Apple Deals

What we like: An app that helps you organize your recipes that's beloved by Wirecutter staff. Use it to make grocery lists, save recipes you find online, plan out meals, and more.

Other things to know: First deal we've posted on this app in years.

What we like: Our top iPad tablet pick. The cheapest iPad Apple sells. Ditches the Home button and offers more color options, faster processing power, better rear cameras, USB-C, and an improved FaceTime camera over the 9th-gen iPad. 10-hour battery life.

Other things to know: No headphone jack or home button. Swaps out Lightning port for USB-C. Supports only the 1st-generation Apple Pencil and its USB-C variant. 64 GB option doesn’t provide much base storage. Available in silver and blue; clip the on-page coupon.

What we like: Our top pick for USB-C–to–USB-C cable fast charging. Thin, woven cord is flexible enough to let your phone rest comfortably on a nightstand or side table while charging. USB-IF certified. Capable of fast-charging, even for the latest 16-inch MacBook Pro.

Other things to know: Nylon weaving may fray a little. Two-year warranty. Not a great option for connecting external storage drives. Can’t output video to external monitors. Deal is for a single 3.3-foot cable in black.

What we like: A nice-to-have gift card for those who use Apple products. Great for purchasing Wirecutter-recommended Apple products or accessories. Essentially $15 of free money for purchases from Best Buy. Redeemable in stores or online.

Other things to know: Email delivery. Go to apple.com/redeem to add to your Apple account. Use your balance for online and Apple Store purchases. Free $15 Best Buy gift card.

What we like: Our keyboard case pick if you want to use your iPad Pro like a laptop. Excellent trackpad. Impressive keyboard. Includes removable case. Slimmer than our top pick. Stays positioned in a wide range of angles. Charges via the iPad's Smart Connector.

Other things to know: Not suitable for using on your lap due to foldout kickstand. Costs about twice as much as our top pick. On sale in graphite and beige at Best Buy and in black at Amazon.

What we like: Our upgrade pick for the best wireless mouse for Mac users. Comfortable to use all day—especially for larger hands—and has a thumb-scroll wheel and five other programmable buttons. Can connect to up to three devices via Bluetooth. Battery lasts about two months on a charge.

Other things to know: This Mac version does not come with a USB dongle. Testers with the smallest hands found it to be overly large. Logi Options+ software required to customize its buttons and sensitivity. A couple bucks higher than we saw during Prime Day, but still a good deal.

What we like: Our top wireless-charging phone mount pick. Quick-charging. Highly stable whether it's attached to the dash or the windshield. Spring-loaded tension arms made attaching or removing a phone of any size very simple. Held phones steady while we drove.

Other things to know: Includes 12-volt charger with micro-USB adapter. The longer the extendable neck extends, the more the plastic tends to wobble.

What we like: Our top pick for the best alternative to Apple's Sport Loop. More affordable, and one of the lightest and most comfortable bands we’ve tested. Stays put all day. Minimalist aesthetic goes with anything. Accommodates many wrist sizes.

Other things to know: Material takes a while to dry, so not the best option if you like to wear your watch swimming or in the shower. Deal on black.

What we like: The best full-size wireless keyboard for Mac. Offers a comfortable typing experience due to its well-spaced square keys. Has a backlight. Can pair with three devices via Bluetooth or a USB dongle.

Other things to know: Takes up way more desk space than our top pick. Battery life is shorter. Comparatively expensive. On sale in space gray.

What we like: The 10 feet version of our top USB-C to Lightning cable pick. Supports the fastest possible charging speeds, MFi-certified, well-built, and sturdy. Charges an iPhone three times faster than a USB-A–to–Lightning cable when paired with a high-speed USB-C charger.

Other things to know: Lifetime warranty. A bit thicker than the official Apple cables, but more robust and comes with a handy hook-and-loop cable tie. Apple is phasing out its proprietary Lightning connector. Available from Walmart with store pickup.

