Best Times to Save on Apple Products
Apple products are known for their high prices, but there are opportunities to save throughout the year. Here are the top three times to find the best deals on MacBooks and iMacs:
1. Black Friday and Prime Day Seasons
During Black Friday and Prime Day seasons, retailers like Amazon and Best Buy offer significant discounts on Apple products. These sales can start as early as October and last for a week or more. Look out for deals on a wide range of MacBook models, with savings of $150 or more.
While these deals are popular, they can also be competitive. It’s important to have your desired model in mind before the sales start to secure the best prices.
2. Back-to-School Season
Apple offers educational pricing year-round, but during the back-to-school season, they run a special sale with additional discounts. Students, parents, faculty, and staff can save on laptops and computers and receive Apple gift cards with their purchase. This is a great opportunity to get a MacBook or iMac at a lower price.
If you’re not planning on making another Apple purchase, you might want to wait for a sale at another retailer like Amazon or Best Buy. The gift card incentive is also good for anyone who has a pair of AirPods or a paid note-taking app on their back-to-school list.
After new releases are announced, Apple typically drops the prices on older generations of Macs. This can save you money, as seen with the price drop on the 13-inch M2 Air after the announcement of the 13-inch and 15-inch M3 MacBook Air.
Final tips for saving money on a Mac:
1. Keep an eye out for random sales.
2. Some Macs go on sale more frequently than others.
