Apple may have an iron grasp on the general population, but when it comes down to it, their products look good, work well, and stay cutting-edge — so of course, people love 'em. Whether you build your calendar around Apple events or you just want solid tech no matter the brand, Apple's got you covered. Sure, they're a little notorious for their high prices, but we've rounded up the best deals on iPads, AirPods, MacBooks, and more to help you save where you can. Check them out below.

Why we like it

Check out Mashable's full review of the M2 MacBook Air.

The M2 MacBook Air's recently dropped to just $999, and though it's now sold out at that price, don't punch the air just yet — this deal from Best Buy is a decent consolation. While it's not at the same low price, you still get $150 off a laptop with M2 power that keeps things speedy and a upgraded design from Airs of the past. Mashable Tech Reporter Alex Perry deemed the Air "just about the ideal work-from-home (or work-from-wherever, really) companion" that has a "dreamy keyboard." If you're into a bit more built-in storage, the 512GB model is still $200 off, and at its lowest price ever.

Why we like it

The best iPad for most people is still the classic one, and at the time of writing, it's about $120 cheaper than its next-gen counterpart. We like the 9th generation because it doesn't come with the bumped-up price of last fall's 10th gen release, instead keeping things firmly in the entry-level tablet range. Despite not being the latest iteration, it still has up to 10 hours of battery life, a 10.2-inch Retina display, and more than enough processing power to get you through most standard tasks.

iPhone deals

Why we like it

Check out Mashable's official review of the iPhone 13 Mini.

The iPhone 14 may be the shiny new(est) phone in Apple's lineup, but the iPhone 13 is by no means outdated. Unlike newer models, you won't need a trade-in to score some savings with this Verizon deal. It'll get you a free 13 mini if you open a new line at Verizon on an unlimited plan.

Apple Watch deals

Why we like it

While it's not an essential upgrade, especially if you already have a Series 7 on your wrist, the latest gen does bring all the fitness features you've come to love, plus fertility tracking and crash detection. You'll want to grab it at this price while you can — between Walmart and Amazon, every basic colorway is on sale.

Read our full review of AirTags.

For Apple ecosystem loyalists who love to travel, the AirTag is nothing short of essential. They'll let you easily keep track of your keys and luggage alike, thanks to their year-long battery life and simple interface. It is important to note that there have been plenty of legit privacy concerns about AirTags thanks to their ability to be tracked outside of your Bluetooth range. Apple is still working to fully address the issue of "unwanted tracking" (i.e. stalking), but if you're really in need of a gadget to help you keep track of your things, the AirTag is worth considering — just be cautious.
