Black Friday itself is still six days away, but the deals have already kicked off, with plenty of discounts on big tech items and lots more. Even when spoilt for choice, we can’t help but be drawn to deals of various Apple devices. Apple prices usually hold firm unless there's a major sale event on, so the Black Friday deals are always a great opportunity to stock up on Apple products for less. 

The likes of  MacBooks, iPads, and AirTags are all up for grabs at knockdown prices. And if you’re in the market for headphones, Apple users should take advantage of this deal on the Apple AirPods. These super-smart earbuds sync seamlessly to your Apple devices and offer Apple-specific features — all powered by the powerful H2 chip. Best of all this Black Friday though is the price.

The Apple AirPods are currently down to just $79.99 for Black Friday. That’s a saving of 38% from the regular list price of £129. That’s an overall saving of $49.01.

The AirPods are well stacked with features. They boast personalized spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, which anticipates your head movements and places sound all around you for a three-dimensional audio experience. You also get access to Siri, a full 30 hours of battery with the charging case, and sound isolation for blocking out the outside world. You'll have to pay a little more for the version with active noise cancellation, though they're still included in the Black Friday deals.

It’s very nearly Black Friday and there are stacks of deals already live across Amazon and other retailers. And with so many tech deals available, it’s hard not to be drawn to the selection of discounts on Apple devices, including MacBooks, iPads, and AirPods. It’s also a chance to grab small essentials you’ve never got around to buying, such as the Apple AirTag. You’ll wonder how you ever lived without one, or, in this case, a whole four-pack — especially if you’re the sort of person who always loses their valuables.

The Apple AirTag 4-pack is at a great low price of $64.98, a saving of 34% — that’s $34.02 off the regular list price of $99. It’s just 49 cents off the Apple AirTag four-pack’s lowest-ever price.

The Apple AirTag works by syncing with the Find My app. Just hold it near your iPhone and it connects via Bluetooth with one quick tap. You then attach the AirTag to your valuables — wallet, keys, smartphone, luggage, or anything else — and it uses Ultra Wideband technology to track that item if you ever misplace it. You can ask Siri to help you find the item or prompt the AirTag to make a little noise. There’s also a “lost mode” that uses the wider Find My network and alerts you when the AirTag is detected. And with four AirTags for just $64.98, you can track four items at once.

BDSM and cinema share a long history – so long that coded examples of Dom/sub dynamics on screen can be traced all the way back to silent film. But it was only in the 2000s that BDSM movies managed to become mainstream enough so that we can have films like Babygirl and Pillion. So, how did kink become so popular? And is more representation necessarily a good thing?

Mashable spoke to Liam Wignall, senior lecturer in Psychology at the University of Brighton and editor of The Power of BDSM, and screenwriter Caitlin Parrish (G20, Supergirl) to find out.
