Whether your favorite day of the year is its annual September reveal event or you just want a solid computer no matter the brand, Apple's got you covered. Sure, it is a little notorious for its higher prices, but we've rounded up the best deals on iPads, AirPods, and more to help you out. Check them out below.

Mac and MacBook deals

Our pick: MacBook Pro (M1 Pro, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD)

$1,799 at Amazon (save $200)

Why we like it

Check out Mashable's official review of the 2021 MacBook Pro.

Last week we kept our fingers crossed for a MacBook Pro price dip, and this week Amazon and Best Buy delivered. Every single size of Apple's latest laptop is marked down $200 at both retailers. For the most bang for your buck, you'll want to go for the 14-inch 512GB model — that is, if you're someone who needs a laptop for intense video editing or graphics production. For other users, its 8-core CPU and 14-core GPU (and that price that comes with them) can be a bit of overkill.

iPad deals

Credit: Apple

Our pick: 2020 iPad Air (WiFi, 64GB)

$499 at Amazon (save $100)

Why we like it

A new iPad Air means the iPad Pro is no longer the only Apple tablet with an M1 chip. Since its available for preorder at $599, the price of the 2020 model has taken a little dip. So if you want to save some cash, don't want to wait for the new iPad's official release on March 18, and are perfectly happy with an A14 chip, then we recommend nabbing the 2021 model while it's available for $100 off at Amazon and Best Buy. Though it's no longer the latest and greatest, we still think it's a pretty solid tablet for content creators.

$180 with select unlimited plan (save $519.99)

Why we like it

Check out Mashable's official review of the iPhone 13 Mini.

No trade-in is necessary for this deal on the iPhone 13 Mini at Verizon. Though this model looks quite similar to its predecessor, its starting storage of 128GB and improved battery life definitely justify the upgrade.

Apple Watch deals

Credit: Apple

Our pick: Apple Watch Series 7

$349 at Amazon (save $50)

Why we like it

The price of Apple's latest smartwatch keeps going up and down. Though it's not quite as on sale as we've seen it in weeks past, it's only $10 away from its lowest price ever on a watch with a larger face, increased support for biking workouts, better durability. Plus, every in-stock color is available at this discounted price. You can also score these savings at Walmart.

Why we like it

Sure, you could spend more on the third-gen AirPods that didn't really give us anything to write home about. Or, you could opt for the second-gens, which come with an H1 chip for easy pairing, a nice long battery life, and the honor of being a Mashable Choice pick back in their day.
