AirPods Pro 3<\/p>\n

0<\/p>\n

Arguably the best Apple deal in the entire sale is Apple AirPods Pro 3 (the latest model) on sale for $179. That\u2019s $80 off MSRP, and the lowest we\u2019ve seen them go since they launched last year. The big selling point for AirPods Pro 3 is the noise cancellation. They also produce full-bodied sound, and they fit more ear shapes than previous models.<\/p>\n

The latest mainline Apple Watch is the Series 12, which Apple boasts features the \u201cmost accurate heart rate sensing in a wearable.\u201d So if you want your heart rate sensed, you can\u2019t go wrong here. It also features Siri AI-powered features like the ability to transcribe the last 15 seconds it heard, and to give you a Cliff\u2019s Notes version of your entire day. It\u2019s pretty wild.<\/p>\n

Save $200 Off M5 MacBook Air<\/p>\n

\"MacBook<\/a><\/p>\n

MacBook Air 13″ Laptop with M5 Chip (2026)<\/p>\n

0<\/p>\n

In June of this year, Apple raised the price of the MacBook Air by $200. This was due to things like RAMageddon and inflation, but it was also a bummer for anyone like me, who had been on the verge of upgrading. Right now, you can get this year\u2019s MacBook Air, powered by the M5 chip, on sale for $200 off. That brings it back down to the previous price \u2013 a deal I\u2019ll gladly take in this day and age.<\/p>\n

iPad Mini Is $100 Off<\/p>\n

\"Apple<\/a><\/p>\n

Apple iPad mini (A17 Pro)<\/p>\n

0<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have have the supersized cashflow to afford the flashy new iPhone Duo<\/a>, you can get this deal to save $100 off an iPad mini. When open, the Duo is roughly the size of this iPad, so you\u2019re basically getting the same thing for much cheaper (not entirely, but you get the idea). It\u2019s a terrific form factor, and this price makes it a terrific deal as well.<\/p>\n

AirPods Max Are $120 Off<\/p>\n

\"AirPods<\/a><\/p>\n

Some people don\u2019t like earbuds. They don\u2019t want something jammed in their ears because it\u2019s either painful or uncomfortable. For those people, AirPods Max are an excellent over-ear solution. They\u2019re comfortable, they offer terrific noise cancellation, and they\u2019re on sale for 21% off.<\/p>\n

The New 2026 Mac Mini Is $120 Off<\/p>\n

\"Mac<\/a><\/p>\n

People who want a desktop PC but don\u2019t want it to take up a lot of space can save a cool $120 off the latest release of the Mac Mini. This small but mighty machine packs an M6 chip, which makes it powerful, but it keeps a small footprint on your desk.<\/p>\n
