With Labor Day coming up in the United States on Monday, September 4, a collection of retailers have launched notable discounts on a variety of Apple and Apple-related products and accessories. Companies like Best Buy, Staples, and Belkin have debuted savings on select MacBooks, iPhones, iPads, Beats products, Apple accessories, and more, so we'll list some of the best deals below.

Many of the Labor Day deals come from Best Buy, which is running a four day sale beginning today, September 1, through Monday, September 4. As with past Best Buy sales, customers can take advantage of price matching, in-store pickup, and free shipping on sale items.

Apple Products

The discounts start with as much as $300 off of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus for Sprint customers who also sign up for the carrier's 24-month installment plan.

There are three colorways of the 128 GB Wi-Fi only iPad mini 4 on sale for $299.99, down from $399.99. Not directly part of the Labor Day sale, Best Buy this week is also offering $100 off of the latest models of the Wi-Fi only 10.5-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro.

Best Buy is offering up to $500 off of select MacBooks during the sale. Customers can buy the late 2016 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar and 256 GB of storage for $1,499.99, down from $1,799.99. The 512 GB version is also marked down to $1,599.99 from $1,999.99. The early 2016 12-inch MacBook with an Intel Core M3 processor and 256 GB of storage is priced at $899.99, down from $1,299.99. A higher-end version of the same device has been discounted as well, including an Intel Core M5 processor and 512 GB of storage at $1,099.99, down from $1,599.99.

I wanted the 2017 macbook Pro 256GB but unfortunately that one is NOT on sale..if it were for 1000 or 1100 and I could use the college coupon that would be a good deal
 
I'd hoped this was finally my chance to get Belkin's "absurdly overpriced but hey I guess they get to gouge you because no one else is filling this need" lightning audio + charge splitter, but they seem to be sold out of it, so no dice there!
 
Wow, $775 2016 12” Retina MacBook for students. That’s an agreeable price, too bad it’s not an agreeable keyboard. I was really, really tempted at the store today, but then I remembered as a student I get a lot more use from my 9.7” iPad Pro + Logitech Pro Create Keyboard + Apple Pencil with a 15” MacBook Pro I can leave at home. The keyboard on the Logitech is agruably better than any recent MacBook’s, and while I do miss MacOS, I don’t so much in the classroom taking notes.

I need one of those keyboard cases for my iPad Pro 10.5 any recommendations? The logitech one doesnt look as good as create to o bad they dont have one for the 10.5 inch..also want the macbook pro 2017 256gb but that one seems too never be on sale, and on sale I mean a good sale like the ones going on now for the retina macbook but I guess its alot to ask for a good deal on a 207 model hopefully for Black Friday

I agree about the lack of a good keyboard for the 10.5”. When it was released I got a friend to give me an employee discount on one and the Logitech Slim with the detachable keyboard and kickstand. I was contemplating selling my 9.7” Pro but I ended up returning the 10.5 solely because I couldn’t stand the Logitech design. It’s everything I hated about the Surface and lost everything I loved about the 9.7” Pro Create: the hidden pencil, lap-ability, small footprint, single pieceness and quickness of setup, etc. Also the new Slim design puts your hands so far away from the screen so swiping up to get the dock in iOS 11 was inconvenient.

I sent a lot of feedback to Logitech but I haven’t heard back. I don’t know who asked for a kickstand for portrait FaceTime calls on an iPad, or wanted a detachable keyboard that resulted in more thickness and the pencil having to be on the outside, but it seemed the design team that created the 9.7 Pro Create was canned and the Slim team just wanted to copy the Surface’s “success”.

I think the deals on the 2016 MacBook Pro are great. You can get a 2016 non-touchbar 256GB for $1100, and I doubt the 2017 is any faster. The 2017 upgrade to the 15” is basically nothing, you’re way better off getting a 2016 for $1900 at B&H (with no tax outside of NY/NJ, that’s another $150 in savings) or $2100 for the 512GB 2016
 
Has anyone else seen the iPad Pro deals disappear from the Best Buy site? I looked last night (Saturday) and the iPad Pro 10.5 256 gb wi-fi was showing a price of $649.99 and now this morning the link from this article doesn't work and the prices are back to $749.99.

Same here! I called my local Best Buy and they said it was a mistake and they were removed. He also told me that all online orders were cancelled.... hmm...
 
It should be noted that the Beats Solo3 prices are for open box items and for pick-up only. :(

Amazon does have the Gloss Black for the same price though. I would have preferred matte black or the silver but as long as they are new in-box w/ full warranty, it's fine.

I placed an order with Best Buy for a discounted 10.5 iPad Pro Saturday morning along with a Pencil ($5 off). My order still shows as processing with a delivery date for the week after next. Fingers crossed...
 
I'm tempted to pick up the 2016 MacBook to replace my "travel" laptop, the 2011 MacBook Air. I know that size is dead and it's time to move on :(. Though it is still ticking away. A little slow but does all my basic stuff just fine. Hmmm....
