iMac and MacBook deals

Why we like it

Check out our full review of the 15-inch M3 MacBook Air.

We love seeing a nice discount on a newer Apple release, and that’s exactly the case in with this M3 MacBook Air. The larger screen makes the new Air a great choice for folks who need more space to work, especially for creative tasks like video or photo editing. The M3 chip will give you plenty of power for your workflow, and, especially with the price drop, this Air is a more affordable alternative to the 14-inch MacBook Pro.

iPad deals

Why we like it

Check out our full review of the iPad mini.

The new iPad Air and iPad Pro are finally here, but in terms of money saving, we’re looking at this tiny tablet from 2021. While this deal price does situate the iPad mini just 99 cents away from its lowest price ever, we have seen it jump down to this price a few times this year already. Still, we’re fans of its portability and stereo speakers and recommend it for anyone who uses their iPad as a content-consuming machine first and foremost.

At the time of writing, the 2022 iPad Air is also $100 off, but that’s actually not all that impressive of a deal for the tablet, especially considering it puts it $50 away from its lowest price ever and just $100 away from the newer, upgraded Air.

iPhone deals

Why we like it

Read our full review of the iPhone 15.

The iPhone 15 hasn’t really received the “get it free” deal treatment since it’s been on the market. Although this particular deal comes with the standard caveats of requiring a new line and particular cell phone plan, it’s still one of the best we’ve seen on this phone. With its USB-C charging port, Dynamic Island, and 48-megapixel camera, it is, as Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder calls it in his review, one of “the best new iPhones for most people.”

Apple Watch deals

Why we like it

Check out our full review of the Apple Watch Series 9.

The Series 9 is $100 off at Walmart and Amazon, making the hit of losing the blood oxygen sensor much more palatable. For anyone tired of squinting at your smartwatch display on a sunny day, you’ll appreciate this watch’s peak brightness of 2,000 nits — this was one of our reviewer’s favorite features of the Series 9. Of course, you’ll also get Double Tap, a snappy processor, and more storage than previous generations.

AirPods and Apple accessories deals

Why we like it

Check out our full review of the USB-C AirPods Pro.

The AirPods Pro are just 99 cents away from their lowest price ever, just in time to get the perfect last-minute Mother’s Day present. We love these earbuds for their easy pairing to Apple devices and exceptional noise-cancellation, and we recommend them for travelers and iPhone users in particular.
