Memorial Day is around the corner and that means BBQs, times down the shore, and lots of summer fun with family and friends. However, alongside all the activities from the unofficial kick off to summer, it is also a time of great savings.
It’s long been a great time to score a TV, a mattress, or even a home appliance at a deep discount, but you can find savings on nearly all products. Here we’re focusing on all things Apple and as the experts, we’re sharing the best early memorial day discounts on all AirPods, the Apple Watch, iPads, and even Macs.
The best part is that you don’t need to wait until May 29, 2023 to score these as retailers like Amazon (AMZN) are already marking prices down and shipping fast.

Best AirPods Deals
AirPods Pro Second-Generation ($199.99, originally $249 at Amazon)
What’s better than getting class-leading true wireless earbuds? Getting them for what’s close to the lowest price ever. Amazon has AirPods Pro second-generation at just $199.99, which matches the lowest price from the retailer. These offer a comfortable fit in your ear that seals them off, a vibrant wide soundstage that works for any type of genre, and offer some of the best noise cancellation we’ve ever tested.
AirPods Second-Generation ($99, originally $129.99 at Amazon)
You can routinely get AirPods Pro second-generation--aka the earbuds that started the true wireless revolution--at a discount and this Memorial Day is no different. Amazon has these for under $100 at $99 and these earbuds provide an excellent experience. AirPods will fast pair with your iPhone and sync across your Apple devices, they support hands-free “Hey Siri,” and offer a comfortable fit in the ear that doesn’t disconnect you from the outside world.
EarPods with Lightning Connector ($17.97, originally $29 at Amazon)
EarPods might be the predecessor to AirPods, but you still can’t beat wired earbuds. These plug right into the Lightning port on your iPhone or iPad and provide a solid playback experience. Best of all you don’t need to worry about charging them and the microphone is next-level since it is wired.
Best Apple Watch Deals
Apple Watch Series 8, 41mm GPS ($329, originally $399 at Amazon)
If you’re after all the health tracking and fancy features like an always-on display or fast-charging, the Apple Watch Series 8 is likely the best wearable for you. Especially, if you don’t need an ultra rugged design or a 49mm screen. The Series 8 comes in a 42mm or 45mm size, with a hefty amount of health features—Blood Oxygen and Heart Rate Tracking along with activity and ECG—, all paired with a display that never shuts off.
Apple Watch Ultra ($729.99, originally $799 at Amazon)
The most rugged wearable in Apple’s lineup, as well as the flagship, is the Apple Watch Ultra. It boasts a titanium build, a larger and brighter 49-millimeter Retina display, and can last for multiple days with the largest battery ever in an Apple Watch. It’s designed for the everyday epic and the not so every day epic. Amazon has it near the lowest price yet at just $729.99.
Best Mac Deals
M1 MacBook Air ($799, originally $999 at Amazon)
In terms of best laptops, the M1 MacBook Air is pretty unstoppable. The M1 Chip with an 8-core CPU and 8-core GPU can power through nearly any task from 4K video editing to web browsing with a couple dozen tabs open and still have room for some gaming or photo editing. The best news is that the MacBook Air doesn’t need a fan and can last for multiple days on a single charge. You get the iconic, thin wedge designed when closed and open up to a 13-inch Retina display as well.
16-inch MacBook Pro with M2 Pro ($2,239, originally $2,499 at Amazon)
If you need a bit more power or a larger display, the 16-inch MacBook Pro with the M2 Pro chip is worth a look. Especially when it’s 10% off at $2,249 at Amazon. The more powerful processor pairs an active cooling system with a 12-Core CPU and a 19-core GPU for unstoppable power. It features a 16.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display with a 120Hz refresh rate and offers a ton of ports.
Best iPad Deals
9th Gen iPad ($269.99, originally $329 at Amazon)
While this is the entry-level iPad and one of the oldest in the lineup, it still delivers an excellent experience. For one it can handle the latest version of iPadOS and you can even split the screen for multitasking between two apps. The A13 Bionic is zippy enough to speed through most tasks and the 10.2-inch Retina display is housed in a pretty iconic design. It’s down to the lowest price ever at $269.99 on Amazon right now.
6th Gen iPad Mini ($469, originally $499 at Amazon)
The iPad Mini might be smaller than the 9th Gen, but it boasts a more modern design with thinner bezels and comes in five fun colors. We’d personally go for purple, but either way you get an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display and an A15 Bionic Chip inside. The 6th Gen iPad Mini supports the second-generation (AAPL) Apple Pencil, which magnetically attaches to the side.
5th Gen iPad Air ($499.99, originally $599 at Amazon)
amazon.com
Whether you need Stage Manager support or want to run Final Cut Pro for iPad, the 5ht Generation iPad Air delivers some excellent value. It’s $100 off in Purple, Blue Pink, or Space Gray and all models feature the M1 Chip inside. This lets you accomplish nearly anything in iPadOS and you likely won’t see this iPad ever slow down. It supports the Magic Keyboard and the latest generation Apple Pencil.
