An apple a day keeps the doctor away, so we thought we’d bring you four to help kickstart your week. Though Apple gear is decidedly more expensive than its namesake fruit, these deals are some of the best prices we’ve seen on a few of our favorite picks.

Today’s best deals

MATCHES LOWEST PRICE

Apple iPad (8th generation, 32 GB)

Deal price: $280 | Street price: $330
With code 32547

A perfect tablet for most users, this feature-rich iPad offers a large screen and an intuitive operating system with superb hardware. Overall, this 8th gen iteration shares most of the same specs as its predecessor, but offers a significantly faster processor and longer battery life. The biggest downside with this model is storage. You can always make a little extra space using iCloud, but 32 GB may feel limiting if you want to download a lot of apps, games, or media to view offline.

Apple Pencil (2nd Generation)

Deal price: $100 | Street price: $125
With delayed shipping

If you’re an illustrator or like to take notes on your iPad, a stylus is a must-have accessory. Although pricier than our other picks, the Apple Pencil integrates seamlessly with USB-C iPads to deliver impressive pressure sensitivity, magnetic charging, and a handy tap system that allows you to easily toggle through settings like writing and erasing. This newer generation model also offers overall improved performance and charging capabilities over the 1st gen.

Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 12.9‑inch

Deal price: $200 | Street price: $300

Get more functionality out of your iPad with a reliable keyboard case. Our upgrade pick is both pricier and heavier than the competition, but it offers fantastic, backlit keys and a great trackpad—a useful feature that most other cases lack. The Magic Keyboard also has an improved design that allows you to freely position the iPad Pro anywhere between 90 to 125 degrees.

Apple HomePod mini Smart Speaker

Deal price: $89 | Street price: $100

We think the Apple HomePod is the best-sounding wireless option available, especially if you're deep in the Apple Ecosystem and looking for a new smart speaker. Unfortunately, it’s since been discontinued by Apple, so we've been testing out the mini instead. Although some Alexa smart speakers are better priced, this smaller HomePod is still a nice option if you rely on Siri and primarily listen to Apple Music. It also connects well with most HomeKit enabled devices—though we found the mini has some quirks when paired with the Apple TV.
