The week's top Apple deals include $200 off a MacBook Pro and $60 off AirPods Pro
I bought my first MacBook nearly 20 years ago, and ever since, I've been what you might call an Apple guy. Their products are easy to use, look great, work great — and, well, they aren't exactly cheap. That's the one downside: the price tag. Oof. Sure, my last few Macs have lasted more than a decade, but other gear — phones, watches, earbuds — is built to be upgraded every few years.
But here's a little secret from someone who follows Apple prices daily: You don't have to pay anywhere near full price. Right now, a bunch of Apple's most popular products are on sale. AirPods, the gold standard for comfortable, seamless earbuds, are just $119 on Amazon. Need a new laptop or tablet? MacBook Airs are up to $200 off. The just-released 11th-generation iPad is already on sale, and I'm a fan of the iPad mini — compact, powerful and $25 off. Even Apple Watches are discounted right now.
Add up the savings and you're not just covering a fast-food lunch — you're looking at groceries, maybe for a couple of weeks. Not bad in this economy. But like the spring weather, prices change fast. So if you see the deal you've been waiting for, don't wait too long — it probably won't last.
If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)

Is Amazon Clearing Out Dyson? This Hair Dryer Has Just Dropped to a New All-Time Low
Dyson is famously known for rarely offering discounts on its products – much like Apple – which carefully preserves its brand image by avoiding price reductions. This strategy keeps their products positioned as premium and exclusive. Even during major sales events like Black Friday or Prime Day, Dyson discounts are few and far between, which makes any price drop a rare occasion. However, today Amazon is breaking the mold with an exceptional deal on the Dyson Supersonic Nural™ hair dryer: It is at an all-time low price of $399, down from its usual list price of $499 and this 20% saving is major for such a popular high-end hair styling tool. If you're looking for such a hair dryer, don't miss this opportunity. See at Amazon The Dyson Supersonic hair dryer was designed to revolutionize the hair care experience: It features Dyson's high-speed digital motor V9 which turns at speeds of up to 110,000 rpm for fast drying and protecting hair from extreme heat damage. The motor is small, light and positioned in the handle, and it adds to balance and reducing arm fatigue while handling the product. Its intelligent heat control tracks air temperature over 40 times per second so it never reaches above its optimal point to prevent damage to hair and maintain natural shine. The Supersonic Nural has one of the most impressive features among any hair dryer in this kind of sophisticated airflow technology: It uses Dyson's Air Multiplier technology for amplifying the air three-fold which gives a high-speed stream of refrained air that dries the hair efficiently and precisely, for faster styling without compromising hair health. There are magnetic styling attachments like a smoothing nozzle, styling concentrator and diffuser which can be simply swapped out to match various hairstyles and styling needs. Dyson Supersonic Nural comes with a sleek and modern design where both comfort and efficiency for users are the prime considerations: The lightweight construction and handle design for optimal comfort enable easy handling, even when styling for hours. Noise level is also surprisingly low compared to any hair dryer, thanks to acoustic engineering that reduces noise without sacrificing power. Quiet-driven individuals will find this feature crucial. If you've been hesitant to invest in a high-end hair dryer, now is the perfect time to take advantage of this all-time low price. See at Amazon

What Apple has to say about AI this week could finally lift its battered stock
For investors, the stakes are high for Apple to deliver at its developer conference this week. Apple holds its annual Worldwide Developers Conference in Cupertino, California this week, opened by a keynote address Monday by CEO Tim Cook that many hope will have unveil an artificial intelligence strategy compelling enough to kickstart a new iPhone replacement cycle. That will be important for a stock that has floundered this year, ceding its crown as the world's most valuable public company after taking a beating from President Donald Trump's tariffs. The iPhone maker, now trailing Microsoft and Nvidia in market value, is more than 20% off its all-time high reached in late December. WWDC "is important every year, but it's probably as important as it's ever been," said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B. Riley Wealth Management. "That's going to be instructive, because Apple has been one of the biggest underperformers of the large cap technology stocks, full stop." AAPL YTD mountain Apple, year to date Reversing the narrative Investors look to the developer conference as an opportunity for Apple to reverse the narrative, especially as its fledgling AI offering has some in the company concerned Apple could face an existential crisis in the future. Its Apple Intelligence product has lagged behind other generative AI models such as those from Google-parent Alphabet , Meta Platforms and OpenAI. Still, users are confident that Apple has the time to get it right, given its history of developing new features and its massive base of customers loyal to the company's devices. "When someone says, 'What's your favorite, you know, chatbot right now? Who are you using agentically for artificial intelligence? Well, you've got, you know, five, six, seven, eight decisions to make there," Hogan said. "Typically, you only have one decision on where you're accessing them from. It's like, 'Well, this is what I use on my iPhone.' 'This is what I use on my iPad.' 'This is what I use on my Mac Book.'" "So I think that the fact that they've got a large and loyal base of users, their ability to now talk to us next week about what it is they're going to be delivering to that user base, will be exciting," Hogan said. "And the first time that they will have exciting news to talk about as it pertains to artificial intelligence." Stock catch up A positive catalyst also means Apple could start to play catch up to the other Magnificent Seven stocks. The iPhone maker is the only one of the megacaps tech companies that's down so far this quarter, off by 8%, even as investors as a whole have returned to growth stocks . "Apple can help lift the market if, in fact, it delivers a story in WWDC that is constructive around its latest rollout of devices," Hogan said. However, others on the Street are less enthused. This week, Needham analyst Laura Martin downgraded Apple to hold from buy and removed her price target, saying the iPhone maker's high valuation and Apple's slower growth has dimmed her view. She's also concerned Apple will not have anything particularly exciting to share at WWDC, citing rumors from blogs that have longered the tech company. "We have sort of a comprehensive summary of features of what they're going to say at WWDC next week, and what they're going to announce for features for iPhone 17, and neither of those feel it will be compelling enough to drive owners to upgrade their iPhones," Martin said. "So, the impact it has on Apple is, if we don't hear anything exciting or intriguing next week, then Apple, the stock, will not have a positive catalyst." Still, JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee pointed out that the summer period, from June to mid-September, is a seasonally strong one for Apple, as excitement usually ramps up over new iPhone releases. Friday capped off a winning week, with Apple rising 1.5% in the most recent five days, extending its latest move higher to a third week in four.
