When Apple products have minimal upgrades, waiting for the next release, buying an open box or refurbished model in a few months can be the smarter move.
Find Out:
Consider This:
A slew of Apple products, including Macs, iPods and Apple Watches are going on sale this spring on Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy, according to CNN. But you might wonder what new releases Apple has in store for 2025, and which models are worth the money.
GOBankingRates tapped the experts to find out which upcoming and new Apple products are actually worth the money, breaking down value, specs and utility to help you and your family invest wisely in tech that fits your lifestyle and budget.
Price: $599
Jonathan Brax, owner of Techable and SellMac.com, recommended the new Mac Mini M4, released in November 2024. Since Apple hasn't hinted about an M5 chip, we thought it was worth mentioning.
'This new Mac Mini is getting a ton of buzz [this year] because it packs impressive power into an affordable, compact setup,' he noted.
Due to its miniature size, it's an excellent product for everyday users, students, or even professionals wanting to maximize desk space without sacrificing performance, said Brax.
'Apple's new M4 chip comes with 6GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD; and the best part is it's only $599 brand new — but I've seen Amazon deals recently knocking another $100 off,' he continued

Price: $1,599
Another Mac product that will be big this year is the M3 MacBook Pro 14-inch, according to Brax. 'The M3 MacBook Pro is one of the smartest buys you can make this year,' he said. 'It balances power and portability, making it ideal for students, creative professionals and anyone needing solid performance on the go.'
Brax noted that 'something Apple fans always appreciate' are the specs that come with it, which include 8-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 8GB unified memory, and a 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display and plenty of ports.
The M3 MacBook Pro is priced at $1,599, but you can find deals for $1,299. Brax recommended buying it refurbished from trusted sellers to maximize value.
Price: $1,099
'The upcoming MacBook Air with the M3 chip will likely be one of the best Apple products to buy this year due to its better performance, improved battery life and possibly a new design,' said Peter Barnett, VP of Product Strategy at Action1.
What makes this MacBook a great deal is that it combines the perfect balance of power and portability, making it an all-around value for students, remote workers and even those using it casually.
'The base model will likely start at around $1,099, making it a smart investment for Apple enthusiasts at a low price point,' Barnett said.
If you don't need the latest features, Barnett recommended waiting for discounts or buying last year's M2 model at a lower price.
Price: $399
Apple Watch fans are in for a treat, as Apple's 10th anniversary Apple Watch Series 10 is expected to introduce significant upgrades, according to Barnett.
'The [Series 10] will likely feature a thinner design, better battery life and new health tracking features, making it the best series yet if you rely on your Apple Watch for fitness, sleep tracking or daily convenience,' he said.
'It's worth buying new if you want the latest sensors and performance improvements, but if you're on a budget, last year's Series 9 will still be a great buy at a discount,' Barnett noted.

