799 and a MacBook Air 13.6" laptop for $1,049. Both models were outfitted with chips from Apple. Read more about what we expect from MacBook and other Black Friday laptop deals in 2023 here!
