Early July 4 Apple Deals: Score the Lowest Prices on MacBooks, AirPods and More

Apple makes some of the most popular smartphones, laptops, smartwatches and earbuds, but Apple products do come with a hefty price tag. That's why Fourth of July sales are an excellent time to shop for an iPhone, iPad or any of Apple's accessories. Even though the Independence Day holiday is still a few weeks away, we're already seeing tons of great deals that will help you score top Apple products for less. We've rounded up all of the best deals happening as we speak so you can shop them right away. And though the actual Fourth of July is still a ways out, these deals will likely fluctuate, which means if you see something you love we suggest grabbing it while you can. And be sure to check back because we're going to be regularly updating this article to ensure you get the latest and greatest Fourth of July deals. Best early July 4 Apple deals More Apple deals: Does Apple offer early July 4 sales? It's important to note that while the Apple Store doesn't run sales for July 4 (and rarely offers discounts outside of educational promos), deals on Apple devices and accessories can be found from authorized retailers, including Amazon. The best deals usually accompany big events like Amazon Prime Day or a major holiday, both of which are coming up. There are plenty of sales where you can find discounted Apple products, including Best Buy and Walmart, making it an excellent time to shop for Apple sales on several devices. If you're looking to spend less, try foregoing the latest releases. You'll find bigger discounts on previous-generation models or refurbished devices. Should I wait until Prime Day for deals on Apple products? There's no definitive way to say whether Fourth of July sales or Prime Day deals are best. Both sales offer plenty of deals, including some of the best prices we'll see all year. Plus, in all likelihood, the two sales are going to blur into one big discount extravaganza, given their expected proximity. Fourth of July sales offer more variety in retailers, though much of your shopping may take place on Amazon anyway. There are also plenty of non-Amazon retailers that will keep their sales rolling through mid-July, often directly competing with Amazon Prime prices. Since you'll be able to shop so many Fourth of July sales in just a few weeks, you'll be able to check out the deals, grab what you need and then keep tabs on Prime Day deals later for anything you miss out on. How does CNET select the best July 4 deals? Our team of expert shoppers and deal hunters has spent years helping buyers understand which major sales and deals are legitimately good and which are more routine. That includes Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day and countless other shopping events. We've gotten good at weeding out scams and superficial deals on tech of every kind, so you see only the best offers, including Apple deals. At CNET, we look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time when choosing a deal to show you.
