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.

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.

We awarded this model 4.5 stars out of five in our MacBook Pro 14-inch (M4) review, praising the overall performance, elegant design and long-lasting battery.

Apple iPad A16 (2025)
Apple iPad A16 (2025): was $349 now $299 at Best Buy

The latest Apple iPad A16 is $50 off at Best Buy, though this has settled as a fairly standard price for the entry-level tablet. I've seen it for $20 less before as well, but this deal is well worth taking advantage of if you have an eye on the latest 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)
Apple iPad Air 11-inch (M3, 2025): was $599 now $449 at Best Buy

There's a solid $150 discount on the newest iPad Air with the M3 chip on Best Buy, bringing it down to a record-low price. This model was a somewhat surprising update given the M2 version only just launched last year, but both devices are around the same price, so you may as well get the newer version. As well as that 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.

Apple iPad Air 13-inch (M3, 2025)
Apple iPad Air 13-inch (M3, 2025): was $799 now $649 at Best Buy

If you prefer a larger display, you can also save $150 on the newest 13-inch iPad Air with an M3 chip on 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.

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 brand-new M4 chip, high-quality tandem OLED display and twice as much storage (256GB) as standard. Expect this to be one of the better offers we see in the early days of the tablet's life.

Apple  iPad mini (A17 Pro)
Apple iPad mini (A17 Pro): was $499 now $379 at Best Buy

The Apple iPad mini is a fantastic small-form all-rounder. The powerful A17 Pro chip makes this the ideal tablet for pro users 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 beautifully portable but large enough to enable tablet video editing. A discount of $120 drops it to a record-low price.

Apple AirPods 4
Apple AirPods 4: was $129 now $99 at Best Buy

If you want to get your hands on Apple's newest AirPods 4, you can find them on sale for $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. The version with noise-cancellation is also on sale for $149.99.

Apple AirPods Pro 2

Here's another chance to get one of the best discounts I've seen on the latest generation Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C support. As well as that more universal connection option, Apple's newest premium earbuds come with sought-after improvements to audio quality and noise cancellation. In our AirPods Pro 2 review, we said that these upgrades ensured they were a big step up compared to the originals and helped them truly compete with other high-end buds.

Apple Watch Series 10
Apple Watch Series 10: was $399 now $299 at Best Buy

The Apple Watch 10 is the manufacturer's latest flagship smartwatch and it's back to the lowest-ever price at Best Buy. All of its upgrades are integrated into a thinner, more comfortable body. It includes advanced health features like ECG for monitoring heart irregularities, overnight metrics to identify issues like sleep apnea, and more. Like past models, it remains an ideal fitness partner that can track activity level and health metrics and push you toward your fitness goals.

Apple Watch SE 2
Apple Watch SE 2: was $249 now $169 at Best Buy

A $80 discount brings this affordable entry-level Apple Watch down to $169 – that's just $20 more than the Black Friday deal. It might be Apple's budget-friendly option but it still looks great and functions smoothly in that classic Apple way. For the price, you can enjoy fitness and sleep tracking, heart rate monitoring, and car-crash detection.

Apple Watch Ultra 2
Apple Watch Ultra 2: was $799 now $649.99 at Best Buy

With the best display around, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 looks gorgeous and is also very powerful. It offers advanced metrics, highly precise GPS, and offline map functionality.

Apple AirTag (4 Pack)

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 $79.99. 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.
