The best Cyber Monday Apple deals on AirPods, iPads, MacBooks and AirTags we could find

Apple was busy in 2024, with an iPad event in May, an iPhone event in September and a low-key Mac Week in October. Now that Cyber Monday is here, a surprising number of those shiny new Apple devices are on sale. While it’s hard to find straightforward, non-carrier deals on new iPhones, we’re seeing deals on the latest Apple Watch, the new AirPods 4 and the just-released M4 iMac.

Models that didn’t get a refresh this year, like the AirPods Pro 2 and the standard iPad, are also on sale. If you’ve had your eye on something but were waiting for a good sale, this is a good time to dive in as these Cyber Monday Apple deals represent some of the best prices we’ve seen all year.

The best Cyber Monday Apple AirPods deals

Apple has four models of AirPods right now: The AirPods Pro 2, the over-ear AirPods Max and two AirPods 4, one with active noise cancellation and one without. Apple has been doing a lot of interesting things with their headphones lately, making this a good time get a pair.

The best Cyber Monday Apple Watch deals

If you take steps or do a workout and you’re not wearing a smartwatch, does it really count? Of course, the Apple Watch is more than a fitness tracker, it’s also a shortcut to your iPhone notifications, a handy Siri portal and an always-on weather forecaster. Plus it tells time. While they’re not cheap, these Cyber Monday Apple Watch discounts should help.

The best Cyber Monday Apple iPad deals

The line between Apple’s tablets and laptops is a little blurry at this point, especially with the release of the iPad Pro this year, which (at the time) housed the company’s most powerful chip. The iPad Air is our current pick for the best iPad you can buy and we were delighted by the iPad mini that came out just last month. The only problem is iPads are among the more expensive tablets you can buy. Hopefully these Cyber Monday iPad deals help out.

• Apple iPad (2022, 10th gen) for $259 ($90 off): We saw Apple’s standard slate go as low as $250 at Amazon for Black Friday, which was a new all-time low price. But it seems to be going in and out of stock while the price fluctuates between $250 and $279 at both Amazon and Walmart. The standard iPad didn’t get an upgrade during Apple’s Let Loose event back in May, though it did get a quiet price reduction by $100 to $349, so this is between $75 and $100 off the list price. This is our current favorite budget iPad because it’s a capable tablet that’s great for casual browsing, streaming and gaming. It can even handle everyday productivity tasks well. Also at Amazon.

• Apple iPad (2021, 9th gen) for $200 ($129 off): Apple discontinued this model with the release of the new iPad Pro and Air models earlier this year. In what’s likely an effort to get rid of current stock, the price is down to a new record low. The 9th generation iPad is the former budget pick in our guide to the best Apple tablets and will serve well as a casual browsing, streaming and game playing machine.

• Apple iPad Pro (2024, 7th gen, 11-inch) for $899 ($100 off): The latest iPad Pro came out back in May and, notably, was the first Apple device to sport the M4 system-on-a-chip. We gave it an 84 in our review calling it an engineering marvel and the best screen our reviewer had ever seen. It’s also our pick for the best iPad for power users. The only problem is it’s very expensive, but this sale helps a little. Also at Amazon.

• Apple iPad Air (2024, 6th gen, 11-inch) for $499 ($100 off): The iPad Air is the Apple tablet we recommend for most people in our buying guide and it earned a high score of 91 in our review. It strikes the best balance between performance, price and features of all slabs in the lineup. It has an M2 chip which is really overkill for casual browsing and gaming, but will ensure that your tablet is compatible with the latest Apple Intelligence tricks and demanding games. Also at Amazon.

The best Cyber Monday Mac and MacBook deals

Apple held a quiet Mac Week at the tail end of October in which it announced the new desktop M4 Mac mini, the all-in-one M4 iMac and the M4 MacBook Pro laptop. The 2024 M3 MacBook Air from back in March is still the model we recommend for most people.

• Apple MacBook Air (2024, M3, 13-inch) for $899 ($200 off): Here’s a new all-time low on the latest MacBook Air. It’s our top pick for the best laptop for most people, and this model has 16GB of RAM built in — double the previous base amount so it can tackle the demands of the burgeoning Apple Intelligence. Also at B&H Photo for $200 off.

