Best Apple Deals 2019

Great news! Three has finally started bundling the second-gen AirPods with its phone contracts instead of the old ones, but hasn't cranked up the prices - this XR deal, for example, is highly appealing. Click 'Plans with Airpods 2 & Charging Case' to see the offers.

The company also does AirPods bundles with the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max.

Right now, the two best iPhone XS deals are both from EE, and this is our favourite, offering masses of data and free subscriptions to BT Sport, Apple Music and Amazon Prime. If the upfront payment puts you off, consider the company's £50/£59 alternative - although you'll end up spending a little more in the long run.

You can get a new 3.7GHz, 6-core (9th gen) iMac - that's the top of the range iMac model for 2019 - from Laptops Direct for just over £2,000 right now.

This deal cuts the price of the 2018 Touch Bar version of the 13in MacBook Pro (there's now a new 2019 model). This version was previously £1,749 at Apple but the 2019 is only a minor processor bump (not a generational change) so we'd recommend this deal.

The iPhone X from 2017 is no longer sold by Apple, but remains an excellent phone. Amazon's price has gone up since the start of June - it used to be £729, and may go back down if you can afford to be patient - but this is still a solid price.

Here's the lowest price we can find for the latest generation of iPad Pro - this is the 11in model with 64GB and Wi-Fi, in silver. The Space Grey version is £744.

This is a superb deal for the iPhone XR from Carphone Warehouse's in-house network. Grab it now.

EE's iPhone 8 deal has improved hugely since the start of June - the upfront fee has been dropped and the cashback offer effectively reduces the monthly fee to £31.96.

Vodafone's XS Max deal, which was launched at the start of May, is the best on the market, offering a (comparatively) low monthly fee and overall cost of ownership.

You can get your hands on the 2018 MacBook Air - the one with 256GB of storage - from Scan. The discount is just over £100. 

By bundling the new AirPods with your EE contract, you make a small saving on the £159 RRP and spread the cost out.

This is our pick of the big-data XR contracts, with a 30GB allowance and low monthly fee - although Vodafone has whacked up the upfront cost by £20 since the start of June, and halved the data allocation while it's at it.

EE's £9.99 upfront/£49 per month still offers the full 60GB, plus free subscriptions to BT Sport, Apple Music and Amazon Prime. But on the basis of total cost of ownership, we narrowly prefer Vodafone's deal.

If it's the 2019 3.6GHz quad-core iMac you want, then check out Laptops Direct. The discount has increased since the start of May; you're now getting more than £100 off.

We've featured Otterbox in many of our best iPhone cases round ups. Right now, when you buy a phone case from its site, you can also get 20% off accessories like screen protectors and cables.

You can get the cellular version of the Series 4 from Vodafone for £29 per month, with no upfront payment. The price has gone up since the start of 2019 (it used to be £25 a month) but remains a fair deal.

Laptops Direct is offering the newest 2018 Mac mini (with a 256GB SSD and i5 processor, so not the entry-level model) for under £1,000 - a nice deal. It normally costs £1,099.

One step up from the non-Retina iMac is the base model of the 21.5in iMac with 4K Retina display. This is the 2017 model, so a newer version is now available from Apple, but this one is available with a discount on the original price from Laptops Direct. (We've seen better prices on Laptops Direct previously though, it was £1,143 at the beginning of June 2019).

This student discount offer also gets you up to 5% off the iPad and up to 20% off Apple Care.

You can save on the original price of this 2017 21.5in iMac at Amazon. This model has a 4K display and a 1TB Fusion Drive which combines an SSD with a hard drive for the best of both worlds. Note that Apple updated the iMac range in March 2019 and this model has been replaced with a new iMac with better specs so the previous price is a little misleading. Still, it's a much better price than the current entry-level iMac that Apple is still selling for £1,049 despite the fact that it's from 2017 too, on which basis we recommend this deal.

One of our top antivirus picks for Mac is Bitdefender, which has 50% off right now for up to three devices.
