Why we like it

Check out our full review of the M2 MacBook Air.

If you’re looking for a zippy work-from-home machine or the perfect school companion, look no further. Though Apple did just release the new M3 chip to its iMac and MacBook lineup, the M2 is still plenty powerful. You’ll also get 13.6 inches of display (as opposed to the 13.3 inches of the previous gen Air), a near-perfect keyboard, and best of all, this laptop at its lowest price ever.

iPad deals


Our pick: 2021 iPad (WiFi, 64GB)

$229.99 at Amazon and Target (save $99.01)



Why we like it

Target went off with its latest drop of Black Friday Apple deals. The 9th generation has been sitting at its $249 low for a couple weeks now, and though it was a good deal, it was a low price we’d seen before. As of Nov. 20, however, the 9th generation iPad has dropped to a new low — just $229.99 at Amazon and Target. Though this 2021-era tablet certainly isn’t the latest and greatest, it’s about $120 cheaper than any other brand new iPad on the market right now (that’s including sale prices). The A13 chip and 10.2-inch Retina display will do what you need them to do for basic tasks, like taking notes or streaming video. If you’re looking for a bit more storage space, the 256GB model has also hit a new low of $379.99, again at both Amazon and Target.

iPhone deals


Our pick: iPhone 14 Plus at Verizon

$0 when you open a new line on select unlimited plans (save $799)



Why we like it

The iPhone 15 may be the shiniest new Apple toy, and while the deals on the phone certainly aren’t bad, they are contingent upon you having a decent trade-in. If you feel any doubt in your trade-in power, going for this Verizon deal on the 14 Plus requires none — only that you open a new line on select unlimited plans. Still some hoops, but far fewer to get an $800 phone basically for free.

Check out our full review of the Apple Watch Series 9.

Just under two short weeks ago, Walmart’s first Black Friday sales event brought the Series 9 down to its lowest price ever at $349. We weren’t sure we’d see this price hit any lower — after all, $50 off the latest Apple Watch during Black Friday is the sale we’ve seen in years past. But if everyone running a Black Friday sale for the entire month is any indication, the ante has been upped this year. The Series 9 is now at a new low of $329, saving you $70 on the smartwatch that was released just this past fall. Along with the new S9 chip, the Series 9 comes with a brighter display than the previous generation, the same 18-hour battery life, and Double Tap. At the time of writing, you’ll find more colorways on sale at Walmart than Amazon.

AirPods deals


Our pick: USB-C AirPods Pro (2nd gen)

$189.99 at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target (save $69.01)



Why we like it

Read our full review of the second-generation USB-C AirPods Pro.

The USB-C AirPods Pro are (nearly) back down to their $189 low at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. Besides the upgraded port, there’s not really any major differences between the lightning Pros and these, so if you already own the former, even this deal might not be worth jumping on. However, if you’ve yet to get your first pair of AirPods or currently have an older generation, the noise canceling, battery life, and sale price of these earbuds combined is reason enough to grab this deal while it’s live.
