Back to school Apple deals free iPhones, $99 AirPods, and more

Apple devices are undergoing major discounts this week. Now that Apple back to school deals are live across numerous retailers, we're seeing Macs and MacBooks sell for as low as $499. iPads are also selling at record price lows.  

I've been covering retail holidays for over a decade. Back to school season is different from most retail holidays in that it lasts through August and into early September. However, the deals can expire just as fast as any traditional retail holiday with no guarantee they'll resurface. 

Below I'm rounding up the best Apple back to school deals you can get right now at places like Best Buy, Amazon, and B&H Photo. As a Mac user myself, I'll be focusing on value and recommending deals that are at or near record price lows. Likewise, I'll be recommending Apple back to school deals on devices we've reviewed at Tom's Guide, so make sure to bookmark this page for the best deals of the season. 

Currently, the best Apple deals I've seen are the MacBook Air 13-inch (M2) on sale for $899 at Best Buy and the MacBook Air 13-inch (M10) on sale for $749 at Amazon. Both systems offer a tremendous value that'll last you for more than just one school year. In the case of the MacBook Air M1, you'll be getting the lowest price ever on this machine. (The M2 MacBook Air is at its second-lowest price ever and just $50 shy of its all-time low).
