Presidents’ Day 2026 Apple deals are over: the holiday fell on February 16, and Amazon’s reported offer window ran through February 18. The available coverage documents discounts on iPad, MacBook Air, and AirPods, but it does not establish prices or stock today. Treat the figures below as historical examples, not current offers.
What the February 2026 Apple sale included
Coverage of the U.S. Presidents’ Day shopping period included Apple’s iPad, MacBook Air, and AirPods, along with Apple Watch and accessories. USA TODAY’s February 18 update reported a 2025 13-inch MacBook Air with an M4 chip at 15% off and AirPods 4 at 23% off. These are discounts reported at that time, not guarantees of today’s pricing or availability. USA TODAY’s Presidents’ Day Apple deals coverage provides the dated sale context.
In a February 16 report, 9to5Mac listed AirPods Pro 3 for $210, compared with a stated regular price of $249; AirPods 4 starting at $100; USB-C AirPods Max for $449, compared with $550; and the 128GB iPad mini for $399, compared with $499. Each is a historical figure from that report, not a live price. 9to5Mac’s February 16 deal coverage records those examples.
How to assess an Apple deal before buying
A discount percentage by itself does not tell you whether two listings are comparable or whether the offer suits your needs. Check the details of the exact product and transaction:

- Configuration: Compare storage and, for iPads, Wi-Fi versus cellular connectivity. Check whether accessories are included.
- Price basis: Compare the checkout price with a clearly identified regular or list price. A deal publisher’s “record low” label is not the same as a guarantee that the offer is the best available.
- Seller and condition: Determine whether the item is new, open-box, or refurbished, and whether it is sold by the retailer or a marketplace seller. Read the applicable return and warranty terms.
- Availability and eligibility: Check stock, shipping, any membership or education requirements, and the offer’s expiration time before you pay.

Historical reporting named Amazon and Best Buy as sources of sale offers, but those reports do not establish current stock, sellers, or prices. Check the exact listing and checkout total directly at the retailer before making a purchase. Apple’s official Mac page is another reference for product information and purchase options. It also describes savings pathways for eligible education, small-business, government, and veterans or military customers; confirm current eligibility and terms with Apple. Apple’s Mac purchase page does not establish a Presidents’ Day markdown.
