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

One of the big reasons that Apple is popular is because of its very straightforward ecosystem, which lets you use all your devices almost as if they’re one, making it great for those who want something that isn’t difficult to use and learn. Luckily, Apple also makes some of the best wireless earbuds, the best smartwatches, the best laptops, and even the best tablets, so if you’re in the Apple ecosystem, you can expand without having to worry about buying something subpar. Of course, higher quality does mean having to spend more money, and if you’re planning to grab something from Apple, then you’ll likely want a deal.

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.

Apple AirTag (4-Pack) — $80, 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 — $190, was $249

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 (45mm, GPS) — $359, was $429

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 256GB) — $699, was $749

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 — $1,000, 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.

Walmart is selling refurbished MacBooks for under $150

Even with the discounts from MacBook deals, Apple's laptops are expensive. However, if you're just after their timeless designs and you don't mind going for older models that aren't brand new, you can get one for less than $150! Here are a couple of refurbished MacBook deals from Walmart that you should check out if you're interested: the Apple MacBook Air 2015 for only $135, down $20 from its usual price of $155, and the Apple MacBook Pro 2012  for just $140, for $35 in savings on its regular price of $175. You're going to have to manage your expectations considering the low prices of these MacBooks though -- there may be some signs of wear and tear, which shouldn't be a surprise considering their age, but at the very least, these devices are tested for a guarantee that you'll receive them in working condition.
