Black Friday is finally upon us, but many great deals on the latest and greatest technology have been running during the month of November. Now that the actual day is here, it’s time for the Express.co.uk tech team to round up the ten very best offers we have found.
That team is myself, Henry Burrell, deputy technology editor, and Dave Snelling, technology editor. We write about and review technology and the latest gadgets all year round and have done for years, so we know a thing or two about a great deal.
Whether you have been mulling a new phone, tablet, laptop, smartwatch or even a change of broadband provider, there is a deal here to please every kind of tech shopper this Black Friday.
The famous sale event is today thanks to a discount tradition from the USA, where items have been put on sale the day after Thanksgiving, which is on the last Thursday of November. From in-store-only sales and into the internet age, Black Friday is really more of a Black November these days.
It’s easy to get caught up in the hype, though. Make sure you’re not needlessly spending money on tech you don’t need or can’t afford. If you have been considering a specific type of purchase and were going to spend the money anyway, now is a great time to save. But buying something just because it is discounted isn’t always wise, if you weren’t intending to part with that cash before Black Friday.
If you do want to invest, we’ve picked out the ten best tech deals below. From free broadband offers to the cheapest we’ve ever seen the latest iPad, there are great discounts, if you know where to look.
Here are our picks for the best tech deals for Black Friday 2025.

Free broadband offers
Yes, you really can get broadband for free this Black Friday. There are two major providers offering internet access without charge, with both deals lasting well into next year.
First up, it’s Virgin Media. This popular firm is offering its fast downloads – including the ultimate Gig1 option with 1,000Mbps downloads – free for the next three months.
If that sounds good, things get even better for anyone living in the capital. London-based Community Fibre is handing out broadband for a full six months in its Black Friday sale. That means those signing up can be payment-free well into the new year.
