The second long weekend of the year is so close, and I couldn’t be more grateful. After a yearslong January and a snowy February with trusty Punxsutawney Phil predicting six more weeks of winter, we all deserve a Monday of bed rotting—and retail therapy.
Apple deals are one of the Presidents’ Day sales our shopping team keeps an eye out for every year. You’ll want to take full advantage if you’re due for an upgrade, as the next big round of Apple sales likely won’t be until Amazon’s Spring Sale (if that’s a thing again this year) or Memorial Day.
Apple doesn’t host its own sales on shopping holidays like Presidents’ Day (which falls on Monday, February 17, jsyk), but big box retailers like Amazon and Walmart certainly do. So, to help you locate the best savings, we’ve broken things down below, product by product.
Here’s what’s worth buying right now: AirTags (lowest price ever, matching Black Friday), AirPods 4 (first time they’re on major sale since release in September 2024), and MacBook Airs (some already sold out since I started working on this roundup). While there are modest discounts on pretty much everything else, we’re holding out until this weekend for better prices. Ofc, we’ll keep this updated as we spot new deals. YWIA!
Presidents’ Day AirPods Deals
This is your first chance to get Apple AirPods 4 for $100. They were announced at Apple’s most recent ~Event~ in September 2024, so they didn’t go on sale around Black Friday. AirPods 4 claim to be “better fitting” to correct the common issue of AirPods falling out, and they also have optional active noise cancellation. If your classic AirPods are worse for wear, it’s a good chance to update.
If you’ve been coveting AirPods Max, the sky blue colorway is the best price right now by about $30—they’re $100 off. And though technically not AirPods, the wired headphone committee can stock up on EarPods for just $16.
Presidents’ Day Apple Watch Deals
Apple Watch deals are less enticing rn. This 2nd Generation SE is down to $169, which is a good price but not the best we’ve ever seen. The Series 10 is a modest sub-20% off in both WiFi and Cellular models. The Ultra is $60 off. We’re keeping close tabs on this section for better deals ahead of Presidents’ Day weekend.
Presidents’ Day MacBook Deals
Most MacBook Airs are $200 off right now. That’s pretty compelling, considering you can get the 13-inch 2022 model for $799. And the newer 15-inch 2024 model is just $50 shy of it’s lowest price ever of $1,049. (The 13-inch 2024, you ask? She sold out faster than I could finish writing this…)
Presidents’ Day iPad Deals
Hate lugging your laptop everywhere? Take advantage of these Presidents’ Day iPad deals. The best deal du jour is on the iPad Mini, which just hit a new record-low price of $399, and is so convenient if you’re always on the go. At 5-inches by 7-inches, it’s easy to toss in your bag and work while you travel or read during your commute.
Presidents’ Day Apple Accessories Deals
The four-pack of Apple AirTags is matching it’s lowest price ever of $70 right now, which comes out to about $17 each. (A single Apple AirTag is $23.) There are also plenty of deals on iPhone accessories like MagSafe phone cases, space-saving USB-C wall plugs, and clip-on wallets.
