New Apple products are expected next week — here are 12 deals on older models I’d buy right now

This four-pack of best-selling Apple AirTags is on sale for $64, just a few dollars shy of the record-low price. A great way to keep track of a child's backpack or luggage, the AirTag can be attached to anything you don't want to lose, and your iPhone will locate it.

If you haven't heard, wired headphones are all the rage, which is why Apple's EarPods for $15.96 is such a great gift idea. A slim, high-quality design, clear sound, and a comfortable fit are just a few of their standout qualities. This model works with all devices that have a Lightning connector – which is iPhone 14 and before – so if you've got a newer iPhone, you'll instead want the USB-C version ($16.99 at Amazon).

The AirPods 4 are Apple's cheapest AirPods, and you can find them on sale for $99, which is the lowest price we've seen this year and just $30 shy of the record-low. The AirPods 4 feature a new design for all-day comfort and feature Apple's H2 chip, which supports personalized spatial audio and voice isolation. You also get a redesigned case with 30 hours of battery life and support for wireless charging via USB-C.

Apple's newest premium buds feature improved Active Noise Cancellation, outstanding audio, a comfortable in-ear design, and new features such as live translation and heart-rate tracking (which is likely to go up a lot this Sunday). These do-it-all buds really are 100% flagship audio and the noise-cancelling quality is outstanding. Today's deal is the best price you can find on Apple's newest AirPods.

The AirPods Max use an Apple-designed dynamic driver to provide high-fidelity audio – and they sound fantastic for it. Exceptional active noise cancellation, personalized Spatial Audio, and Dolby Atmos support all reinforce that. They feel good on your head as well, thanks to the knit-mesh canopy and memory foam ear cushions, so you can easily wear them for the full 20 hours of battery life if you ever want or need to.

Amazon has a $30 discount on the already affordable Apple Watch SE 3, making it an excellent bargain at just $219.

My favorite Apple deal from Amazon is a $100 discount on the brand-new Apple Watch Series 11. 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's latest base iPad is on sale for $329, which is the best price you can find right now.

Other features include a sharp 11-inch Liquid Retina display and solid 12MP front- and rear-facing cameras, making this iPad the best iPad for casual streamers and scrollers.
