Like every shop out there, John Lewis will slash prices this year for Black Friday, and some of its biggest savings are likely to be all about tech.
Black Friday is still a while away, on 24 November, with Cyber Monday a few days later on 27 November, but John Lewis’s Black Friday sale is likely to start at least a couple of weeks earlier.
The sale usually spans just about everything that John Lewis sells, but of course we’re focussed on on all things tech. You’ll find discounts on smartphones, laptops, wearables, headphones, smart home tech, and more.
John Lewis may have sadly dropped its ‘Never Knowingly Undersold’ promise – and with it the commitment to price-matching competitors – but that hasn’t stopped the store from delivering big discounts for the sale season.
Every year we pore through John Lewis’s sale to pick out the best offers around, and we’ll continue to update this article as bigger and better deals turn up online.
Remember that while savings are likely to be available at least until Cyber Monday – and sometimes even beyond – there’s no guarantee that the offers will get better as we get closer to Black Friday itself. That means that if you see a good deal on a product you want, it’s usually better to go for it than wait and risk missing out.
While we wait for Black Friday 2023, here are the best tech deals we found from John Lewis last time around.
Best John Lewis Black Friday deals
Apple iPad Air 2022 (Wi-Fi only, 64GB)
The latest iPad Air has had a price hike from Apple, but the John Lewis price is now effectively at an £100 reduction – together with up to a further £150 off with trade-in, and three months of free Apple TV+.
Meta Quest 2 (128GB) with Beat Saber
John Lewis may not be discounting the Meta Quest 2 itself, but it will throw in a free copy of Beat Saber when you pick up the headset right now. It’s a great bit of kit too, as detailed in our five-star Meta Quest 2 review.
Samsung The Frame QLED TV (50in, 2021 model)
When you’re not watching movies and TV shows on Samsung’s The Frame TV, this display is optimized for showing works of art and photos as a massive digital picture frame. This is last year’s model, which started at £1,199 but was more recently priced at £849. Either way, this is a huge saving on great telly.
