Apple’s devices offer the most advanced technologies, iconic designs, and extreme ease of use — alongside expensive prices. That’s why there’s always high demand for Apple deals, especially those that involve the latest models. If you’re looking to buy an AirPods, Apple Watch, iPad, MacBook, or any of Apple’s other products, you’ve come to the right place because we’ve rounded up the top offers that you can shop right now. However, as with any discounts on Apple devices, these bargains aren’t expected to last long, so you better hurry with your purchases if you don’t want to miss out.

Apple AirTag (4-Pack) — $89, 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 — $189, was $238

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) — $329, 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, 64GB) — $500, was $599

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 MacBook Air M1 — $750, was $1,000

Another device powered by Apple’s M1 chip, the Apple MacBook Air M1 is the lowest-price option in our list of the best MacBooks, but it’s still a fantastic laptop in terms of performance. The M1 processor not only enables excellent battery life at up to 18 hours from a full charge, but its efficiency also allows the Apple MacBook Air M1 to go completely fanless. It comes with a 13.3-inch Retina display, a FaceTime HD camera, and a pair of Thunderbolt 3 ports and a 3.5mm audio jack.

Proving that Apple deals don’t need to be excessively expensive, Best Buy has continued its Black Friday price for the stylish and practical MacBook Air M1. Usually priced at $1,000, it’s down to $800 right now so you save $200. MacBook deals rarely hang around for long so we’re pleased to see this one continuing past Black Friday. However, if you’re tempted by it, it’s a smart move to hit the buy button now as it’s likely to end soon. Here’s what else you may wish to know about it.

Why you should buy the MacBook Air M1
The MacBook Air M1 was described as “fast, fanless, and absolutely fantastic” when we reviewed it back in 2020. It might be three years old now but it’s still one of the best MacBooks around, especially at this price.

If you want to buy one of Apple's MacBooks but you're strapped for cash and the discounts that you see in the usual MacBook deals at retailers like Amazon and Best Buy don't get them cheap enough, there's another option for you -- buy a refurbished MacBook. You'll have to get the device from a trustworthy source though, so that you'll be sure that the device will be fully functional, in excellent condition, and backed by a warranty.  To help you narrow down your choices, we've rounded up the best refurbished MacBook deals that you can shop right now. Taking advantage of any of these offers will save your wallet from getting emptied, but you need to act fast because we're not sure how long they'll last.
MacBook Air 11.6-inch (2015) -- from $159

Once the latest MacBook Air but now eight years old and still competent, the MacBook Air 11.6-inch (2015) is a great starting point for anyone new to macOS or who just needs something financially on par with a Chromebook. It's a refurbished model but it comes with a one-year warranty so there's peace of mind here. It won't run the latest macOS unfortunately, but its Intel Core i5 processor, 4GB of memory and 128GB of SSD storage helps you perform the basics. It still has all the style of a MacBook so we're thinking this could be a good entry point as your child's first MacBook or if you want a project.

It's Dell's thinnest and lightest 13-inch XPS yet while still offering up to 12 hours of battery life which should suit most people. Other useful features include bigger internal speakers compared to previous models, along with a minimalist design and a dual-sensor camera that makes it easy to log in with Windows Hello compared to usual methods. It's a reliable laptop all around.
