We’ve rounded up the best Apple deals on Apple Watches, iPads, iPhones, and MacBooks, as well as some must-have Apple accessories to pair with your new device.<\/b>
\nIf you count yourself among the many millions of people around the world who loves (or at least uses) one or more Apple products, then we don\u2019t have to explain why gadgets sporting that iconic Apple logo remain so popular. Sleek modern designs, no-nonsense reliability, intuitive software, and industry-leading build quality are just a few reasons why so many flock to Apple again and again, and the fact that Apple products remain status symbols doesn\u2019t hurt, either. This stuff isn\u2019t usually inexpensive, but this roundup of this week\u2019s best cheap Apple deals and sales is your chance to score some shiny new Apple kit on the cheap. Looking for something in particular? Check out our other roundups of AirPods deals, Apple Watch deals, iPad deals, iPhone deals, and MacBook deals for even more savings. Smartwatches never became the next smartphones, but the Apple Watch is the one smartwatch that has managed to enjoy widespread popularity. Apple updated its WatchOS-powered smart wearable last year, releasing the excellent \u2014 and pricey \u2014 new Apple Watch Series 6. The Apple Watch Series 5 and Apple Watch Series 6 refined everything we loved about previous models. The fifth-gen version brought design to near perfection with great software, a vibrant always-on display, and an excellent set of health and fitness-tracking features. We\u2019ve also seen some fantastic discounts in the wake of the Series 6 release that bring the Series 5 closer in price (or even cheaper than) the now-discontinued Series 4, making now a particularly perfect time to buy the Apple Watch Series 5 if you\u2019ve been on the fence and waiting for a deal. Apple released its 8th-gen iPad last year, and aside from incremental hardware changes, the new 2020 model didn\u2019t really re-invent the wheel. Yet given how good these tablets are and the value they provide, that\u2019s just fine with us, and there\u2019s never really a bad time to score the new 10.2-inch iPad at a discount as retailers offer them on sale pretty much year-round. When it was first on the market, our review team named the 7th-gen 10.2-inch iPad the best tablet for most people thanks to its superb touchscreen, solid performance, and great overall design and build quality. That hasn\u2019t changed with the new 8th-gen refresh, which is now the one we recommend you buy. It\u2019s an even easier sell given how affordable it is relative to other much pricier Apple devices like the iPad Pro line. The iPhone 12 series is Apple\u2019s current flagship smartphone line, and with it, Apple built upon its three-phone release strategy by rolling out four new devices this time around: the iPhone 12, the pocket-friendly iPhone 12 Mini, the higher-end iPhone 12 Pro, and the up-sized iPhone 12 Pro Max. The iPhone 12 and 12 Mini are the more affordable models (the iPhone 12 Mini retails for just $700, in contrast to the $1,000 sticker price for the 12 Pro), and they\u2019re both winners. All four 12th-gen iPhones look great, feel great, deliver snappy performance thanks to the new A14 Bionic chip, and boast an excellent camera modules. The iPhone 12 is truly the everyman\u2019s mobile, and as the current-gen iPhone, it also has the benefit of being available with some of the best carrier discounts and rebates at the moment. With modern laptops getting slimmer and slimmer, the MacBook Air is almost redundant now, but it still does its thing very well. That should come as no shock considering that Apple wrote the book in super-slim laptops with the MacBook Air, and its late 2020 model makes for a fantastic featherweight work machine now that it comes loaded with Apple\u2019s superb new M1 CPU. On the standard latest MacBook Air, that M1 chip is paired with 8GB RAM (perfectly respectable hardware for work, browsing, and streaming) along with a 128GB solid state drive. One thing we didn\u2019t like about the Intel Core MacBook Air was its launch price, but the addition of that M1 CPU make it much more attractive and it\u2019s still the cheapest entry point into the MacBook ecosystem \u2014 especially if you can find a good deal.<\/p>\n
