The best Apple deals you can get right now: Save on Apple TV+, iPads, Watches and more

It's no secret that Apple devices tend to be in particularly high demand, whether it’s your nephew who wants an iPad, your sister who needs a set of AirPods or your parent who could really use a new MacBook. Unfortunately, that demand can make finding big discounts on Apple gadgets a bit harder than usual. But make no mistake: Good Apple deals are usually out there, so long as you know where to look. To make things easier for you, we're keeping a running list of the best Apple deals on AirPods, MacBooks, iPads and more that you can shop right now. Just note that you’ll find the best Apple deals from retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target and the like, not from Apple's own online store. Unless you shop refurbished, you’ll always pay top dollar buying direct (though for some items like iPhones, that might be the best route to take). Best Apple Watch deals Apple Watch SE for $169 ($80 off): Those on tighter budgets can opt for the Apple Watch SE and know they’re getting the core Apple wearable experience with few compromises. We consider it to be the best smartwatch for newbies. Though we have a few thoughts on what a new generation SE could look like. Best Apple streaming deals Best AirPod deals Apple AirPods Max (USB-C) for $480 ($69 off): The AirPods Max are bulkier and far more expensive than Sony's WH-1000XM5 — the top pick in our guide to the best wireless headphones — and they rely on a flimsy case to preserve power, so we can only recommend them to hardcore Apple fans. That said, they're the pair to get if you want (most of) the conveniences of in-ear AirPods, they still sound great and their active noise cancellation is among the best on the market. This model is nearly the same as the one we reviewed way back in 2020, only it now comes with a USB-C port and supports lossless audio in wired mode. AirPods 4 with ANC for $169 ($10 off): These buds have ANC, but they don’t have the interchangeable ear tips you’ll find on the AirPods Pro 2. Even so, they have an improved fit over the last version, plus good sound quality and a heap of advanced features. Also at Walmart. Best iPad deals Apple iPad Air 13-inch (M3) for $735 ($64 off): We gave the 13-inch iPad Air a review score of 89 when it was released last month. It has a bigger and slightly brighter display than its 11-inch counterpart; otherwise, the two slates are the same. If you plan to keep your iPad hooked up to a keyboard, the extra screen space is lovely for taking in movies and multitasking for work. In general, the newest Air is a spec bump, but we still recommend it over the standard model if you can swing it: Its display is more color-rich and better at fending off glare, the speakers are more robust, it works with Apple’s best accessories and its performance should hold up better in the years ahead. Apple iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) for $1,099 ($200 off): The iPad Pro is more tablet than most people need, but it’s the ultimate iPad for those who can stomach its price tag. It’s wonderfully thin, its OLED display is one of the best we’ve seen on a consumer device and its M4 chip can handle virtually anything you’d ever do on an iPad. It’s also the only Apple tablet with Face ID, plus it has a better speaker setup than the iPad Air. We gave it a score of 84 in our review, with the only real drawback being how expensive it all is. This deal on doesn’t truly lessen that — and it’s another deal we’ve seen multiple times in recent months — but it still ties the 13-inch model’s all-time low. Also at Best Buy. Best MacBook deals and Mac discounts MacBook Air (M4, 13-inch) for $949 ($50 off): Apple's latest MacBook Air is another device that only came out last month but already has a modest discount at some retailers. One of the things we appreciated most in our review was the slight price drop for the base configuration. Instead of starting at $1,099 like the 13-inch M3 MacBook Air, the M4 starts at $999. Add in this discount and the fact that the ultraportable packs Apple's latest M-series chip, and you've got yourself a pretty good deal on a capable laptop — one that happens to be our favorite laptop overall. Also at B&H Photo. MacBook Air (M3, 15-inch) for $999 ($300 off): The last-gen M3 MacBook Air has officially been discontinued, but it remains a superb laptop while the last bits of stock remain available. We gave this 15-inch model a score of 90 in in our review — outside of its slower chip (which is still plenty fast for everyday use), marginally improved camera and inability to power two external displays with the lid open, it's virtually identical to the newer version. MacBook Air (M2, 13-inch) for $800 ($200 off): With the launch of the M4 MacBook Air, the M2 model feels a little old — though it's objectively a solid laptop. We called it Apple's "near-perfect" Mac in our original review, praising it for its excellent performance, gorgeous screen and thinner design. iMac (M4, 24-inch) for $1,193 ($106 off
