AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C

One of the first best discounts of the season is on Apple's AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C/MagSafe Charging Case. This accessory has hit $189.99 on Amazon, down from $249.00, which is an all-time low price on the brand new AirPods.

Beats Studio Pro

The Beats Studio Pro just launched this past summer, and we've already begun to track a steep 43 percent markdown on Amazon. You can get these noise canceling wireless headphones for $199.95 in multiple colors, down from $349.99.

Beats Studio Buds

Amazon has the Beats Studio Buds+ for $129.95, down from $169.95. These upgraded earbuds feature two distinctive listening modes with active noise cancelation and transparency mode, up to 36 hours of listening time, and four pairs of silicone tip sizes.

If you want to save a bit more money, you can get the Beats Studio Buds for $99.95, down from $149.95 on Amazon. The main difference in these is a slightly lesser battery life at 24 hours total.

9th Gen iPad

We've been tracking a great all-time low discount on the ninth generation iPad since Prime Day, and the deal is still around today. You can get the 64GB Wi-Fi iPad for $249.00, down from $329.00. At this price, the iPad is a perfect entry-level tablet for a kid or family member who doesn't need the tablet for work-intensive projects.

10th Gen iPad

The upgraded iPad from 2022 also has a nice discount on Amazon right now, with the 64GB Wi-Fi model on sale for $399.00, down from $449.00. This model comes with a bigger 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, A14 Bionic chip for a performance boost, Wi-Fi 6, and more.

6th Gen iPad Mini

Apple's 8.3-inch iPad mini 6 is down to $399.99 on Amazon, down from $499.00. Not only that, but you'll find all storage configurations on sale this week, including 256GB Wi-Fi and cellular models. This iPad mini has an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display, A15 Bionic chip, USB-C, and more.

5th Gen iPad Air

Switching to iPad Air models, the 2022 64GB Wi-Fi tablet has hit $499.99 on Amazon, down from $599.00. That's a solid all-time low price on this model, and you can also find a few other storage configurations at record lows this time around.

12.9-inch iPad Pro

The 128GB Wi-Fi 12.9-inch iPad Pro dropped to $989.99 on Amazon this week, down from $1,099.00. This is a new record low price on the high-end tablet, and since 128GB is the lowest storage option on this line, it's now the cheapest entry price on the 12.9-inch iPad Pro we've ever seen.

Best MacBook Air Deals

13.3-inch M1 MacBook Air

Although the 13.3-inch M1 MacBook Air is getting old in age, at $749.99 on Amazon, down from $999.00, it's a perfect pick for anyone who needs an Apple notebook for simple email and web browsing tasks. With the addition of Apple's M1 chip, you'll find the computer is more than up to these tasks, especially for anyone upgrading from Intel-based models.

13.6-inch M2 MacBook Air

Apple's follow-up to the M1 model, the 13.6-inch M2 MacBook Air, is also at a record low price. B&H Photo has the 256GB model for $899.00, down from $1,099.00, and it's available in all three colors. With the M2 chip, you'll find various internal upgrades with this generation, as well as a new external design.

15.3-inch M2 MacBook Air

The newest MacBook Air, the 15.3-inch M2 model, has returned to its best-ever price this week. You can get the 256GB model for $1,049.99 in multiple colors, down from $1,299.00. This one is aimed at people who want to retain the thinness of the MacBook Air lineup, but need a bigger display to handle multiple tasks and apps at once. You'll also find the 512GB at an all-time low price.

Shoppers should note that this MacBook Air model requires you to clip an on-page coupon before you head to checkout. Once you do, you'll see the deal price reflected in your cart.

Best Apple Accessory Deals

HomePod (2nd Gen)

B&H Photo has been the only retailer with a consistent discount on Apple's second generation HomePod. Right now, you can get it in both colors for $279.99, down from $299.00. While not a huge markdown, this continues to be the best price we've ever tracked.

iPhone 15 Cases

Amazon is taking nearly 30 percent off the new FineWoven Cases for iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus this week. Not every color is discounted, but those that are have prices as low as $35.40 for these brand new accessories, down from $59.00.

I'm not going to argue that it is "getting old in age" in perception but simple email and web browsing? Hell, the used one I just got recently is running Ryujinx (Nintendo Switch), crushing Traktor Pro 3 in terms of CPU, upscaling my PS2 games to 2K (AEtherSX2) without even getting warm, and I haven't even started exploring running multiple AudioUnit synths at once in something like Logic or Ableton so I WOULD argue that it is so much more capable than just a simple consumption machine especially coming from an Intel based older machine.

EDIT: but at this point, I think it really should drop to something like $599 for a base 8/256

Holy, mother of g..d…. When everyone front runs black Friday, it’s pretty telling. “Move it or lose” is probably what retailers have been telling their store managers.

Absolutely agree. It also plays games substantially better than anything sporting Intel's integrated graphics. Really love the machine.

Nice discounts, but regarding the "FineWoven" cases...I wouldn't buy one even if it was only a dollar!
