We generally think that apple’s iPads are the best tablets for most people, but they often come cheap. To help those looking to grab one today get the best value, we’re keeping an eye on sales prices and rounding up the best iPad deals we can find each week.
Unfortunately, after the write-down of discounts we saw during Prime Day and other retailer sales last week, the options available are now back in the spotlight. Many models in the iPad, iPad Air and iPad Mini families have not been significantly reduced, and the new benefits of the iPad have just been announced on Wednesday, so no money has made deals with them yet. Call it the Pre-Black Friday Lull. That said, the higher power configurations of the Air and the base iPad are still on sale, including the 256GB version of the iPad (A16) for $50 off. And beyond tablets, we also see healthy amounts of Drops for devices such as Airpods 4, Airtags and Mac Mini. Here are all the top Apple Gear deals we can find this week.
The best iPad deals

The latest Invert-Level iPad comes with a faster A16 chip, 2GB more RAM and more storage. It scored 84 points in our review – If you only need a tablet for surfing the Internet, watching shows and doing some light tasks, it should do the job. With the latest iPados 26, it also has many of the same multitasking features found in more expensive models. It lacks the smartness of an apple, but for being stealthy, that’s not a big loss right now. This deal is not for the entire duration of the model with 256GB of storage but it takes $50 off Apple’s list price. And in good shopping.
$399 at Amazon
Apple iPad Air (11-Inch, M3, 1TB) for $949 ($150 off MSRP): The latest iPad Air is a minor update, as the only thing that isn’t major is a more powerful chip. However, we still recommend the Spirit over the base model in our iPad buying guide: Its display is polished, the color is very rich and it’s better at turning off the glare (although it’s still 60z); Its speakers are very strong; It works with Apple’s best accessories and its performance should hold up well in the years to come. This deal is only for the high-end model with 1TB of storage, but it ties the lowest price we’ve seen all the same.
Apple iPad Air (13-Inch, M3, 512GB, Cellular) for $1,000 ($250 off)Engadget’s NATE Ingraham gave the 13-inch iPad air 89 aves when it was released in March. It has a larger and slightly brighter display than its 11-inch counterpart but it’s similar in other ways. If you plan to keep your iPad up the keyboard, the extra space of the screen is desirable for rendering more or just taking movies. This discount is all time low, but it only applies to the 512GB model with built-in mobile support, so it’s not for everyone.

This version of Airpods 4 adds active noise cancellation (ANC), a wireless charging case and has received my follow-up support. They have the same open design, so the ANC doesn’t work as well as you’d get with a full-ear pair, but it still works for the ears even harder in noisy environments. We gave this pair 86 points in our review. This amount is like the best price we’ve seen. And at Walmart.
$119 at Amazon
Apple Airtags (4-Pack) for $65 ($34 off): We can see a renewed model at the end of the year, but the current airtags are Bluetooth Trackers for iPhone owners now because of their great Tech to find the network and their great tech that makes it easy to find things nearby. Just be aware that you will need a separate airtag holder to attach to your keys, wallet or purse. This deal comes within a dollar of the lowest price we’ve seen for a four-pack. And at Walmart.
Apple Pencil Pro for $99 ($30 off): The high-end option of Apple’s confusing stylus lineup, the pencil pro supports pressure sensitivity, wireless charging, one-touch detection, Apple’s feedback and fingertip, among other perks. A lovely tool for more complex drawing and note-taking, but the catch is that it’s only compatible with the M4 iPad Air and M3 iPad Air and M3 We’ve seen this work quite often during the year, but it’s a good discount compared to buying directly from apple. And at Walmart.
Apple MacCook Air (13-Inch, M4, 512GB) for $999 ($200 off): The latest MacAte MacBook Air picks at the top of our guide to the best laptops, and scored 92 points in our review. It’s not a huge leap, but the design is still very slick, light and well-built, with long battery life and a top-notch keyboard and trackpad. Now it’s a little faster. (Although we still like more ports and a refresh rate higher than 60hz.) This discount ties the entire model period with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD.
Apple Mac Mini (M4) for $499 ($100 off): The newest version of the Apple Desktop PC has the perfect small footprint, the fastest M4 Chip, 16GB of RAM as Usb-facing USB-CARTS, Thunderbolt 4 Port and the ability to drive three external displays. It doesn’t have any USB – yet. We gave the M4 Pro model a 90 review rating. This deal is for the entry-level version with the M4 Chip, 16GB of RAM and 256GB SSD – but this is still a good saving. And at best buy, walmart and B & h.
Apple IMAC (M4) for $1,149 ($150 Off): We like the M4 IMAC as an All-in-One Fact computer because of its powerful performance, standard 16GB of RAM and improved web cam. Just note that it only comes in a 24-inch screen size option. This performance in the basic model is not the cheapest, but it is about $40 lower than the average street price of a desktop and a good saving compared to buying directly from apple.
Apple Watch Series 11 (GPS, 42mm) for $389 ($10 OFF)): The latest Apple Watch hit store shelves last month, but Amazon is already selling it for $10 off. It doesn’t show as a percentage off, but you’ll see some models listed at $389 instead of Apple’s $399 MSRRP. If you’re new to Apple wearables or ready to upgrade from a Series 9 or higher, this is a great model to grab. If you’re coming from the 10 series, however, there isn’t much of an upgrade as the only major changes from last year’s model are a larger battery and a heavier screen.
Apple Watch Se 3 (GPS, 40mm) for $240 ($9 off): There is a similar discount for the new budget model, Apple Watch Se 3, on Amazon. It normally goes for $249 – again, not a huge discount, but better than that if you want to get on board early. Apple has given this model some much-needed updates compared to its predecessor, including a permanent display, faster charging, better sensors and the same processor you’ll find in the Apple Watch Seach 11.