• Apple MacBook Air (2022, M2, 13-inch) for $749 ($250 off): The previous MacBook Air has a (still very fast) M2 processor and it’s our previous pick for the best overall laptop for most people. This is the 13-inch model with 16GB of RAM. This is a return to an all-time low. Also at Amazon.

• Apple iMac (2024, M4, 24-inch) for $1,208 ($149 off with coupon): Apple just released the refreshed iMac last month, but now the silver model is already on sale. It has the latest Apple silicon, the M4 system on a chip that gives it a speed boost and enables the new Apple Intelligence features in macOS Sequoia. Also at B&H Photo for $100 off.

• Apple MacBook Pro (2024, M4 Pro, 14-inch) for $1,399 ($200 off): Different colors are seeing different discounts, but this is the lowest we’ve seen the new MB Pro go in the month or so it’s been out. The main update Apple gave to its most powerful laptops is the faster than ever M4 chip. Not much else changed, but that’s not a bad thing as the Pros are excellent machines that we recommend to pro users. They have enough power to handle even the most demanding video, audio and any other productivity tasks you can throw at it.

The best Cyber Monday deals on Apple gear

• Apple AirTags (four-pack) for $73 ($27 off): These are the Bluetooth trackers we recommend if you have an iPhone. They allow you to keep track of your keys, wallet and other belongings using the Find My app and nearly every other nearby iPhone. Note that you’ll need an AirTag holder or case to use them with your keys and a new generation is rumored for next year. The record low for the four pack was $70 which we saw earlier this month, this deal is a few dollars more. Also at Walmart and Target.

• Apple Pencil Pro for $99 ($30 off): It’s true that you may need a roadmap to help you figure out which stylus is compatible with which iPad. The Pro is the newest Apple Pencil and it’ll work with the newest iPad Air and Pro models and adds haptic feedback, squeeze and barrel roll movements to the mix of features. The all-time low was $90, but this is still a decent deal. Also at Amazon.

• Apple Pencil (2nd gen, USB-C) for $69 ($10 off): The USB-C Apple Pencil was released late last year and effectively serves as Apple’s “budget” stylus. It works with the widest range of Apple tablets, though not all of them so check before you buy. This is about $4 more than the all-time low. Also at Amazon.

• Apple Pencil tips (4-pack) for $12 ($7 off): Search for Apple Pencil replacement tips and you’ll find plenty of third party manufacturers with options available. But this is one of the areas where I think it’s best to go with the original manufacturer. I bought these tips and they’ve served well — I just wish I’d paid $12 instead of $19.

• Apple Magic Mouse (Black) for $80 ($19 off): The black model of Apple’s popular mouse has an updated USB-C charging port but, confoundingly, it’s still on the bottom where you can’t use it while recharging. Still a charge will last for about month and it should reliably connect to any iPad or Mac you own.

• Apple Watch fast charger for $24 ($4 off): If you need to replace an aging Apple Watch charger, this might be the best time to buy. It’s a mild discount, but the lowest the official, Apple-made accessory has gone all year.

Expired Apple Cyber Monday deals

• Apple Mac mini (2024, M4) for $529 ($70 off): This is Apple’s $599 example of good things, small packages. It’s down to $529, which is about $30 more than it went for last week with a coupon, but if that deal doesn’t come back, this is still a decent discount on a brand new Mac. The five-inch by five-inch box can tackle some serious workloads and remains the most affordable entry point to accessing Apple’s latest silicon. We gave it a solid score of 90 in our review, praising the incredibly fast M4 chip and useful ports. Also at B&H Photo.

• Beats Studio Pro for $160 ($189 off): Apple famously paid a healthy sum to acquire Beats around a decade ago, so there may not be a bitten apple on the side, but these are nonetheless Apple products. We gave the Studio Pro headphones a review score of 81 when they came out last year, thanks to improved sound quality. They offer “near-zero” distortion, even at the highest volumes and go for 40 hours on a charge.