What we like: Our top pick for the best MagSafe car mount for iPhones. Affordable and easy to install. Built with an additional support arm for extra stability. Can be installed on an air vent or dashboard.

Other things to know: Works with all MagSafe-compatible iPhones (iPhone 12, 13, 14, and 15). Supports up to 7.5 W charging. Recurring deal price.

What we like: Our pick for an Apple Home–friendly fingerprint smart lock that's a fast, quiet, largely friendly deadbolt replacement. Offers an excellent fingerprint reader and Apple Home Key compatibility. We've been testing and using the brand’s products for a few years and are impressed by the company’s ever-growing ecosystem.

Other things to know: U100 doesn’t have WiFi built-in, remote access or notifications requires the use of either an Apple Home hub device or an Aqara hub. If you mess up too often, you get (temporarily) locked out.

What we like: Our top pick in our guide for the best laptops for video and photo editing. Fastest editing laptop we've tested thanks to the M4 Pro. Delivered impressive battery life of 17.5 hours in our testing. Large, 16.2-inch screen offers bright images and has great contrast.

Other things to know: Crunches through video with the power of a desktop computer. If you work with extremely large files or work in ultra time-critical environments, you can upgrade to the M4 Max, but the M4 Pro is more than enough for all but the most extreme situations. Heavy, at 4.7 pounds. Lacks a USB-A port. First notable price drop since this laptop became a pick.

What we like: Our top pick for the best smartwatch for iPhone users with added cellular connectivity. Offers the best combination of style, health and fitness features, app selection, battery life, and price of any smartwatch for any platform. Apple’s thinnest smartwatch ever.

Other things to know: Cellular connectivity is unnecessary for most people and requires a monthly data plan, but it's the first big drop in price we've seen so far. Also offers two temperature sensors, car-crash detection, emergency SOS, an always-on display, sleep apnea detection, and faster charging than previous models. Doesn't support Apple’s blood oxygen measurement. 42 mm silver case available with the black, pink, and blue Sport Band.

What we like: Our top pick for the best smartwatch for iPhone users. Offers the best combination of style, health and fitness features, app selection, battery life, and price of any smartwatch for any platform. Apple’s thinnest smartwatch ever. Comes in two sizes.

Other things to know: Great for buyers upgrading from an older Apple Watch. Includes two temperature sensors, car-crash detection, emergency SOS, an always-on display, sleep apnea detection, and faster charging than previous models. Doesn't support Apple’s blood oxygen measurement featured on older models. 42 mm version, available in jet black, rose gold, and silver case with denim band. 46 mm model is also on sale, as well as the 42 mm sport loop version.

What we like: Our upgrade pick for the best tablet. Speedy performance with the M2 processor and more base storage. Offers a 13-inch size that's ideal size for watching movies, playing games, or editing videos while you’re traveling. The 2732×2048 display is higher res and slightly brighter than that of the 11-inch model.  Marked improvements over the base iPad without costing as much as an iPad Pro.

Other things to know: Does not have the iPad Pro's 120 Hz OLED screen, FaceID, and a few other features. Compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro, Magic Keyboard, and Smart Keyboard Folio. Deal for the 13-inch size with 256 GB of internal storage.

What we like: Another MacBook worth considering if you need to use two external monitors. A great laptop with a speedy new processor. The M3 model is about 20% faster and brings a suite of enhancements to the chip’s GPU and AI processing power.

Other things to know: For now, the cheaper M2 MacBook Air is enough for most people. Specs include 13-inch display, M3 processor, 16 GB RAM, and 256 GB SSD. Available in four colors.

What we like: Our upgrade MacBook pick. Large, vibrant display. Sharp 1080p notched webcam. Slim, lightweight design includes a MagSafe charging port, two USB-C ports, and headphone jack. Great for editing audio, photos, and videos. Can power two external displays.

Other things to know: Specs include M3 processor, 16 GB RAM, and 512 GB SSD—notably more than our typical recommended specs of 8 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD. M4 processor probably isn't far off. Deal only available in Starlight and silver finishes; all other colors delayed to 2025.
