Walmart previously announced that its first set ofBlack Friday dealswould arrive on November 7, but it’s already jumped the gun with a number of eye-catching pre-event offers. There are some excellentBlack Friday Apple dealshere, including the cheapest prices yet for an iPad Air andApple WatchSE.
Let’s start with theiPad Air that’s now down to $499 (was $599) at Walmart. This offer is for the previous 4th generation model that was originally released in 2020, but it’s still a powerful tablet by today’s standards. And today’s offer is particularly strong as it’s the lowest price we’ve ever seen.
TheiPad Air (4th Gen)comes with a crisp 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, 256GB of storage and Apple’s powerful A14 Bionic chip that offers excellent performance across general everyday tasks, gaming, and more advanced creative work such as photo and video editing.
And then there’s theApple Watch SE for $199 (was $309). Again, this offer is on a last-generation model, but that means you can bag a considerable $110 discount on the usual price. This matches the lowest price we’ve seen for the smartwatch.
Still, theApple Watch SEis a bargain when you consider it still comes with all the important health and fitness features you’d need on a smartwatch as a general user. These include heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, GPS and cellular connectivity. It also looks very similar to the more premium Apple Watch models, albeit with a smaller 40mm display.

Apple iPad Air (4th Gen, 256GB):$599$499 at WalmartSave $100– Now that the new 2022 model has been released, the previous version of the iPad Air has been given a considerable price cut at Walmart. This is the cheapest it’s ever been, making it a fantastic value-for-money alternative to the iPad Pro. It sports a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, 256GB of storage and an A14 Bionic chip that can handle video editing, music creation and gaming with ease. It’s a powerful tablet at a terrific price.
Apple Watch SE (1st Gen, GPS + Cellular):$309$199 at WalmartSave $110– The budget-friendly Apple Watch SE is reduced to its lowest price at Walmart. The design is very similar to the more premium Apple smartwatches, but it has a smaller screen and doesn’t feature the same always-on function. This is also the older first-generation model, but it still comes with all key health and fitness tracking features, such as heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking and GPS. At this price, it’s a solid affordable option for most users.
