Fancy the newest Apple Watch? The Series 7 is certainly the most usable Apple Watch yet thanks to its larger screen and improved always-on display. Despite it only being released in mid-October, Amazon’s been cutting $50 off certain models on and off since before Christmas, reducing the price of the 41mm GPS version to £349 and the 44mm version to $379.99. It’s often only the clover sportsband version that’s reduced, but there are currently discounts on the abyss blue, midnight and starlight models too.

There are no discounts on the Series 7 in the UK, but John Lewis has £100 off the Apple Watch Series 6 GPS in red – now £279. Currys has £140 off the cellular version of the same watch – now £349. And Amazon has the Apple Watch SE for as low as £249, with £20 off various models.

If you’re interested in drawing, painting, sketching, or doing design work on the iPad, you need the Apple Pencil. This digital pen is optimised for Apple’s tablet, and is also great for writing notes, brainstorming, making architectural drawings, and even photo editing. And great news! Right now, iPad users in the US can get $30 off a 2nd generation Apple Pencil at Amazon, where the price has dropped from $129 to $99, and $19 off the first generation Apple Pencil, which is now just $89.

Looking to get the very latest and greatest iPad there is? Amazon UK has the 2021 iPad Pro (12.9-inch, Wi-Fi, 128GB version in Silver) reduced in price from the standard Apple price of £999 to £956.62. That’s a saving of over £42, and will get you all the best iPad specs, including the latest M1 chip, the latest 12.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR display, and the latest top-flight cameras; namely a 12MP wide sensor, a 10MP ultra wide sensor, and LiDAR scanner for immersive AR. Considering this brand-new iPad Pro was only released this May, that’s not bad at all.

In the US, meanwhile, we can’t find any deals on the 12.9 inch version, but you can get the 11-inch version of the 2021 iPad Pro (Wi-Fi, 128GB) at Amazon for just $749, saving you $50 on the previous price of $799.

AirTags

Worried about losing your valuables? Then Apple AirTags are the perfect solution. You attach each AirTag to a beloved item and then pair it with your iPhone. If you can’t find it, your phone can lead you to it, or if it’s nearby, you can play a sound on the AirTag’s built-in speaker. 

Best of all, there are some great discounts to be had on AirTags right now. In the US, Walmart has cut the price of AirTags from $29 to as low as $22.96, while in the UK, Amazon has discounted AirTags from £29 to as little as £16.43.

Apple MacBook Air 2020

We called the MacBook Air (2020) “an absolutely fantastic laptop” when it was released just over a year ago, and we stand by that verdict today. So you’ll be excited to known that in the UK, Currys has cut £60 off the 13.3-inch MacBook Air (2020) M1, bringing its price down to £889. 

That’s the lowest price we’ve seen to date on this first-class laptop, which comes with the super-powerful M1 chip, 8GB RAM, 256GB of SSD storage and battery life of up to 18 hours.  (That said, if Currys run out of stock, then Amazon UK has it at the same price too.)

If you’re in the US, there are also savings to be made, albeit not so dramatic. The best discount available right now on the 13.3-inch MacBook Air (2020) M1 is $20 at B&H, bringing the cost down from $999 to $979. Sure, that’s not the biggest bargain we’ve ever seen, but it is a discount nonetheless.

We’re going to get started with one of the best deals we’ve come across since the Black Friday weekend, which is $30 off the brand new 2021 10.2-inch iPad at Amazon, taking it down to just $299. Last time we saw this deal, it sold out super-fast, so if you’re interested, don’t delay. This particular model comes complete with Wi-Fi and 64GB storage. 

Sadly we couldn’t find a similar deal on the same iPad model in the UK, but Amazon UK does £20 off the brand new 2021 11-inch iPad Pro if you’re after something with more power.
