The deals are flying today for Thanksgiving as we quickly approach Black Friday proper early tomorrow morning, but we are stepping in this afternoon to uncover the day’s best deals on Android games and apps. Alongside now live Samsung Black Friday sale, Google’s 2024 holiday event, and more, we have also spotted even lower prices on the Pixel 9 Pro XL as well as the best price yet on Samsung’s S24 FE smartphone from $450, and an over $215 price drop on the flagship Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra. Just be sure to swing by our master roundup for all of the most notable price drops across all product categories before you head below for today’s best app deals, including titles like Three Kingdoms Last Warlord, Little Big Workshop, Riptide GP: Renegade, Cyberlords – Arcology, Anodyne, Tokaido, and more. Head below for a closer look at everything. 

While the official Google Black Friday sale got off to an early start this year only to see Amazon and Best Buy get aggressive with even deeper deals, the Pixel 9 Pro XL has now dropped again. Google advertised and subsequently launched a $150 price drop on this model, then Best Buy offered it for $200 off, and now Amazon has it starting down at $849 shipped – Best Buy has since priced matched on this model as well. Regularly $1,099, this is a straight $250 price drop to deliver a new Amazon all-time low and the lowest we have tracked to date on Google’s latest XL-sized handset. 

As part of its Black Friday Week Deals, Amazon has now dropped its multi-platform Luna Wireless Gaming Controller back down to the $39.99 shipped low. Regularly $70, you’re looking at a 43% price drop to match the lowest price we have ever tracked on Amazon. There have been a few refurbished offers at retailers like Woot for less, but today’s deal is on par with the lowest we have tracked on new units directly from Amazon – this is the same price we saw for both Prime Day events this year. 

We are giving folks a heads up a notable opportunity to land some FREE Amazon credit starting this week as part of an upcoming Apple gift card promotion. As you might have already seen, Best Buy and Target are already offering FREE $15 credits with the purchase of $100 Apple gift cards as part of their respite Black Friday sale events. We assumed/hoped this would also carry over to Amazon ahead of Thanksgiving this year, and while that doesn’t appear as though it will happen, reports suggest the Amazon Apple gift card promotion is indeed on the way this week. 

If you’re wondering which stores are open on Thanksgiving this year, we have now compiled a list for you below. While everything will, of course, be open come Black Friday and online deals don’t stop just because brick and mortar storefronts are closed for the 2024 Thanksgiving holiday, this list might help to better plan out any last minute pickups and errands you might need to run for your dinner and get together plans. Head below for a look at which of the major brick and mortar retail locations are closed for Thanksgiving this year. 

After taking a look at some great essentials starting from $7 that anyone can appreciate as a gift this year, today we are zeroing-in on the Apple lovers. Whether the lucky someone on your list has every piece of Apple kit Cupertino makes, or perhaps just an iPhone, or even just an Apple Watch, there’s something for any Apple fan on our list this year. Head below to scope out the the best gifts for Apple fans we would love to see under our trees.

Just after spotting the first price drops on the brand new 4-Series models, we have now spotted all-time low pricing on Amazon’s all-new Fire TV Omni mini-LED Series smart TVs. Available in 55-, 65-, 75-, and 85-inch models, the brand new flagship releases sit atop the lineup of Amazon displays to deliver higher-end specs and new mini-LED panels, and now with hundreds in savings as part of its Black Friday Week Deals. All of the details await below. 

Outside of the now live Walmart Black Friday sale, it is now offering the 2024 Apple Pencil Pro down at $99 shipped. Regularly $129, this is the lowest price we can find on Apple’s latest, greatest, and flagship iPad writer. The Apple Pencil Pro has been oddly out of stock at Amazon for the last month or so, seldomly available at all and even when it is, at well above the price we are tracking here today. This deal also joins some Black Friday Week deals on the Apple Pencil USB-C and Apple Pencil 2 for folks rocking previous-generation iPads as well. Scope them out below. 

As part of its Black Friday Week Deals, the official Pebblebee Amazon storefront is now offering the best price to date on its new Clip Universal rechargeable mini item tracker at $22.04. Be sure to clip the on-page coupon. Shipping is free for Prime members or in orders over $35. Regularly $35, this is over 40% off the going rate and the lowest price we have tracked to date, coming in at nearly $10 below our previous mention. Head below for a closer look at the details and more Black Friday Week price drops on the brand’s Universal lineup. 

As part of its Black Friday Week Deals, Amazon is now offering the Sony WF-1000XM5 Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds down at $228 shipped. Regularly $300, this is nearly 25% off and the lowest price we can find. You will also find these popular in-ears marked down over at Best Buy as part of its Black Friday event at $230 shipped. Both retailers are offering all three colors down at the respective discounted prices to deliver a price on par with this year’s Prime day deal. While we have seen a couple very short-lived and fleeting offers for a few bucks less at Amazon, seeing the XM5 buds down at under $230 is a notable price and on par with just about all of the best deals we have spotted this year otherwise. 

