Apple holiday sale — 7 best deals on AirPods, Apple Watch, MacBooks and more
iPhone 15, AirPods, MacBooks and more are on sale for the holidays
The holidays are approaching fast, but there's still some time to cross those last few gifts off your list. If you have an Apple fan in your life (or are looking to treat yourself,) I've searched the web and found a bunch of great sales on Apple's most popular products.
Right now you can get the iPhone 15 free with Boost Unlimited at Amazon. There's nothing to pay at checkout and no trade-in required for this deal. Afterwards, Boost charges $60/month for unlimited talk, text and data. If you do have a phone to trade-in, you can get up to $830 off the iPhone 15 with trade-in at Best Buy.
Keep scrolling for more of my favorite Apple sales. Plus, check out the holiday laptop deals I'd recommend and the best Echo Show deals at Amazon.

iPhone SE 2022: free w/ unlimited + new line @ Verizon
New and existing members can get the iPhone SE 2022 for free when you open a new unlimited line. That's $429 off and one of the best deals we've seen. (No trade-in is required for this deal). In our iPhone SE 2022 review we said it delivers best-in-class performance and great photos for an affordable price, if you can live with a small screen. It's powered by Apple's A15 Bionic chip, which is the same CPU powering the iPhone 13 line. Other features include a 4.7-inch Retina HD display (1334 x 750), Touch ID support, 12MP wide/rear camera, 7MP FaceTime camera, 5G connectivity, and up to 15-hour battery life.

AirPods (3rd Gen): was $179 now $139 @ Amazon
LOWEST PRICE! The AirPods 3 offer Spatial Audio, which creates immersive listening experiences for music-listening, movie-watching, and more. They're also IPX4 sweat and water resistant, a feature that was previously exclusive to the AirPods Pro. In our Apple AirPods 3 review, we said they offer fantastic sound with results that give the AirPods Pro a run for its money, though remember they lack ANC and Transparency Mode.
