Big price drops on Apple products are rare, but we've searched the March sales to find you the best deals on MacBooks, Apple watches, AirPods, AirTags, iPads and iPhones.

Best March Apple deals
The following Apple offers are the best we've seen across a variety of retailers. We've included prices from a range choice of shops so you can compare.
What makes Which? deals different?
Retailers sometimes use misleading ‘was’ and ‘before’ prices to claim their deals are good. Media sites and artificial intelligence (AI) promote deals from retailers – but do they always check them first? We don’t just take retailers’ word for it, we track actual market prices over six months. We share cheapest and average calculations and evaluate products against strict performance benchmarks. So you get good quality at honest prices.
*References to ‘average price' and 'cheapest price' are based on Which? market knowledge and information supplied by our partners. Prices are checked for the six calendar months prior to publication. Not all retailers are included in our checks.

Best AirPods deals
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation)
Average price in the past six months: £216.58
Cheapest price in the past six months: £160
- In-ear truly wireless earbuds
- Active noise cancelling
- Built-in touch controls
We like: Plenty of eartip sizes
We don’t like: Compatibility issues with Android
Apple’s flagship headphones feature a redesigned MagSafe charging case with Qi wireless charging support. They are powered by a new internal chip that Apple claims has better sound than the previous generation AirPods Pro.
Touch controls on the stems let you control the active noise cancelling, volume, and change tracks. Each earbud and the case has IPX4 water and sweat resistant – meaning they can handle splashes.

Best iPad deals
11-inch Apple iPad (2025)
Average price in the past six months: £327
Cheapest price in the past six months: £284*
- 10.9-inch screen
- 6GB Ram
- 128GB of storage
We like: Cheapest iPad since 2022
We didn't like: No Apple Intelligence
The 2025 iPad (2025) is sure to tempt Apple fans, launching at almost half the price of an iPad Air and £170 less than the iPad mini.
It has a 10.9-inch screen with 2,360 x 1,640-pixel resolution. It runs on the A16 Bionic chip, which is the same processor found in the iPhone 15.
It has a sleek finish and comes in four colours: blue, pink, silver or yellow. It doesn’t come with Apple Intelligence, though, which is Apple’s latest software features powered by AI.

iPad mini 2024
Average price in the past six months: £479
Cheapest price in the past six months: £449*
- 8.3-inch screen
- 8GB Ram
- 128GB of storage
We like: Unbeatable portability
We didn't like: The speakers could be better, based on our tests
This deal isn't a huge discount, but reductions can be scarce with Apple and this is the best offer we could find available on iPads right now. As the smallest tablet in Apple's range, with an 8.3-inch display, the iPad mini is designed for those who would prefer to have a more compact tablet that's easy to carry on the go.
Even though it is smaller than its siblings, the mini still packs the core iPadOS experience. Thanks to the most recent iPadOS 26 update, this now features windowed app multitasking.
Budding artists will be pleased to know that the iPad Mini is compatible with the Apple Pencil, although the stylus could just as easily be used for taking down some handwritten notes in a meeting or lecture.

Best MacBook deals
Apple 13-inch MacBook Air M4
Average price in the past six months: £919
Cheapest price in the past six months: £849*
- Apple M4 Pro processor
- 16GB Ram
- 256GB storage
We like: Fast and responsive
We don’t like: Low on ports – two Thunderbolt USB-C and a 3.5mm jack
This 13.6-inch laptop from Apple (there’s also a 15.3-inch larger version) is its thinnest, lightest MacBook (hence the ‘Air’ in its name).
The 256GB of storage feels stingy for the price – but it's good to see 16GB of Ram, as opposed to the 8GB on previous base models, and that powerful M4 processor.
To find out if this MacBook is the one for you, see our expert Apple 13-inch MacBook Air M4 review.

