We began tracking the best back to school accessory deals yesterday, highlighting discounts from companies like ZAGG, Belkin, AT&T, Anker, Office Depot, and more. Today, we're shifting focus to track all of the best back to school sales you can shop on Apple's own products, including low prices on AirPods Pro 2, MacBook Air, iPad, AirTag, and more.

There are a few of Apple's first-party accessories that could make for good back to school backpack accessories, including the AirTag 4-Pack at $84.99 on Amazon, which is $14 in savings and one of the best prices of the year so far on the accessory. For note taking or use in art courses, the Apple Pencil 2 is on sale for the all-time low price of $89.00 on Amazon, down from $129.00.

Lastly, the MagSafe Charger is down to $28.99 on Woot this week, down from $39.00. This is about $1 off from the lowest price we've ever tracked on the charger, and it's in new condition on Woot and comes with a one year Apple manufacturer limited warranty.

Although there are two newer models of the MacBook Air, with the 2022 13.6-inch model and 2023 15.3-inch model, the M1 notebook from 2020 should work great for common tasks like taking notes, writing papers, and using scheduling tools.

If you're willing to spend more money on a more powerful notebook, the M2 13-inch MacBook Pro is available for $1,099.00 on Amazon, down from $1,299.00.

I love how every time a product is one generation old, it's only good for "browsing the web, writing papers..."
Anything more and you'll definitely need the NEW SHINY! .... until next year, when that new powerful machine can now only handle browsing and writing, because a NEW thing has released.
My windows 98 pc from 25 years ago could do more than browsing and writing.
