The end of summer is drawing near, and while we’re sad to say “farewell” to sunny beach days and backyard barbecues, the shift in seasons is marked by one of the year’s best opportunities to save big on the brands you know and love. This Labor Day weekend, you can take advantage of exclusive deals on travel-friendly Apple watches, tablets, AirPods, laptops, AirTags, and more at Amazon.
Ahead, we’ve compiled the nine best Apple sales happening during Amazon’s Labor Day weekend event, including the internet-beloved Apple AirPods Max Headphones, currently $150 less than their original price, and the waterproof Apple Watch Series 9, currently 23 percent off. A word to the wise, though: We aren’t sure how long these deals will last, and with prices like these, stock is sure to sell out quickly.
Apple AirPods Max Wireless Over-Ear Headphones
If you’ve been eyeing the AirPods Max headphones, now is your chance to score them for $150 off. Available in five different colors, these bluetooth headphones come equipped with active noise cancellation capabilities, a 360 spatial audio function that analyzes your ears to create a personalized sound suited to your ear shape, and transparency mode that allows outside voices to pass through without interrupting whatever you’re listening to. Designed with memory foam ear cushions and a flexible mesh over-ear canopy, these headphones are comfortable enough for long flights, study sessions, and workouts galore.
Apple iPad (9th Generation)
This 9th generation iPad, currently 40 percent off for Labor Day, boasts a 10.2-inch retina display, 64GB of storage, and all-day battery life, making it perfect for playing games, watching movies, reading a book, or creating art on road trips and international flights. It features all the bells and whistles we’ve come to expect from Apple products, including wide HDR front and back cameras, a touch ID sensor, and stereo speakers — all wrapped up in a small, sleek package.
Apple Watch SE (2nd Generation)
If you know, you know: Smart watches do so much more than just tell you what time it is. This 2nd generation Apple Watch SE, currently on sale for $189, is jam packed with innovative features. Not only can you text, call, and FaceTime your synced contacts just as you would with your iPhone, but you can also use it as a personalized head-to-toe health and fitness tracker. It’s swimproof, scratch-resistant, and has built-in GPS and enhanced safety features that can help you track down assistance in the event of an emergency.
Apple Wireless MagSafe Charger
This discounted wireless MagSafe Charger has garnered more than 56,000 five-star reviews from Amazon shoppers thanks to its fast-charging and cable-free convenience. Compatible with wireless charging case AirPods and the iPhone 8 and above, this charger has built-in magnets that align with your device, providing speedy wireless charging up to 15W. Grab one (or two, or three) for quick, wireless charging at 26 percent off.
Apple 2022 13.6-inch MacBook Air
This 13.6-inch Macbook Air is great for commuters, college students, and frequent fliers. On sale for nearly $200 off, this laptop is lightweight and ultra thin, making it easy to stash in a backpack or a carry-on. It comes equipped with 256GB of storage and features a backlit keyboard, a MagSafe charging port, a liquid retina display, and up to 18 hours of battery life. One five-star reviewer shares that this 2022 MacBook Air is the “best quality Air” they’ve ever used, and that the display, sound, and battery life were impressive.
Apple AirTag 4 Pack
Small but mighty, Apple AirTags are invaluable tools that can help you track down your checked luggage, house keys, parked car, or lost pet. Simply register the AirTag with your iPhone as a new device, and it will provide real time location updates to your Find My network. This pack of four is currently on sale for nearly $20 off, making this the perfect opportunity to scoop some up ahead of your holiday travel plans.
Apple Watch Series 9
Another great Apple watch to grab this Labor Day weekend is the Series 9, currently 23 percent off at Amazon. Available in nine different colors, this smartwatch comes equipped with a powerful S9 chip that lends itself to a brighter display, faster speeds, and a special feature that allows you to double tap your thumb and index finger to navigate it without touching the screen. Other exclusive features of the Series 9 include temperature sensing, which can help you track your menstrual cycle, and an electrical heart sensor app that can alert you if you have an irregular rhythm and provide more accurate insights into your sleep cycle.
Apple AirPods (2nd Generation)
Fans of the original wireless AirPods design can score a pair for just $89 this weekend. Originally $129, these second generation AirPods come with a compact magnetic lightning charging case that easily tucks into your carry-on. With more than 24 hours of uninterrupted listening time, Siri voice control, and audio sharing capabilities, these AirPods are simple yet practical.
Apple iPad Mini (6th Generation)
For an even smaller, more compact tablet, consider the iPad Mini: It touts the same ultra-fast WiFi, high-quality retina display, all-day battery life, front and rear cameras, and 64GB storage space as the original iPad, but in a much smaller package. Just 8.3 inches in total length, this mini tablet is great for taking notes, watching movies, editing photos, and playing games while traveling. One reviewer notes that this 6th generation version is a major upgrade from previous iterations, adding that “web pages load so much faster” and that “the picture quality is unreal.”
