Google Pixel 9 — $549 (was $699)

The Pixel 9 at $150 off is excellent for anyone who wants clean Android with the best phone camera software at this price. Carrier deals (with activation) bring it down to $399 at Verizon and T-Mobile.

Apple iPhone 16 — $729 (was $799)

A modest $70 discount on the iPhone 16, available at Amazon and Best Buy. Not the deepest cut, but Apple's base iPhone rarely sees larger discounts outside of Black Friday.

Laptops

Apple MacBook Air 13 M3 — $899 (was $1,099)

The MacBook Air 13 M3 has been trending downward in price for months, and $899 is the best we have seen. With the M5 Air rumored for early 2027, retailers are clearing M3 stock. At $899, this is arguably the best laptop value on the market.

ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED — $749 (was $999)

The ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED at 25% off is a steal for anyone who wants an OLED laptop display at a budget price. Intel Core Ultra processor, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD.

Audio

Apple AirPods Pro 2 — $189 (was $249)

The AirPods Pro 2 at $189 is a recurring deal that we expect to stick around through spring. Best noise cancellation in an Apple earbud, hearing health features, and excellent sound.

Sony WH-1000XM5 — $278 (was $399)

The Sony WH-1000XM5 at $278 is their lowest price in 2026. Best-in-class noise cancellation for over-ear headphones, 30-hour battery life, and multipoint Bluetooth.

TVs

LG C4 65-inch — $1,296 (was $1,799)

Covered in our OLED deals roundup, the LG C4 at $1,296 is the best OLED value right now.
