Apple products are notoriously expensive. Whether you're an Apple fan or an Apple hater, we can all agree: These things aren't cheap. That's why shopping holidays, like Amazon's Big Spring Sale, can be a great time to save on typically pricey devices. While this Spring Sale doesn't have deals on most of Apple's latest iPhones or Apple Watches, there are some great discounts on previous-gen devices—as well as one sale on a brand-new iPad.
iPad A16 deal
Apple sells a lot of different iPads, some with fancy features and inflated price tags. But most of us really just need Apple's basic slab of glass, which Apple plainly calls "iPad." To be more specific, many call this the iPad A16, as that's the chipset this tablet comes with. It's no M-series SoC, of course, but the A16 has no trouble running iPadOS 26, and I imagine it won't have issues running the latest updates for years to come.
This particular iPad only has 128GB of storage, which isn't much for a tablet in 2026. That said, if you can practice some storage management, and keep your iPad use to streaming and cloud storage for the most part, you can snag a cellular iPad for just $359.10. You can pay for a network plan if you want to, giving you the opportunity to use your iPad anywhere you can get cell service.
Apple Watch Ultra 2 deal
The Apple Watch Ultra line is designed for extreme use cases, like intense hiking, diving, or swimming. But its features can also be good for casual athletes, or anyone who wants the biggest watch display Apple makes. While Apple's Ultra 3 is $799, you can save a lot of money by buying the previous generation model—especially with this Amazon sale.
Right now, Amazon is selling the Apple Watch Ultra 2 for just $399.49. That's a great deal. While you don't get the Ultra 3's S10 chip or 5G connectivity, the Ultra 2 comes with most of the same fitness features, including a depth gauge to 40m and a siren. It also comes with cellular capabilities baked in—you'd have to spend an extra $100 to get the cellular version of the Apple Watch Series 11.
Apple Watch Series 10 (GPS + Cellular) deal
The Apple Watch Series 10, like the Ultra 2, is the last-gen Apple Watch model. And like the Ultra 2, it's perfectly usable today. In fact, it might be a better value than the Series 11, as it offers a similar suite of features for a discounted price.
The real advantage with this model right now, however, is you can score Apple's "premium" Titanium material at a huge discount. Usually, the Titanium Apple Watch starts at $799 for the 46mm option. But during Amazon's Big Spring Sale, you can pick one up for $499. My Apple Watch Series 6 is still going strong, but if it were showing even the slightest sign of failure, I'd be retiring it in favor of this watch in a heartbeat.
iPhone 13 (Renewed Premium) deal
If you need a new iPhone, you don't have to go through Apple, or even your carrier. Instead, you can opt for an unlocked, refurbished iPhone, for a fraction of the cost of a brand new unit. In this case, the iPhone 13 might just be a great value: Amazon has Big Spring Deals on the 256GB variant, and prices vary by color. Right now, the cheapest option is the red version, a color Apple doesn't offer anymore on new iPhones, for $296.05.
This isn't a brand new iPhone with all the latest bells and whistles, of course, but it's a solid device—even in 2026. It has Apple's A15 Bionic chip, the company's standard 6.1-inch OLED display, two 12MP camera (one wide, one ultra-wide), and full compatibility with the latest version of iOS. Amazon says its Renewed Premium products do not have scratches on the display, nor any cosmetic damage you can see from 12 inches way, and battery life that is great than 90% of the capacity of the product when it was new.
iPhone 14 (Renewed Premium) deal
Amazon also has a Big Spring Deal on the iPhone 14, if you're willing to pay slightly more for a slightly newer iPhone. That said, the iPhone 14 also uses Apple's A15 Bionic chip, though it has one extra GPU core than the iPhone 13. (You might notice a slight advantage in graphics-intensive apps and games.) The iPhone 14's camera is a bit better, but doesn't break any ground, and it supports Bluetooth 5.3 while the iPhone 13 supports Bluetooth 5. In fact, the only other major difference here is the iPhone 14's lack of physical SIM slot. If you need SIM card support, stick with the iPhone 13.
AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation (Renewed Premium) deal
Apple's AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation also get a decent discount during the Big Spring Sale—if you're okay buying a pair of Renewed Premium earbuds. Right now, the earbuds are 21% off, meaning you can get a pair of noise cancelling AirPods for just $118.15. That comes with modern AirPods features, like Transparency Mode, Adaptive Audio (which adjusts the volume based on your environment), and Conversation Awareness (which automatically lowers the volume when it detects you're speaking).
The only hitch here is that these AirPods are not "brand new." Again, these are Renewed Premium, which Amazon asserts have high standards for a refurbished product. That's all well and good for iPhones, but AirPods are another story, since no one wants someone's previously worn earbuds. My hope is that in this case, these are "open box" items, in which someone returned unused AirPods after breaking the seal on the packaging. But as it's impossible to know for sure, it's the risk you take to buy AirPods at a 21% discount.
