Labor Day 2026 sales are in full swing—and you have under 24 hours left to lock in some of the lowest prices of the year across Apple gear and accessories. If you’re shopping for AirPods, MacBook Airs, Mac minis, or iPhones, now’s the moment.
Apple Gear at Bargain Prices
AirPods deals dominate: the third-generation Pro model is down to $199 (from $249), and the second-gen AirPods Max can be had for $449 (regularly $549). Even standard AirPods (4th-gen) dropped to $99 from $129. AirTag 2 tags are matching all-time low pricing—single units at $24 (reg. $29), 4-packs at $80 (reg. $99).
The Mac lineup also features standout deals. The 2026 Mac mini with the new M6 chip is seeing notable discounts: 16GB/256GB units dropped slightly to $880 (vs $899), and the 24GB/512GB model now sits at $1,270 (vs $1,299). Meanwhile, MacBook Air M5 13-inch configurations—16GB RAM and 1TB storage—fell from $1,599 to $1,449, with refurbished versions dipping even further near $1,359.
Apple’s smartphone offerings are part of the flash sales too. Multiple 1TB iPhone 17 Pro variants—Cosmic Orange, Deep Blue, Silver—are hitting all-time lows around $1,210–$1,215 (reg. $1,499). For those eyeing newer budget iPhones, iPhone Air models are also discounted: 256GB for $850 (from $999), 512GB going for $1,050, and 1TB for $1,250 (from $1,400). Open-box deals trim these prices even further.
Tablets, Accessories & Peripherals
Apple’s tablet line is not left out: the M4 iPad Air sees lower pricing across storage sizes and sizes. The 11-inch 128GB model fell to $650 (reg. $749), and the 13-inch 128GB goes for $850 from $949. Accessories like the MagSafe Battery saw steep cuts—down to $59 (reg. $99)—while official Apple Watch bands started as low as $18, leather links from $18, and Sport Loops at $22.50.
Cables and charging gear followed suit: one- and multi-packs of woven USB-C cables (1m & 2m lengths) range from ~$11 to ~$30; MagSafe 3 cables come substantially cheaper in 1- and 2-pack options. Other tech accessories rounded out the deals, from portable SSDs and gaming gear to power strips and travel adapters.
Why These Deals Matter
Labor Day often marks one of the last major sale moments before fall product launches. These discounts—especially on new-chip Mac minis, AirPods, and flagship iPhones—reflect retailers’ efforts to clear inventory as Apple readies its next generation of devices. Matching or beating all-time lows suggests we’ve hit the bottom on many key SKUs, at least until the seasonal peaks return.
If you’re eyeing Apple gear, now’s the time to act—especially for larger storage iPhones, high-end Mac minis, or premium accessories. Stock is thinning fast; if your preferred model or color is available, snag it before prices rebound.
What to Watch Next
Watch for post-Labor Day promotions from Apple itself: refurbished or clearance stock may dip prices even more. Also, assess trade-in offers—sometimes they tip the value. Finally, new firmware or models arriving this fall could make these deals the best of the year, but only in hindsight.
