iPad Deals
Apple’s 10th-generation iPad remains the budget champion at $349, but today you can grab the 64GB Wi-Fi model for just $299 at Amazon and Best Buy, matching the lowest price we’ve tracked in months. This 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display tablet trades the home button for a USB-C port, houses the A14 Bionic chip, and supports the first-gen Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard Folio. The 256GB variant is down to $449, a rare $50 discount that makes it a compelling laptop alternative for students.
The iPad Air with M1 chip sits at a sweet spot. The 64GB Wi-Fi configuration is priced at $499, a $100 savings off MSRP, available at B&H Photo and Amazon in multiple colorways, including Starlight and Purple. If you need more breathing room, the 256GB model has fallen to $649, $100 off, at Walmart. With a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, Center Stage camera, and full Magic Keyboard and second-gen Apple Pencil support, the Air is a productivity workhorse. The M1 chip delivers fluid multitasking and desktop-class performance that outpaces most Windows tablets in this range.
For power users, the 11-inch iPad Pro with M2 processor is seeing aggressive discounts. The 128GB Wi-Fi edition is marked down to $699 at Amazon, a $100 price drop. The larger 12.9-inch iPad Pro with mini-LED Liquid Retina XDR display is $999 for the 128GB Wi-Fi version, a $100 reduction, at Best Buy. These Pro models feature Thunderbolt/USB 4 connectivity, ProMotion 120Hz refresh, and Apple Pencil hover. Creators who leverage DaVinci Resolve, Procreate, or Logic Pro will notice the immediate speed boost over the M1 generation, and these deals undercut typical holiday pricing.
Cellular options are seeing rare cuts, too. The 11-inch iPad Pro 256GB with 5G is $949 at Amazon, down from $1,099. The entry-level 10th-gen iPad 64GB Cellular lands at $459, a $40 dip, at T-Mobile and Apple retail stores when activating a plan. If you’re after a mini tablet, the iPad mini 6 with A15 Bionic is $399 for the 64GB Wi-Fi variant, $100 off, at Amazon. Its 8.3-inch display, USB-C, and Pencil 2 support make it the ultimate e-reader and note-taking companion that fits in a lab coat pocket.
Accessory bundling sweetens these offers. Amazon is knocking $20 off the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) at $109, and the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 11-inch is $279, a $20 discount. The Smart Folio for the 10th-gen iPad is down to $69, a $10 saving. Consider pairing the iPad Air with the Logitech Combo Touch keyboard case, also on sale for $134.99 at Best Buy, which offers a trackpad and detachable keyboard at a lower cost than Apple’s own solution.
MacBook Deals
The MacBook Air M1, still a capable ultraportable, drops to $749.99 at Amazon and Best Buy for the base 8GB/256GB configuration, a $250 markdown. This fanless design with 18-hour battery life, Retina display, and Magic Keyboard remains an outstanding value for everyday tasks, light coding, and media consumption. For those who can stretch the budget, the MacBook Air M2 is far more tempting. The 13.6-inch model with 8GB/256GB is $899 at Amazon and B&H, saving $200. The 10-core GPU variant with 512GB storage plummets to $1,199, $300 off, at Best Buy. The M2 Air introduces the Liquid Retina display, MagSafe charging, 1080p webcam, and a slimmer chassis that weighs just 2.7 pounds. Midnight and Starlight finishes are equally discounted.
The 15-inch MacBook Air M2 launched at $1,299 and now sits at $1,099 at Amazon and Best Buy, a consistent $200 off. The larger screen real estate and six-speaker sound system make it a superb choice for multitaskers who don’t need Pro-level cooling. If you must have the latest, the MacBook Air M3 with 13.6-inch display starts at $1,099, but you’ll find it for $999 at Adorama and Amazon, a $100 cut. The 15-inch M3 Air is $1,199, down $100 at B&H. The M3 chip brings a faster Neural Engine, hardware-accelerated ray tracing, and Wi-Fi 6E, future-proofing your laptop for AI-driven apps and light gaming.
MacBook Pro deals are getting aggressive. The 14-inch MacBook Pro with M3 chip, 8GB/512GB, is $1,399 at Amazon and Best Buy, $200 off. This model packs the Liquid Retina XDR display, 120Hz ProMotion, and an HDMI port plus SDXC card slot. For serious compute, the M3 Pro 14-inch (11-core CPU, 14-core GPU, 18GB/512GB) has plunged to $1,699 at B&H, a $300 discount. The M3 Max configurations are rare on sale, but the 14-inch with 14-core CPU, 30-core GPU, 36GB/1TB is $2,899 at Adorama, $300 off. The 16-inch MacBook Pro M3 Pro (12-core CPU, 18-core GPU, 18GB/512GB) is $2,199, $300 off at Best Buy. These are professional video editing, 3D rendering, and software development machines, and the price cuts reflect inventory clearing ahead of M4 announcements.
Apple Certified Refurbished MacBooks also deserve attention. The refurbished 13-inch MacBook Air M2 with 16GB/512GB is $1,099, a $350 saving versus new, and includes a new battery and the same one-year warranty. Apple’s refurb store restocks randomly; check early morning for 14-inch M2 Pro MacBook Pro units around $1,599—historically a superb value.