Best Buy is now once again serving up a sneak peek at its next Black Friday Doorbusters set to go live later this week, and it’s another notable batch folks. We will take a look at all of the previous doorbuster deals that are still live in its Black Friday sale, as well as take a sneak peek at the eight new Black Friday Doorbusters on tap for later this week down below. 

We wait all year for the official Nintendo Black Friday deals and today is the day they go live. While we already saw the eShop Black Friday sale drop alongside a host of big deals on physical games, today we are getting the best price of the year on the Nintendo Switch OLED console as retailers like Best Buy, Target, and potentially Amazon deliver a sizable price drop on the official holiday bundle. These deals are now live at Best Buy and Target, with price matches expected to hit Amazon and Walmart at either some point today or later this week. 

We have featured a number of notable exclusive deals on the wonderful Burton Goods leather Apple Watch bands, but it’s Black Friday season and today we have a massive 40% off everything for 9to5 readers.

Both Amazon and Best Buy have launched wide ranging sales on physical titles to join the annual PlayStation Store digital sale that features over 1,400 games and DLC packs at up to 70% off.

Amazon is now offering the white Sonos Ace Active Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones for $349 shipped. Regularly $449, this is a straight up $100 price drop and the lowest price we can find.

While we got a sort of false start yesterday with a pair of Square Enix and Konami publisher sales, the full-on official Nintendo eShop Black Friday sale has finally now emerged. Expanding well beyond the pair of third-party publisher deals we spotted yesterday, the official Nintendo eShop Black Friday sale is loaded with first-party titles from Mario and Zelda through to Yoshi, Toad, and a whole lot more.

While we are still a few days away from the start of Amazon’s official Black Friday Week Sale, it tends to start the deals on its in-house gear early and we just spotted some fresh new Blink smart home offers. Amazon’s Blink brand delivers some of the more affordable gear in the smart home space and some of its just got a whole lot lower. The latest Blink Video Doorbell, for example, is now down at just $29.99 with free shipping for Prime members or in orders over $35. That’s a straight up 50% price drop from the regular $60 list price and the lowest we can find. 

As we have already been extensively reporting on this year, Best Buy has decided to run a series of major early Black Friday events leading right up to the main event all month-long. Alongside the “Black Friday Deals Right Now” sale that is loaded with price drops on headphones, small kitchen appliances, action cameras, Apple gear, Chromebooks, gaming controllers, smart home products, and more, Best Buy is launching a batch of Black Friday Doorbusters every week and has now once again served up a look at what is going to be on tap for this week. 

The Target Day 17 early Black Friday Deals of the Day are now up for the taking.

But for now we are focused on the daily offers alongside a notable LEGO sale featuring Disney, City, and Marvel kits, among others. Head below for a closer look at the Target Day 17 early Black Friday Deals of the Day. 

Another popular item set to go on sale for Black Friday very soon is the new AirPods 4. While actual upcoming prices on Apple’s latest AirPods releases have been mostly vague at this point in the Black Friday 2024 ads we have been tracking, we have spotted a deal on the horizon you will at least want to have on your radar if you’re looking to pick up Apple’s most affordable 2024 AirPods release. While we are expecting deals to hit AirPods 4 at just about all major retailers, Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart included, as of right now an advertised deal at Staples is setting the benchmark for this year’s best Black Friday price. 

With so many retailers and brands kicking things off so early for the biggest shopping season of the year, we are touching down today with the best early Black Friday deals to shop right now. Best Buy has launched early doorbusters this week, we are tracking the best prices of all-time on Amazon’s popular 4K streaming sticks, we have MacBooks at up to $550 off, and the list goes on. Add in a massive $1,200 price drop on Samsung’s epic 55-inch 4K Odyssey gaming monitor, an all-time low on the latest GoPro, hundreds in savings on some of the best e-bikes in the game, and new lows on Anker power stations, and you’re looking at one of the best slates of early deals we have seen in recent memory. Head below to scope out our favorite early Black Friday deals you can score right now. 

One of the hottest items on tap for Black Friday 2024 is the new Apple Watch Series 10 that just released back in September. Walmart got off to the races this year in its early Black Friday sale that went live last week (and is still live) with the lowest prices we have tracked to date across the lineup just before Amazon decided to get in on the action and match all of those deals while also offering new all-time low pricing on the GPS + Cell models as well as the higher-end Titanium variants. However, in our continued effort to uncover the best possible prices on everything, it now looks there is another deal on the horizon for Apple’s Series 10 wearable that undercuts both of them. 

