The final hours of the Cyber Monday Apple deals: iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and more

iMore here reporting live to bring you all the best deals throughout the weekend and Cyber Monday.

We'll be covering all the best Apple deals from iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, AirPods and everything else in between.

Stay tuned for the best deals in the world of Apple!

Apple Watch Ultra 2 with $60 off!

We love the Apple Watch Ultra 2 at iMore — and even more now, due to a sweet $60 off at Amazon. This means you can buy one for $739, down from $799, and take advantage of its Action button, incredible battery life, watchOS 10, and more.

Looking for a HomePod?

HomePods are rarely reduced, but there are a few small discounts on Best Buy for the HomePod 2 and the HomePod mini.

You can save $15 on the larger HomePod and a smaller $5 discount on the mini. Yes, they aren't the most groundbreaking deals we've ever seen, but when a product is so rarely reduced, every little bit helps.

Want to start your own podcast? Here are our favorite deals to give you a head start.

Do you want to start your own podcast? iMore show host Daryl Baxter, has shared his favorite podcast tech, and it's all on sale for Cyber Monday.

Whether you're looking for a new microphone, dock, or even a MacBook, Daryl has picked out his favorite deals to help kickstart your podcast and get recording in no time!

The Mac deal to beat!

It's John-Anthony, iMore's How To Editor here (sorry for not introducing myself earlier). I love my M2 Mac mini, I have the base model, and it's one of the best tech products I've ever bought.

The insane $499 deal on the M2 is still live on Amazon for Cyber Monday, and I'm willing to go out on a whim and say that this is the best Mac deal you'll find this weekend.

Save on an exercise bike for Apple Fitness Plus

If you use Apple Fitness Plus or you're thinking about making the leap, a good exercise bike can go a long way to opening up some great workouts. This JOROTO X2 is our top pick and currently $100 off at Amazon. 

Almost half-price discounts on home security

If you want a great security camera that will work with your iPhone, this eufyCam 2C Pro is a fantastic starter option. With two cameras and a base station, it works with HomeKit and features weather resistance and an integrated spotlight. Now nearly half price at $159 instead of $319. 

Nab a freebie!

You don't have to break the bank to get a great bargain over the Cyber deals weekender — particularly if you're looking to taste-test a new service rather than buying a new device. Case in point: it's super easy to get months of Apple TV Plus show and movie streaming absolutely free. Check out all the ways at the link below:

8 ways to get Apple TV Plus for free on Cyber Monday

The best iPhone 15 deal of the weekend?

We've been scouring the web for great iPhone deals all month, and it's been a surprisingly good Black Friday / Cyber Monday for bargain offers on Apple's handsets.

But this one's going to be heard to beat — if you pick up an iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Pro with an AT&T or Verizon contract at Walmart, it'll throw in a $300 eGift card to spend in store. So if you're getting an iPhone anyway, and have your eye on $300 worth of other stuff in-store, it's an absolutely killer deal.

An M3 iMac alternative

Earlier this week I posited that buying a DIY Mac desktop was better value for money than an M3 iMac. All of those deals are still live and you can still build a phenomenal desktop setup for plenty less than an M3 iMac. 

• Mac mini M2 | $599 $499 at Amazon
• SAMSUNG 32" M80C UHD HDR Smart Computer Monitor| $699 $399 at Amazon
• Keychron V1 wired mechanical keyboard| $89 $59 at Amazon
• Logitech MX Master 2S | $99 $65 at Amazon

Editor's choice deal... literally!

Here's an 'Editor's Choice' deal we can 100% confirm is a legitimate banger — because our editor literally lives by it. Gerald uses the CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt dock every day of the working week when putting together iMore, and it's got a fantastic Cyber Monday price cut of $130 right now. That brings the price down from a pricey $449 to a tempting $319.96. It's got every port a Mac user could want, and comes wholeheartedly recommend from Gerald.

A good read... without any of the reading

If you can't face staring at another screen, but don't have a book to hand for nice relaxing reading session, Amazon's Audible remains the best option out there when it comes to audiobooks. It's got a great library, and its subscription-credits-and-top-up payment system means you'll always have something to listen to. If you move quick enough, you can make a big saving on that subscription too.

Normally, you'd pay $15 a month for this service, but right now you can get four months of the premium service for less than $6 a month. 

Streaming and entertainment deals

• Disney Plus (with ads) and Hulu (with ads) | $12.99 $2.99 a month
• Adobe Creative Cloud | $59.99 a month $29.98 a month
• Three months free Apple TV |  Free at Best Buy

This looks familiar...

If you long for the simple days of the iPod, and still yearn for that click-wheel experience, this knock-off MP3 player takes a lot of inspiration from Apple's world-beating pocket jukebox.

