Apple Black Friday - The Lowdown

Apple isn't exactly what we'd call a deal-friendly brand, and price drops across any of its products - from iPhones to iMacs to Airpods - aren't at all frequent.

But when Black Friday 2021 comes around, we're confident that you'll find some exceptional iPhone tariffs - and this year, it's the iPhone 12 that's likely to be the star of the show.

Of course, many people out there are eagerly awaiting the iPhone 13 pre-orders that are soon to go live.

But it's the bargain-hunters among you that will be look at the plummeting costs of its predecessor, and seeking out some fantastic iPhone 12 Black Friday deals.

If you're seeking out a top iPhone deal this Black Friday, we suggest you bookmark this page, as we'll be keeping it updated with the very best offers across the entire iPhone range when the big day comes around.

Better still will be the offerings on the iPhone 11, which, at two generations old, could practically be considered a budget smartphone.

Read on for everything you need to know about Black Friday and Cyber Monday, including key dates, what to expect and how to seek out the best deals.

For a complete lowdown, there's also our when is Black Friday explainer.

Will there be Black Friday deals on the iPhone 13?

We doubt it. While the iPhone 13, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max and 13 Mini will have hit shelves by that point, we're not expecting any contracts that you might class as deals per se.

Similarly, it's all-but-impossible that Apple will reduce prices on a series of handsets that have only been on sale for a couple of months.

Instead, it's the iPhone 12 you should set your sights on - read on for more.

When is Black Friday?

This year, Black Friday is taking place on November 26 - as is tradition, that's the day directly after U.S. Thanksgiving.

Black Friday is an American sales day that's been going strong over there for several decades, but has slowly grown in popularity in the UK.

These days, the pre-festive period wouldn't feel complete without it.

One thing to bear in mind though: in reality, Black Friday is far more than a single day of sales (or even two days of sales, if you're factoring in Cyber Monday).

You can expect deals to start appearing online a week or even a fortnight ahead of the Friday itself.

Indeed, in 2020 we saw some retailers roll out early, teaser-style sales at the beginning of November (although they kept the best price drops back for nearer Black Friday).

When is Cyber Monday and will Apple be taking part?

With retailers each to catch buyers when they've still got deals on their mind, Cyber Monday always takes place on the other side of the weekend that follows Black Friday.

Apple itself rarely takes part in the sale itself - but don't despair, you'll still find plenty of exceptional iPhone deals from UK network providers like Fonehouse, Affordable Mobiles, Mobiles.co.uk, Carphone Warehouse, and more.

That said, these retailers aren't likely to save all their deals until then: we suggest you keep an eye on this page for great deals on the iPhone 12, iPhone 11 and others in the range from the beginning of Black Friday week (November 22).

Apple's iPhone SE will be on lots of shoppers lists

When will Black Friday iPhone deals start?

The Black Friday sale officially kicks off on November 26. But, based on past years, we'd expect retailers to begin slashing prices in the week or so leading up to that.

So, it's worth keeping an eye out for early-bird offers.

When will Black Friday iPhone deals end?

The Black Friday sale usually goes right through to Cyber Monday on November 29.

If you're looking for a bargain, make sure you get your order in by then so you don't miss out.

What to expect from Black Friday iPhone deals

In a nutshell: it's the iPhone 12 that will likely appear the most among all the deals that we'll see during Black Friday 2021.

With the release of the iPhone 13, the iPhone 12 will no long have flagship status, and so retailers will lower prices across their contracts.

Don't be put off by the fact it's no longer top-of-the-line: we're hearing whispers that the 13 isn't a major advance on its predecessor, and as you can read in our Tech Editor Sean Keach's iPhone 12 review, this is a superb handset that offered users a huge range of new capabilities.

It'll be Fonehouse, Affordable Mobiles, Mobiles.co.uk and Carphone Warehouse that are likely to lead with the best deals.

But like we say, we recommend you stay abreast of what they're offering at least a week ahead of Black Friday.

More Amazing Black Friday Deals

How much will the iPhone 12 cost on Black Friday?

Following the release of the iPhone 13, it's the iPhone 12 that will likely have the best deals on Black Friday in terms of picking up a fantastic, recently issued model at a great price.

You'll likely see much lower upfront costs, even down to £0 upfront, or lower monthly payments - just remember that it's always a balance between these two.

You may well get contracts with fantastic data packages too - probably unlimited data in some deals.

You can currently buy the iPhone 12 64GB handset directly from Amazon at £679, down from a set RRP of £799, but expect that to go even lower come Black Friday.

How to get the best deals on an iPhone this Black Friday

The great thing about Black Friday is that nearly every retailer takes part - and they're all competing for your custom.

So, do your homework beforehand: work out which phone model is best for you, how much data you need, and what the pre-Black Friday costs are. Then you can compare on Black Friday and find the biggest discount.

Make sure you shop around, rather than settling for the first deal you see.

But you also need to work quickly, since Black Friday is such a popular sales day. Start as early in the morning as you can so you get ahead of the competition.

What's the best iPhone right now?

The latest Apple release is the iPhone 13. It features an improved battery life and processor and a better camera set-up than previous iPhone models.

However, it's not a huge change from the iPhone 12 in terms of design and general features and function, so you might be better off going for the slightly older model - which offers significant cost savings.

You can find more info on our iPhone deals page here.

Is Black Friday a good time to buy a new iPhone?

Absolutely! You'll find big, big savings across a range of iPhone models on Black Friday.

That means you can invest in a fantastic iPhone that has all the minutes, text and data you need, plus a fast processor and great camera, but without breaking the bank.

We saw the iPhone 11 go for as little as £29.99 a month at Carphone Warehouse, while Fonehouse offered it for £0 upfront and £35 a month with a staggering 100GB of data.

But there were exceptional offers on the iPhone SE too - over at EE, the Apple Airpods were being offered as a giveaway alongside the handset.

Do Apple products go on sale on Black Friday?

Yes. Apple products go on sale via retailers and mobile networks during the period.

Apple doesn't usually launch a 'Black Friday' sale itself, although it tends to unveil an exclusive Apple event which can mean discounts.

Previously savings have been for existing Apple users looking to trade-in for upgrades.

Apple's iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max have already seen discounts in 2020

Will the iPhone 12 Pro Max be on sale on Black Friday?

Our guess? Yes.

This ruling handset is soon to be knocked off the throne by its equivalent in the iPhone 13 range, and prices are likely to quickly fall.

Currently costing a hefty £1,050 on Amazon, this won't become a cheap handset... but with any luck, a little bit cheaper.
