Walmart previously announced that its first set of Black Friday deals would arrive on November 7, but it’s already jumped the gun with a number of eye-catching pre-event offers. There are some excellent bargains here, including the cheapest prices yet for an iPad Air and Apple Watch SE.
Let’s start with the iPad Air that’s now down to $349 (was $469) at Walmart (opens in new tab). This offer is for the previous 4th generation model that was originally released in 2020, but it’s still a powerful tablet by today’s standards. And today’s offer is particularly strong as it’s the lowest price we’ve ever seen.
The iPad Air (4th Gen) comes with a crisp 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, 64GB of storage and Apple’s powerful A14 Bionic chip that offers excellent performance across general everyday tasks, gaming, and more advanced creative work such as photo and video editing.
And then there’s the Apple Watch SE for $199 (was $309) (opens in new tab). Again, this offer is on a last-generation model, but that means you can bag a considerable $110 discount on the usual price. This matches the lowest price we’ve seen for the smartwatch.
Still, the Apple Watch SE is a bargain when you consider it still comes with all the important health and fitness features you’d need on a smartwatch as a general user. These include heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking, GPS and cellular connectivity. It also looks very similar to the more premium Apple Watch models, albeit with a smaller 40mm display.
