The best Apple deals ahead of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale
If you’re looking for discounted Apple products, Amazon is a reliable place to grab them year-round.
However, with the announcement of its Big Spring Sale, running from March 25 to 31, we’re keeping our fingers crossed to see even more deals go live. While the sale focuses primarily on “springtime favorites” like outdoor furniture and garden supplies, last year’s inaugural BSS did bring some tech deals. Best of all, exempting a few exclusive offers, most deals are available to all customers, regardless of their Prime membership status.
So far, we have spotted deals on new releases like the M3 iPad Air, 11-inch iPad, and M4 MacBook Airs. In addition to iPads, we also found a $400 markdown on the M3 13-inch MacBook Air and $170 price cut on the Beats Studio Pro. Again, while these deals aren’t officially tied to the spring sale and can be found at other times of the year, these are still solid prices for any of these items.
We’ll continue updating this post as the sale progresses, so check back if you’re looking for the best Apple deals ahead of Amazon’s Big Spring Sale.
Best MacBook deal
Why we like it
Check out our full review of the M4 MacBook Air.
Apple just dropped the M4 MacBook Air, and even at full price, we think it’s a really good deal. In a divergence from last year’s Air pricing, Apple started its 13-inch model at just $999 — with an M4 chip and the RAM upgrades Apple gave all its laptops last fall, this is the best value we’ve ever seen on an Apple laptop. Amazon slashed another $50 off the price, which, while admittedly not a jaw-dropping discount, helps make a great value even better. The biggest downside to this laptop is that it might be a little short on ports for some users, and then it tops out at a 60Hz refresh rate, but if you can work with that, the M4 Air is an excellent deal.

Best AirPods deal
Why we like it
Check out our full review of the AirPods Pro.
For Apple users, the AirPods Pro are an excellent pair of noise-cancelling earbuds, with some of the best noise cancellation and sound quality in the game. As the USB-C Pros near their second year anniversary, we can’t say they’re without a doubt the best on the market — their battery life could be better, for instance — but their age works in their favor for this price drop down to $169.99, which certainly makes some of their flaws easier to look past. We have seen these earbuds drop to $154 during Black Friday season, but we haven’t seen that deal return since, making $170 the next best deal to grab them at.

Best iPad deal
Why we like it
The M3 iPad Air just hit the market earlier this month, but you can already grab it for $50 off. At the time of writing, the previous generation Air costs even more on Amazon at $599 (though you can grab it on sale for $499 at Best Buy). Beyond the chip upgrade, this iPad features plenty of Apple Intelligence integration, from the Photos and Notes apps, to the Writing Tools feature that uses ChatGPT. Though we’ve yet to test this tablet hands-on for ourselves, the M2 Air is our favorite iPad for most people — we imagine the M3 Air will follow suit.

Best Apple Watch deal
Why we like it
Check out our full review of the Apple Watch Series 10.
The Apple Watch Series 10 only came out this past fall, making this $100 off deal especially impressive. Along with its larger wide-angle OLED display, Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder found this smartwatch to be lighter than its predecessors, with an ultra-fast charge time. This watch generation introduced fitness features like a depth gauge, sleep apnea detection, and a Vitals app, but it’s worth noting those features aren’t exclusive to the Series 10. However, if your Series 6 has been on the fritz for a while, or you’ve never owned an Apple Watch, $299 is a solid price to grab Apple’s latest smartwatch.
