It's not too late for Black Friday deals on Apple gear

November 26, 2022

Black Friday is officially over, but the deals are still going strong (most likely through the horribly named Cyber Monday 🤮).

Our roundup of best Black Friday deals on Apple gear showcases lots of hot buys that are still available. And there's always Apple's own Black Friday sale (which is all about gift cards, as per usual).

The Cult of Mac Store gets in on the weekend shopping action, too. Check out our Black Friday Deals section for discounts of up to 70%. As always, our store is stocked with carefully vetted accessories for all your Apple gear.

Enjoy your weekend!

Reviews

New Apple TV+ series Echo 3 follows two very different military men who venture to South America to rescue a mutual loved one during a clandestine war. Written and produced by Mark Boal, the mind behind Zero Dark Thirty and The Hurt Locker, the series is very weird, if certainly memorable.

Setups

If you’ve got a tiny desk for a workspace, you’ve got to make the most of it. This setup centers on an M1 MacBook Air driving a small 4K external display, clearly going away from the trend toward big-screen-TV-size displays for a reason — namely, vanishingly small desk space.

Modern computer setups lean more and more on smart lighting for practical uses and to set the mood. Some of it can even pulse and change in sync to music or action on your screen.

Some people like a lot of screens. Others like to stay glued to one and one only. In this setup, the user wrestles with the question of whether to keep his iPad Pro front and center, right in front of the external display, or just leave it out.
