Apple may have an iron grasp on the general population, but when it comes down to it, their products look good, work well, and stay cutting-edge — so of course, people love 'em. Whether you build your calendar around Apple events or 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.

Our pick: 2024 15-inch MacBook Air (M3, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD)
$1,199.00 at Amazon
$1,299.00 Save $100.00

Why we like it

Check out our full review of the 15-inch M3 MacBook Air.

We love seeing a nice discount on a newer Apple release, and that's exactly the case in with this M3 MacBook Air. Though it's not quite at the $150 markdown we saw it at a couple weeks ago, $100 off an Apple laptop that's only a few months old isn't bad at all. The larger screen makes the new Air a great choice for folks who need more space to work, especially for creative tasks like video or photo editing. The M3 chip will give you plenty of power for your workflow, and, especially with the price drop, this Air is a more affordable alternative to the 14-inch MacBook Pro.

Why we like it

The new iPad Air is finally here, and it doesn't disappoint — especially with its first discount ever. The M2 chip gives a zippy upgrade to 2022's Air, and offers starting storage of 128GB compared to the last gen's 64GB. Considering this was one of our biggest gripes with the 2022 Air, we're happy to see that this change came without a price jump. Basically, this is the iPad for anyone who wants something more powerful than a base iPad but doesn't want the processing power of the Pro (or to fork over the $999 it starts at). The 256GB 13-inch Air is also on sale for $50 off, though it's significantly more expensive — you can check out our full review of that tablet for more info.

Why we like it

Read our full review of the iPhone 15.

The iPhone 15 hasn't really received the "get it free" deal treatment since it's been on the market. Although this particular deal comes with the standard caveats of requiring a new line and particular cell phone plan, it's still one of the best we've seen on this phone. With its USB-C charging port, Dynamic Island, and 48-megapixel camera, it is, as Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder calls it in his review, one of "the best new iPhones for most people."

Our pick: Apple Watch Series 8 (40mm, GPS)
$189.00 at Walmart
$249.00 Save $60.00

Why we like it

Apple Watch prices aren't too impressive this month, but we remain fans of this sub-$200 deal on the Apple Watch SE at Walmart and Amazon. This smartwatch is more on the basic side, without an S9 chip (and therefore Double Tap), an ECG sensor, and a display that maxes out at 1,000 nits of brightness (as compared to 2,000 nits). However, it can still act as a heart rate monitor, and of course, the ability to download a whole host of apps.

Our pick: AirPods Max

Why we like it

Check out our full review of the AirPods Max.

We won't sugarcoat it — the AirPods Max are overpriced for what you get, and if you're looking for a pair of over-ear headphones, there are better options out there. Maybe that means you'll want to hold out for the new Maxes that are rumored to be released by the end of the year. But we will say that $449 marks the lowest price we've seen these headphones at for quite some time (though not their absolute lowest price, which is $429). While we still recommend shopping around before you commit, these headphones do sound great and have decent active noise cancellation — if you have your heart set on the AirPods Max and can't wait for the new release, this is a good time to buy.