- The deal above is for the 13-inch model. The 15-inch version of the MacBook Air M4 is also available for a reduced price now. SQUIRREL_TEXT_50020085
Apple 14-inch MacBook Pro M5
Average price in the past six months: £1,549
Cheapest price in the past six months: £1,390*
- Apple M5 processor
- 16GB Ram
- 512GB storage
We like: Lightning-fast processor
We don’t like: No full-sized USB ports or face scanner
This 14-inch laptop from Apple was released in October and is getting a good discount for the first time.
It weighs 1.54kg, which is heavy for a 14-inch laptop, but this is due in part to its all-metal aluminium body and glass screen. Plus you get that powerful Apple M5 processor.
There are three USB-C ports (super-high-speed Thunderbolt 4 data-transfer format), an HDMI port, an SD card reader and a 3.5mm headphone/microphone jack. It also has a MagSafe 3 charging port and a fingerprint reader for swift, secure login.

Best iPhone deals
Apple iPhone Air
Average price in the past six months: £950
Cheapest price in the past six months: £799*
- 6.5-inch (2,763 x 1,260 pixels) Super Retina XDR display
- Upgraded front-facing selfie camera
- Estimated minimum of six years of security updates from launch
We like: Stunningly thin and light design
We don’t like: eSim-only
The iPhone Air focuses on a thin and light design above all else – it's the slimmest iPhone ever, measuring a mere 5.6mm thick and weighing just 165g. Despite its delicate profile, it feels reassuringly solid thanks to a strong titanium frame and new ‘Ceramic Shield 2’ glass. It's available in blue, gold, white and black.
It’s powered by the new A19 Pro chip and a generous 12GB of Ram, giving it a noticeable speed boost over last year's models. Storage options are plentiful, starting at 256GB and going up to 1TB. But to achieve its slim frame, Apple has made this an eSim-only phone – you'll need to contact your provider to see if you can convert it to a digital Sim.
Has Apple compromised on camera or battery functions to deliver this slender phone? Our Apple iPhone Air review reveals all.
Apple iPhone 16
Average price in the past six months: £682
Cheapest price in the past six months: £584*
- 6.1-inch (2,556 x 1,179 pixels) Super Retina XDR display with Dynamic Island
- New dedicated Camera Control button
- Estimated minimum of seven years of security updates from launch
We like: Boosted A18 performance, new camera controls and modes
We don’t like: Still uses a 60Hz refresh rate display
The Apple iPhone 16 from 2024 set a new standard at the time. Its screen is bright and sharp, and it finally gets the Dynamic Island previously reserved for Pro models. Under the hood, the new A18 chip speeds things up. Backed by a powerful 5-core GPU and 8GB of memory, it aims to make games run smoothly and apps load without a stutter. There's a main 48Mp camera, and the front-facing camera keeps its sharp autofocus for great selfies.
A new dedicated Camera Control button is a welcome addition for photographers, making it easier to line up shots. It also unlocks extra modes like macro photography (now standard) for getting super close to your subject.

Best Apple accessories deals
Apple AirTag (four-pack)
Average price in the past six months: £117.94
Cheapest price in the past six months: £59*
- Works with FindMy
- Simple to set up
- Sleek design
Sick of losing your keys, wallet or even your luggage whenever it’s checked in at the airport? If so, it might be time to add an AirTag to your list of Apple devices, as it can help you keep tabs on your most treasured items from afar.
While you can buy one AirTag at a time, the four-pack presents a better value option (especially while it’s on offer) as it means you can keep track of multiple items as needed, without having to constantly swap out the AirTag they’re paired with.
To see what the AirTag is up against, check out our round-up of the best Bluetooth trackers.
Is Apple a good brand?
Adam Speight, Which? phones expert, says:
"Apple products have some world-leading specifications and high prices to match. Finding a decent discount on its popular products can be tricky but not impossible.
"One of the best ways is to pick a slightly older version of the device you're interested in. With Apple usually supporting devices with important updates for a number of years (six for phones and tablets, and at least seven for MacBooks), you'll be able to keep an older model for a while too. You'll likely be getting a good deal if it's 20% off the launch price."
How Which? can help you find the best Apple deals
Finding good discounts on Apple products can be tricky. Unlike other tech brands, it tends to offer fairly meagre discounts, especially on newer models.
However, Apple offers good support for its product range – iPhones, for example, typically offer the longest support periods, which may be in excess of six years.
As such, the best deals on Apple products can be on predecessors to the current range. Check our reviews of Apple products, listed below, to see how they fare in our tough tests.
