Black Friday mattress deals

Black Friday phone deals
Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max: $0.01 with Boost Mobile unlimited plan @ Amazon
Top-of-the-line iPhones cost a fortune, but the iPhone 16 Pro Max with 1TB of storage will only cost a penny courtesy of Amazon's offer with Boost Mobile. You get the best camera phone around without having to shell out a lot to pick it up.
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra: was $1,299 now $1,199 @ Amazon
The best Android phone we've tested in 2024 is the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, mainly because it packs more feature than any phone out there. Not only do we love how its cameras perform, which are aided by its helpful Galaxy AI features, but it's one of the only phones out there that can replicate the paper meets pen experience with its included S Pen stylus.
Apple iPhone SE (2022): was $429 now $179 @ Best Buy
I will admit that the iPhone SE (2022) is old at this point, but this 3rd generation model is still the cheapest iPhone that Apple still carries. One of the reasons why I love this phone is because it's incredibly compact and it can still deliver outstanding photos with its single main camera.
Price check: $179 @ Walmart
Motorola Razr 2023: was $699 now $349 @ Amazon
The Motorola Razr 2023 was already proof that foldable phones could be affordable, but the year old device is even more tempting at $349. At this price, it competes against some of the best cheap phones around. I also love how you can still pair the tiny external display with the rear cameras for vlogging — which you can't do on a traditional slate phone.
Google Pixel 9: was $799 now $699 @ Best Buy
The base Pixel 9 features a 6.3-inch 1080 x 2424 OLED display, Tensor G4 chipset, 12GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Rear cameras include a 50MP main and 48MP ultrawide, whereas on the front there's a 10.5MP camera. In our Pixel 9 hands-on, we said the new AI features, upgraded cameras, and bigger battery make it the Pixel 9 phone to buy. Note: scroll down and choose the option that says "we'll help you connect this phone to a carrier" to get this deal.
Black Friday laptop deals

MacBook Air 13 (M1/256GB): was $999 now $649 @ Walmart
Lowest price! It's no longer Apple's flagship, but the MacBook Air M1 offers solid performance, especially compared to other laptops at this price. When we reviewed the MacBook Air M1, it never stuttered, thanks to the M1 chip. Perhaps even more impressive is the all-day 14-hour battery life. You also get a 13.3-inch Retina display, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD.
Price check: sold out @ Amazon
MacBook Air 13 (M2/256GB): was $1,099 now $699 @ Amazon
The MacBook Air M2 is one of our most recommended laptops because it's remarkably light and thin yet sports a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, a speedy Apple M2 CPU w/ 8-core GPU, 8GB of RAM, 256GB SSD, and a crisp 1080p FaceTime camera. In our MacBook Air M2 review we lauded this Editor's Choice laptop for its versatility and battery life, so don't miss your chance to get one at a great discount.

For all your workloads on the go, this is an impressive system with over 13 hours of battery life on one charge.
ASUS TUF F15 (RTX 4060): was $1,199 now $999 @ Walmart

The F15 has successfully survived the U.S. military’s demanding MIL-STD-810H force tests, while you also get 90 days of Xbox Game Pass access if you pick up this portable PC.
MSI Katana 15 (RTX 4070): was $1,399 now $1,249 @ Amazon
This may not be the biggest saving, but the Katana 15 is an impressive gaming laptop. Nabbing a RTX 4070-powered machine for less than $1,300 is a good deal and Nvidia’s mobile GPU can tame most of the best PC games with ease. This config also comes with an Intel Core i7-13620H CPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, a 1TB NVMe SSD and a “Cooler Boost 5” system to keep your laptop chill under pressure.
MacBook Pro 14 (M3/16GB/1TB): was $1,999 now $1,699 @ Amazon
If you want more power without spending a fortune, the 14-inch MacBook Pro strikes a solid balance between performance and value.

Lenovo Legion Pro 7i: was $2,799 now $2,099 @ B&H Photo
This Lenovo Legion Pro 7i is an elegant gaming laptop powered by a 14th Gen Intel Core i9 CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 GPU, 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. That's enough power to make even the best PC games look great on the 16-inch 1600p 240Hz display.

To learn more about it, read our Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Oven review.
Black Friday wearables deals
Amazfit Bip 5 was $89 now $74 @ Amazon
Yes, the Amazfit Bip 5 looks like an Apple Watch, but it's not a cheap imitation. Instead, in our Amazfit Bip 5 review, we found that it's one of the top alternatives to Fitbit's now-discontinued smartwatches. The watch face is extremely customizable, the battery can last up to 10 days (significantly more than the Apple Watch's 18 hours), and it effectively tracks your sleep, steps and workouts.
Apple Watch 10: was $399 now $375 @ Amazon
As you'll see in our Apple Watch 10 review, we found this is easily the best smartwatch on the market. This iteration of the Apple Watch sports a lighter, thinner design and brighter display that you can actually see in sunlight. And it comes with watchOS 11, bringing Apple's new sleep apea detection feature in tow.
Garmin Epix 2: was $899 now $499 @ Amazon
This saving on the Garmin Epix 2 reduces the watch to a gob-smacking price.

On top of Garmin's excellent sports tracking and training analysis, the Epix 2 offers useful smarts like music storage and color maps for navigation.
