Memorial Day Apple sales 2024: FAQs

When is Memorial Day 2024?

Memorial Day 2024 falls on Monday, May 27. Memorial Day is an American federal holiday that always falls on the last Monday in May to honor the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military.

When do Memorial Day Apple sales start?

Generally speaking, Memorial Day sales on tech products tend to be concentrated around Memorial Day itself, the preceding weekend, and in some cases the preceding week too. We usually see the big hardware stores like Lowes and Home Depot begin their Memorial Day sales in early May, but the tech retailers like Amazon and Best Buy usually kick off their sales later in the month.

For Memorial Day Apple deals specifically, based on previous events we'd say it's a great idea to keep an eye out from Monday, May 20th onwards but don't be in a rush to pick anything up. Retailers are likely to reserve their best deals for Monday, May 27, so if you want to snag the lowest price possible, you should wait for Memorial Day proper.

Last year's best Apple deals

Apple Watch SE, 2022 (GPS, 40mm): was ~~$249~~ now $219 at Amazon
You can get the <a href="https://www.techradar.com/reviews/apple-watch-se-2" data-link-merchant="techradar.com"">2022 Apple Watch SE on sale for $219 at Amazon right now. That's the lowest price we've ever seen and the best-value Apple Watch you can buy right now. While the Apple Watch SE lacks all the bells and whistles found on the Apple Watch 8, it still packs a fast processor, great battery life, and new health and fitness features.

Apple iPad 10.9 2022 (64GB): ~~$449~~ $399 at Amazon
Apple's <a href="https://www.techradar.com/reviews/ipad-109-2022-review" data-link-merchant="techradar.com"">10th-generation iPad is now available for its lowest-ever price at Amazon. With this tablet, Apple successfully migrated the base iPad from its classic, first-gen Air looks to an iPad Pro-influenced design, and the result is a high-quality, versatile device that will satisfy the broadest set of users, from fun lovers and content consumers to those looking to get some work done.

Apple iPad 10.2 2021 (64GB): was ~~$329~~ now $269 at Amazon
If you're looking for a cheap iPad in today's Memorial Day sales, Apple's <a href="https://www.techradar.com/reviews/new-ipad-102-2021" data-link-merchant="techradar.com"">10.2-inch iPad is on sale for a record-low of $269. While it's not the speediest tablet in the range, a decent screen, quality design, and relatively speedy chip make this the iPad that best suits most people's needs. For streaming, shopping, and doing a few light work tasks, it's a great choice, especially with today's $60 discount.

Apple iPhone 14: <a href="https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-6361382-15733793?sid=hawk-custom-tracking&url=https://www.verizon.com/smartphones/apple-iphone-14/" data-link-merchant="verizon.com"">up to $800 off with trade, plus free iPad and Apple Watch at Verizon
Verizon's iPhone deals on the iPhone 14 offer the usual trade trade-in rebate of up to $800 but you can also take advantage of a limited-time-only option to bundle in a free iPad and Apple Watch. These are substantial freebies but the caveat here is that you still need that unlimited data plan to be eligible - and you'll need to pay for the lines on the freebies. Caveats aside, however, this is a super strong deal that's worth taking advantage of.

Apple MacBook Air, M1 (2020): was ~~$999.99~~ now $799.99 at Amazon
The 2020 Apple MacBook Air with an M1 chip is older now, but it's still one of the best laptops ever made. With this Memorial Day deal, the device that we awarded 4.5 stars out of five in our <a href="https://www.techradar.com/reviews/apple-macbook-air-m12020" data-link-merchant="techradar.com"">MacBook Air M1 review is now back down to its lowest-ever price at Amazon. Apple's premium device is fast, responsive, beautifully designed, and has a long-lasting battery life.
