This Memorial Day weekend, Amazon dropped a few prices on Apple products for the long weekend. As Father’s day is June 15th, this might be a good opportunity to get dad something ahead of time. Some of the best deals right now are some tablets, smartwatches, and AirTag trackers.
The Apple iPad is an iconic tablet and has been consistently one of the best tablets on the market for years – this weekend, you can get $50 off latest 2025 iPad 11 (PCMag Editors’ Choice) tablet dropping the price down to $299. For those who want more performance without sacrificing weight and form factor, the 2025 iPad Air 11-inch and 13-inch models (PCMag Editors’ Choice) are great choices at a higher price point. Comparatively, the 11″ iPad Air offers a much faster M3 chip (used on some computers), weighs slightly less (1.01-lb vs 1.05-lb) and has better color gamut than the regular base iPad 11 model.
You can save up to $100 off select Apple Watch Series 10 smartwatches (PCMag Editors’ Choice). This is the same price we saw around Mother’s Day and is one of the best prices we’ve seen this year on Apple’s current generation watches with prices starting from $299. For those who do not need all the bells and whistles like always-on display, specialized sensors (ECG, SpO2, body temp), and the latest processor – the Apple Watch SE is also a great budget friendly alternative that starts at just $169 for most 40mm cases. PCMag gave the Apple Watch SE a 4/5 “Excellent” rating.
Apple products shipped & sold by Amazon.com will have include the same 1 year Apple warranty, you would get buying it from the Apple Store. Prices do fluctuate at Amazon and select colors and sizes on some products may have different pricing. It is worth seeing all options before you lock in your purchase as other styles may drop in price.
With tariff’s still being a factor in pricing, this might be a good opportunity to seize discounted Apple products before they potentially go up in price. Trump threatened Apple a 25% tariff on iPhones just recently.

When is the best time of the year to find Apple deals?
It really varies since we do see Apple deals pop up during major holidays like Memorial Day, Black Friday, Prime Day and even smaller events like Valentine’s day from major retailers. From our experience, Amazon generally has the most discounts throughout the year depending on what Apple product you are looking for.
Apple.com does offer some discounts in the year; they host a back to school sale for students and facility late summer through early fall. We also have seen Apple have Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals in the past where you get a bonus gift card with select products.
Do Apple products ever go on sale?
Most consumer focused Apple products do go on sale often throughout the year. There are some exceptions since we do not see many discounts on more of the niche Apple products like the Mac Studio, Apple Vision, HomePod.
We often see discounts at Amazon, Best Buy, or Costco throughout the year especially major holidays. If you see a lower price at Best Buy or Costco, Amazon usually prices matches the same product.
Apple.com does offer discounts a few times a year. Throughout the year, there are education discounts for students, families, and faculty with qualifying email and verification. You can save a few hundred dollars on select products. Their Back to School education sale usually offers the same discount but may include an additional gift card on top the purchase. You can find similar discounts for select government employees, businesses & employees, and for military and veterans with qualifying email.
How can I get a discount on an Apple iPhone? What about the latest model?
Depending on your definition of discount, the latest iPhones generally are discounted if you go through a carrier like AT&T or Verizon where you may have to trade-in a phone and sign up for a monthly payment plan. These are usually carrier locked, meaning if you get your phone from Verizon, you may have to unlock the phone to use it with a different carrier. You will have to look at the terms and conditions when buying the iPhone to see if the phone is carrier locked and when you can get the phone unlocked.
There are many options to get refurbished or used condition older iPhones. Apple certified refurbished phones direct from Apple’s Certified Refurbished is one of the best places if you want peace of mind since they are fully tested, parts replaced with genuine Apple parts, include a new battery, outer shell and has 1 year Apple warranty. Prices will generally be a lot higher compared to other refurbishers but in our opinion this is probably the closest you can get to getting it brand new.
Companies like eBay, Amazon, Woot!, and OWC offer great pricing on refurbished and used iPhones and generally come with a in-house or 3rd party warranty or guarantee with their iPhones. You’ll have to note the condition of the phone listed as pricing is adjusted based on the wear and tear on the phone. The closer an iPhone is to new condition, the higher the price will be whereas a scuffed display with wear on the casing would be much cheaper in comparison.
Do I need to own an iPhone or iPad to use the AirPods Pro?
You can actually use the AirPods Pro wireless earbuds on an Android Phone or Tablet through Bluetooth but you can not access all the features to get the full experience. You lose out on features like having tuned noise cancellation and spatial audio, you can not update the AirPods firmware, and other functions without a compatible Apple device. It is probably better to get wireless earbuds to match your brand’s phone or get the Sony XM5 series wireless earbuds.
