The best Apple deals we can find during the Amazon Big Spring Sale

the AirPods Pro It’s still on sale for $189, which matches the lowest price yet for the model with a USB-C charging case. We’ve been seeing this deal on Amazon for most of the past few months, but it’s still $60 less than buying from Apple directly, so it’s hard to complain. This offer is also available in Best buy.

The AirPods Pro are a “Best for iOS” pick in our guide to the best wireless earbuds: they look beautiful, their ANC is strong enough for most situations, and, most notably, they offer several unique perks when connected to another Apple device. From faster pairing to hands-free Siri to adaptive EQ. The built-in microphone isn’t the best for calls, and the six-hour battery life is okay, but this is still a good option if you’re an Apple subscriber. We gave the second-generation AirPods Pro a score of 88 in our review. It is worth noting that the new noise-canceling AirPods may arrive later this year, according to BloombergMark GormanBut an updated version of the AirPods Pro specifically isn’t expected until 2025.

second generation Apple Pencil It’s back to $79, which is another deal we’ve seen a few times in recent months but still matches the pen’s all-time low. Apple typically sells this model for $129, though it’s often at a lower price at third-party retailers. Discount is also available at Walmart And Best buy. We recommend the second-generation Pencil in our guide to the best iPad accessories. It’s the only stylus that supports pressure sensitivity across iPadOS, so it’s always precise when drawing and taking notes. Since it can be attached to the side of the iPad magnetically, it’s easy to connect and charge as well. Just make sure your Tablet PC compatible Firstly.

But note that so is Apple Planning is said To release a new pencil soon, probably as soon as next week. It’s not clear exactly what upgrades this new model will include, but if you want the latest and greatest, it’s worth the wait. However, we expect any next-gen Pencil to start at a higher price than this discount, so this is still a good opportunity to save.

The latest MacBook Air was only announced a couple of weeks ago, so we haven’t seen any massive discounts yet. However, if you are looking to upgrade early,… Entry level 13- And 15 inch models $50 off each at Amazon. That drops the former price to $1,050 and the latter to $1,250 — nothing huge, obviously, but still a bit better than buying from Apple.

We gave the new MacBook Airs a review score of 90 and now consider it a top pick in our laptop buying guide. Neither model represents a radical departure from its predecessor, but that’s not a bad thing: This design was already thin, light, and well-made, with an accurate display, comfortable keyboard and trackpad, long battery life, and enough performance for mainstream use. Now, it’s a little more powerful thanks to the upgraded M3 chipset; They support faster Wi-Fi 6E connections; They can output to two external displays (albeit only when the laptop lid is closed). Just remember that these entry-level models only have 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, so you should only buy one if you’re going to stick to less demanding tasks.

We will notice that MacBook Air 13 inch M2 Also on sale for $899 at B&H. That’s $100 off Apple’s list price. This model won’t be quite as fast or future-proof as the last version, but it’s very similar otherwise, so it’s still worth considering if you really want to save money. stop now M1 MacBook Air, meanwhile, it’s now priced at $699 at Walmart. This model is a noticeable step down from the M2 or M3 models, but at this price it’s still fast and reliable enough that it makes sense for those desperate to buy a MacBook at the lowest possible price.

the Beats Studio Buds+ They’re back on sale for $130 in various colors, which is roughly $20 off the average street price of true wireless earbuds and $40 off Beats’ list price. The only time we’ve seen them go for less was a brief drop to $120 on Black Friday. This deal is also available at other retailers, including Goal, Best buy And Bosnia and Herzegovina.

We gave the Studio Buds+ a review score of 84 last year. Since Beats is an Apple company, this pair offers many of the iOS-compatible perks you can get from a set of AirPods, like faster pairing, Find Tracking, hands-free Siri and Control Center Fusion. Unlike AirPods, they offer similar features on Android as well. The comfortable fit, decent ANC, and mostly neutral sound profile also help. However, other AirPods features such as Share audio And Automatic device switching (With Apple Gear) Not supported, wireless charging or wear detection is not supported. The ANC technology and sound quality are a step down from the AirPods Pro. However, if you’re after style and want to save some cash, the Studio Buds+ are worth considering.

As of this writing, iPad 10th generation Available for $349 at Amazon and Best buy. This ties an all-time low for a 10.9-inch list and comes in at $100 less than Apple’s list price. We wouldn’t be surprised if this device gets a permanent price cut when the new Air and Pro models are announced, but it’s solid value with this discount either way. We gave the 10th-gen iPad a review score of 85 back in 2022. It lacks the laminated display, M-series chip, and Pencil support of the 2nd-gen iPad Air, but its design is mostly similar, it’s very fast for reading and streaming, and it gets the same battery life Which is 10 hours. The front camera is also located on the natural edge, which is a more natural area for making FaceTime calls.

the iPad minimeanwhile, is available for $400 at Amazon and Goal. This is another discount we’ve seen over the past few months, but it’s still $100 off Apple’s MSRP. Released in September 2021, this device is overdue for a refresh, but it remains the only compact tablet in Apple’s lineup. It’ll make more sense if you want to treat your iPad like a high-end e-reader, because it’s the easiest model to hold with one hand and put in a bag. It’s still durable and fast enough for the basics beyond that, plus it works with the second-generation Apple Pencil. You probably won’t want to use an 8.3-inch tablet for any serious work.
