Best Buy is also running a major early sale.\n\nThe official Amazon event begins November 19 and runs through Cyber Monday on November 30. New deals drop at midnight and 8 a.m. Pacific Time during both events.\n\nThe category-level offers vary widely. Smart home devices go up to 65% off, toys up to 40%, TVs with Alexa up to 35%, and home and kitchen products up to 30%. Amazon also lists price ceilings: essentials under $25, gifts under $100, fall decor under $100 and holiday decor under $50.\n\nThe individual listings show where the money is. The 65-inch Hisense Mini-LED 4K Fire TV is $547.99, down from $999.99, a $452 cut that works out to about 45%. That is the steepest TV discount listed. The 65-inch Samsung The Frame (2025) is $1,097.99, down from $1,497.99, and the 75-inch TCL QLED drops only from $1,297.99 to $1,197.99. The Anker SOLIX C2000 portable power station falls $549, to $949.99. The Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones are $378, down from $459.99.\n\nApple discounts are gentler. By our math, the iPad ($399.99, $49 off), AirPods Pro 3 ($199, $50 off), AirPods Max 2 ($449.99, $99 off), Apple Watch Ultra 4 ($699.99, $99 off), M6 Mac mini ($779, $120 off) and M5 13-inch MacBook Air ($1,349.99, $249 off) all land between roughly 11% and 21% off. The listing's biggest percentage cut is a book, Apple: The First 50 Years, at $26 instead of $50.\n\nSo the pattern is that TVs and power gear carry the deep cuts, while Apple hardware gets a modest trim. The listing does not say whether the November 19 event will go further on the same items.","[\"black-friday\",\"amazon\",\"deals\",\"apple\"]","2026-11-10T15:14:15.000Z","2026-11-10T15:39:47.999Z","2026-11-10T15:39:48.158Z","published",null,[24,30],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"The 'roughly 11% to 21%' Apple range in the dek and body is wrong: the source's own list has HomeView at $9 off $298.99 (about 3%) and the Apple book at $26 from $50 (48%), so the range only fits some of the items; also drop the unsupported 'as of November 10' date, and soften the headline ('favor TVs') since the body shows a TCL TV at only 8%.","resolved",{"id":31,"reviewer":26,"round":32,"reason":33,"status":29},"editor-r2",2,"The dek says the top discount is '45% off a Hisense TV' while the headline and lede say the range tops out at 48% (the Apple book), so make them consistent (or say the 45% is the deepest TV cut), and cut the unsupported claim that big percentage cuts come from 'inflated list prices or thin margins', which nothing in the source backs up.","deals",[36,37,34,38],"black-friday","amazon","apple",[40],{"name":41,"url":42},"MacRumors","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.macrumors.com\u002F2026\u002F11\u002F10\u002Famazon-early-black-friday\u002F",0,{"sections":45},[46,51,56,60,65,70,75,80,85,90,95,100,105,110],{"name":47,"slug":48,"count":49,"latest_published_at":50},"AI","ai",7144,"2026-11-12T13:27:45.000Z",{"name":52,"slug":53,"count":54,"latest_published_at":55},"Security","security",1128,"2026-11-11T18:05:00.000Z",{"name":57,"slug":34,"count":58,"latest_published_at":59},"Deals",642,"2026-11-12T14:00:00.000Z",{"name":61,"slug":62,"count":63,"latest_published_at":64},"Policy","policy",619,"2026-11-12T12:53:36.000Z",{"name":66,"slug":67,"count":68,"latest_published_at":69},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",364,"2026-11-12T11:12:32.000Z",{"name":71,"slug":72,"count":73,"latest_published_at":74},"Hardware","hardware",336,"2026-11-12T11:24:43.000Z",{"name":76,"slug":77,"count":78,"latest_published_at":79},"Science","science",230,"2026-11-12T10:00:00.000Z",{"name":81,"slug":82,"count":83,"latest_published_at":84},"Software","software",168,"2026-11-11T17:36:49.000Z",{"name":86,"slug":87,"count":88,"latest_published_at":89},"Startups","startups",159,"2026-11-11T12:30:00.000Z",{"name":91,"slug":92,"count":93,"latest_published_at":94},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",127,"2026-11-11T19:00:44.000Z",{"name":96,"slug":97,"count":98,"latest_published_at":99},"General","general",118,"2026-11-11T16:49:42.000Z",{"name":101,"slug":102,"count":103,"latest_published_at":104},"Gaming","gaming",107,"2026-11-12T10:09:03.000Z",{"name":106,"slug":107,"count":108,"latest_published_at":109},"Reviews","reviews",38,"2026-10-20T12:00:00.000Z",{"name":111,"slug":112,"count":113,"latest_published_at":114},"How-To","how-to",8,"2026-10-05T09:00:00.000Z"]
