The holidays are here and there’s no better time to snag an Apple product or, better yet, gift one to someone you care about. But the Apple universe is vast and, unless your gift recipient has a specific product request, it can be challenging trying to wade through the many iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, and more to find that one perfect gift.

Allow us to make your gift-giving a little easier. According to tech experts, these are the Apple products that are going to make perfect Christmas gifts this year, and two products to skip because they’re not worth the money.

Gift It: Apple Watch Series 7


The Apple Watch Series 7 is one of the most-wanted Apple gifts and it’s worth the money, according to experts. Aside from bringing plenty of joy, this is a watch that will help make your recipient even more productive. It starts at $399 for GPS and $499 for cellular. You can score it in one of three colors: jet black, rose gold, and silver aluminum. 

Gift It: Apple iPad Mini


Of all of the iteration of iPad, the iPad Mini has remained one of the most sought-after products. This is mainly because, for starters, it’s a reliable product. But it’s also portable and the new 2024 version features an A17 Pro chip that's Apple Intelligence ready. As for pricing, expect to pay between $499 to $799. The 2024 Watch comes in four colors: blue, purple, starlight, and space grey.

Skip It: Standard iPad


A standard iPad (read: older version, since the 10th Generation was released in 2022) is one of the oldest products now sold by Apple. Considering there are newer, more updated version of the iPad, including the Apple iPad Mini and iPad Pro, purchasing the older version is not worth the investment.

Skip It: Apple TV

There’s nothing inherently wrong with the Apple TV. The problem with it is that it was last updated in October 2022, so if you want to gift this for someone (or yourself) it’s a good idea to wait until Apple issues an upgraded version of it.
