I’m tracking Black Friday offers on our tried and tested products
I’ve found early discounts on top brands such as Zara, Lego, Apple and more
There’s just three more sleeps until Black Friday 2025 officially kicks off – but big discounts are already dropping from hundreds of UK retailers and brands. Amazon’s Black Friday week is a go, Currys, John Lewis and Argos have all launched early savings, and Charlotte Tilbury, Nintendo, Dyson and Ninja have fired the starting gun.
As The Independent’s senior tech critic, I’ve been covering Black Friday for a decade, so I know what’s worth your money and which products you can happily scroll past. The discounts worth your attention are always the ones on kit that will actually last you years. Standouts so far include the AirPods Pro 2 at their lowest price of the year, £50 off my favourite Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones, a rare saving on the Nintendo Switch 2 console at Argos, £80 off our top-rated Duux bora dehumidifier at Amazon, and a huge saving on Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk gift set, which works out far cheaper than buying the products individually.
Before you get carried away, make a quick list of what you actually need – it makes doing your research a lot easier. Our guides only included tried and tested products that you can trust, while our consumer team also has practical advice on getting value out of the sales. So, without further ado, grab a cuppa, sit back and have a nice scroll – let’s go hunting for deals.
Save £100 on this IndyBest-approved dehumidifier Black Friday deal
If you’ve been waiting for a dehumidifier deal this Black Friday, Amazon has just knocked £100 off the Duux bora smart 30l, which was crowned the best in household appliances writer Joanne Lewsley’s round-up.
Duux bora smart 30l dehumidifier: Was £349.99, now £249.99, Amazon.co.uk
It took her humidity from the high seventies down to 50 per cent in a few hours, thanks to its powerful extraction, 4l tank and handy app controls. It also has a built-in carbon filter to help reduce odours, which you don’t often see at this price. It’s now £249.99, which is the lowest I’ve seen it drop to this year.
Still too expensive? Molly’s found a Russell Hobbs one for just £68 – you can read more in her article below.

New Balance’s 1906R almost never fall below the £140 mark, so this discount at Schuh is nothing to sniff at.

Here's the only way to get a discount on the iPhone 17 Pro this Black Friday
Are you a Costco member? Lucky you – you’re one of the select few who can actually save money on the all-new iPhone 17 Pro this Black Friday.
iPhone 17 Pro, 256GB: Was £1,099, now £1,074.99, Costco.co.uk
While most retailers are selling the 256GB model at its full £1,099 RRP, Costco has slashed the price to £1,074.99. It’s not a huge discount, but it is one of the only price cuts I’ve seen on Apple’s latest flagship.
Get 12 months of Disney+ for just 10 this Black Friday
Technically not a Black Friday deal, but a deal nonetheless. Disney+ has an offer running where you can get 12 months for the price of 10 when you pay annually. It applies to both the premium tier (usually £14.99 a month) as well as the standard tier (usually £9.99 a month), bringing the yearly price down to £149.90 or £99.90 respectively.
It works out cheaper than paying monthly, and you still get ad-free streaming, downloads and up to 4K HDR on the premium plan.
British Airways Black Friday deals have finally landed
At last, British Airways has finally gone live with its Black Friday deals. You can save on long-haul trips to the US, Canada and Mexico, with return fares to New York from £414, Miami from £421 and Los Angeles or San Francisco from £462.
BA’s European city breaks are also included, with packages to Barcelona, Prague, Nice and Stockholm starting from £159 per person in January.
Is the Apple iPhone 17 on sale for Black Friday?
Not yet – but our tech critics aren’t saying it’s outside the realm of possibility, so watch this space. In the meantime, don’t miss this saving on the Apple iPhone 16e.
Apple iPhone 16e, 128GB: Was £544, now £499, Amazon.co.uk
The successor to the iPhone SE, the iPhone 16e has just been slashed in price by £35 at Amazon. Released earlier this year, “Apple’s all-new budget phone is better than the iPhone SE in every way”, said tech critic David Phelan in his iPhone 16e review. “It's not an upgraded iPhone SE, but an awful lot more, from more storage to a bigger display,” he said.
Almost all Apple tech is reduced for Black Friday, and I’ve found the best deals

Get a whiff of this Ninja Black Friday air fryer deal
If you’re tight on counter space, this is the compact air fryer I use (literally) every day.
Ninja crispi portable air fryer: Was £149.99, now, £117, Amazon.co.uk
The crispi comes with two glass bowls that nest together and a detachable heating lid (the PowerPod), so it takes up far less room than the usual bulky drawer models. In my review, I said it’s “so utterly versatile – you’re not locked in to a single bulky unit, and it’s nice having two different containers to cook from.” It cooks fast, everything comes out crisp, and it’s now down to its lowest-ever price.
