Christmas Eve 2024 is just one week away, and delivery times for Apple products are beginning to fall behind. If you’re still on the hunt for a fantastic Apple gift for yourself or someone special, we’ve compiled a comprehensive list of the top Apple deals available that can still be wrapped up in time for the holidays while helping you save some money.
As you explore the Apple deals listed below, keep in mind a couple of key points. Firstly, Amazon has limited stock for configurations that can still arrive in time for the holidays. Secondly, Best Buy is matching or coming close to Amazon’s prices, with shipping options that could deliver ahead of Christmas Eve. Additionally, you can take advantage of Best Buy’s local stores to secure the online price and opt for in-store pickup to guarantee that you receive the item on time (just ensure you verify the stock count at your local store via the online listings below before placing your order).
Apple Watch Series 10
The Apple Watch Series 10 could arguably be one of the top gifts to consider this year, ideal for both personal use or as a present for a loved one. The bonus is that many models are currently being offered at Black Friday prices on Amazon with delivery options available across almost every variation.
Be sure to double-check Best Buy to see if the specific model you’re interested in remains within the holiday delivery timeframe; they also have many similar deals available now.
Apple Watch Ultra 2
You can currently find discounts on the Apple Watch Ultra 2 at Amazon for around $719.99 shipped, down from the standard $799 price, making it just $1 shy of this year’s Black Friday doorbuster price. While this is indeed a solid deal, be mindful that another doorbuster is set to roll out for the Ultra 2 starting this Thursday. We’ve got all the essential details you need regarding this upcoming deal right here, and prices are expected to drop even further for a variety of models later this week, including the new black variant. If you’re not in a hurry, it might be wise to wait until later this week (and we’ll ensure this post is updated).

Much like the rest of the current Mac lineup, the MacBook Air is facing a shortage at Amazon, with several configurations out of stock for holiday shipping. However, some options remain available.
