Today’s 8 best Apple deals at Best Buy
iPad 10.2 (2021):was $329.99 now$249 at Best BuyThe iPad 10.2 has been available at this record-low price for a few months now but it remains a great deal. This Apple tablet may be slightly older tech, but the 10.2-inch Retina display and A13 Bionic chip ensure excellent picture quality and superior performance to this day. If you need an entry-level slate for web browsing, streaming videos, light admin work or playing basic games then this can do it all without issue. Right now, when it comes to powerful and affordable tablets that offer excellent value for money, nothing else can beat the Apple iPad 10.2 at this price.

iPad Air (2022):was $599 now$499.99 at Best BuyThis is a solid $100 discount on the iPad Air at Best Buy but we have seen it for $50 less in previous sales. It’s also worth saying that a new iPad Air might be announced at next month’s Apple event - though it’s likely to be more expensive than this deal. So, we think it’s still a good buy today if you need a tablet for creative tasks, gaming, and general everyday use. We said in our four-stariPad Air (2022) reviewthat it has an attractive 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display and the M1 chip inside so you get excellent picture quality with fast performance.

iPad mini (2021):was $499 now$399.99 at Best BuyThis discount brings the ageing iPad mini to within $20 of the record-low price we saw in July last year. It may be older but the 8.3-inch tablet delivers decent performance similar to the last-generation iPad Air – just in a much smaller form. It’s difficult to enthusiastically recommend given it’s so dated – and the fact that a new model could be announced soon – but it’s still a solid option for those who need a portable everyday tablet.

Apple AirPods (3rd Generation):was $169.99 now$149.99 at Best BuyThe latest set of Apple deals at Best Buy has the AirPods 3 discounted to $149.99 – that’s just $10 more than the cheapest price ever. These premium earbuds offer long battery life and convenient wireless charging thanks to the MagSafe case that provides more than 30 hours of total listening time (or 6 hours on one charge). These are excellent everyday buds for iPhone users with good audio performance, easy connectivity and a slick design, according to ourApple AirPods 3 review.

It’s not a huge reduction but it’s the lowest price yet for the brand-new model which runs on the powerful M3 chipset. OurMacBook Air 13-inch M3 reviewpraised its excellent performance, lengthy 18 hours of battery life and slick fan-less design. We think it’s thebest laptopyou can buy right now if you’ve got a decent budget for a portable and powerful laptop.

MacBook Air 15-inch (M2):was $1,299 now$999 at Best BuyIt may essentially be just a larger version of the MacBook Air 13-inch, but if that’s what you want then that’s what you get – and it’s now reduced to its lowest-ever price at Best Buy. OurMacBook Air 15-inch reviewpraised the display, performance, design and speaker array, although we did think the jump in size hurt one of the MacBook Air’s key selling points: portability. Nevertheless, this is still an impressive laptop and it’s now available for a record-low price following this $300 discount.

We awarded this model 4.5 stars out of five in ourMacBook Pro 14-inch (M3) review, praising the overall performance, elegant design and long-lasting battery.
