Picking up Apple gear can often mean raiding the piggybank and few people would argue that the company’s wares are cheap. But you often get what you pay for in life, and iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches and more often take the top spot on plenty of our best-of lists. That doesn’t mean you can’t save money on your new purchase though, and Best Buy’s Apple Sale Event offers you the chance to save hundreds across its entire lineup. You’ll need to act fast though, this sale ends on Sunday, Aug. 11.
While it’s almost definitely a good idea to check out the Best Buy Apple sale in full for yourself, we’re going to highlight a couple of the standout deals below.
First up is one of the best iPad models of recent years, the fifth-gen iPad Air. While a 2024 model was just released, the previous-gen Air still offers impressive processing speeds, an excellent 11-inch display and a thin and light design that makes it easy to tote around on the daily. Not only is it $200 off right now, but it also comes with three months free of Apple TV, Apple Fitness, Apple Music and four months of Apple Arcade. The extras here go a long way to making your first few months with it particularly enjoyable, and a good chance to test out some of the subscriptions available to you.

If you need even more power, the M2 iPad Pro is available with up to $500 off. It has similarly been replaced by a 2024 iPad Pro model, but it still provides ample processing ability and it’s available in an even larger 12.9-inch size with a gorgeous mini-LED screen.
It’s also worth taking a look at some of the best MacBook options, including both the M2 MacBook Air and new M3 MacBook Air at up to $200 off with MacBook Pro models seeing as much as $1,000 in savings for My Best Buy Plus members.
Other notable deals include AirPods Pro 2 for $190, $100 off select Apple Watch models and discounted Beats headphones.
