The best Apple deals and discounts of October 2020 are here.
If you’re an Apple fan, then you know that the company’s popular iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, Apple Watch, and AirPods don’t come cheap ... and sales can be sporadic. Luckily, we watch Apple bargains like a hawk here at The Inventory and Kinja Deals, always keeping an eye out for the best deals on across the Cupertino ecosystem. Scope out low prices on AirPods Pro, the MacBook Air, and Apple Watches below, and stay tuned: we’ll be updating this roundup regularly.
True, it’s only a $15 discount, but we’re surprised to see any sale at all on the just-released Apple Watch Series 6. Both sizes of the base model Series 6 are discounted right now, and provide a faster processor along with a blood oxygen sensor and other health-centric upgrades.
You’ll get an even larger discount on the brand new core iPad, which is already marked down $34 for the 128GB model right after its release. Unlike the redesigned iPad Air, this entry-level iPad still looks the same as the old one, but it has a faster A12 Bionic chip inside (comparable to iPhone XS). The 32GB model is no longer on sale as of this writing, but at least the larger-capacity one is!
The premium AirPods are now $30 off the list price at Amazon. It’s not the lowest price we’ve seen on the AirPods Pro, but it’s still a stellar discount on some excellent wireless earbuds. These ones come with noise canceling smarts, silicone tips to improve comfort, and also a case that can be wirelessly charged.
Go Pro for $200 less than usual with this 13-inch MacBook Pro deal at Amazon. You’ll get the latest-generation model with a 10th-generation Intel Core i5 chip (2.0Ghz), 16GB RAM, and a sizable 512GB SSD, making this a pretty powerful little laptop. Note that $50 of the savings shows up at checkout, but isn’t reflected in the price shown on the Amazon listing.
Sure, the iPhone 12 is probably just weeks away, but this is a sharp deal on the current iPhone 11 if you’re OK with a renewed (refurbished) edition.
Amazon has an unlocked iPhone 11 available from $597 renewed, with the prices varying slightly based on color choice. There are larger storage options available for extra cash, too, but at least for this base model, you’re saving more than $100 off the new price.
If you like your tablets on the smaller side, you can snag the latest-generation iPad Mini for $50 off the list price at Amazon right now. This lil’ guy has a 7.9" display, an A12 Bionic processor, 64GB of internal storage, and support for Apple’s Pencil stylus. Apple’s newer and pricier iPads may pack more power, but none are as compact as the Mini.
Don’t want to go Pro? Apple’s standard current-model AirPods are also discounted at Amazon, and are marked down $30 right now for the standard edition. These buds are super-handy allies for any jaunt, large or small, and the case can be recharged with the included cable. A version with a wirelessly rechargeable case is available for $160 (that’s $39 off).
New Apple Watches are out, whether it’s the Series 6 or budget-friendlier Apple Watch SE, but both are much more expensive than this Apple Watch Series 3 at Amazon. It’s not the fastest or more perk-packed edition, but it’s still a stellar wearable to pair with your iPhone for fitness tracking, notifications, and more. It’s just $169 for the 38mm model.
Save $100 off the active noise-canceling wireless Beats Solo Pro headphones right now at Amazon in a a couple of colors. They pair easily with iOS devices thanks to Apple’s H1 chip and promise a stellar 22 hours of battery life on a full charge. The light and navy blue colors are still available as of this writing.
It’s not a huge savings, but it is an uncommon one: right now you can save $50 off the price of Apple’s largest current-gen iPad, the iPad Pro 12.9”. With a massive ProMotion screen, serious speed onboard, and even a LIDAR camera, it’s the most perk-packed tablet in Apple’s stable.
And if you want Apple’s pricey Magic Keyboard for this model, it’s also $20 off at Amazon.
If you’re on the hunt for a large, semi-recent iPhone that you can take to any network, this iPhone XR deal might be up your alley. It has a sizable 6.1” screen, is available in a handful of eye-catching colors, and the A12 Bionic processor is still plenty speedy compared to the top-end competition of today. It’s more than $300 off the original new list price when you buy this certified renewed version from Amazon, which is unlocked. The price varies slightly based on which color you choose.
Apple’s largest and newest MacBook Pro model certainly isn’t cheap, but you’ll save big on the notebook at Amazon right now. Amazon is taking $250 off the $2,400 list price right now, gaining you a high-end laptop ideal for creative work thanks to the Intel Core i7 chip, 16GB RAM, and a sizable 512GB SSD.
Keen on snagging some Beats on-ear headphones but don’t want the added bulk, battery hassle, or expense of wireless cans? No sweat: here’s the deal for you.
Amazon has the basic Beats EP headphones right now for 30% off the list price in a handful of colors. These wired cans simply plug into your device and that’s that: no charging or pairing involved.