A LOT of inspiration.

It's now on sale for $47 and... has surprisingly good reviews! Just don't go expecting an iPhone experience and you might be pleasantly surprised.

• AirPods deals: Amazon | B&H Photo | Best Buy | Walmart
• Earbuds deals: Best Buy | Walmart | Amazon | Samsung | Dell
• Speaker deals: Walmart | Best Buy | Amazon | Dell
  

An AirTag deal you won't have to look too hard to find...

...because we've done the searching for you! Reduced down from $30 to just $23, that might not sound like a big saving, but adds up if you're grabbing a whole bunch. And if you're after just one or two AirTags, this is definitely the time to strike — they're usually only discounted in bundles.

Apple's tempting Gift Card offers

 Apple itself doesn't discount its products during sales events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday — it'd sully that premium brand, so leaves third-party retailers to slash the prices instead. But it's no idiot, and knows it needs to lure people to its own stores too and cut out that middle man. So instead, it looks to tempt customers in by throwing in gift cards with full-price purchase sales at this time of year. And it's no different for 2023 — take a look at what it's offering below:

• $75 when you buy an iPhone 14, iPhone 13, or iPhone SE
• Up to a $200 gift card when you buy a MacBook Air or Mac Mini
• Up to a $100 gift card when an iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad 10th generation, or iPad mini is purchased.
• Up to $50 gift card when you buy an Apple Watch Series 9 or Apple Watch SE.
• Buy a pair of AirPods 2, AirPods 3, AirPods Pro, or AirPods Max and get a $75 discount.
• Buy a HomePod or Apple TV 4K and get a $50 gift card.
• Buy a pair of Beats and get up to a $50 Gift card.

An old faithful returns — at its lowest ever price!

It's just celebrated its third birthday, but it's still going strong — the M1 MacBook Air remains the cheap-and-cheerful workhorse of the Apple MacBook line up, and has hit its lowest ever price this weekend. Knock 25% off its usual $999 asking price with this $749 deal at Amazon. It's still a great machine thanks to its first-generation Apple silicon, and we've still got a soft spot for its super-portable wedge-shaped design.

Good morning! John-Anthony here, up bright and early to cover all your Cyber Monday needs and wants.

Don't buy the wrong Apple Pencil!

The new USB-C Apple Pencil is on sale with a 10% discount, and while it's tempting to buy a newly released product for less, you shouldn't.

Anyone contemplating the USB-C Apple Pencil should opt for the Apple Pencil 2, which is currently $40 off at Amazon: it's better in nearly every way, including pressure sensitivity and magnetic charging.

Only iPad 10th generation users should even think about picking up the USB-C Pencil for $71 this Cyber Monday.

Type on the go

Have you purchased an iPad over Black Friday and are now looking for the best accessories to make your iPad setup as good as it can be? 

We've found the best deals on iPad keyboards so you can be as productive as possible on your newly unboxed tablet. My personal favorite is Apple's Magic Keyboard, it's pricy but it's well worth it especially with a discount.

Mechanical keyboards are even more awesome with a discount!

I love mechanical keyboards; I even built a custom one earlier this year. One of my favorites, the Keychron Q1 Pro is 20% off for Cyber Monday, so why not treat yourself?

If the $175 price tag is too much, Keychron has also got a huge sale across their lineup, including the hugely popular V1, for under $60!

$300 for free with an iPhone 15?

You might've missed it but Walmart is giving you $300 if you buy an iPhone 15 on Cyber Monday.

Right now at Walmart, you can buy an iPhone 15 on a discounted carrier plan $23.03/month, and Walmart will give you a $300 eGift card to spend in-store. The Walmart Gift Card Offer is available on AT&T and Verizon iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro purchases made between November 22 and December 3.

Don't choose wrong when it comes to Apple Watch!

We know lots of you are looking for a good deal on Apple Watch this Cyber Monday, but buying a Series 8 when there are so many good Series 9 deals around could be a big mistake. 

• Choose a Series 9 over these Apple Watch Series 8 Cyber Monday deals — trust me I've used both

iPad Air $100 off

The iPad line has some massive deals on it this Cyber Monday, and that means that loads of them have gone out of stock at Amazon — the iPad Air, however, is still available to pick up for a low low price.

At only $499, that's a $100 saving on one of the best iPads that money can buy. An M1 chip, some cool colors, and stunning screen — what's not to like?

Dyson Zone $200 off

Dyson, the maker of fans and hairdryers, also make a pair of very, very expensive headphones. They're expensive becuase not only do they filter our bad noise from around you with ANC so that you can listen to your music in peace, but they also filter out bad air so that you don't get sick.

