Amazon's Labor Day sale includes a trifecta of popular Apple gear — MacBook Air laptop, AirPods Max wireless headphones, and iPad. This means you can get all three pieces of the Apple puzzle at once or get just the elements you need to complete your collection of Apple gear. Whether you're going back-to-school or you're just ready for an upgrade, these deals can save you big cash.

For starters, you can save $250 on a 15-inch MacBook Air with M3 chip (2024), now priced at $1,049 with this deal. This model has 8GB of unified memory and a 256GB SSD, making it one of the more basic configurations you can choose. The beefier version with 16GB of memory and a 512GB SSD is also on sale for $250 off, bringing that price down to $1,449.

Meanwhile, you can get $130 off the Apple iPad (9th Generation). This 2021 release is a generation behind the latest iteration, but it's also an iPad for only $200. For that price, you get a 10.2-inch display that's great for streaming your favorite movies and TV, and enough power under the hood to handle creative projects, too. 

Lastly, Amazon has a massive $200 off the Apple AirPods Max wireless headphones. These over-ear noise-canceling headphones deliver excellent spatial audio and up to 20 hours of wireless listening. Plus, they pair perfectly with devices in the Apple ecosystem. The AirPods Max have technically been cheaper by a whopping $4, but we think it's still a fantastic offer.

Apple AirPods Max: $550 $399 @ Amazon

As we noted in our Apple AirPods Max review, the Apple AirPods Max are among the best wireless headphones you can buy. These over-ear headphones offer excellent sound quality, with spatial audio and active noise cancellation. Our only real complaint was the price, but this Amazon deal makes that a non-issue, given the current $150 discount.

Features: 40mm drivers, active noise cancellation, transparency mode, Apple H1 chip, nine microphones, spatial audio, and up to 20 hours of battery life.
