00:01From AirPods to MacBooks, several Apple devices are getting their biggest discounts for Memorial
00:06Day. So if you've been waiting to save a bit of cash, I've got the best Apple deals linked down
00:11below. Let's start with the MacBook Neo. This thing launched in March starting at $599. And
00:17in my experience, there really isn't anything as good at this price point. It uses the A18 Pro,
00:23the same chip found in the iPhone 16 Pro, along with 8 gigabytes of RAM, making it great for less
00:29demanding productivity. $10 might not sound like a lot, but this is the first time we've seen the
00:34Neo go on sale since it was released. The M5 MacBook Airs are also on sale. The 13 and 15
00:41inch models
00:42normally run for $1099 and $1299 for the 512 gigabyte configuration. The M5 is a meaningful chip jump
00:49and 16 gigabytes of RAM is now standard across the lineup. Historically, we've seen $100 to $150 off
00:56during major sales events. And if that's what you're seeing right now, grab it. And then for audio,
01:03the AirPods 4 are Apple's entry pair. While they lack ANC, its passive noise cancellation is decent
01:10and they added in spatial audio. Normally, they retail for $129, but we've seen them drop to $89 to
01:17$99 during bigger sales. So if you're seeing them at $99 or below, I'd say that's a solid buy.
01:23Then we've got the AirPods Pro 3. These continue to be Apple's best small earbuds and arguably the
01:29best sounding pair that you can get at this price point. These added a heart rate sensor,
01:34which means you can get workout tracking right from your ears without needing your Apple Watch.
01:39ANC is two times better than the Pro 2s and these retail for normally $249 and frequently drop to
01:46$199, which is one of the better Apple deals you can find these days. That said, if you don't mind
01:52going back a generation and getting a renewed model, the AirPods Pro 2nd Gen are still a very
01:57solid pair of earbuds that you can usually save around an extra $50 right now. Apple's latest
02:04flagship over-the-ear AirPods Max 2 only launched a few months ago, bringing better noise cancellation
02:09and improved soundstage. They're normally $549, though, frequently go on sale for $530. I've seen
02:16these go as low as $509, which is probably the best you'll see all year long. Again, similar to the
02:23AirPods Pro 2, you can get a pretty solid deal on the last-gen AirPods Max for around $375.
02:34All right, how about iPads? The base iPad 11 has the A16 chip, which should be snappy for most things
02:41like browsing, streaming, and note-taking. It also supports the folio keyboard and Apple Pencil if
02:47you want to turn this into a mini-budget laptop or drawing tablet. Pricing starts at $349 for the
02:53128-gigabyte model, but its new, normal price seems to be around $320. I've seen this drop
03:00to about $270 to $280, but honestly, anything under $300 is a great deal here. For a lot of people,
03:08the iPad Air 11-inch M4 is probably going to be the sweet spot of Apple's tablet lineup,
03:13way more capable than the base iPad without the iPad Pro Premium. It retails for $599 for the 11-inch
03:21that was usually on sale for around $550, but I have seen it drop to around $520 at its lowest,
03:28so if you see it close to anything like that, I would definitely move on it. That said, if you
03:33want
03:33even more power or you want Apple's best iPad display, the iPad Pro M5 with its XDR display is
03:40the best Pro tablet you can get. It starts at $999 for its 256-gigabyte model, so if you can
03:47find it
03:47for $100 off or more, it's safe to pull the trigger. If you want a pencil to go with any
03:52of these iPads,
03:53a few of these are on sale too. The Apple Pencil Pro is $20 off, while the pencil with USB
03:59-C is $10
04:00off. I will say, back in December, we did see these go for much lower, but right now,
04:05this is the best deal you'll find.
04:09Apple's newest Watch 11 introduced new health features like hypertension and a new sleep score
04:14that helps you better understand how you're doing day to day. You can usually find this on sale for
04:20$100 off, so anything similar is a strong deal for Apple's current smartwatch. Then, the current-gen
04:27Apple Watch SE 3 is going to be a little bit more affordable if you don't need all the bells
04:31and
04:31whistles, or you want one of the best smartwatches for kids. If you can find it for under $220,
04:37that is a good buy.
04:38Now, if you didn't know, Apple also offers a 10% discount for students, teachers, and
04:43faculty members. Previously, you could visit Apple's Education Sales page and just check
04:48out and automatically get that applied savings. However, just as of this month, Apple now requires
04:54verification through Unidays for online education discounts, which checks for your status as a
04:59student, teacher, or faculty member. Most will find they're verified immediately, but Unidays says
05:05some scenarios may require customers to wait up to 24 hours. But if you face difficulties or just
05:11want to buy in person, you can still visit an Apple retail store and show your valid school ID card
05:16or proof of acceptance to get the discount there as well.
05:20All right, so that's everything worth watching this Memorial Day. I'll have the live prices linked
05:26below, which update in real time so you're always seeing the current best Apple deals. Let me know if
