Looking for an iPhone 15 deal?
It might have been overshadowed by the new iPhone 16, but that means last year’s iPhone 15 Pro can now be picked up with a sizeable discount for Black Friday. Laptops Direct is offering Apple’s previous generation phone with £120 off.
iPhone 15 Pro: Was £999, now £879, Laptopsdirect.co.uk
In tech critic David Phelan’s iPhone 15 Pro review, he said it “delivered outstanding upgrades” over older models and is frankly just as good as the iPhone 16 Pro, boasting the same AI features as its newer brother. It’s the phone I’m still rocking because of how small the iPhone 16 upgrade is over the 15.

Whether you love them or wish they’d been left in the Noughties, there’s no denying the resurgence of Uggs – and the brand’s Black Friday sale is one of the most anticipated.
With Ugg styles costing anywhere between £90 to £165, its Black Friday sale is your best chance to score a pair for (a lot) less. From dates to the deals to expect, here’s everything you need to know about Ugg’s Black Friday 2024 sale.

Save 30% on Le Creuset for Black Friday
French brand Le Creuset’s cast iron casserole dish has taken on family-heirloom status in many people’s homes, but cookware like this doesn’t come cheap (no wonder there were four hour queues at the brand’s recent warehouse sale).
So, don’t miss this discount on Le Creuset’s casserole dish thanks to Amazon’s Black Friday event.
Le Creuset enamelled cast iron round casserole dish: Was £209, now £178, Amazon.co.uk
Discounted by nearly 30 per cent in Amazon’s early Black Friday sale, the dish is suitable for one-pot meals and can be used on any cooking surface. In their review, Rachael said: “It was perfect for making slow-roasted dishes such as casseroles, but we also whipped up a loaf of bread, which cooked evenly and with a nice, crispy crust.” Available in a number of colourways, the cerise shade currently has the lowest price point.
A rare saving on an Apple Watch series 10
Released just two months ago, the all-new Apple Watch series 10 has already been discounted by £20 at Amazon – but I don’t think it will stay in stock for long.
Apple Watch series 10: Was £399, now £379, Amazon.co.uk
“While at first glance it looks similar to the series 9, the bigger display, thinner profile and handsome new colours make the series 10 a lot more appealing,” The Independent’s tech critic David Phelan said in his review. “The features that have defined the Apple Watch, from subtle notifications, brilliant mapping capabilities on your wrist and above all, great health features, are all at their best here.”
