The best Labor Day deals on iPads, AirPods, MacBooks and more


The best Labor Day deals on iPads, AirPods, MacBooks and more

Labor Day isn’t the holiday you usually think of with deep discounts on Apple gear, but here it is: Just before the government-mandated Monday off work in the fall, Amazon has slashed prices on AirTags, iPads, Apple Watches, and more—some of them to Prime Day levels. In fact, there’s one deal that represents an all-time low: The 9th-generation iPad for just $199.

Also worth noting: MacBooks are up to $300 off – big discounts on the coveted laptops. And if you’re a student, you may be able to save even more with Apple’s Back-to-School program.

What do all these deals mean in light of Apple’s upcoming product launch (September 9)? While you may be tempted to wait for new AirPods, Apple Watches, and the like, keep in mind that it will likely be a while before these new items are offered on special offers.

If you’re looking to make the most of Labor Day deals that go beyond tech, we’ve compiled a list of the best Labor Day deals from heavyweights like KitchenAid, Sketchers, Vitamix, and more.

This iPad may be a few years old, but it offers one of the best value for money of any tablet on the market. With this discount (which is only $20 off the lowest price ever, by the way), you’re getting a tablet that’s ideal for everything from work to play, and it’s a steal compared to other tablets.

If you prefer smaller devices to oversized displays, the Mini is the choice for you. At just 8.3 inches wide, you can easily hold it in one hand. And did we mention that this is the lowest price we’ve ever seen? This iPad has never been this affordable.

“I never realized how much I needed an iPad until I got this one. The mini is so cute and fits in my medium sized purse. It doesn’t do anything the newer or larger models can’t. Easy to carry. Simple to use and powerful,” wrote one fan.

AirPods Max are Apple’s only over-ear headphones, and they pack a ton of style. Sure, they cost a pretty penny, but you can get them for a whopping $50 off ahead of Labor Day. They have all the features you’d expect from AirPods, minus the potential inconvenience of in-ear speakers.

“The best headphones ever,” proclaimed one reviewer. “I recently had a root canal and couldn’t hear anything (my dentist said it was the first time he’d experienced that). They block out the sounds I don’t want to hear and provide great sound for the music I want to hear.”

This laptop is incredibly thin and light, making it ideal for those who travel a lot. Despite its small size, it packs a lot of power and the discount is not to be sniffed at either – especially since it’s an absolute rock-bottom price.

“I’m in love with this laptop,” said one reviewer. “(It) is a complete game changer. I’m normally a PC guy, but I finally got a Mac for a change. … The M3 chip is also insanely fast and the extra RAM definitely helps me browse more things at once. … I highly recommend it!”

This MacBook Air is powered by the M2 chip and is just as lightweight as its newer cousins, but is available at a slightly reduced price. The MacBook price has never been this low, so now is the time to take advantage of these great savings.

One fan had nothing but praise. “18 hours of battery life isn’t just marketing, the speed of the M2 is snappy and it can handle a lot more than I thought. The new screen is great. The trackpad is the best on the market, hands down.”

Say it with me, Tim Allen-style: “More power!” If you need a laptop that can withstand the rigors of a heavy workload, the MacBook Pro is a great option. Equipped with cutting-edge components that can handle anything you throw at it, this is a powerhouse for creators who need a computer that can keep up.

Plus, it’s the lowest price ever. That 15% discount might not seem like much, but you’re saving a few hundred dollars. With its large storage and lightning-fast RAM, this laptop won’t hold you back.

When was the last time you misplaced something? I spent way too much time looking for my wallet just this morning. AirTags can solve that problem and allow you to track exactly where your items go when they’re, well, gone.

Countless five-star shoppers have relied on these quarter-sized devices to keep track of their belongings. “When the AirTag is within 30 feet, your iPhone will help you locate it via an arrow on the screen. If it’s outside that range, Apple’s Find My network kicks in,” Broida says. “Any other iPhone that’s within range of your AirTag will help you pinpoint its location. That’s incredibly powerful… and kind of mind-blowing.”

If price has been holding you back from getting an Apple smartwatch, this discount on the Apple Watch SE could be just the push you need to hit that buy button. It tracks everything from your heart rate to your sleep quality and even has accident detection. Cool, right? That price is just $9 above the lowest we’ve ever seen.

“I’ve had this watch for a few months and can’t say enough good things about it!” said one five-star reviewer. “It makes it easy to track workouts and heart rate. Very easy to set up and use, not to mention the battery lasts two days! I don’t know how I lived without it! Also great for easily seeing my notifications when I’m working from home! I love being able to see work stuff as I move around my house.”
