When I first picked up a smartphone, I had a decision to make--Android or Apple? I eventually went with Android for a few different reasons, but one of the main ones was how cost-prohibitive Apple products were. This was back before more budget-friendly options like the iPhone 12 Mini were available and sales were common on smartphones. Speaking of, Best Buy's Apple Sales Event is now live, allowing you to save on all sorts of Apple products. Maybe with these discounts, your decision on what ecosystem to go with will be less clear-cut than mine?

The Apple Sales Event is no slouch either--Best Buy has put practically Apple device on sale for the occasion. The new iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro, for example? If you activate today with AT&T and have a phone to trade-in, you can save up to $800! That's an impressive deal on a newly released Apple phone.

You can also save a fair amount on MacBooks. The savings are up to $200 on the latest models, in fact, with an average savings of $150. If you buy a MacBook, you can also save $50 on AppleCare+, which offers extended technical support and hardware warranty coverage.

Or, if you're looking to find a gift for the Apple person that has it all, you can never go wrong with an Apple Gift Card. For the Apple Sales Event, picking up a $50 Apple Gift Card gets you an additional $5 Best Buy gift card and four free months of both Apple Music and Apple News+. Not a bad deal at all!

The above is only a small amount of the deals on offer, too. There are also sales on AirPods, Apple Watches, and plenty of other items, so make sure to check the sales page to see if there's something you want!

The Apple Gift Card is a versatile present that can cost as little as $25. Your friends and family will be able to spend it however they want inside the Apple ecosystem, whether on hardware or software.
