Does Apple Offer Labor Day Deals?

While the Apple Store doesn’t have a Labor Day sale — and rarely offers discounts outside of educational promotions — it’s possible to find deals on Apple devices and accessories from authorized retailers. The best deals usually coincide with big events like Prime Day or a major holiday, which makes Labor Day a great time to take advantage of an Apple sale on a variety of devices. If you’re looking to spend less, try to skip the newest releases. You’ll find bigger discounts on previous-generation models or refurbished devices.

Where are the best Labor Day sales?

You can find big discounts for Labor Day at hundreds of retailers. Some of the places you can shop for big discounts include Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Lowe’s. You’ll also find many other smaller retailers hosting Labor Day sales.

How We Pick the Best Labor Day Deals

At CNET, we have a team of expert shoppers and bargain hunters with years of experience helping shoppers understand which big sales and deals are legit and which are more routine. That includes Black Friday, Prime Day, the Fourth of July and countless other shopping events. We’ve gotten really good at weeding out the scams and superficial deals. We look at real discounts, quality ratings and time left on the sale when choosing which deals to show you.

  • Real discounts mean just that. We look at the price history of all items sold to make sure that no manufacturers are inflating prices to make the discount seem bigger than it is.
  • Quality reviews are important for any product, but especially for big purchases like grills, furniture, and appliances. If it breaks the first time you use it, the discount isn’t really worth it.
  • The remaining sale time is a big part of our review process. If a deal seems short or only available for remaining stock, we will let you know up front so you don’t come back to the deal later and be disappointed.