Notable accessory ties: the Apple Studio Display is $1,349 at Amazon, a $150 drop when buying alongside a Mac. The Magic Mouse and Magic Keyboard with Touch ID are $20 off each, and the 35W Dual USB-C Port Power Adapter is $49, $10 off.
AirPods Deals
AirPods 2nd generation are at their baseline of $89 at Amazon and Walmart, down from $129. They serve as a gym or backup pair with seamless iOS switching. The AirPods 3rd generation with Lightning Charging Case are $139 at Staples and Best Buy, a $30 saving. The model with MagSafe Charging Case is $159, $20 off, at Amazon. Personalised spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, improved battery life, and sweat resistance make these the best-fitting open-ear buds for daily use, but the real headline sits higher up.
The AirPods Pro 2nd generation with USB-C/MagSafe charging case are $189 at Amazon and Walmart, a staggering $60 off the $249 list price. In addition to best-in-class active noise cancellation and Adaptive Transparency, the USB-C case supports lossless audio with Apple Vision Pro. The H2 chip yields richer bass and clearer highs, while Conversation Awareness and Personalized Volume refine the experience. This price undercuts even Black Friday 2023 levels. Verizon has the same price, and Target includes a free $15 gift card on top. If you only want the earbuds without the latest case, be careful; the older Lightning case model occasionally pops up at $179, but the USB-C version is the one to buy for longevity.
For over-ear listeners, AirPods Max are $479 at Amazon and B&H, a $70 drop from $549. While the Lightning port and aging H1 chip feel dated, the aluminum build, breathable knit mesh canopy, and superb soundstage still outperform most competitors. The refresh rumored for late 2024 hasn’t materialized, so if you prioritize spatial audio with dynamic head tracking and seamless Apple ecosystem integration, the current price makes them palatable. Silver and Space Gray are easiest to find. Green and Sky Blue often go out of stock; set an alert.
Beats deals often mirror AirPods sales. The Beats Fit Pro with wingtips, IPX4 sweat resistance, and the same H1 chip as AirPods Pro (1st gen) are $159.95 at Amazon and Best Buy, $40 off. The Beats Studio Buds + with improved ANC and transparency are $129.95, $40 off. Both deliver one-touch pairing and Find My support, making them worthy Android-compatible alternatives.
Where to Buy and Price-Matching
Amazon leads across all categories, often dropping prices further in the cart or after coupon clips. Best Buy matches most Amazon pricing and throws in free Apple Music or Apple TV+ trials with purchase. B&H Photo and Adorama offer no-outside-of-NY sales tax and bundle deals like free Windows or Office licenses with MacBooks, though not strictly Apple deals. Costco membership may unlock even lower MacBook and iPad pricing, typically $50-$100 below these advertised rates, plus an automatic second-year warranty. Target RedCard holders save an extra 5% on AirPods and iPad accessories. Micro Center routinely undercuts by $50 on MacBooks for in-store pickup; check the “Apple Deals” banner. For refurbished devices, only trust Apple Certified Refurbished because of the genuine battery, full warranty, and meticulous inspection.
Price protection is a smart hedge. Many credit cards, including Chase Sapphire Preferred and Citi Double Cash, offer 60-day price-drop protection. Citi’s Price Rewind feature flags lower prices, though you must file the claim manually. If you’re using Amazon’s price tracking services like CamelCamelCamel, note that the current iPad Air 256GB price equals its 2023 holiday low, signaling a strong buy. The AirPods Pro 2 USB-C is at an all-time low, unlikely to dip further before a new model. MacBook Air M2 13-inch at $899 has been lower only once, making it an opportune entry point.
Timing Your Purchase
Amazon’s daily deals reset around 3 p.m. ET, often surfacing limited-quantity Lightning Deals on Apple gear. Best Buy’s Deal of the Day frequently spotlights MacBooks, like the M3 MacBook Pro $300 off, which disappears within hours. Woot, an Amazon subsidiary, sometimes sells previous-gen AirPods at rock-bottom prices, sealed in box. Don’t overlook Apple’s own Education Store, which year-round discounts iPads and Macs by $100-$200 and throws in a gift card during back-to-school season. If you have a .edu email, you can stack it with current promos for the most affordable new Apple devices anywhere.
The iPad 10th gen at $299 will likely sell out in Starlight and Blue first. MacBook Air M1 at $749 won’t last long as inventory winds down with the M2 becoming the default entry. AirPods Pro 2 USB-C at $189 is a volume mover; retailers are competing aggressively. Secure your purchase by noon to avoid missing the window. Many listings show “limited stock,” and with Apple’s quarterly earnings behind us, discounts represent genuine retailer-led price adjustments rather than manufacturer rebates, meaning they could vanish without notice. Check your cart for additional coupon checkboxes—Amazon occasionally hides a $10 off coupon on the AirPods Pro 2 page, bringing the net price to $179.
All prices are verified as of 8 a.m. ET today and are subject to change. Where available, selecting Amazon’s frustration-free packaging can save an extra dollar on select iPads. Warranty-wise, add AppleCare+ within 60 days; current deals still allow standard coverage eligibility. Some refurbished units sold by third parties on Walmart Marketplace do not include Apple’s warranty, so verify the seller is “Apple” or an authorized reseller before clicking buy. Stick to the trusted retailers listed to ensure you receive a genuine, sealed Apple product with full manufacturer support.
