Cyber Monday 2021 iPhone deals

The iPhone is the hub of your digital life, but a high-end iPhone can cost a lot of money. Thankfully, there will be some solid deals on iPhones for Black Friday 2021. Here are some of the best iPhone deals for Cyber Monday.

How to get the best Cyber Monday Apple deals

Buying an Apple device is usually a little easier than, for example, trying to find a great smart home device. That’s because there are tons of smart home products out there, and finding the right one for your needs can be hard. If you’re an Apple fan and need a laptop, you’re looking at getting either a MacBook Air or a MacBook Pro. Need a phone? You’re getting an iPhone. Smartwatch? Apple Watch.

Of course, that’s not a bad thing. Apple products are among the best in their class, plus they all work together incredibly well.

To find the best Cyber Monday Apple deals, it’s worth just making a list of the products you actually want. If it goes on sale, pull the trigger. If not, you can wait until Cyber Monday, or later.

Black Friday vs Cyber Monday Apple deals

Both Black Friday and Cyber Monday will likely offer some decent Apple deals. It’s hard to tell exactly which day will offer the better deals.

Traditionally, Black Friday has been the time to take advantage of in-store deals. Cyber Monday, as the name suggests, has been for online deals. That, however, has changed recently, and that change has been accelerated by the pandemic. These days, you can still get Black Friday deals online — so don’t feel like you have to rush to the store to get a good deal.

Ultimately, if you find a great deal on Black Friday, and don’t know for sure that there will be a better one on Cyber Monday, then it’s worth buying the device. It’s entirely possible that Cyber Monday will offer a better deal. But, unless you can cancel your purchase and re-order on Cyber Monday, it’s not even worth looking on Cyber Monday.

Where are the best Cyber Monday Apple deals?

You’ll be able to get great Apple deals from all kinds of retailers. Traditionally, Apple itself hasn’t offered very many Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. So, if you want to buy straight from Apple, you may not get much better prices than you would now. It’s still worth waiting to see though.

The better deals will be from third-party retailers. For example, Best Buy, Walmart, and Amazon will likely offer deals on MacBooks, iPads, and AirPods. We’ll have to see what kinds of deals we get for the iPhone. The iPhone often doesn’t get very big discounts.

Should I wait until Cyber Monday to buy Apple products?

That depends. You may find a great deal on an Apple product on Black Friday, and if so, it’s probably a good idea to buy it. There’s no guarantee that you’ll get a similar deal on Cyber Monday. That said, if you’re not desperate for a new device, it’s perhaps worth waiting for Cyber Monday to see if a better deal becomes available.

Last year’s Cyber Monday Apple deals

Last year, we saw lots of great deals on Apple products, including from Apple itself. In 2020, Apple offered a $150 Apple Store gift card on select purchases. Other stores, however, offered discounts on AirPods Pro, select Apple Watch models, and even the iPad Pro.

We didn’t really see many discounts on iPhone models, and it’s unclear if that will change or not this year. If iPhone 12 models are still on sale, it’s likely they’ll get discounts first, before the iPhone 13 models that will only be a month or two old at that point.
