ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.

When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.

ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.

Memorial Day always marks the unofficial start of summer. It also means it's a great time to find discounts, since the long weekend is a popular time for sales -- including on coveted Apple products, like iPads, AirPods, Apple Watches, and MacBooks.

We've spotted some still available Memorial Day Apple deals if you missed the chance to save over the long weekend. We also rounded up our favorite Memorial Day deals on TVs, SSDs, Apple products, laptops, phones, headphones, and outdoor gear -- but hurry, these deals may be leaving soon.

If you are deeply committed to the Apple ecosystem and you want to keep it that way, you'll want the AirPods Max 2. The upgraded sound quality is great, and Apple's Transparency Mode is a standout feature. Plus, they come in all sorts of colors to fit your style.
