Table of Contents
Apple’s standard current-model AirPods are marked down to $129 right now for the standard version with wired charging, with the full savings appearing at checkout. That’s $30 off. They don’t have the active noise cancellation or silicone tips of the AirPods Pro, but they deliver great sound and excellent convenience. You can also grab a pair with a wirelessly-chargeable case for $160, or $39 off the list price.

AirPods Pro | $209
Apple undoubtedly sold massive numbers of the premium AirPods Pro over the holidays, when you could find them at their lowest price… but the savings had subsided quite a bit over the last few weeks. No more: Amazon now has them for $40 off the list price. These higher-end true wireless buds pack in active noise canceling to block external sound, fit better thanks to silicone tips, and have a wirelessly-chargeable case. If you held out, this is the best deal we’ve seen in a while.
RAVPower MagSafe Charger | $25

The new iPhone 12 has a neat feature: a MagSafe magnetic anchor that you can attach accessories to, such as the MagSafe Charger for speedy wireless charging. Problem is, the official Apple solution will run you $58 between the charging pad and wall charger.
Save a bundle instead by buying RAVPower’s own third-party MagSafe Charger, which comes with both the snap-on charging pad and wall adaptor for just $25 at Amazon right now. Just clip the coupon on the page.
RAVPower 20W USB-C Charger (2-Pack) | $18

On the other hand, if you’re just looking for 20W wired wall adapters to ensure you can charge your iPhone at full speed around your home, here’s a bargain: RAVPower is offering a two-pack of these compact power bricks for just $18 when you clip the coupon on the page. They’re tiny like the old iPhone chargers that came in the box, but deliver significantly more power.
iPad (8th Gen) | $299
You can get a solid discount on the new core iPad, which is already marked down $30 soon after its release. Unlike the redesigned iPad Air, this entry-level iPad still looks the same as the old one, but it has a faster A12 Bionic chip inside (comparable to iPhone XS). The 32GB model is available at Amazon for $299 in Gold and Space Gray, while the higher-capacity 128GB model is $34 off list price at $395 in the same colors.
Apple Watch SE | $269-$294
The new Apple Watch SE is the best option for most prospective buyers, carrying the most important core features of the pricier Apple Watch Series 6 with just a smidge less power and a $120 savings.
Right now, you can get the Apple Watch SE for even less at Amazon, where both the 40mm and 44mm sizes are marked down. The entry-level 40mm model is marked down $10 to $269, while 44mm model is $294 right now.
Apple Watch Series 6 | $339-409
Amazon is slicing up to $60 off the list price of the new Apple Watch Series 6 in certain colors for the 40mm size, while the 44mm edition is $20 less than usual. These latest watches are a bit faster thanks to a new processor and add extra health functionality, such as a blood oxygen sensor. And unlike the cheaper Apple Watch SE, they have the always-on display.
MacBook Pro (M1) | $1,222
MacBook Pros were already pretty powerful, but with Apple’s new M1 chip in place of the old Intel chips, they’re even more powerful. Like, by a lot. It’s wild.
And if you want to snag one of those brand new MacBook Pro models, Amazon is already taking $77 off the list price for the 256GB base model in Space Gray (full savings at checkout). The larger 512GB version in Silver is marked down $100, meanwhile.
iPad Air (4th Gen) | $559
Apple’s brand new iPad Air might not be billed as the highest-end model of the bunch, but it has the newest and fastest processor and cribs the sleek design from the pricier, perk-packed iPad Pro. In short: it hits the sweet spot in terms of power and price, and right now you can save an additional $40 off certain colors at Amazon. Check for current availability.
Mac Mini (M1) | $668-859
Apple’s powerful new M1 chip isn’t relegated to laptops right now: you can also grab a compact Mac Mini desktop and get way more power than past generations. Amazon has the base 256GB model for $668, which is $31 off, or 512GB version for $859, which is $40 off of the list price.
Apple iPad Pro (11in) | $759
Clip the coupon on the page
Last year’s current-gen 11-inch iPad Pro has undoubtedly been undercut a bit by the new iPad Air, which has a similar design, near-identical screen size, and a smidge more processing power. But the Pro still has some notable benefits over the Air: the smooth 120Hz ProMotion display, LiDAR sensor for augmented reality smarts, and Face ID security. And right now, you can save a total of $40 off at Amazon when you clip the coupon on the page.
Beats PowerBeats Pro | $160
Beats’ PowerBeats Pro are some of the best true wireless earbuds you’ll find for working out, and right now Amazon is slashing $90 off the list price for the Lava Red edition. Other colors cost a bit more more, but if you’re not picky, then go for the savings. These bad boys have built-in earclips and pair easiest with recent Apple devices thanks to the H1 chip, plus they provide up to 9 hours of listening per charge.
Beats Solo3 Wireless On-Ear Headphones | $137
If you’re keen on cans instead of earbuds, Apple’s Beats brand has a solid deal on Solo3 wireless headphones right now. They’re $63 off the list price right now at Amazon, but only in black. Other options cost more, but be sure to double-check in case anything changes. Whatever you choose, you’ll get wireless headphones that pair easily with an iPhone and offer up to 40 hours of battery life.
iPhone XR (Renewed, Unlocked) | $329+
If you’re on the hunt for a large, semi-recent iPhone that you can take to any network, this iPhone XR deal might be up your alley. It has a sizable 6.1” screen, is available in a handful of eye-catching colors, and the A12 Bionic processor is still plenty speedy compared to the top-end competition of today. It’s more than $300 off the original new list price when you buy this certified renewed version from Amazon, which is unlocked. The price varies slightly based on which color you choose.
MacBook Pro 16” | $2,199
Apple’s biggest current MacBook Pro model is a wallet-buster, as you might expect, but at least Amazon is slashing some cash off right now. The 16″ Space Gray base model is $200 off right now, snagging you a powerful notebook ideal for creative work via an Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB RAM, and a meaty 512GB of internal storage. Meanwhile, the Core i9 version with 1TB storage is $299 off the list price (full savings at checkout).
iMac (21.5-inch) | $1,349
Apple’s MacBook laptops are popular, but if you want a big, beefy Mac with a hell of a screen, you can’t go wrong with an iMac. The all-in-one desktop has a big 21.5-inch screen at a blistering 4K resolution, and pairs that with an Intel Core i5 chip and 256GB of storage. Save $150 off the base model at Amazon or B&H right now.
