3 Apple Black Friday deals we’ve found that beat the brand’s own prices
Samsung Galaxy fans grab £319 freebie thanks to Sky Black Friday deal
Along with a Mini-LED TV that offers outstanding value, a top-rated robot vacuum and mop, a Samsung tablet with unbeatable value and a great SIM-only deal for savers. Imagine waking up on Christmas morning to find that the kitchen was swept and mopped, sparkling before all the guests arrive and saving cleaning time so the family can focus on festivities.
The Lefant M3 Max is a robot vacuum cleaner and mop with a docking station, offering great value for money with a 15% discount. That cuts £57 off the price so it’s £322.99 on Amazon, while carrying a 4.5-star rating from over 900 customer reviews.

The Lefant M3 Max will vacuum and mop floors with a docking station that empties the bin and cleans the mop pads. It also offers Alexa control.
The Lefant M3 Max offers loads of functions, including a docking station that will clean the mop and empty the bin, making cleaning a breeze. The docking station means that it should be able to run for a couple of months before the bin needs emptying.
The Lefant M3 Max offers voice control – compatible with Alexa – with control through the app, and even has an anti-tangle beater bar.
If the Lefant M3 Max looks like it’s more than needed, then the standard Lefant M3 is slightly lower power, with the advantage of coming in under £300. With a 15% discount, it’s £294 on Amazon. Lefant has positive reviews on Amazon, with customers praising the cleaning performance thanks to strong suction.
One said: “The suction is fantastic for its size.” However, one shopper did note that ‘it doesn’t map the room’ like rival products. Shoppers looking for something simpler might prefer the Roborock Q10 S5, which doesn’t have a docking station so needs regular attention to empty the bin and clean the mop pad, but there’s a 40% discount so it’s now £179.99 on Amazon.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 – £79.99 (was £149)
Samsung is known for its tablets, and the Galaxy Tab A9 is a couple of years old, but it is a hot favourite with shoppers. Originally priced at £149, there’s a 46% discount, so it’s now £79.99 on Amazon.
This tablet has a premium metal design with an 8.7-inch display, running Android, but with Samsung’s familiar interface. It’s a great device for casual gaming, browsing on a larger screen than a phone or shopping through apps.
It also has a pair of cameras, ideal for video calling, while it’s compact enough to be thrown in a bag as a travel companion.
Alternatively, Amazon’s Fire Tablets are reduced, with the Amazon Fire HD 10 now also £79.99 (was £149.99). It has a larger display than the Samsung, but with a plastic build, and apps come from the Amazon App Store, rather than Google Play.
Apple AirPods Pro 2 – £169 (was £199)
iPhone owners will find that the AirPods offer a seamless experience, really getting the most out of the features that Apple offers. The AirPods Pro 2 have been around for a couple of years – and now updated with AirPods Pro 3 – but that explains the £30 reduction on these headphones to drop them to £169 on Amazon.
That’s the cheapest that AirPods Pro 2 have been, but these are still fully functioning headphones, offering great sound quality, excellent noise cancellation, as well as spatial audio and even a hearing aid function.
While AirPods Pro 2 are designed to work with the iPhone, they are also compatible with Android phones, although not all the features are supported. Android phone owners might prefer the discounted Nothing Ear (a), which have a cool transparent design and offers surprisingly good performance. They are 34% off, so now £58.99 on Amazon.
Voxi 75GB data with socials – £12 a month
Voxi runs on the Vodafone network but offers much cheaper prices. It’s known for being a social mobile network, because data to certain social media apps is free. That makes this a tasty deal for those looking to save on the mobile phone bill, with triple data in this deal.
This SIM-only plan has 75GB data for the price of 25GB and at £12 a month, it’s a hot deal. That means plenty of data for streaming – while YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, Spotify and many more (21 apps in total) won’t count against the data allowance.
For those snapping and sharing or streaming on the move, it’s a great deal in the Voxi Black Friday sale.
TCL C6KS Mini-LED TV – £349 (was £379)
This TCL TV at Argos stands out because it’s one of the cheapest Mini-LED TVs available – without compromising on quality. It’s a 50-inch model, which helps keep the price down, but it offers great colours and vibrancy with plenty of brightness thanks to that Mini-LED tech.
Best of all, the £349 price is the lowest it’s been on Argos, so shoppers can stream Dolby Vision content while enjoying the smart Google TV interface. It has a 4K resolution, so it’s packed full of detail, while also supporting Dolby Atmos. Those speakers would benefit from a soundbar, however, to make them sound better.
While gaming features are supported, it’s only a 60Hz screen, so it’s not the best for modern console gamers who want the best experience. Instead, this is a TV that’s all about picture quality and the control that Mini-LED offers.
Eufy E340 dual camera video doorbell – £74.99 (was £159.99)
Eufy has come a long way and this dual camera doorbell with 53% discount on Amazon is an example of why the brand is now popular. Normally priced at £159.99, the discount brings it down to £74.99 – but it offers a subscription-free service, which is why it is interesting.
It’s more expensive than a Ring Video doorbell, but there’s no ongoing cost, so once shoppers have bought the doorbell, that’s it, no more payments. Video can be stored locally, while the Eufy camera is packed full of clever tech.
It has AI that will recognise people or packages, while the two cameras mean there’s a camera looking down at the doorstep to keep an eye on any deliveries. It offers a detailed 2K resolution, colour night vision and two-way audio – as well as offering battery or wired connections.