INVESTOR NOTICE: Apple Inc. (AAPL) Investors with Substantial Losses Have Opportunity to Lead Class Action Lawsuit
SAN DIEGO, June 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The law firm of Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announces that purchasers or acquirers of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) securities between June 10, 2024 and June 9, 2025, inclusive (the 'Class Period'), have until August 19, 2025 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff of the Apple class action lawsuit. Captioned Tucker v. Apple Inc., No. 25-cv-05197 (N.D. Cal.), the Apple class action lawsuit charges Apple and certain of Apple's top current and former executives with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. If you suffered substantial losses and wish to serve as lead plaintiff of the Apple class action lawsuit, please provide your information here: You can also contact attorneys J.C. Sanchez or Jennifer N. Caringal of Robbins Geller by calling 800/449-4900 or via e-mail at [email protected]. CASE ALLEGATIONS: The Apple class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Apple misstated the time it would take to integrate the advanced artificial intelligence ('AI')-based Siri features into its devices; (ii) accordingly, it was highly unlikely that these features would be available for the iPhone 16; (iii) the lack of such advanced AI-based features would hurt iPhone 16 sales; and (iv) as a result, Apple's business and/or financial prospects were overstated. The Apple class action lawsuit further alleges that on March 7, 2025, Apple announced it was indefinitely delaying promised updates to its Siri digital assistant. The Apple class action lawsuit alleges that on this news, the price of Apple stock fell. Then, on March 12, 2025, the Apple class action lawsuit further alleges that Morgan Stanley published a report in which analyst Erik Woodring lowered his price target on Apple from $275 to $252, asserting that the delay in introducing advanced Siri features would impact iPhone upgrade cycles throughout 2025 and 2026, and presenting evidence that roughly 50% of iPhone owners who did not upgrade to the iPhone 16 attributed their decision to such delays. On this news, the price of Apple stock fell further, according to the complaint. Thereafter, the Apple class action lawsuit alleges that on April 3, 2025, the Wall Street Journal published an article titled 'Apple and Amazon Promised Us Revolutionary AI. We're Still Waiting,' which stated, in relevant part, that '[w]ith 'more personal' Siri . . . , the tech giant[] marketed features [it] ha[s] yet to deliver,' and suggested that while 'this is challenging technology and the cost of getting it wrong is devastatingly high, especially for [a] compan[y] like Apple . . . that must build trust with customers,' 'the same responsibility applies to marketing: They shouldn't announce products until they're sure they can deliver them.' On this news, the price of Apple stock fell more than 7%, according to the complaint. Finally, on June 9, 2025, Apple hosted its Worldwide Developer Conference ('WWDC'), almost one year to the day after first announcing the suite of supposedly forthcoming Apple Intelligence features at the 2024 WWDC, and Apple failed to announce any new updates regarding advanced Siri features, according to the complaint. On this news, the price of Apple stock fell further, according to the complaint. Last year, Robbins Geller secured a $490 million recovery in a securities fraud class action case alleging Apple CEO Timothy Cook made false and misleading statements to investors – the third-largest securities class action recovery ever in the Northern District of California and the fifth-largest such recovery ever in the Ninth Circuit. In the order granting final approval of the settlement, the court recognized the 'skill and strategic vision, as well as the risk taken by [Robbins Geller]' in securing the sizeable recovery while efficiently managing the 'uniquely complex' aspects of the case against 'highly sophisticated and experienced counsel and defendants.' Learn more by clicking here. THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Apple securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Apple class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Apple class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Apple class action lawsuit. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Apple class action lawsuit.

Apple sued by shareholders over delayed Siri AI rollout, $900 billion in value lost
Apple AAPL.O was sued on Friday by shareholders in a proposed securities fraud class action that accused it of downplaying how long it needed to integrate advanced artificial intelligence into its Siri voice assistant, hurting iPhone sales and its stock price. The complaint covers shareholders who suffered potentially hundreds of billions of dollars of losses in the year ending June 9, when Apple introduced several features and aesthetic improvements for its products but kept AI changes modest. Apple did not immediately respond to requests for comment. CEO Tim Cook, Chief Financial Officer Kevan Parekh and former CFO Luca Maestri are also defendants in the lawsuit filed in San Francisco federal court. Artificial intelligence: Will AI replace Google on your iPhone? Apple thinks so. Here's why. Shareholders led by Eric Tucker said that at its June 2024 Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple led them to believe AI would be a key driver of iPhone 16 devices, when it launched Apple Intelligence to make Siri more powerful and user-friendly. But they said the Cupertino, California-based company lacked a functional prototype of AI-based Siri features, and could not reasonably believe the features would ever be ready for iPhone 16s. Shareholders said the truth began to emerge on March 7 when Apple delayed some Siri upgrades to 2026, and continued through this year's Worldwide Developers Conference on June 9 when Apple's assessment of its AI progress disappointed analysts. Apple shares have lost nearly one-fourth of their value since their December 26, 2024 record high, wiping out approximately $900 billion of market value. The case is Tucker v. Apple Inc et al, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, No. 25-05197. Reporting by Jonathan Stempel in New York; Editing by Mark Porter and Rod Nickel
