The best iPad deals this week include the iPad mini for $100 off

The iPad, of course, isn’t the only tablet available — it wasn’t even the first — but Apple’s version redefined the category. In our opinion, this is the best tablet you can buy and these slates consistently get high marks in our reviews. This doesn’t mean you should pay full price for your next iPad. We’re continually looking for great deals on iPads (and other Apple gear while we’re at it) and every week we round them up on site.

Current discounts include the iPad mini and 11-inch iPad Pro, each for $100 off list price. Beyond iPads, there are a few other Apple deals in the works, like the latest AirPods Pro 3 at its lowest price yet at $199 and select colors of the Apple Watch Series 11 at $299. Here are the best Apple deals we found this week.

Best iPad deals

The iPad mini is exactly what it sounds like: a smaller iPad. This latest iteration adds an upgraded A17 Pro chip, 128GB of storage in the base model, and support for Apple Pencil Pro. As always, you’d buy it if you like the smaller 8.3-inch screen and want a tablet that’s easier to use with one hand. This discount is $50 more than the all-time low we saw around Cyber ​​Monday, but still $100 less than buying directly from Apple. Also at Best Buy

$399 at Amazon

Apple iPad Air (M3, 11-inch) for $499 ($100 off): The iPad Air is the top overall pick in our best iPad guide. Yes, it’s more expensive than the entry-level iPad (A16), but its faster chip, extra RAM, laminated and more color-rich display, better speakers, and superior accessory support add up to a more enjoyable everyday experience. This isn’t the lowest price we’ve tracked: The price dropped to $450 just after Black Friday, but it’s still $100 cheaper than buying directly from Apple.

Apple iPad Pro (11-inch, M5) for $899 ($100 off): The latest iPad Pro is still more of a tablet than most people will ever need, but its class-leading OLED display, incredibly thin design, and super-powerful M5 chip make it a luxury experience for those who can afford it. The device was only released in October, so this deal hits its lowest price yet. Also at Best Buy and B&H.

Apple iPad Pro (13-inch, M5) for $1,199 ($100 off): It’s not a massive discount, but it matches the lowest price yet for the larger iPad Pro, which may be worth it if you have money to spend and want to use an iPad as your primary computer. We gave it a score of 85 in our review. Also at B&H.

This is a new low for Apple’s premium set of wireless earbuds, knocking $20 off the deal we saw on Black Friday. We gave the AirPods Pro 3 a score of 90 last September and currently rank them as the top choice for iPhone owners in our guide to the best wireless earbuds. You still need an iPhone to get the most out of them, but compared to previous models, they offer sharper active noise cancellation, longer battery life per charge, improved water resistance, slightly stronger bass, and livelier highs. There are a host of features beyond that, including built-in heart rate monitoring. The fit is different than the AirPods Pro 2, but we found it more secure. Also at Walmart.

$199 at Amazon

Apple AirTags (4-pack) for $65 ($34 off): These are the best Bluetooth trackers for iPhone users with their large search network and precise ultra-wideband features to locate your objects when they are nearby. Simply attach them to your keys, wallet or bag with the right AirTag holder and track everything in the Find My app.

Apple AirPods 4 for $74 ($55 off): If you don’t need active noise cancellation and hate the feeling of headphones just going into your ear canal, the standard AirPods 4 are still a good buy. They don’t have built-in volume controls and no open-style earbud can produce the same level of bass as regular in-ear headphones, but they generally sound nicer than most pairs of this type and still offer the usual range of Apple-friendly features. This discount is only $5 more than the all-time low we saw around Black Friday. Also at Best Buy for $85 if out of stock.

Cherlynn Low for Engadget

The Apple Watch SE 3 may be a better raw value, but the Apple Watch Series 11 remains our favorite smartwatch for iPhone owners overall. Compared to its cheaper sibling, it has a larger, brighter, more scratch-resistant screen, longer battery life, and some advanced health features like an ECG app and hypertension alerts. It also got a 90 rating in our review. This is a new low for the base 42mm model, but keep in mind that there’s no need to upgrade if you already own a Series 10. Not all colors are on sale. The deal is also available at Walmart and Best Buy.

$299 at Amazon

Apple Watch SE 3 for $199 ($50 off): This discount has been around for a few weeks, but it’s the lowest price yet for Apple’s latest entry-level smartwatch. We gave the SE 3 a score of 90 in our test last month: The big upgrade is an always-on display, so you no longer have to wake the watch to check the time or notifications. It still includes most of the essential health and fitness features, and it now runs on the same chipset as the higher-end Apple Watch Series 11. Also at Walmart.

Apple Pencil Pro for $95 ($34 off): The Pencil Pro is Apple’s most feature-rich stylus, offering pressure sensitivity, wireless charging, haptic feedback, and unique gesture controls compared to the standard USB-C model (which isn’t significantly discounted). Just note that it is not compatible with the entry-level iPad and other older models. While this reduction is only $5 below the device’s usual street price, it’s still the biggest reduction we’ve seen this year. Also at Walmart.

Apple

The top pick in our guide to the best laptops, the MacBook Air M4 isn’t a major overhaul but remains exceptionally thin, light and well-designed, with more than enough power for everyday use. This discount matches the best price we’ve seen for an upgraded configuration with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. Other versions with less storage or more memory also get $250 off. If you don’t need a new laptop right away, know that we could see an updated model in early 2026, according to a previous report. Bloomberg report.

$949 at Amazon

Apple MacBook Air (15-inch, M4) for $949 ($250 off): The 15-inch MacBook Air is almost identical to the smaller version; Besides its more spacious screen, it adds better speakers and a more spacious trackpad. This offer corresponds to the all-time low and other configurations benefit from the same reduction.

: Apple’s most recent M-series chip is the M5 and is only equipped on the 14-inch MacBook Pro and iPad Pro. When the MacBook Pro M5 M5 was released in October, we gave it a 92. The new chip gives the laptop an impressive graphics upgrade, which only adds to the Pro’s known qualities: a sturdy build, an excellent trackpad and speaker combined with incredibly long battery life – we recorded 34 hours in a video test. Also at and .

Apple Mac mini (M4) for $479 ($120 off): The latest iteration of Apple’s small desktop PC has a smaller footprint, a faster M4 chip, 16GB of RAM by default, two front-facing USB-C ports, and an additional Thunderbolt 4 port. It can also drive three external displays, although it completely lacks USB-A ports. We gave a high-end model with Apple’s M4 Pro chip a 90 in our review. This deal on the base model with an M4 chip, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage is $10 more than the best deal we’ve seen, but $20 less than the configuration’s typical street price.

: With this puck, the iPhone 17 can charge wirelessly at speeds of 25 watts. You can also get these speeds with iPhone 16 handsets updated to the latest version of OS 26. Just note that you’ll need to plug it into at least a 30-watt adapter, which isn’t included. This is the lowest price we have tracked.

Apple USB-C Magic Mouse for $68 ($11 off): This isn’t a record price for Apple’s popular mouse: it cost $60 in October. It’s lightweight, supports multi-touch features including scrolling, and the battery life is quite long. Just note that the charging port is at the bottom, so you can’t use it while it’s charging. The discount only applies to the white model.
