Saving Money on Apple Products for the Holidays

If you're looking to give an Apple device for the holiday season this year, you've probably thought a bit about the cost. New Apple devices often come with a steeper price tag, which can deter some buyers. If you want to save money on Apple devices, here are a few of our best tips.

1. Buy Refurbished Products

Buying preowned, refurbished devices is one way to get discount Apple products for gifts. Refurbished tech often sells for a fraction of the original retail price, so it's an excellent option for those who want to save money. 

Refurbished tech can also function like a new device. Many companies that refurbish technology use a rigorous testing process to ensure that devices look and function well. When you buy a certified refurbished Apple device, you can expect a device that works.

2. Don't Buy the Latest Model

If you're looking for money-saving tech gifts this holiday season, it may be wise to steer away from the newest iPhone, MacBook or Apple watch. Though these can be tempting, the prices are much higher than earlier models. 

One excellent way to save money on products is to buy a slightly older model. Usually, after new models come out, the prices on others lower significantly.

If you want to save even more, buy an earlier preowned model from a certified refurbisher. You will get a quality device at significantly less than the original cost.

3. Check for Deals

If you look around, you can often find coupons and deals that can save you money on Apple products. MacRumors Buyer's Guides, for example, can help you determine the best time to buy a device.

You can also watch out for sales during the back-to-school season and Black Friday. During these times, most stores offer discounts on products. Whether you're looking to gift an iPad, iPhone or MacBook, discount days can be a great buying option.

Certain Apple sellers also have clearance options for devices with minor cracks and imperfections. Clearance sections are a great way to get a deal on a product that will still function well.
