Top Tech: Apple shoppers snap up early Black Friday deals on iPhones, iPads and MacBooks

MusicMagpie is offering discounts on Apple tech as the Black Friday 2025 sales get underway

Apple shoppers can secure big discounts on iPhones, iPads and MacBooks as one retailer launches an early Black Friday sale. The deals come from musicMagpie, which has just unveiled a batch of discounts on Apple devices.

With savvy shoppers counting down the days to this year’s Black Friday sales, the retailer is offering 10% off a range of refurbished devices with the discount code PREVIEW. One standout deal is on the iPhone 16e, the budget-friendly edition of the standard iPhone 16 that launched earlier this year.

Reduced from £479.99 to £431.99, this unlocked iPhone is listed in ‘pristine’ condition, with musicMagpie assuring it has been fully tested and is in excellent working order. The deal is £87.01 cheaper than Amazon, which offers the same model for £519.

It comes as Sky Mobile recently reduced the iPhone 16e to its cheapest price ever of £17 when spreading the cost, so shoppers may want to consider signing up for Sky’s 36-month contract to secure a brand-new device. For those happy to shop refurbished, keep in mind that the price for each refurbished device bought through musicMagpie depends on its condition, which ranges from ‘good’ to ‘pristine’.

Regardless of their cosmetic condition, the retailer states that all its Apple products are thoroughly tested and refurbished by its team of experts. Another eye-catching deal is on the iPad Air 4, reduced from £324.99 to £292.49.

Released in 2020, this WiFi-only tablet features a 10.9” Liquid Retina display, a 12MP camera, is powered by Apple’s A14 Bionic chip, and also comes in ‘pristine’ condition. However, shoppers wanting to cut costs further can pick up the same model from Wowcher for £245, but this option is in ‘good’ condition, so it will show signs of wear and tear.

One of the biggest discounts we’ve seen at musicMagpie is on the 13” MacBook Air M3, which only launched last year. This powerful Apple laptop boasts 256GB of storage, a 1080p HD camera and is just more than 11mm thin.

This model has dropped £50, from £789.99 to £739.99, while this year’s model, the 13” MacBook Air M4, comes in at a far pricier £899.97 from Amazon. Other key deals in musicMagpie’s early Black Friday sale include the Apple Watch Series 10 for £350.99 (was £389.99), PS5 Disc Edition £395.99 (was £439.99) and Nintendo Switch OLED White for £206.99 (was £229.99).

MusicMagpie has racked up thousands of positive reviews from shoppers on Trustpilot, where it holds a 4.4-star rating. One happy customer said: “I have used musicMagpie for many years and the whole experience has always been simple and straightforward, incredibly quick and always fair.”

Another said: “Perfect as usual. I can always rely on musicMagpie to deliver the goods in excellent condition.” However, despite their five-star review, the same buyer added: “They do need to get the delivery service faster.”

While this five-star review said: “The website for musicMagpie was so helpful and explained everything I needed to think about before purchasing a refurbished phone. The phone then arrived promptly and well packaged.”
