Best Apple deals: Save on AirPods, Apple Watch, iPad, MacBook

Apple is one of the biggest tech companies in the world when it comes to mobile stuff, so if you’re looking to grab something new inside the Apple ecosystem, there are a ton of options. That includes the best wireless earbuds, the best smartwatches, the best laptops, and even the best tablets, so you have a massive amount of options when it comes to what you want to pick up, and you don’t lose any quality by staying in the Apple ecosystem. Unfortunately, that does come with a premium since Apple devices are considered so high-end.

That’s why we’ve gone out and searched through various big retailers to find you some of the best deals we can find. That includes everything from the MacBook deals, AirPods deals, Apple TV deals and Apple Watch deals to the AirTag, so hopefully, you can find the perfect deal that fits your needs and budget.

Apple AirTag (4-Pack) — $80, was $99

Insert the Apple AirTag into your bag, gadget, or any item that you may misplace, so that you can track it if you lose it. The Apple AirTag is one of the best Bluetooth trackers if you’re using an iPhone or iPad because not only does it offer a one-tap setup, but it can utilize the millions of devices in Apple’s Find My network to help you find your stuff if it goes beyond the Bluetooth range of 30 feet. It’s powered by a replaceable battery that can last for more than a year before you need a new one.

Apple AirPods Pro 2nd Gen — $190, was $249

The Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C and MagSafe introduces new charging methods to one of the best wireless earbuds in the market, especially for Apple fans. They provide amazing active noise cancellation to help keep you focused on your music or videos, excellent audio quality so you can better appreciate your favorite tracks, and battery life of up to 6 hours on a single charge and up to 30 hours if you include the juice from their charging case.

Apple Watch Series 9 (41mm, GPS) — $299, was $399

It’s no surprise that among the best smartwatches, the Apple Watch Series 9 is our top choice for iPhone owners. It may look like its predecessors, but the wearable device features the S9 chip for fast and smooth performance, and extensive health and safety features that will make you want to always have it on your wrist. The Apple Watch Series 9 is extremely comfortable to wear, and it can run for up to 18 hours before you need to recharge it.

Apple iPad Air 5th Gen (Wi-Fi 256GB) — $699, was $749

The fifth-generation Apple iPad Air ranks first among our top picks as the best tablets for a variety of reasons, starting with the high-performance M1 processor that makes the device run very fast and smooth. The fifth-generation Apple iPad Air is equipped with a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display that’s bright and colorful even under direct sunlight, a 12MP Wide back camera that can record 4K footage, and a 12MP Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage to keep you in the frame during video calls even when you move around.

Apple M2 MacBook Air 15 — $999, was $1,299

The M2 MacBook Air is a pretty unique laptop because it was the first Apple laptop to actually have a 15-inch screen compared to all the previous generations. It also comes in both an M2 and an M3 chip variety, although the M2 chip model is more affordable and still has a ton of power under the hood. Luckily, the 15-inch MacBook Air also has great battery life and a gorgeous retina display, so it’s great to use for long periods without getting a ton of eye strain.

Apple iMac with Retina 5K Display review close

While MacBooks are great, their smaller screens can be a bit difficult to work on, especially if you need to do complex creative work like graphical rending or editing a video. Of course, you could go with an Apple desktop, which is pricey and big, or you can go for one of the best all-in-one computers, the iMac.

Of course, they do tend to be pricey, which is why we've gone out and collected some of our favorite deals on them, although if you still want a MacBook, you can check out these MacBook deals or these refurbished MacBook deals. Also, if you're ok with something a bit bigger, then check out our roundup of our favorite desktop deals.