With $200 off at Amazon, the Dyson Zone headphones are now 'just' $486. That gives them a lower price than the AirPods Max would be at full price — and you'll look like a Mortal Kombat character.

Kef LSX II wireless speakers $300 off

Kef makes some of the best HiFi speakers around — I should know, I've got a pair of the company's spectacular LS50 Meta passive speakers. These smaller, wireless versions might not have the 'size' of my larger models, but the LSX II are a seriously wicked pair of desk speakers. 

An HDMI port with ARC to hook them up to a TV, a USB-C port for computer duties, and three different kinds of wireless connection. With $400 off, they're currently an incredible deal as well, so we'd get in there quickly while they're still $999 at Amazon.

Samsung S95C $900 off

This Samsung TV is one of the best out there, despite Samsung's reluctance to pick up the Dolby Vision picture format. It's super bright, colorful, and very, very classy — and currently $900 of at Amazon.

Apple TV+ has never looked sweeter.

JBL Boombox3 $150 of at Best Buy

This JBL Bluetooth speaker is an absolute monster, with waterproofing and enormous passive bass radiators on either end. It's also got a massive discount in the Cyber Monday Best Buy sale, with $150 off the full price.

That means that this wicked speaker is only $349 — grab it before it's gone!

New Beats Studio Pro over 50% off at Amazon

The Beats Studio Pro may not have been audio queen Tammy's favorite headphones of the year, but at this price, they're something of a steal. That 50% off means they cost only $169 in the Cyber Monday sale — a monster saving.

They may not be an amazing pair of headphones for $349, but they are good for under $200.

Kindle Scribe $110 off 

The iPad is excellent. Colorful screen, slim chassis, slick OS — but it does have one weakness. Reading books and long PDFs can bring strain on your delicate eyes, and while attractive, that screen might not be as good for novels at 3 am when atmospheric light is dim.

The Kindle Scribe is an excellent alternative, bringing an e-ink screen and a stylus in the box. It's also $110 off at Amazon.

Bose SoundLink Revolve II $70 off at Amazon

The Soundlink Bose speakers are excellent portable speakers. This one is the top-of-the-line smart portable speaker, with Bluetooth and WiFi connection, as well as the ever-useful 3.5mm headphone jack for those physical connections.

This deal gets you the speaker for only $159 at Amazon.

Apple Watch Series 9 $70 off at Amazon

The Apple Watch Series 9, as we've definitely already said already, has an absolute corker of a deal in the Cyber Monday amazon sale. There's a $70 discount on full price so that you can get one for less this year.

We love the Series 9, and you will too — especially with a big discount.

XGIMI 4K projector $600 off

This projector deals is a wicked saving on a device that will make your Apple TV+ viewing look incredible. With a screen size of up to 200-inches, it's can cover most walls (at least in my house) and it's small enough to not take up too much space wherever you put it.

Crucial Storage $43 off

Before iMore signs off for the night (it's 1 am where we are!), here's another tasty deal for Cyber Monday.

The X9 Pro is a super speedy drive that you can fill with all your stuff when your MacBook SSD gets low on space. This $43 discount makes it $87 at Amazon, an excellent price for a 2TB SSD.

Marshall Emberton II $40 off

That's iMore singing back on for the day, ready to get you more of the best deals out there — lovely and refreshed from a late night.

How's this for a deal — $200 off 34-inches worth of LG ultrawide display. It's big, beautiful, and with a 144Hz refresh rate, everything is going to look lovely and smooth. I don't think I could live without my Ultrawide monitor, and you may well find the same thing when you pick one up yourself.

SAMSUNG 49” Odyssey G9 Gaming Monitor $400 off

How about an even bigger monitor? This massive 49-inch gaming monitor is a an absolute beast with rapid 240Hz response rate, colorful QLED display, and some very slick industrial design. I covet the monitor more than a donut for dinner, so if you're anything like me, you'll want this monitor.

Govee smart holiday lights $40 off

It's not long now until Christmas, and what gets you in the spirit of the Holiday spirit more than a set of Christmas lights? These ones can connect to HomeKit so that you can control them with Siri, or your phone for some smart holiday fun times.

Beats PowerBeats Pro $100 off

The Beats PowerBeats Pro are a solid pair of running buds — that earhook makes sure they stay in your ear when you're running, and the ANC ensures that the outside world doesn't bother you while you exercise. This deal makes them a great deal as Cyber Monday comes ever closer to its end.

Save big on the M2 MacBook Air

Apple's excellent M2 MacBook Air is $250 off in the Cyber Monday sale at Amazon, now just $1,409. If that's still too much for you, there's a $250 saving on the M1 MacBook Air as well!
