If you want to get your hands on Apple's newest AirPods 4, you can find them on sale for $79.99 at Best Buy. The AirPods 4 feature a new design for all-day comfort and pack Apple's H2 chip, which supports personalized spatial audio and voice isolation. You're also getting a redesigned case with 30 hours of battery life and support for USB-C for wireless charging. Just be aware that this cheaper version does not support active noise cancellation.

Willing to spend a bit more? Best Buy's latest Apple sale also has the AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation in stock and reduced to $149.99. This isn't the best offer, given that they were down to $99.99 just last week. Still, if you must buy now, these AirPods 4 feature a new comfortable design, handy controls, and Apple's H2 chip, which supports personalized spatial audio and voice isolation – alongside that all important ANC.

Apple AirPods Pro 3

No, it's not a massive discount. But it's still a decent one, and it's the first real deal on them, taking 40% off the usual price of Apple's newest and most advanced ANC earbuds. The main difference between the Pro 3 and Pro 2 is the addition of heart rate sensing, although if you have an Apple Watch, you've got that covered already.

Apple Watch Series 11

Amazingly, the latest Apple Watch 11 is now even cheaper than it was on Black Friday. The thinnest Apple Watch yet, with a wraparound LTP3 OLED display, it's a great-looking watch with Apple Intelligence-powered smarts and a boosted battery compared to previous Apple Watches, clocking in at 24 hours of average use.

Apple Watch SE 3

This $50 discount on the new Apple Watch SE 3 is an excellent bargain. The Apple Watch SE 2 currently holds the position as the best budget smartwatch, but the SE 3 more than matches it – and it's a smarter buy while it's on sale for this lower price.

Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (M4)
Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (M4): was $999 now $799 at Best Buy
Read moreRead less

Display - 13.6 inches
Processor - Apple M4
RAM - 16GB
Storage - 256GB

This MacBook Air with the M4 chip is the latest version of Apple's popular laptop and it's now available for just $50 more than the record-low price on Best Buy. You get a great-looking 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, while the boost to 16GB of RAM keeps all your programs running smoothly. It's just a shame Apple still insists on only 256GB of storage as standard, which feels a little miserly in 2025. Nevertheless, this is still one of the best laptops you can buy if you need a performance powerhouse for productivity and creative tasks.

Apple MacBook Air 15-inch (M4)

Display - 15 inches
Processor - Apple M4
RAM - 16GB
Storage - 256GB

It may essentially be just a larger version of the 13-inch MacBook Air, but if that's what you want, then that's what you get – and it's now available at its lowest-ever price on Best Buy. Our MacBook Air 15-inch review praised the display, performance, design and speaker array, although we did think the jump in size hurt one of the MacBook Air's key selling points – its portability. Nevertheless, this is still an impressive and well-rated laptop.

Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch (M5, 2025)
Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch (M5, 2025): was $1,599 now $1,349 at Best Buy
Read moreRead less

Display - 14 inches
Processor - Apple M5
RAM - 16GB
Storage - 512GB

Apple's powerful MacBook Pro with the latest M5 chip and a decent 512GB of storage is down to a record-low price on Best Buy. Boasting that powerful M5 chip, a gorgeous liquid retina display and an impressive 18 hours of battery life, this is a complete creative workstation. We awarded this model a solid four stars out of five in our MacBook Pro 14-inch (M5) review, praising the overall performance, elegant design and long-lasting battery, but we were disappointed by the lack of a larger redesign and over-emphasis on AI features instead of other useful upgrades.

Apple iPad A16 (2025)
Apple iPad A16 (2025): was $349 now $279 at Best Buy
Read moreRead less

The latest Apple iPad A16 is back to its lowest-ever price at Best Buy, so this deal is well worth taking advantage of if you have an eye on the entry-level Apple slate. The biggest upgrade compared to the previous generation model is the latest A16 chip for faster performance. You also get double the storage of 128GB as standard, a sharp 11-inch Liquid Retina display, and solid 12MP front and back cameras.

Apple iPad Air 11-inch (M3, 2025)

There's a solid $100 discount on the newest iPad Air with the M3 chip at Best Buy, although it has been $50 cheaper before. This model was a somewhat surprising update, given that the M2 version only just launched last year, but you may as well get the newer version. As well as a more powerful chip, the latest iPad Air boasts a crisp Liquid Retina display, 128GB of storage as standard, 12MP front and back cameras, and support for Apple Intelligence AI features.

If you prefer a larger display, you can also save $100 on the newest 13-inch iPad Air with an M3 chip at Best Buy. Apart from the bigger screen, it's identical to the 11-inch version. So, you get the same powerful M3 chip, a sharp Liquid Retina display, 12MP front and back cameras, 128GB of storage at a minimum, and Apple Intelligence compatibility for all the fancy new AI features. Again, though, this has been available for $50 less in the past.

Apple iPad Pro 11-inch (M4, 2024)
Apple iPad Pro 11-inch (M4, 2024): was $999 now $899 at Best Buy

There's a $100 saving on the latest iPad Pro 11-inch at Best Buy, which brings it back down to the record-low price from Black Friday. This is still a pricey tablet that's $200 more than the base price for both previous-generation models, but you do get the updated M4 chip, a high-quality tandem OLED display and twice as much storage (256GB) as standard.

Apple  iPad mini (A17 Pro)

The Apple iPad mini is over a year old now, but it's still a fantastic small-form all-rounder tablet. The powerful A17 Pro chip makes this the ideal slate for enthusiasts who need that extra level of performance but in a much smaller package. We love the 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display, which is small enough to make the device easily portable but large enough to enable tablet video editing. A discount of $100 drops it to within $20 of its lowest-ever price.

Apple AirTag (4 Pack)
Apple AirTag (4 Pack): was £99 now £74.99 at Best Buy

The best-selling Apple AirTag has been discounted a lot more lately, but if you missed the previous offer, you can now get this four-pack for a solid price of $74.99. These are a great way to keep track of a child's backpack or anything you don't want to lose. Just attach the Apple AirTag and your iPhone will locate it with a touch of a button.
