Thanks to Amazon, you can keep tabs on four of your most valuables for less, with the AirTags reduced to £94.

Once secured onto an item, customers can track and locate it via the Find My app, and you won’t have to worry about it running out of charge.

According to Apple, the AirTag is ”designed to keep going for more than a year on a standard battery you can easily replace.”

When is Black Friday 2024?

Black Friday lands on November 29 this year.

As always, Black Friday takes place after the US Thanksgiving celebrations and marks the start of a busy spending period leading up to Christmas.

Black Friday was once an American-only event, but it’s now just as big here in the UK, with tens of thousands of brands and shops taking part.

Is Apple taking part in Black Friday this year?

Not directly, as Apple doesn’t traditionally do Black Friday sales in-store or online.

However, the brand has previously offered a voucher scheme that spans Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

But shoppers needn’t worry as plenty of other retailers such as Amazon, Currys, John Lewis, and Very, will be slashing their prices on Apple products.

Just make sure you shop around to find the best deal for you.

In 2024, Cyber Monday falls on December 2.

Now, there’s not a big difference between the two events, and most retailers continue sales over the entire Black Friday weekend.

How much does Apple delivery cost?

Standard shipping is free on all online orders placed via Apple.

Apple offers a selection of speedier delivery methods at the checkout for an additional fee.

Of course, if you’re shopping for discounts, they’re not to be found on the Apple website.

Instead, you’ll find Apple discounts at the major retail department stores and the likes of Amazon and Currys.

So you’re best bet is to check the delivery costs and time scales with your chosen retailer.
