There’s nothing like a shiny Apple product as a Christmas gift. The iconic scent, the integration and the user-friendliness of Apple products are in a class of their own. Any Apple product is a great gift – in fact, the products are toe-to-toe with authentic watches[1] for gifts. So if you’re looking for the perfect Apple product for gifting, here are some top picks:
Apple Watch Series 4
Forget about the latest series 5, the Series 4 is as good, if not a better deal, right now. What you’re actually just missing is the always-on display that’s an incremental addition on the 5. Otherwise, you get the bigger screen, the fall monitoring, and all the other basic features seen on the latest iteration.
The best part of the deal? Series 4 is discounted in most retailers nationwide. You can’t get this smartwatch anymore on the official Apple website. The company is pushing for the latest iteration, alongside Series 3. But in the stores, you can ask if they have available stocks. When all else fails, search for the watch in traditional and popular tech retailers.
iPhone 11
The biggest and brightest among Apple products are released just in time for Christmas. And among the three stars, the iPhone 11 is the safest bet. It’s also the most affordable, and the majority of people will have no qualms about it. The Pro models have better screens and an extra camera, but that’s about it.
The iPhone 11 is perfect for the people in your life who are yet to upgrade to the newest iPhones. They’ll find the transition easy and seamless. That’s because Apple’s iPhone-to-iPhone migration system is best in class. Available in six colors and three storage options, you’ll have fun choosing the exact phone that will suit their personalities.
AirPods 2
This year is the year of Pros in Apple – iPhone Pro, AirPods Pro, MacBook Pro. The Pro branding is marketing at its finest – get this product so you get more out of your devices. But the question is: Will you use the “Pro” features? Not likely. The AirPods Pro, for example, is priced so expensively with no new technology in it.
Sure, there’s the two-way noise canceling system, but with the excellent AirPods 2 still on the market, it’s a moot point to upgrade to the Pro branding. Get the AirPods 2[2] and you’re good to go. Most people won’t use their earphones all the time. Spending a couple of hundred dollars for an in-ear headphone is impractical. The receiver of your gifts will likely use it once or twice a week.
The new MacBook Pro 16”
The new MacBook 16” is a testament that Apple listens to its customers. A new keyboard, a better stereo system, a bigger battery, and a more streamlined cooling system are the highlights of the newly-released MacBook Pro. And these features all work together in synergy to create the best MacBook yet. And that’s not an exaggeration.
Tech reviewers and early consumers gave it glowing reviews. With a performance beating the best of the bests in the industry, it’s touted as the MacBook for the ultimate power user[3] . With this, creatives are flocking to the ecosystem once more to have their fill. It’s a bit on the pricey side, but trust us – it’s worth it.
Takeaway
The Apple ecosystem is the most exclusive on the planet. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t inclusive when it comes to integration. There is something to be said about the joys of getting a new, shiny Apple product. But the new ones can be priced so astronomically, it’s hard to justify the purchase. But when you have the deep pockets to do so, go ahead.
Suggest: International Watch Company (IWC) is a good choice for you.
