With Christmas Eve just one week away, shoppers are scrambling to find the perfect gifts for their loved ones, and Apple has some deals too good to pass up. This year, popular Apple products like AirTags, Apple Watch Series 10, and various MacBook models are being offered at reduced prices, making them ideal gifts for tech enthusiasts or anyone on your holiday shopping list.
Retailers like Amazon and Best Buy have stepped up with substantial discounts to help customers avoid holiday stress. Amazon has price matched many items, ensuring timely delivery to those who hold Amazon Prime subscriptions, which is pivotal for last-minute shoppers.
Newly available doorbuster deals include Apple’s four-pack of AirTags for just $69.99, which is not only $29 off but also sets the record for their lowest price all year. These little gadgets are perfect for anyone who tends to misplace items, allowing users to track their belongings effortlessly through the Find My app. The AirTags' seamless integration with iPhones makes them easy to use—just one tap for pairing!
"At $70 for a pack of four, this is the lowest price we've seen for these Apple AirTags," noted CNET, emphasizing the utility and affordability of these trackers as excellent last-minute gifts.
The Apple Watch Series 10 emerges as another prime candidate for gifting this holiday season. With many configurations still priced similarly to Black Friday, it’s available with swift shipping before the holiday. Select options include the 42mm model at $330 (regularly $399) and the 46mm GPS+Cell version at $460 instead of $529. The sentiment among tech reviewers is clear: "The Apple Watch Series 10 is undeniably one of the best gifts you can wrap up this year," according to 9to5Toys.
For those interested in the latest Mac models, Best Buy offers some solid bargains. Shoppers can grab the 13-inch M3 MacBook Air 16GB/256GB for $899, down from $1,299, or the 15-inch version for $1,499, which is marked down from $1,899. Alternative options are still available on Amazon, though many configurations are beginning to slip past the holiday delivery deadline.
On the high-end, the M4 MacBook Pro also sees substantial savings, especially at Best Buy, where customers can still manage to find some models promising delivery before Christmas. A particularly appealing option is the 16-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro, priced at $2,699 instead of its regular $2,899, marking it as quite the steal for anyone considering upgrading their work laptop.
While the M2 MacBook Air remains available at discounted rates too, it’s the 1.5TB options like the M4 iPad Pro 11-inch which catch the eye for those after tablets. Prices for the iPad Pro now sit at $899 for the 256GB model, down from $999. With models like these, holiday shoppers can rest assured they’re choosing high-quality gifts.
For budget-conscious buyers, the 10th generation iPad, originally priced at $449, is currently listed at $279 at Best Buy, making it the most affordable current-generation iPad on the market. Customers who want casual Apple tablet experiences without the hefty price tag will find this option particularly enticing.
With holiday deals extending across Apple’s range, it’s clear there’s something for everyone this season. Shoppers should stay mindful of inventory stock, especially for popular items like the AirPods and MacBooks, by checking both online retailers and local stores for timely pickups.
To make the most out of your shopping, customers are encouraged to act quickly, as shipping deadlines to guarantee delivery by Christmas vary by retailer. Websites like Amazon and Best Buy provide shipping estimates and even options for store pickup to help complete your holiday shopping hassle-free.
Keep your eyes peeled for last-minute deals and be prepared to take advantage of them as soon as they appear—there's nothing like securing the perfect Apple product to light up someone's holiday!