Journey is debuting its new MOTION Apple Find My Key Organizer today, and with a sweet launch deal. There are a few things that, in my opinion, should always have some kind of tracking built-in – my passport wallet, my regular wallet, and my keys. There are others, like smartphones and other pricey tech, but most of them already have that in place. Journey is expanding its Apple Find My-equipped LOC8 family of products, which consists of wallets, finder cards, and more, with its all-new MOTION Key Organizer to complete the trifecta today, and I’m all the way here for it. Now available for purchase with an automatic 20% discount at checkout, you can get a closer look and scope out the details below. 

Anyone looking to score a new Nintendo Switch this holiday season is going to want to take note of this upcoming Black Friday deal. Nintendo has already unleashed the details on its official upcoming Black Friday sale, including prices on Switch games, select hardware, and more, but there is an upcoming deal on the OLED Switch Mario Kart holiday bundle that needs to be on your radar. While there will be several retailers, from Best Buy and Amazon to Walmart, and more, serving up deals on Switch consoles over the next two weeks, at this point Target has them all beat with as much as $155 in savings on the way. 

Update: The phase 2 Disney Store Black Friday sale is now live at up to 30% off.

The official Disney Store Black Friday starts early and is now live. Loaded with official apparel for the whole family, official holiday ornaments, toys, Star Wars gear, and a massive range of home goods, there are some serious deals now flying in the Magic Kingdom. Every year around this time the official Disney Store is loaded with big-time deals and you can now score an extra 20% off already marked down products using code MAGIC at checkout. Scope out the details of the Disney Black Friday sale down below. 

In our continued effort to uncover all of the upcoming Black Friday deals across the country, we now have a look at the 48-page official 2024 Meijer Black Friday ad. While the retailer might not be the go-to online shopping source for everyone, it does have a strong presence across the mid-west and elsewhere with nearly 250 brick and mortar locations and there are going to hundreds of big-time price drops going live for Black Friday this year. Head below for more details on Meijer Thanksgiving and Black Friday store hours as well as a look at this year official Black Friday ad. 

Alongside a host of price drops on Switch games, Woot has now added Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 for PS5 to its ongoing game sale. Regularly $70, you can now land this one down at $49.99 Prime shipped (a $6 delivery fee will apply otherwise). Currently up at $66 on Amazon via third-party sellers, this brilliant webslinging experience has held strong in and around its $70 MSRP with a few occasional drops down to the $50 we are featuring here today. It has never fallen below $50 at Amazon and is still up at the full $70 via Best Buy. You’re looking at the latest entry to Insomniac’s fantastic Spider-Man series featuring both Peter Parker and Miles Morales “as the iconic villain Venom threatens to destroy their lives, their city, and the ones they love.” Players can quickly switch between both characters on the fly as you swing through “an expanded Marvel’s New York” and makes use of “Peter’s new symbiote abilities and Miles’ explosive bio-electric venom powers.” It is also one of the games on Sony’s list of titles that are already enhanced for folks who grabbed the new PS5 Pro as well. 

While Staples already issued an official press release for its upcoming Black Friday sale, we now have our hands-on the entire 15-page official 2024 Staples Black Friday ad. Again we have already featured some of these upcoming deals previously as well as the November 17 start time, but you can now browse through the entire official Black Friday ad for a closer look at everything that will be on sale down below. 

As part of its now live early access Black Friday sale, Samsung is offering a few sizable price drops on its 2024 model Smart Monitor lineup. One that really caught our eye was this equally as sizable 43-inch Smart Monitor M7 (M70D) down at $349.99 shipped. This model regularly fetches $500, much like it is at Amazon right now, and is now seeing a nice $150 price drop. This deal undercuts the previous Amazon price drop by $20 and matches the lowest we have ever tracked there since its debut this past summer. 

Amazon unleashed the details on its Black Friday sale this morning and now it’s ready to give up to goods for the 2024 Amazon Cyber Monday sale. Not only is Amazon’s official Black Friday Week deals starting off well ahead of Thanksgiving this year, but it will also be getting a head start on Cyber Monday – as in the exact second Black Friday ends. Head below for a closer look at when the Amazon Cyber Monday sale starts and we have some early details and prices on the actual deals here today. 

Update: While we had a false start due to some technical difficulties, the next run of the limited edition Arc Titanium Tungsten Onyx Black iPhone 16 Bumper Cases are now live.

The Arc Pulse Bumper iPhone 16 cases have easily been among the most popular options with 9to5 readers this year. The unique bumper-style “cases” are really more like a pair of metal end pieces than snap onto either end of your device to provide corner, display, and camera array protection in style without covering up Apple’s wonderful iPhone 16 design. While you can still use our exclusive code to score a deal on the standard issue metal models (use code 9TO510 at checkout) in various colorways, Arc Pulse has informed us that it’s high-end special edition model for iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will finally be back in stock start at 5 a.m. ET/11 a.m. CET today (in 30 minutes from the time of writing) – this model sold out completely and very quickly at launch, so don’t sleep on this chance to score one if you’re interested as there’s no telling how long it will last and if it will come back in stock again down the line.
