Apple is one of the biggest tech companies in the world when it comes to mobile stuff, so if you’re looking to grab something new inside the Apple ecosystem, there are a ton of options. That includes the best wireless earbuds, the best smartwatches, the best laptops, and even the best tablets, so you have a massive amount of options when it comes to what you want to pick up, and you don’t lose any quality by staying in the Apple ecosystem. Unfortunately, that does come with a premium since Apple devices are considered so high-end.

That’s why we’ve gone out and searched through various big retailers to find you some of the best deals we can find. That includes everything from the MacBook deals, AirPods deals, Apple TV deals and Apple Watch deals to the AirTag, so hopefully, you can find the perfect deal that fits your needs and budget.

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.

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.

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 M2 MacBook Air 15 — $999, was $1,299

The M2 MacBook Air is a pretty unique laptop because it was the first Apple laptop to actually have a 15-inch screen compared to all the previous generations. It also comes in both an M2 and an M3 chip variety, although the M2 chip model is more affordable and still has a ton of power under the hood. Luckily, the 15-inch MacBook Air also has great battery life and a gorgeous retina display, so it’s great to use for long periods without getting a ton of eye strain.

Best Mac Mini deals: Save over $100 on an Apple desktop
Apple Mac Mini 2018

One of the big problems that you might find with a traditional tower desktop is that it can be hard to fit in a smaller home or office space, especially if you consider the fact that it needs to have space around it for ventilation.

It's a great little computer that still has a surprising amount of power under the hood, including the M1 And M2 chips, which you might be familiar with from their inclusion in the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro.
