Amazon's New Year's sale is slashing prices on Apple devices — AirPods, iPads, and smartwatches from $99

If you haven't heard, wired headphones are all the rage, which is why Apple's EarPods for $15.96 is such a great deal. A slim, quality-looking design, clear sound, and comfortable fit are just a few of their best qualities. This model works with all devices that have a Lightning connector – which is iPhone 14 and before – so if you've got a newer iPhone, you'll instead want the USB-C version ($16.99 at Amazon).

The AirPods 4 are Apple's cheapest AirPods, and you can find them on sale for $99.99, which is the best price you can find right now. The AirPods 4 feature a new design for all-day comfort and feature Apple's H2 chip, which supports personalized spatial audio and voice isolation. You also get a redesigned case with 30 hours of battery life and support for USB-C for wireless charging.

Amazon has the AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation on sale for $148.99, thanks to this weekend's $30 discount. The AirPods 4 feature a new comfortable design, handy controls, and Apple's H2 chip, which supports personalized spatial audio and voice isolation.

Amazon's New Year's sale features the best-selling Apple AirTag 4-pack for $64.99. If you know someone who tends to misplace things, attach the AirTag to anything you don't want to lose or keep track of, such as a backpack, and your iPhone will locate the item.

Amazon has a rare $30 discount on the new Apple Watch SE 3, making it an excellent bargain at just $219. The Apple Watch SE 2 currently holds the position as the best budget smartwatch, but the SE 3 more than matches it – and it's a smarter buy while it's on sale this weekend.

My favorite Apple deal from Amazon's New Year's sale is a $100 discount on the brand-new Apple Watch Series 11. The thinnest Apple Watch yet, with a wraparound LTP3 OLED display, it's a great-looking watch with Apple Intelligence-powered smarts and a boosted battery compared to previous Apple Watches, clocking in at 24 hours of average use.

Apple's latest base iPad is on sale for just $299, which is only $25 more than the record-low price. The most significant upgrade for this model versus the previous generation is the newer A16 chip for faster performance, but you'll also get double the storage as standard (128GB instead of 64GB). Other features include a sharp 11-inch Liquid Retina display and solid 12MP front and back cameras, which make this iPad the best iPad for casual streamers and scrollers.

Amazon has the latest Pad Air with the M3 chipset on sale for a record-low $489.99 right now. In addition to Apple's superfast brain, this iPad features a crisp Liquid Retina display, 128GB of storage as standard, 12MP front and rear cameras, and support for Apple's AI features. Discounts are also available on the larger 13-inch model.
