Whether you build your calendar around Apple events or you just want solid tech no matter the brand, Apple’s got you covered. Sure, they’re a little notorious for their high prices, but we’ve rounded up the best deals on iPads, AirPods, MacBooks, and more to help you save where you can. Check them out below.

Why we like it
Check out our full review of the M2 MacBook Air.
We may finally have M3 iMacs and Macbooks, but the M2 chip is still plenty powerful and is definitely worth checking out at this sub-$1,000 price point. In this MacBook Air model, it makes for an excellent work from home machine. The 13.6-inch display actually feels different from the previous gen’s 13.3 inches (we know, but trust us), a keyword you’ll actually want to type on, and at the time of writing, a price that puts it just $50 away from its lowest price ever. Best Buy Plus or Total members can save an additional $47.45 on this laptop.

iPad deals
Why we like it
We’re not going to lie, this $249 price tag is far from a Black Friday exclusive, but that doesn’t mean this deal from Amazon and Walmart is worth ignoring. This 2021 tablet has hit this record-low price more than once this year — including during last month’s Prime Day — but its still by far the best price you can get on any iPad, especially if you don’t need a tablet for anything more than everyday tasks.

iPhone deals
Why we like it
The iPhone 15 may be the shiniest new Apple toy, and while the deals on the phone certainly aren’t bad, they are contingent upon you having a decent trade-in. If you feel any doubt in your trade-in power, going for this Verizon deal on the 14 Plus requires none — only that you open a new line on select unlimited plans. Still some hoops, but far fewer to get an $800 phone basically for free.

Apple Watch deals
Why we like it
Check out our full review of the Apple Watch Series 9.
If you want some dollars off on double tap, now is the time to buy. As part of the kickoff of the first part of their Black Friday sale, Walmart gave the Series 9 its first big price drop of $50, bringing it down to $349. (The 45mm configurations as well as the cellular models have also received a $50 price cut). Not to be outdone, Amazon matched the deal, and now you can get a Series 9 for what we expect will be one of its best, if not the best, price of the Black Friday season.

Why we like it
Read our full review of the second-generation AirPods Pro.
If you’re looking for a quality pair of noise-canceling earbuds, look no further than the AirPods Pro. They’re our favorite buds for traveling, with Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder deeming them, “the first pair of earbuds I’d actually consider taking on an airplane (instead of my much larger and clunkier over-ear headphones).” They also come with 30 total hours of battery life with the charging case (six hours per charge), great sound quality, and easy pairing to all of your Apple devices. Though at $199, they’re still $10 away from their lowest price ever, you’ll save a bigger chunk of change than if you opt for the USB buds (at least, at the time of writing).
