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.
MacBooks aren’t known for their affordable entry point, but at $800, the M1 Air provides just that. While this laptop isn’t built to be an all-in-one powerhouse for intensive work, it will handle basic tasks like internet browsing, word processing, and streaming video. If you’re looking for an everyday laptop for everyday needs, the ultra-portable Air is the way to go — and at $799.99, it’s only 99 cents away from its lowest price ever.

The best iPad for most people is still the classic one, and at the time of writing, it’s about $180 cheaper than its next-gen counterpart and back down to its lowest price ever. 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.

Read our full review of the second-generation AirPods Pro.
Although the second-gen AirPods Pro were “not the huge update we were hoping for,” as Mashable senior editor Stan Schroeder put it, they still make some nice improvements on the previous gen, which were already a great pair of earbuds. The active noise cancellation is even more effective, and the battery lasts up to six hours. At $195, they’ve officially hit their lowest price ever.
