If you're in the market for a laptop, tablet or smartwatch upgrade, Best Buy's limited-time Apple sale is well worth perusing with hundreds of dollars in savings. Essential Apple accessories like AirTags, Apple Pencil and chargers are also discounted.

Apple is notorious for not offering discounts on its products, which is exactly why you need to make the most of sales at third-party retailers when they crop up. Right now, for example, Best Buy is running a huge sale on a variety of Apple devices and accessories, giving you the chance to upgrade your setup for less.

Best Buy isn't listing an end date for the sale, but we expect that it won't last very long. We'd recommend getting your order in soon if you see a deal you don't want to miss. To help you make the most of the savings, we've listed the best discounts below plus some options for other retailers where prices are being matched.
