Welcome to T3's guide to the best Apple deals, bringing you the lowest prices on Apple's delicious smorgasbord of current products. 2020 was a great year for Apple fans, with updates to almost all of the company's key products, including many with major upgrades.
• iPhone 12 deals: top offers from every network on all models
• Best AirPods deals: today's lowest prices
• AirPods Max review
Of course, if one of these new products is tempting you, it'd be nice to save some money when buying it, wouldn't it? That's exactly what this guide is for – to help you find the current best price on all of Apple's key products. You can skip straight to the kind of product you want, and the prices are updated automatically, always showing you the cheapest option from all the biggest retailers.
More people than ever will be buying online rather than in-store this year, for obvious reasons, and the stores know this too, and will definitely want to offer something to tempt you to shop with them instead of their rivals, so we've already seen some great discounts this sale season.
Best iPhone deals
Apple has only just launched its new iPhone 12 and 12 Pro series, so we wouldn't expect to see huge price reductions there in general, but you might see some cut-price deals from smaller networks looking to make a splash, or some bigger networks offering better-value bundles at the same price – doubling the data, say, or throwing in free headphones.
The iPhone 11 has come down in price officially now, so there may well be great price cuts there – and the iPhone 11 Pro was discontinued, so we're looking for big price drops on the remaining stock of those handsets, which will make for a fantastic deal.
Now that the new iPhone SE has been out for a while, there's a great chance of that having some great Cyber Monday deals as well – again, probably more with a drop in up-front costs or better-value contracts than a straight price cut.

Best Apple Watch deals
The Apple Watch has been a colossal hit, especially in the time since Apple has been able to offer cheaper model (and when it's included in sales, of course). With the Apple Watch Series 6 and Apple Watch SE released in the second half of 2020, we're sure some stores will be keen to cut a cheeky 10% or so off the price of those – especially some of the more premium options – to get some attention.
But the real prize this year might be the Apple Watch Series 5, which is still a fantastic option overall, and has been discontinued by Apple, so the remaining stock could go for really cheap prices.

Best iPad deals
The iPad line-up had upgrades almost completely across the board this year, with new versions of the cheapest iPad (8th gen) 10.2-inch, a new-design iPad Air (4th gen), and updates to both iPad Pro models. It's common to see about 10-15% off the cheapest iPad during sales, and we'd expect that again in 2020 – and if there's any stock of the previous model around still, that could make a serious excellent Christmas buy.
The new iPad Air is less likely to see discounts since it's barely been released, but its predecessor, the excellent iPad Air (3rd gen) will probably seem some excellent deals, since it's been discontinued and there's stock left to sell at retailers. It's also common to see some great money off the more expensive models of iPad Pro (with more storage and/or 4G included).
The iPad mini was the only model not to be upgraded this year, so we think there could be some great offers on that.

Best iPod touch deals
The iPod lives! Though all other iPod devices have been consigned to history, the touchscreen iPod – basically, an iPhone without the phone parts – is still a big hit, especially in the run-up to Christmas.
