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.

Mac and MacBook deals

Our pick: 2021 MacBook Pro (M1 Pro, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD)

$2,299 at Amazon and Best Buy (save $200)

Why we like it

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

This is not an everyday laptop, so it doesn't come at an everyday price. But for people who want to multitask while editing photos or videos, room-filling speakers, a battery life that's built to last, and the workflow that only a 16-inch Liquid Retina XDR display can provide, the latest MacBook Pro is the way to go. As of the time of writing, it's on sale at both Amazon and Best Buy and only $50 shy of the lowest price we've ever seen it.

iPad deals

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

$469 at Walmart (save $130)

Why we like it

Though it's not quite the $200 markdown we saw on this iPad a couple of weeks ago, the sale on this 2020 iPad Air is still worth your attention. No, it doesn't have the M1 chip of its newer counterpart, but its A14 Bionic chip can still handle photo editing and games without a problem. Plus with the new iPadOS 16 update, we doubt you'll be able to tell this iPad is two years old.

Our pick: iPhone 13 Mini at Verizon

$0 with an eligible trade-in on a select unlimited plan (save $700)

Why we like it

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

Like most phone deals on this list, having a decent trade-in is essential to scoring the most bang for your buck. So why the iPhone 13 Mini? Well, you likely won't need a brand new phone to get the price tag as close to $0 as possible, you're not trading-in for an outdated model, and you get at least 128GB of storage, nice battery life, and cinematic mode without the huge price tag. You can also grab this deal at AT&T.

Apple Watch deals

Our pick: Apple Watch Series 7 (41mm, GPS)

$329 at Amazon (save $70)

Why we like it

Is it the most exciting Apple Watch deal we've ever seen? No, but it's always nice when the latest Apple Watch, with its blood oxygen and ECG sensors, support of bike workouts, and ample screen space takes a $70 price cut. (It often sits at only $50 or even $30 off.)

Our pick: AirPods Max

$429.99 at Amazon (save $119.01)

Why we like it

Check out Mashable's official review of the AirPods Max.

Are the only over-the-ear AirPods ridiculously expensive? Yes. But do they offer excellent audio quality and good battery life in a stylish package? Also yes. And they're back down to their Black Friday price, which happens to be their all-time low price, in every color but pink and green.
