Whether you’re looking to gift an Apple product or just pick one up for yourself, we’ve scoured the web for the best prices on everything from Macs to MacBooks, iPads to iPhones, Apple Watches to Apple TVs, and more.

Apple rarely discounts its own products–even during its annual Black Friday shopping event, which ran from Friday, November 28, to Monday, December 1, 2024–instead it elects to give out gift cards rather than actual price reductions. Apple does offer year-round discounts to students, including a Back To School event where further-education students can get up to $150 in gift cards when purchasing certain Apple products. There’s also the Apple Refurbished Store where you can sometimes grab a bargain.

But, if you want a new Apple device right now, other stores often offer up Apple discounts worth grabbing. In this article, you’ll find the top discounts we’ve seen. Plus, for even more deals, we’ve linked to our dedicated deals round-ups for each product category.

Use the table of contents to jump to the best deals right now for the Apple product you want—including the new iPhone 16, Apple Watch Series 10, AirPods 4, iPad mini, and all the M4 Macs, which were announced this fall.

Best AirPods deals

AirPods Pro 2

Foundry

New AirPods were announced by Apple in September 2024. We saw some deals on the AirPods 4 over Black Friday, and, at least in the U.S., those discounts appear to be continuing for now.

Following the launch of new AirPods, the AirPods 2nd-gen and AirPods 3rd-gen were discontinued. You may therefore see deals on those older products until stock runs out, however, we recommend that instead of buying discounted AirPods 3 you consider the even cheaper AirPods 4 without ANC, which start at $129/£129. The AirPods 2 would have to have a really low price to make them a good deal.

Apple also introduced a USB-C equipped AirPods Max in new colors and discontinued the older Lightning-equipped models. If you see the Lightning model at a good discount it’s worth buying.

Best iPhone and accessory deals

iPhone 14 Home Screen

In the U.S. specific iPhone deals are hard to come by apart from carrier offers for new signups and trade-ins. We recommend checking Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile’s sites if you’re looking to change carriers or add a new line. Apple also offers trade-ins and carrier deals through its website. We also recommend that you look at our round-up of iPhone 14 deals as well as iPhone 15 deals for U.S. readers, and with the arrival of the iPhone 16 we will be tracking Where to get the best iPhone 16, Plus, Pro, and Pro Max deals in the U.S.

In the U.K., we frequently see Apple-certified resellers discount unlocked iPhones. Look for money off at Amazon, Currys, and Very. We are recording all the best prices of iPhone 15 in the U.K. separately and we are tracking the best deals for the iPhone 16, Plus, Pro, and Pro Max separately.

It is possible to find discounts on most iPhones in the UK, including older/discontinued handsets, including the following deals, but remember Apple has reduced pricing in the U.K. for the new range of handsets, so the discounts may not be as good as they look.

Best Apple Watch deals

Apple Watch Series 7

The Apple Watch Series 10 arrived in September 2024. It’s going to be a while until we start to see discounts, but when we do you’ll find them here. The arrival of the Series 10 marks the end of the Apple Watch Series 9, which Apple discontinued. The Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Ultra 2 haven’t been updated and remain on sale.

Best MacBook deals

13-inch Macbook Pro

IDG

Apple released new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M4/M4 Pro/M4 Max processors in October 2024. Prices stayed the same, but the new base model now starts with 16GB of RAM.

The MacBook Air, while still running on the M3 chip had a Unified Memory update in October 2024 and now ships with 16GB RAM as standard. Beware that some deals on the older models may be as good now that you can get double the memory for the same price and if you are outside the U.S. note that the prices of the new models are now lower than the old models were at launch.

iMac

Apple released the M4 iMac and M4/M4 Pro Mac mini in October 2024. All models now start at 16GB RAM and the Mac mini has a completely new design with a smaller case and front-facing ports. Also note that if you are outside the U.S. prices on the new M4 Mac mini and M4 iMac are lower than they were, so the discounts may not be as good as they look when compared to the new models.
