Alert: Early Labor Day Deals Are Here And These Apple Products Are on Sale

Summer might be drawing to a close, but the end-of-season sales are juuuust starting to heat up. While Labor Day weekend does mark the unofficial end of summer (boo!), it also ushers in major savings (it’s all about balance, I guess??), especially on tech gadgets. And what’s at the top of our shopping list every holiday weekend? Apple.

It’s no mystery that Apple devices are pricey and rarely go on sale, but holiday weekends like Labor Day are one of your few changes outside of Black Friday to snap up Apple tech for less. Whether you’re hoping to score a new pair of AirPods, get the newest MacBook at the lowest price ever (heads up, it’s $100 off right now!) or you’re looking for the best iPad to travel with (I’m obsessed with my iPad Air), you don’t want to miss these Labor Day Apple sales.

We’ll give it to you straight: Apple doesn’t host their own sales. The best places to shop are big box stores like Amazon or Walmart. We’re pretty hype about the deals we’re seeing now, but we’ve still got a few weeks to go until the main event, so we’re feeling hopeful there’s even more to come. We’ll be keeping this story updated with the latest and greatest Apple deals, so go ahead and click that “save article” button at the top of the page so you can easily come back to see if the gadget you’ve been waiting for is on sale.

Best Labor Day AirPods Deals

Oh, AirPods. Where do we even start? Apple’s wireless earbuds are truly *that girl* of the headphone world, with superior sound quality, battery life, and a v sleek aesthetic. If you didn’t realize, there are a few different AirPod options depending on what you’re looking for. Tighter budget? The AirPods (2nd Gen) are just $99. Looking for some noise cancellation without sacrificing the earbuds design? AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) will get the job done. And then there’s my personal favorite, the AirPods Max. The over-ear headphones are comfortable to wear and elevate the AirPods audio experience to a whole new level.

Best Labor Day Apple Watch Deals

Hot take: you can wear your Apple Watch to almost any event. Swap out the band to change up the look, and keep all the convenient features you love right on your wrist. There are two models on sale right now, both of which feature sleep and heart rate monitors, activity tracking, GPS and so long as your iPhone is nearby, the ability to take texts and calls at your wrist. The Series 8 features a temperature sensor that you can use to help track your cycle. Then there’s the SE, which is more affordable and a great entrée to the Apple Watch world if you’re a first-time buyer.

Best Labor Day iPad Deals

If you’re an on-the-go kinda girl, or if you’re just looking for something more lightweight to travel with besides your heavy laptop, look no further than an iPad. On-sale picks like the iPad Mini and iPad Air weigh less than a pound and are ultra-thin, so you’ll hardly even notice they’re in your tote bag. The regular schmegular iPad (9th Gen) is a great starter tablet and, believe it or not, *still* has the OG home button. You really can’t go wrong with any iPad you pick.

Why am I freaking out right now? Oh, it’s because one of Apple’s laptops is at the lowest price we’ve ever seen. The 2020 MacBook Air is down to just $750, making it an easy under $1K purchase for a new computer. Also, the 15.3-inch 2023 MacBook Air, which literally just dropped at the beginning of the summer, is already seeing a $100 discount. If you’re looking for a MacBook Pro, the 2021 14-inch MacBook Pro model is a cool 20 percent off.
