Apple iPhone 12, 128GB: Was £499, now £399, Argos.co.uk

While it’s not the latest and greatest iPhone, if you’re looking for an affordable, powerful smartphone, this is a deal worth considering. You can save 20 percent on the iPhone 12 thanks to Argos’ Black Friday sale. “If you don’t mind having a less advanced camera than the iPhone 12 Pro, the iPhone 12 is the better choice.” It’s cheaper, has the same performance, looks the same, has the same display, has the same 5G connectivity and weighs less,” Alex, our tech writer, said in his review.

Amazon kicked off its Black Friday week on November 21st and there’s now a dizzying amount of deals to browse. Daisy, our senior ecommerce writer, has rounded up all the deals you need to know.

As you might expect, Amazon has also slashed the price of its own devices, from 40 per cent on Amazon Fire TV sticks (now £34.99, Amazon.co.uk) and 20 per cent on Kindles (now £124.99 , Amazon.co.uk). .uk) on deals on the retailer’s Echo Dot smart speakers, Ring doorbells and tablets. And from Ninja to Shark, the sale also includes discounts on some of our favorite bands.

If you’re looking for a pair of Hoka’s famously cushioned and comfortable running shoes, they’re on sale at various retailers. In our test of the best men’s running shoes, the Hoka Clifton 9 proved to be great for long, easy runs – and with this discount you get almost 20 percent off the tried-and-tested runners.

When our reviewer took the Hoka Clifton 9 shoes for a test run, he described them as lively and runnable, and also great as a casual, everyday shoe. They found that it “offers an extremely cushioned ride that’s perfect for racking up big miles,” while “the rocker profile provides smooth transitions from heel to toe.”

It’s not just big brands and retailers jumping on the Black Friday bandwagon, but also supermarkets. Tesco offers discounts on electronics, drinks, toys and more. You can save on this bottle of Lagavulin whiskey (was £99, now £70, Tesco.com), a Gastroback coffee machine (was £169.99, now £149.99, Tesco.com), this tower air fryer ( previously £59.99, now £44.99, Tesco.com) and much more.
