We're in between Memorial Day and Father's Day, which means deals less than impressive this week. There are a few sales on iMacs and older MacBooks, so now may be a good time to buy one of those, but if you're looking for a solid deal on a new iPad or MacBook, you may want to hold out until later this month as retailers will likely be offering Father's Day discounts.

That said, we've gathered up the few deals that are available this week, and we've found some solid deals on several Apple accessories. As always, also we've rounded up a list of the best apps you can get on the cheap.

iPad Air 2

B&H Photo is offering a small discount on most of its iPad Air 2 models, dropping prices by $30 to $50. With the discount, the 16GB WiFi only iPad Air 2 is priced at $459 and the 64GB model is priced at $549.99. Prices vary somewhat by model, but there are slight discounts to be had.

Well, maybe you'll face even poorer battery performance than with the current Air 2, if Apple continues it's focus on size reduction. So think about it :)

I own a iPad 3rd Generation and honestly I don't see how people buy new iPads every year, the next iPad I'll buy is when my 3rd Gen can't handle the latest OS.

Also Sams Club is having a sale on iPads

I am with you here. I can't seem to update every time. It just does not make sense. I had an iPad 1 and then updated to an Air and that was significant enough.

I own a first gen iPad and than bought the retina 3rd gen, but than they come out with the 4th gen like 5-6 months later screwing everybody so they could release the lighting port on the iPhone first rather than releasing it on the iPad 3. I know the iPhone is there big money maker but give the iPad buyers a break seriously.
