While the festive season often comes with plenty of deals – Black Friday to Boxing Day being prime for retailers and manufacturers – the New Year can be just as enticing for bargain hunters, especially those looking for a new Apple product.
For example, last January, according to MacRumors, the Apple Watch Series 10 hit the minimum time on Amazon, and the execution of the 10th generation iPads was also heavily discounted in the online store.According to Verge, both Best Buy and Amazon ended up reducing the price of the new iPad Mini model in mid-January, and the latter platform also offered a post-Christmas promotion on Apple AirPods Pro 2 (almost 25% off), according to BestProducts.com.2026 is on the horizon. Below are some Apple products that consumers should consider buying after the holidays are over.
Also, here are seven ways to pay less for Apple products.
Apple AirPods Pro 3: opening sales in January 2025?
TechRadar said the January sales are a way for retailers to clear inventory.The Verge notes that Apple's AirPods Pro 3 recently hit an all-time low of $199 at Amazon and Walmart.
It's impossible to predict with absolute certainty that the AirPods Pro 3 will return at this price in January, but with iterations dedicated to the holiday shopping season (and a post-season sale to make room for new SKUs from January to February), these portable headphones are definitely a contender.They feature a new, thinner, more comfortable design, better fit, and improved active noise cancellation (ANC) capabilities.
MacBook Air (M4)
MacBook Air (M4) is perfect for every Apple fan, whether you are a casual user or need some heavy lifting in creative, photo or video editing or core gaming areas.
And recently the 13-inch variant hit its all-time low of 749 at Best Buy, according to Tom Guide.Borrowing the same idea of reselling from this month for deals in 2026, shoppers should keep an eye out for MacBook Air (M4) bargains after the caps pop and the bubble flattens.
This laptop has Apple's signature Liquid Retina display, an M4 processor with a 10-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD.
Apple Watch Series 10;11 and SE 3;SE 2
Although the Apple Watch device has a recent history of recording low prices as mentioned above, there are also many models to watch - and for Apple to install, with new models that have just hit the market.
So what about those slightly older Apple Watch models: Series 10, 11 and SE 3 (A SE 2)?You can expect many of these models to face ongoing cuts in January and February, especially since they've gotten so much attention in sales this holiday season.
The flagship models of the Series 10 and 11 may come with a higher price tag — but they offer premium features.Series 11 has a scratch-resistant screen;A more power-efficient 5G modem and better battery life than the Series 10 (still a budget-conscious-but-quiet-light option)
As for the SE 2 and SE 3, the latter boasts many improvements over its predecessor, which was launched in 2022.SE 3 is, among other things, a very effective sleep monitor (including sleep assessment function, notifications about breathing disorders and sleep apnea notifications).
Overall, wearables is a growing segment with a lot of competition for Apple to face - both in its own growing inventory and in the wider space - so it offers an opportunity to own older models at better prices.
