The best Apple deals we could find ahead of Monday's Apple event

We’re just hours away from Apple’s “It’s Glowtime” event, which will officially kick off today, Sept. 9, at 10 a.m. PST/1 p.m. EST.

This month’s event (the last Apple event was on May 7, 2024) is expected to be a big one. Apple will likely unveil the next-gen iPhone (iPhone 16), new Apple Watch models, and the Apple AirPods 4.

While the official details are still under wraps, we’re pretty sure there’ll be more than a couple of announcements worth getting excited about, including a potential reveal of the iPad mini 7 (though that’s just speculation).

Given these expected new releases, we’ve found a few pre-event Apple deals to save you some cash ahead of the big show. From discounted iPads and MacBooks to cheaper Apple Watches and AirPods, here are the best Apple deals we could find before Monday’s event.


Best deal overall

Why we like it

The MacBook Air (M2, 8GB, 256GB SSD) 13.6-inch laptop is currently $849 at Best Buy — that’s $150 off the original $999 price. (If you want to add a pair of Beats Solo 4, you can get them for $99 with any MacBook purchase.)

This MacBook is powered by an M2 chip, has 8GB of RAM, and has 256GB of SSD storage. It’s 20 percent faster at applying image filters and effects and 40 percent faster at editing high-res videos than the previous M1 MacBook Air. You can also go all day on a single charge (18-hour battery).

With a 13.6-inch screen, a superfast SSD, and macOS Ventura, this laptop is a solid day-to-day machine for work, school, and everything in between.

Best Apple Watch deal

Why we like it

The Apple Watch Series 9 (GPS, 41mm) isn’t the cheapest Apple Watch deal, but it is one of the best deals we’ve seen so far. Right now, you can grab the 41mm Apple Watch Series 9 for $299 at Amazon — $100 off the listing price.

The new Series 9 features an S9 chip, advanced health and safety sensors, and powerful fitness and sleep tracking capabilities. You can take an ECG, measure your heart rate and temperature, and even call for help in an emergency. (The crash and fall detection feature automatically connects you with emergency services if you’re unresponsive.)

Best iPad deal

Why we like it

The Apple iPad (9th gen) has an A13 Bionic chip, a 10.2-inch Retina display, 64GB of storage, and an all-day battery life. iPadOS makes it easy to run all your apps and tabs at once, while the fast WiFi connectivity means you can browse the web and stream content without any buffering. It also has an ultra-wide front camera with center stage to keep you in the frame during video calls.

You can get this iPad for $224 on Amazon, which is $105 off the listing price.

Best AirPod deal

Why we like it

The Apple AirPods (2nd gen) are only $89 at Amazon — that’s $40 off the listing price and just $20 more than the Prime Day deal we saw a few months ago.

The second-generation AirPods are powered by the Apple H1 headphone chip and feature a one-tap setup for quick and easy pairing with all your Apple devices. The coolest thing about these earbuds is that they know when they’re in your ears and when they’re not, and they auto-pause your content when removed. They also have a 24-hour battery life.
