Christmas Eve 2024 is just a week away, and shipping times for Apple products are beginning to extend beyond the holiday. If you’re still on the hunt for an amazing Apple gift for yourself or someone special, we’ve compiled a comprehensive list of the top Apple deals that can be wrapped up in time for the festivities, all while helping you save some money.
When exploring the Apple deals listed below, there are a couple of key points to note. First, Amazon’s stock for configurations available for holiday shipping is getting quite limited. Second, Best Buy has begun offering prices that are either comparable or nearly as low as Amazon’s, with shipping arriving before Christmas Eve. You can also utilize your local Best Buy store to secure the online deal price and opt for in-store pickup, but make sure to verify the stock availability at your specific location using their online listings before placing your order.
Update: Amazon has matched the price at $69.99 shipped with holiday delivery.
Best Buy has launched their final wave of holiday Doorbuster deals, which means you can snag a 4-pack of Apple’s AirTags for just $69.99 shipped, matching the lowest price we’ve seen all year. We’re anticipating Amazon to also price match this deal shortly, potentially even offering it for $69 to stay competitive.
Apple Watch Series 10
The Apple Watch Series 10 is undoubtedly one of the best gifts to consider wrapping up this year, whether it’s for yourself or someone else. Better yet, most configurations are currently available at Black Friday pricing on Amazon, with holiday delivery options across nearly all versions at this time.
Just make sure to verify at Best Buy that the specific configuration you desire won’t fall outside of the holiday shipping window, as many of the same deals or similarly great offers are available there as well.
Apple Watch Ultra 2
Update: Both black and natural Apple Watch Ultra 2 Doorbuster prices are now live, providing $80 off.
Right now, you can find deals on the Apple Watch Ultra 2 at Amazon for around $719.99 shipped, down from the usual $799, making it just a dollar shy of this year’s Black Friday doorbuster price. While this is a solid deal, be cautious as another Doorbuster is set to be revealed this Thursday. More details on this upcoming offer can be found here. Prices are likely to drop even further across a range of models later this week, especially with the new black variant. Therefore, if you’re not in a hurry, it may be wise to wait until later this week (we’ll be updating this post accordingly).
M3 MacBook Air
Currently, the MacBook Air is facing similar shipping delays as other items in the Mac lineup at Amazon, with many configurations already past the holiday cutoff. Nevertheless, there are still some options available here.
In addition to the following models at Best Buy, you can still find some options at Amazon that will arrive before Christmas:

M2 MacBook Air
The M2 MacBook Air may now be recognized as a previous-generation model, but it continues to offer relevant performance and recently received a 16GB RAM option from Apple. It remains an appealing choice for a casual laptop, with Amazon still listing the most affordable model featuring the RAM upgrade at just $799 shipped—that’s a $200 discount from the newer pricing of $999.
M4 MacBook Pro
At present, Amazon’s offerings for the M4 MacBook Pro lineup with guaranteed holiday delivery are quite limited. A few high-end M4 Max models are still available for timely arrival, but your best option is Best Buy. One of the more affordable choices that is still shipping on time from Amazon is the 16-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro with 48GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, priced at $2,699 ($200 off).
Although prices for more budget-friendly models aren’t as competitive as those at Amazon, Best Buy still offers many of these products with next-day delivery options, along with in-store pickup availability for your convenience.
Here are some notable configurations available at Best Buy that you can still score a deal on and receive in time for the holidays:
