Holiday shoppers can score a 512GB iPad Pro $450 off, alongside a 24GB M5 MacBook Pro $200 off, as part of ongoing post-Black Friday promotions extending into early December. These discounts build on earlier Black Friday Week deals that included an M5 MacBook Pro $200 off, signaling sustained savings on Apple gear amid Best Buy 3-day holiday Doorbusters that are pushing prices even lower on select hardware.
iPad Pro Discounts Escalate Post-Black Friday
The most aggressive tablet savings so far arrive with an iPad Pro $599 off as part of the current Best Buy 3-day holiday Doorbusters, a promotion highlighted in this week’s top deals on Best Buy 3-day holiday Doorbusters, iPad Pro $599 off, more. Earlier in the month, shoppers were already seeing a 512GB iPad Pro $450 off, but the new $599 discount marks a clear escalation in price cuts as retailers pivot from Black Friday traffic to late-season holiday demand. For buyers weighing capacity and performance, the difference between $450 and $599 off can be the deciding factor that moves a high-end iPad Pro from wish list to checkout, especially for those looking to replace a laptop with a tablet-first workflow.
The earlier 512GB iPad Pro $450 off, detailed in the broader roundup of deals: 512GB iPad Pro $450 off, 24GB M5 MacBook Pro $200 off, Apple Watch Ultra bands, more, already undercut typical sale pricing on Apple’s premium tablet line. With Best Buy now layering on a deeper iPad Pro $599 off promotion, the pattern is clear: retailers are using the weeks after Black Friday to clear higher-capacity configurations that appeal to power users, creative professionals, and students who need ample local storage for 4K video projects, Procreate canvases, or large offline media libraries. For consumers, the stakes are timing and inventory, since 3-day doorbuster windows tend to favor those who can act quickly before popular color and storage combinations sell through.
M5 MacBook Pro Savings Hold Steady
While iPad Pro discounts have intensified, MacBook pricing is holding a steady line, with the M5 MacBook Pro $200 off emerging as a consistent theme from Black Friday Week into December. The initial wave of notebook promotions, captured in the rundown of Black Friday Week deals: AirPods 4 $69, M5 MacBook Pro $200 off, Apple Watch Series 11, Apple iPhone cases 50% off, more, set expectations that Apple’s latest pro laptops would see meaningful but not extreme markdowns. That same $200 figure now applies to a higher-spec 24GB M5 MacBook Pro configuration, as outlined in the December update on deals: 512GB iPad Pro $450 off, 24GB M5 MacBook Pro $200 off, Apple Watch Ultra bands, more, signaling that retailers are prioritizing stability and predictability for shoppers who want the newest silicon without waiting for clearance-level pricing.
Additional mentions of the M5 MacBook Pro in late November coverage of Black Friday: Apple Watch Ultra 3, M5 MacBook Pro, MacBook Air reinforce that the $200 discount has become a baseline rather than a fleeting flash sale. For buyers eyeing high-spec variants like the 24GB configuration, that consistency matters, because it reduces the pressure to buy on a specific day while still delivering a tangible savings on machines aimed at developers, video editors, and other intensive users. The broader trend is that Apple’s flagship laptops are being positioned as long-term investments with modest but reliable discounts, rather than products that swing wildly in price from one weekend to the next.
Apple Watch Deals Expand to Bands and Models
Apple Watch promotions are evolving from straightforward hardware discounts into a more layered ecosystem of savings that now includes accessories. The December roundup of deals: 512GB iPad Pro $450 off, 24GB M5 MacBook Pro $200 off, Apple Watch Ultra bands, more spotlights Apple Watch Ultra bands as a fresh category of markdowns, giving existing owners a lower-cost way to refresh the look and feel of their devices. For shoppers who already locked in an Apple Watch Ultra earlier in the season, discounted bands effectively extend the value of that original purchase, allowing them to tailor the watch to different activities, from trail running to office wear, without paying full price for each additional strap.
Those accessory deals sit alongside earlier Apple Watch Ultra 3 promotions that appeared in the coverage of Black Friday: Apple Watch Ultra 3, M5 MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, as well as Apple Watch Series 11 offers that were part of the Black Friday Week lineup in the overview of Black Friday Week deals: AirPods 4 $69, M5 MacBook Pro $200 off, Apple Watch Series 11, Apple iPhone cases 50% off, more. That progression, from core model discounts on Apple Watch Ultra 3 and Apple Watch Series 11 to targeted savings on Apple Watch Ultra bands, reflects a broader strategy to keep the wearable category in the spotlight even after the initial rush of hardware sales. For consumers, it means that the best time to personalize a new watch with extra bands may actually come after the main Black Friday window, when retailers pivot to accessories to maintain momentum.
Broader Accessory and Mac Offers Round Out Holiday Savings
Beyond headline deals on iPad Pro and M5 MacBook Pro, a cluster of accessory and Mac offers continues to shape the overall value proposition for Apple buyers this season. One of the standout examples is AirPods 4 $69, a price point that was singled out in the rundown of Black Friday Week deals: AirPods 4 $69, M5 MacBook Pro $200 off, Apple Watch Series 11, Apple iPhone cases 50% off, more and remains a reference point for what counts as a strong discount on Apple’s latest earbuds. Even without fresh markdowns in December, that figure continues to influence shopper expectations, encouraging buyers to benchmark current AirPods 4 offers against the $69 threshold before committing to a purchase.
The same Black Friday Week coverage also highlighted Apple iPhone cases 50% off, a level of accessory savings that has not seen notable escalation but still represents a meaningful way to lower the total cost of upgrading or gifting a new phone. In parallel, MacBook Air inclusions in the late November overview of Black Friday: Apple Watch Ultra 3, M5 MacBook Pro, MacBook Air show that Apple’s lighter notebook line is sharing the stage with the M5 MacBook Pro, even if its discounts have not intensified in the same way as the latest iPad Pro offers. For shoppers assembling a full Apple setup, from Mac to iPhone to audio and watch accessories, these steady but unspectacular deals on cases, AirPods 4, and MacBook Air help round out the ecosystem at lower entry points, making it easier to justify a big-ticket purchase like a 24GB M5 MacBook Pro or a 512GB iPad Pro when the supporting gear is also on sale.
