Note that $49 of the savings comes off at checkout and isn’t reflected in the price on the Amazon listing.
iPhone 11 (Renewed) | $580+
The iPhone 12 is expected to be announced this week, but if you need a new phone right now and don’t mind going refurbished, this is a solid deal on the current iPhone 11.

AirPods (2nd Gen)| $120
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.

MacBook Pro 16” | $2,099
Apple’s biggest current MacBook Pro model is a wallet-buster, as you might expect, but at least Amazon is slashing a few hundred bucks off right now.
The 16″ base model is $300 off right now, snagging you a powerful notebook ideal for creative work via an Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB RAM, and a meaty 512GB of internal storage. Bump up to the Core i9 version with a 1TB SSD and you’ll save $400 off of its higher price point.

MacBook Air (Early 2015, Renewed) | $506

If you can deal with some dated tech within, then you might consider Amazon’s refurbished deal on an 11.6″ MacBook Air from early 2015. It might not have as much zip as the current models and the screen won’t be as crisp, but this is still a slim and user-friendly Mac laptop for just under $500.
