It’s never a bad time to buy a new pair of AirPods Max, especially if you’re in the Apple ecosystem. But some times are absolute no-brainers, like a Black Friday deal. Order today, and you’ll get your choice of color for an all-time low price of just $400 at Amazon.

You don’t need to enter any discount codes or clip any coupons, but but be warned: This Black Friday sale is unlikely to last. For that reason alone, I suggest placing your AirPods Max order soon before it’s too late.

The features on these Apple headphones are essentially identical to the previous-gen AirPods Max model, albeit with a USB-C port instead of the previous Lightning port. The switch means the same charging cable can be used with all of the latest Apple hardware, including iPads, Macs, iPhones and their accessories.

You can expect strong active noise cancellation performance as well as instant device pairing and switching, thanks to the Apple H1 chip. Support for personalized spatial audio and the excellent transparency mode is also included. Remember you can also choose your color when ordering the AirPods Max. I’m a big fan of the orange, but you do you.

Why this deal matters

Discounts on Apple products are hard to come by, let alone a discount this big. If you’re interested in the AirPods Max headphones, it’s better to act quickly than to risk missing out.

The Apple Watch Series 11 is the latest in Apple’s long-running line of smartwatches, making it the go-to option for many. But it definitely isn’t the bargain option, something that makes this Black Friday deal all the more impressive. Order from Amazon today, and you’ll get a 42mm Apple Watch Series 11 for a new-low price of just $340.

That deal saves you $59 off the usual $399 asking price, and there are multiple colors and band combinations to choose from. Just make sure to do that soon because we don’t expect this deal to stick around for long.

The Apple Watch Series 11 iterates on the previous models while retaining all of the features that made them so popular. There’s an always-on display and water resistance, perfect for use in the pool. And because it’s full of sensors, you can track and monitor everything from your latest workout to your sleeping patterns.

Battery life is often a problem for smartwatches, but Apple has worked on making sure the Apple Watch Series 11 lasts longer between charges. It can now run for up to 24 hours before it needs topping up, and a 15-minute charge will add an extra eight hours of battery when you need it.

Remember, this is for the 42mm model in the aluminum finish in your choice of color. Need the larger 46mm Apple Watch Series 11? Amazon has you covered. You can grab your new wearable for just $370 instead of the usual $429 right now, too.

Why this deal matters

A smartwatch can make a world of difference, whether you’re looking to get fit or stay that way. But it can also be useful for everyone else as well, thanks to an App Store full of apps. This is your chance to get the best Apple Watch yet at a price we’ve never before seen — just remember: It’s unlikely to hang around for long.
