The best Apple deals (May 2020): iPad, HomePod, Apple Watch and more



[ad_1]

Apple’s offerings are Oddly enough. Usually, we don’t see radical price drops across the brand, and when prices drop, it’s generally not much. Best Buy has an ongoing sale that is an exception to the rule; there are discounts on speakers, smart watches, tablets and more. We’ve rounded up our favorite selections below, but you can check out the entire shopping event here if you’d like to browse on your own.

Apple Deals

These offers have no set expiration dates, and some products have already sold out. If your heart is determined on something, keep this in mind if you are interested. Some items are no longer available for online shipping, but depending on where you live, you may choose to pick up the contactless store for free.

  • Apple Watch Series 5 for $ 100 off: The Apple Watch Series 5 (8/10, WIRED recommends) is the best smart watch for iPhone owners. The always-on display allows you to easily check the time, and the health characteristics make it an excellent training partner. Prices start at $ 299, depending on the setting you want.

  • Apple AirPods with Wireless Charging Case for $ 180 ($ 20 off): This is the second generation.
    AirPods. They’re not our Apple favorites (that would be the much better AirPods Pro), but at least here you have a wireless charging case. First-generation AirPods are also for sale and a little cheaper.

  • Apple iPad with up to $ 100 off: These offers are quite popular, so some items are pre-ordered, but you can still order now and will ship when stock is available. If you don’t need an iPad Pro model, this is a good way to save some money on Apple’s latest iPad release. The cheapest option will only cost you $ 250, but we think the $ 330 option with much more storage is a better deal. With support for Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard, plus the new cursor support on iPadOS, the seventh-generation iPad is an ideal tablet for everyone. If you still have questions, check out our iPad Buying Guide.

  • Apple HomePod for $ 200 ($ 100 off): The Apple HomePod (6/10) has great sound and built-in Siri. If you are not fully immersed in the Apple ecosystem, there are many better smart speakers, but this price is the lowest we tend to see.

  • Beats Powerbeats Pro Wireless Headphones for $ 200 ($ 50 off): Powerbeats Pro (8/10, WIRED recommends) are great for workouts, but they’re also good for listening to music. We don’t love the bulky charging case, but the $ 50 discount is perhaps enough to ignore that warning.
