Best Apple deals: Save on AirPods, Apple Watch, iPad, MacBook

Apple has been a big player in the tech space for a long time, and it has pioneered some of the technology we use today, such as best wireless earbuds and the best smartwatches. If that wasn’t enough, it even makes some of the best best laptops and best tablets on the market, so pretty much whatever tech you’re looking for, Apple has an excellent version of it. Not only that, but Apple’s ecosystem is also easily one of the best available, with only Samsung really competing in that space, and if you’re already in the Apple ecosystem, then it makes sense to continue buying stuff from Apple.

Of course, Apple tech can be quite pricey, which is 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 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.

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 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.

Apple deals are rarely particularly cheap but Walmart is continuing to sell the Apple MacBook Air M1 with 13.3-inch screen for just $699. The lowest price ever, it’s the perfect entry point for anyone considering checking out macOS. It feels like stock must be starting to run low here so if you don’t want to miss out on one of the better laptop deals around, hit the buy button now before you miss out. Otherwise, here’s what the MacBook Air M1 has to offer.

Why you should buy the MacBook Air M1
The MacBook Air M1 isn’t considered one of the best laptops any more but just because its processor is a few years old doesn’t mean you should ignore it. MacBooks are typically built to last with support for macOS continuing for a number of years. With the MacBook Air M1, you get the M1 chip with an 8-core CPU which is sure to outperform Intel chips of the same era. The leap between Intel-based MacBooks to Apple silicon was pretty huge which is why the M1 chip remains highly potent.
