We are officially one week away from Christmas Eve 2024, and shipping times for Apple products are beginning to extend past the holiday. If you’re still on the hunt for a fantastic Apple gift for yourself or a loved one, we’ve compiled a list of the best Apple deals available that can still make it under the tree in time, while also helping you save some money.
Keep a few things in mind regarding the Apple deals listed below. First, Amazon’s inventory of configurations that can still be shipped for the holidays is quite limited. Second, Best Buy is now featuring discounted prices that are comparable to or slightly better than Amazon’s, with shipping still making it in time for Christmas Eve. You can also visit your local Best Buy store to secure the deal online and select in-store pickup to guarantee the item is ready for you (just remember to check the specific stock at your location through the online listings before you finalize your order).
Update: Amazon has now price matched at $69.99 shipped with holiday delivery.
Best Buy’s final surge of holiday Doorbuster deals is now available, allowing you to grab a 4-pack of Apple’s AirTags for just $69.99 shipped, which is just $1 off the lowest price we’ve seen all year. We anticipate that Amazon will soon match this deal – it may even drop to $69 to beat Best Buy.
Apple Watch Series 10
The Apple Watch Series 10 is undoubtedly one of the best gifts you can give this year, whether for yourself or someone special. Most configurations are still available at Black Friday prices on Amazon with holiday delivery across nearly all options currently.
Be sure to verify at Best Buy that the specific model you want doesn’t run the risk of slipping past the holiday delivery timeline, as many of the same deals—or very similar ones—are now available there as well.
Apple Watch Ultra 2
Update: Black and natural Apple Watch Ultra 2 Doorbuster pricing is now available for everyone at $80 off.
Currently, there are deals on the Apple Watch Ultra 2 at Amazon, with pricing around $719.99 shipped, that marks a drop from the standard $799, which is just $1 shy of this year’s Black Friday doorbuster price. This is a great offer, but do keep in mind another Doorbuster is set to launch on the Ultra 2 starting this Thursday. For all the details on the upcoming deal, check here. Pricing on several models, including the new black edition, is expected to decrease even lower later this week. Therefore, unless you need it immediately, we suggest waiting until later this week for potentially better prices (we will keep this post updated).
M3 MacBook Air
The MacBook Air is experiencing delays similar to the rest of the current Mac lineup at Amazon, with many configurations pushing past the holiday cutoff time. Nevertheless, there are still some options available.
In addition to the models mentioned below from Best Buy, here are some options you can still find at Amazon that can arrive before Christmas:

M2 MacBook Air
Although the M2 MacBook Air is now a previous-generation model, it just received an upgrade to 16GB RAM, making it a solid option for a casual laptop. You can find the most affordable model shipping from Amazon for just $799 shipped—that’s $200 below the new $999 asking price.
M4 MacBook Pro
Currently, Amazon offers few M4 MacBook Pro options with guaranteed holiday delivery. A couple of high-end M4 Max models are still listed with timely delivery, but Best Buy is likely your best bet. One of the more affordable models still shipping on time from Amazon is the 16-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro 48GB/512GB for $2,699 ($200 off).
While prices on more budget-friendly models aren’t as competitive as those at Amazon, you can still get next-day delivery on many at Best Buy, plus the convenience of in-store pickup.
Here’s a look at some notable configurations that you can still get at a discount and have before the holidays, courtesy of Best Buy:
