Delivering $250 off a sizable selection of Apple Watch Ultra 2 configurations, up to 50% off smart TVs from LG and more, as well as a load of earbud deals, Android phones, console games, and more, this sale is largely carrying over some of the deals we tracked over the weekend with some extra goodies in the mix.

Aulumu A17 Rugged iPhone 17 Pro/Max Case

Buy for $21 (Reg. $30)

What we love

There are a million iPhone cases out there, many of them look almost exactly the same …but not this one. Aulumu has been a brand that has been popping up more regularly on our radar and you can now score a nice deal on its military-grade A17 Rugged case with a unique look, anti-slip grip strips, a special honeycomb design to allow for heat dissipation, and full MagSafe compatibility.

Apple’s new 2025 black Trail Loop is getting its first price drop on Amazon today. Deals on Apple’s latest Ultra band releases are rarely all too deep, but if you had your eye on its new black/charcoal model with the new stitching details, it is now sitting at 15% off alongside some hangover deals on a few other models. 

Samsung has officially ended its Cyber Week event and transitioned over to a holiday sale of sorts. While not particularly marketed as a major sale event, many of the best offers from last week are carrying over here – some users are still seeing $200 off the Galaxy Tab S11 and everyone can still land a FREE Book Cover Keyboard Slim, there’s still a chance to land as much as $720 off Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Watch 8 is up to $150 off, and there’s a sizable selection of storage and SSD deals up for grabs as well. 

Good morning and welcome to Best of gadgetnewsonline Weekly – a one-stop shop for all of the week’s best deals on Apple gear, Samsung and Android tech, accessories for smartphones and Macs, intelligent household upgrades, and even deals to update your wardrobe. The all-new Best of gadgetnewsonline collects all of the most notable deals and organizes them neatly into one handy catalog for you to peruse every Saturday morning. This week’s best include the Best Buy 3-day Holiday Doorbuster sale (ends tomorrow) that ushered the best deal of the season on M4 MacBook Air, but there’s a whole lot more waiting below.

We spotted some seriously deep deals on iPhone 16 Pro Max courtesy of Amazon’s Renewed Premium program just after Black Friday this year. But those previous Amazon all-time lows have now been undercut in the lead up to the holidays – you can now land the 1TB model at up to $612 off the original price. 

We are quickly approaching the holidays now and the Apple deals are not only still flying, but some are even better than they were on Black Friday. There’s no telling when prices might jump back up or when shipping times will slip beyond Christmas at this point, so if you’re still looking to take advantage of special holiday pricing you might want to do it now. Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 down at the $199 Amazon all-time low, M4 MacBook Air is now sitting with its best offer of the year, Apple Watch Series 11 is still at all-time lows with $100 in savings, and there’s a whole lot more than that organized for you down below.

Your fresh batch of Target holiday Deals of the Day are now live and waiting. These offers are live for 24 hours only before its wide-ranging week 2 holiday deals go live early tomorrow morning and you can scope them all out on this landing page with some additional details below.

Target has now officially revealed its week 2 holiday sale ad – you can browse 60 pages of deals set to go live starting this Sunday down below. These deals now sit alongside today’s deals of the day, which you can check out right here, and the details on Target in-store plans we detailed for you yesterday.

Best Buy has now launched a new 3-day Holiday Doorbuster sale loaded with Apple gear, smart rings, smart TVs, kitchen gear, and more. While you will still find a better deal on AirPods Pro 3 over at Amazon as they are still down at the impressive $199 all-time low there (for now), there is one serious highlight now live as part of this sale – Best Buy is now delivering the best deal of the year on M4 MacBook Air at $250 off with a FREE $25 gift card. Head below for more details.

Update: Amazon is now offering AirPods Pro 3 at $199!

Hello! Just when you thought the previous $220 low on AirPods Pro 3 was going to be it ahead of the holidays this year, Amazon has decided to get particularly aggressive with Apple’s latest and greatest – it is now offering AirPods Pro 3 at $199 shipped.

Just after seeing the best price of the year on the M4 MacBook Air this morning at $250 off with a FREE $25 gift card attached, today’s weekend Apple deals are also landing on M4 MacBook Pro models at Amazon. While we are still tracking some solid $250 price drops on the new M5 machines, the most affordable M4 configurations dropped to Amazon lows today at $350 off the list prices. 

We tracked some notable iPad deals for Black Friday this year, and there are even some solid offers still live right now. Historically speaking, Apple’s iPad Pro models tend to sort of side-step the shopping festivities to some degree – there are deals, but nothing particularly mind-blowing or official from the major retailers. This has largely been the case year around since the debut of the M4 last May, but it his very much not the case with the nearly $450 price drop live on the 13-inch 512GB model at Amazon right now. 

Friday afternoon’s top Android game and app deals courtesy of Google Play are now ready to roll. We have highlights like Dead Cells, Super Onion Boy 2, BE-A Walker, Slaps And Beans 2, and a load of freebie icon packs too. On your way down be sure to check out Best Buy Week 2 Holiday PC gaming deals at up to 90% off, the Amazon Echo holiday discounts, and these official Google Pixel Watch bands at up to 40% off– all the apps are waiting after the fold. 

Your Friday afternoon edition of the best Apple Books deals are now ready to roll. Today’s lineup includes both traditional reads and audiobooks like The Challenger Sale, The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank, Astoria by Peter Stark, The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan, The House of Hades, and more. Just be sure to scope out the best price of the year on M4 MacBook Air 13-inch models that are now $250 off with a FREE $25 gift card attached alongside the ongoing Amazon all-time low on AirPods Pro 3 – this deal could disappear at anytime now. Hit the jump for a rundown of today’s best Apple Books deals. 

Alongside a series of ongoing deals on Pixel Watch – the most affordable series 4 models are now back at Black Friday low – Amazon is also landing a with some all-time low pricing on official Google Pixel Watch bands. Many of these models are compatible with both the current and previous-gen watches with deals spanning a wide variety and styles and colors. You can scope them all out right here for deals starting from $13 Prime shipped and we will highlight some favs below. 

We have already collected all of the best holiday deals now live on Amazon Devices, including a new low on the 2025 Echo Dot Max and the Echo Spot undercutting the Black Friday price, but we also wanted to get the top-end Echo Studio under the spotlight. Amazon says this is its best sounding speaker to date, and the Alexa-equipped flagship Studio is now back at its best price ever. 

Your Friday edition of the best iOS game and app deals is now ready to roll. Alongside the ongoing Amazon all-time low on AirPods Pro 3, this morning also ushered in the best price of the year on M4 MacBook Air – the 13-incher is $250 off with a FREE $25 gift card attached – and we have secured a rare 20% off sitewide sale at Bluebonnet, even the AirPods 4 with ANC deal at 45% off is back. But for now it’s all about the apps and today’s fresh batch of discounts are waiting for you below. 

The 2025 Game Awards aired last night, with new world premieres for Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, a compile remake/re-imagining of the original Tomb Raider game, and all-new Tomb Raider Catalyst reveal, and a whole bunch more. A big congrats goes out to the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 who absolutely dominated the awards part of the show, and is deservingly taking home the Game of the Year hardware for 2025, but for now we are focused on the Amazon Game Awards sale that is live for another 11 hours or so. We featured it last night on social, but there are still some wonderful deals up for grabs, including everything from actual console games to a whole host of battelstation hardware – we have sprinkled in a few other notable game deals landing this morning as well:

The bulk of these offers can be found on this page alongside some deals for previous-gen models, but we will highlight some of our favorites below. 

If you’re still looking to land a new Pixel Watch under the tree, there are some solid price drops live right now. The latest Pixel Watch 4 models are back down at the Black Friday all-time lows while previous-gen Pixel Watch 3 units are also seeing some particularly deep discounts for folks who don’t need the latest model. Scope them all out down below. 

Amazon is still offering AirPods Pro 3 down at $199 shipped right now, but it has just brought back the $99 Cyber Monday deal on AirPods 4 with ANC as well. While it appears Amazon will not be shipping this offer in time for Christmas (at the time of writing), it likely won’t be offering this deal thereafter and it might be a good idea to lock in the discounted rate now. 

Alongside an impressive new 3-day Holiday Doorbuster sale over at Best Buy, the next batch of Target Holiday Deals of the Day are now live. This sale is more geared towards kids, household upholstery cleaners, and Instax cams, but there are some solid deals to be had. 

Amazon is still delving what is arguably the best Apple deals of the holiday season – AirPods Pro 3 at the $199 all-time low – and it might not last much longer. But Best Buy just debuted its 3-day Week 2 Holiday Doorbuster sale and it delivering a seriously great deal on the 13-inch M4 MacBook Air. It is now matching the Black Friday price while also tacking on a $25 Best Buy gift card with purchase.

The 2025 Game Awards goes live tonight Peacock Theater in Los Angeles with over 3 hours of game reveals and almost certainly some world premiers, musical performances, and…some awards too I guess. I’m really in it for the game reveals and new gameplay footage we are sure to be graced with very soon, so let’s see what Keighley and the gang have in-store for us – watch the show live along with us down below. 

While the particularly notable Nomad Black Friday sale has come and gone now, we just spotted is Rugged Band for Apple Watch Ultra and 46mm Series models down at $39.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are very much over, but the Apple deals certainly are not.

Alongside its holiday daily deals, it already pumped out quite a notable weekly holiday sale that kicked off on Sunday, but it isn’t done just yet. Ushering the best price yet on Apple Watch Series 11, its holiday sales (thus far) are not to be ignored, and not only does it have another weekly event inbound this weekend, it also announced an official last-minute Holiday Countdown Sale. 

While Samsung decided to keep the straight up cash discounts on Galaxy Tab S11/Ultra rolling, alongside the FREE keyboard case offer, we wanted to highlight the sizable $400 cash discount still live on Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra too. Some folks just don’t need or care about the latest, and the S10 Ultra is still a great tablet – especially when you can score one at $400 off. 

Your Thursday edition of the iOS game and app deals now live on the App Store awaits below. Today we have some standout classics from the Capcom library including MEGA MAN X, Ace Attorney Trilogy, and Street Fighter IV joined by titles like Stair Quest and Little Big Workshop.

Today, 12 Days of Gaming is headlined by Assassin’s Creed Shadows on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S down at $34.99, that’s 50% off the $70 list price and among the best deals we have tracked to date.

Nintendo has now unveiled the next GameCube game coming to Switch 2 via its Switch Online Nintendo Classics library – Wario World – and it’s playable right now.

Amazon is now offering the latest white 11-inch iPad Air Magic Keyboard down at $229.99 shipped – this is the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon. 

The Nothing earbud deals are flying right now, alongside an ongoing all-time low on Headphone (1), but we are also now tracking some wonderfully low holiday pricing across Nothing’s CMF branded audio gear too. You can literally get a set of wireless CMF buds under the tree (or in your EDC) starting at just $19.99 Prime shipped right now, and there are deals across just about every model in the lineup, including its latest over-ear headphones.

We are approaching that time of year when there are both great deals live on Apple gear and offers quickly disappearing, moving into delivery times beyond Christmas or just entirely selling out. We detailed this situation on the Apple Watch Series 11 at its best price ever yesterday, but we also wanted to touch base regarding iPad 11 – Apple’s most affordable current-generation iPad is quickly selling out entirely at Amazon and the window to grab one at $279 is starting to close.
