Deals on Apple tech can be hard to come by for much of the year, which is what makes these Cyber Monday offers so exciting. And although the sale has officially come and gone already, there are still a few stragglers out there that can help you score a new MacBook, iPad, Apple Watch or other gadget for hundreds off the usual price.
To help you make the most of these offers before they’re gone for good, we’ve rounded up the best holdouts still available below. Just note that shopping this late in the game means many products will only have limited colors and configurations available. We’ve also got separate roundups just for the best iPad, Apple Watch and AirPods deals, and you can check out our post-Cyber Monday laptop and tablet deal roundups if you don’t have your heart set on an Apple device.

Is Apple offering Cyber Monday discounts?
Apple almost never offers direct discounts — even during major shopping events like Cyber Monday. It does usually offer a customary gift card promotion around these events, but even that deal is no longer available.
Is Walmart an authorized Apple dealer?
Walmart is what Apple calls an “Apple Authorized Reseller,” which means it’s allowed to sell new Apple products, such as iPhones, iPads and MacBooks, both in-store and online. In March 2024, Walmart started selling the M1 MacBook Air directly to customers, making it the first time customers could purchase a Mac directly from Walmart.

All we have to do is compare what we’ve reviewed or ranked with the discounted prices around Cyber Monday, and we can easily tell if it’s a good deal. The CNET staff starts working weeks before the event, searching and browsing retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon and even the Apple Store to see if we find any nice discounts.
Where can I find the best Cyber Monday Apple deals?
You’ll find some serious bargains on Apple tech at major retailers like Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy, with smaller online competitors like Adorama and B&H frequently offering Apple savings as well.
What time of year are Apple products the cheapest?
