Apple devices currently hold the top honor in our guide to the best laptops, smartwatches and tablets. But the companyΓÇÖs gear isnΓÇÖt cheap ΓÇö and you wonΓÇÖt find sales at AppleΓÇÖs own website either. But that doesnΓÇÖt mean you can only get a new iPad or MacBook at full price. Other retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Target and B&H Photo often host considerable discounts, sometimes on the order of a few hundred dollars in savings. And now that Amazon's Prime Day is just around the corner, we're starting to see some early deals on Apple gear. At Engadget, weΓÇÖve tested and reviewed every major device Apple has released ΓÇö including the brand new MacBook Air M4, the Mac Studio M4 Max, a new iPad Air M3, and of course the iPhone 16. One thing to note is that itΓÇÖs harder to find unlocked current-model iPhones on sale ΓÇö for those youΓÇÖll need to go directly to AppleΓÇÖs site or buy through a wireless carrier. But deals on new AirPods, Apple Watches, iPads and Macs pop up nearly every week. We diligently track whatΓÇÖs out there and put the best Apple deals right here. We update this guide regularly with the latest prices, so if youΓÇÖre thinking of buying an Apple product, check here first to see if you can save some cash. Best Apple AirPods deals Apple AirPods 4 for $99 at Amazon ($30 off): AppleΓÇÖs wireless earbuds don't have the best sound quality or battery life, and this entry-level model lacks wireless charging, Find My tracking and onboard volume controls. But it still gets you tons of Apple-friendly features ΓÇö from fast pairing with iCloud devices to spatial audio to hands-free Siri ΓÇö and its lightweight design should fit most ears better than previous AirPods. If you truly hate the feeling of headphones that jut into your ear canal, they sound a bit cleaner and more balanced than most open-back alternatives. Just keep in mind that this design wonΓÇÖt block much outside noise. Also at Best Buy and Target. Apple AirPods 4 with ANC for $149 at Amazon ($30 off): This variant of the AirPods 4 adds ANC, a wireless charging case and Find My tracking support. They keep the same open-style design, so the ANC isn't as effective as what you'd get with a pair that fully seals off the ear canal, but it makes the earbuds more useful in noisy areas all the same. We gave this pair a score of 86 in our review. Also at Walmart, Best Buy and Target. Best iPad deals Apple iPad Air (13-inch, M3) for $699 at B&H Photo ($100 off): We gave the 13- inch iPad Air a review score of 89 when it was released in March. 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. Apple iPad Pro (11-inch, M4) for $899 at Best Buy ($100 off): The iPad Pro is more tablet than most people need, but itΓÇÖs the ultimate Apple slate for those who can stomach its price tag. ItΓÇÖs wonderfully thin, its OLED display is one of the best weΓÇÖve seen on a consumer device and its M4 chip can handle virtually anything youΓÇÖd ever do on an iPad. ItΓÇÖs 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 is. Apple iPad Pro (13-inch, M4) for $1,179 at B&H Photo ($120 off): The 13-inch iPad Pro has all the same specs as the 11-inch model, only it's bigger and more expensive. It may be worth the extra cost if you plan to multitask regularly or just want more screen space for enjoying movies. Best MacBook and Mac deals Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (M4) for $849 ($150 off): Apple's latest MacBook Air is another device that only came out in March 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 ΓÇö one that happens to be our favorite laptop overall. Also at B&H Photo. Apple MacBook Air (15-inch, M4) for $1,049 at Amazon ($150 off): The 15-inch MacBook Air is nearly identical to the smaller version but features more robust speakers and a more spacious trackpad alongside its roomier display. Also at B&H. Apple iMac 24-inch (M4) for $1,193 ($106 off): For an all-in-one solution, the M4 iMac is a good pick thanks to its powerful performance, standard 16GB of RAM and improved webcam. Just note that it only comes in the 24-inch screen size option. It dropped about $15 cheaper in May, but this is still a decent savings compared to buying from Apple directly. Also at B&H for $1,199. MacBook Air (M3, 15-inch) for $899 at B&H ($400 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 ΓÇö 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. Best Apple accessories deals Apple Pencil (USB-C) for $69 at Amazon ($10 off): This more affordable Apple Pencil doesnΓÇÖt support pressure sensitivity, but it still makes for a useful stylus for the basics. If youΓÇÖre a casual note-taker and can live without wireless charging, youΓÇÖll save a few bucks by picking this one up. Also at Best Buy, Walmart and Target. Apple AirTags (4-pack) for $75 at Amazon ($25 off): We think most iPhone owners will appreciate how easy it is to keep track of things like wallets, keys or handbags with a set of AirTags. These Bluetooth trackers monitor the location of your belongings so you can check in on them using the Find My app. Those with newer iPhones can also use UWB technology to get turn-by-turn directions to find their stuff when the AirTag is within close range. Also at Walmart.
