They’ve been dubbed the hottest item of the Black Friday and Cyber Weekend sales and it’s clear that Apple AirPods are top of the list for many bargain shoppers this sale season.
Apple’s nifty wireless earphones have changed how we listen to music and podcasts, with its AirPod and AirPod Pro devices offering fantastic sound quality, quick charging abilities and a minimalist design that’s equal parts efficient and aesthetic.
Whether you need a fail-safe Christmas present that’s sure-to impress, looking to upgrade models (or replace a lost ear bud), or just want to see what the fuss is all about, here are the best Cyber Monday deals to ‘add to cart’.
AIRPODS
Probably the most iconic wireless headphones on the market, these pint-size ear buds deliver great sound quality and over 24 hours of battery life in one charge. Better yet, you can swiftly start and stop your music, audio book, podcast or movie by simply taking an Airpod out of your ear and then continue from where you left off by popping the earphone back in.

ARE APPLE AIRPODS WORTH IT?
If you have the budget to spend, or just aesthetically prefer the classic Apple AirPods, they’re a great investment and have earned a very dedicated following for a reason. The sound quality is great, they’re quick to charge and pair instantly to your devices. And while no one want to lose a rogue AirPod mid-run or say, while getting off the bus (which this writer has personally done), Apple does sell both replacement buds and charging cases.
IS THE IPHONE 12 PRO NOW AVAILABLE?
The eagerly anticipated drop of the iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone Pro Max – with a tougher screen than any of its predecessors; a surgical grade stainless steel case; and industry-leading water-resistance – occurred on November 13 of this year. Among the retailers to be selling the latest drop of iPhones is Amazon, The Good Guys and Harvey Norman.
SHOULD I INVEST IN AN APPLE WATCH?
Keen to score the cult favourite Apple Watch? Here are all the deals to jump on over Cyber Weekend. Now in its sixth series, the latest of Apple Watches is definitely one to consider, whether you’re a smart watch loyalist or are new to the watch evolution.
The Apple Watch Series 6 will do everything that we’ve come to expect of this smart accessory — monitor your heart rate, establish better sleep health and motivate you to improve your fitness — which arguably, is enough to convince anyone in pursuit of a healthier lifestyle that they should adorn themselves with this watch daily.
However, thanks to remarkable new sensor technology, the Apple Watch Series 6 will also measure your blood oxygen level, informing you on the amount of oxygen circulating your body, as well as how effectively it is being absorbed. Considering the significance of this measure of health, it’s a wonder that we’ve not had the ability to monitor it day-to-day — until now.
