Now that Mother's Day has come to an end and we're heading into June, deals have died down a bit. You can still get a decent discount on an iMac, older iPad, older MacBook Air, or Retina MacBook Pro, but when it comes to newer iPads and Macs, you might want to wait a week or two in case there are good Memorial Day discounts. The exception is the Retina iMac, which is available for the lowest price we've seen.
Best Buy's offering solid discounts on some iPad mini 3 models this week, so it's a good time to pick up one of Apple's smaller tablets. As usual, we've rounded up the best deals on must-have Apple accessories, and we've highlighted the best app sales of the week.

B&H Photo is offering a small discount on most of its iPad Air 2 models, dropping prices by $30 to $50. With the discount, the 16GB WiFi only iPad Air 2 is priced at $459 and the 64GB model is priced at $569.
