| The best Apple deals of Black Friday 2020 - Ars Technica Posted: 27 Nov 2020 07:53 AM PST  Enlarge / It's been a busy year for Apple, which means a busy year for deals. Apple tends to be stingier than most this time of year when it comes to deals, typically offering modest price drops and gift card incentives. That's still the case with many devices this year, particularly when it comes to the latest crop of iPhones, but there are still a few eye-catchers worth noting. One example is a new low price on Apple's AirPods Pro, as the wireless noise-cancelling earphones are currently available for $170 at Amazon. That's $80 off Apple's MSRP. Amazon lists the device as "temporarily out of stock" as of this writing, but if you don't mind a wait, you can still lock in a purchase at the discounted price. The standard AirPods, meanwhile, are down to $110, which is $10 off their all-time low. If you prefer something more workout-friendly, select colors of the Beats Powerbeats Pro—another set of true wireless earbuds we've recommended—are down to $160. That's the lowest price we've tracked.Beyond that, B&H and Adorama are offering modest $100 discounts on the latest round of Macs equipped with Apple's own M1 silicon, though again it looks like you'll have to wait a bit for actual shipping details, since the devices currently appear to be backordered. The new Apple Watch Series 6, meanwhile, is down to a new low of $330 in select finishes, while the latest iPad Mini is $5 off its all-time low at $335. We're also seeing a modest $30 price drop on the most recent iPad Air, which we reviewed favorably earlier this month. You can find our full Apple deals roundup below, and we'll be sure to update this post if any new worthwhile offers arise over the course of the day.Note: Ars Technica may earn compensation for sales from links on this post through affiliate programs.

| Shopping Amazon Black Friday deals? 7 Prime benefits you need to use - CNET Posted: 27 Nov 2020 12:15 AM PST  Your Amazon Prime benefits make shopping easier. Angela Lang/CNETBlack Friday is officially here -- that means getting your holiday shopping done (and even a few things for yourself). And this year, Amazon's got tons of deals, from Tile trackers and smartwatches to deals on Echo devices. So if you have a Prime membership, now's a good time to take full advantage of your benefits. While you probably know you can get free two-day shipping as a Prime member, did you know you can also get packages sooner, or schedule a delivery date that's more convenient for you? Or that you can get exclusive deals with Alexa on your Amazon Echo? Amazon isn't the only company with huge Black Friday sales -- Best Buy, Walmart, Target and Home Depot are also having sales events. However, Amazon's enormous catalog, loyal subscriber base and massive shipping empire put it in a position to be extra aggressive in getting your business. Here are all the ways the Prime membership you already have -- and your Amazon Echo -- can help you shop today.

James Martin/CNETGet extra discounts by shopping with AlexaYou can use your Amazon Echo to ask "Alexa, what are my deals?" anytime. Alexa will then share Prime-exclusive deals with you and you'll have the option to add the item to your cart, buy it now or move on to the next deal. Schedule a convenient shipping date for your packageEveryone knows about Amazon's free two-day shipping, but another option is to choose a delivery date during checkout. It's called Amazon Day and it's helpful if there's a specific day you know someone will be at home to answer for packages -- especially if it's something pricey that you don't want to risk sitting outside unattended. If you order multiple items on different days, you can have them delivered on the same day as long as they're eligible for this offer. Use your Amazon Echo to help track packagesIf you have an Amazon Echo of any kind, you can use it to track your orders. Just say "Alexa, where's my package?" and your Echo will let you know where it is and when it'll arrive. Once your order has been delivered, the Echo's ring light will pulse yellow and if you have the Echo Show, the delivery notification will appear on the screen. Use any Amazon Echo to track your packages. Sarah Tew/CNETShop Early Access deals before non-Prime membersIf something you've been eyeing says "Prime Early Access," as a Prime member, you can shop that sale 30 minutes before non-Prime members. However, you'll still have to compete with other members who are also interested in the product before it sells out.  Watch this: All of the announcements from Amazon's crazy fall event 11:11 Use Prime Now to get what you ordered in a couple of hoursIf there's a product you want same-day, you can see if it's available in Prime Now. Amazon will deliver from morning until evening, so you won't have to worry about receiving your order at 3 a.m. This way of shopping is nifty for when you really need to go to the grocery, but can't risk losing out on that new item, like a fresh Echo device that might go on sale. Prime Now isn't available in all locations, so enter your ZIP code at primenow.amazon.com to see if you're eligible. Note that you'll need to add a gratuity for delivery here, unlike with a normal Amazon Prime order. Share your Prime perks with familyIf you've got another adult living in your household, like a significant other or friend, you can share your Prime membership with them. You'll still be able to keep your personal accounts separate, but you'll both have access to all the same Prime benefits. You can also share your account with up to four teens and up to four children in your household. While they'll have their own logins, you can still manage their profiles. Amazon employees can leave a package inside your house with Amazon Key. Tyler Lizenby/CNETAmazon can leave your package inside your house or garageWhen you know you're not going to be home for a while and you've got a shipment on the way, it's much safer to have an Amazon employee leave your items inside your house or garage to avoid theft. If you have the Amazon Key Home Kit or Amazon In-Garage Delivery Kit, you can request to have your expensive packages left in your home or garage for free. The Home kit itself costs $257 (currently sold out) and comes with a cloud cam and a smart lock, so you'll be in charge of letting the delivery person in and can watch as it's happening. The garage kit is on sale for $30 and turns your garage into a smart garage. If you're wary of letting a complete stranger in your home, keep in mind that you'll also receive notifications during the entire process. Note that you can also choose to block the delivery in your home -- for example, if you know you'll be home during that time.
