Set the alarm on your voice-activated home assistant and set your smart home thermometer up a few degrees, because it’s tiiiiiiiiime. Mariah Carey’s back on the radio, gift suggestions are popping up all over your feed, and the tree is ready to be taken home in the back of a stereotypically red pickup truck. Your notes app list of things to prepare for is getting longer by the day — but this doesn’t have to be the most stressful time of the year.
While yes, there might not be such a thing as a one-size-fits-all gift (except maybe “the one true candle“), one thing you can always count on this time of year is the release of hot tech gear. Some of the coolest gadgets are debuting for the season, and they’re probably on your giftee’s list already. Who wouldn’t love a new smartwatch to track their miles for their new running obsession, or an upgrade for their constantly-tangled wired earbuds?
If you’re feeling like going all out on a gift for your favorite people in your life, take our advice — it can be hard to tell if a new shirt is going to fit someone’s style, and a gift card can feel a little impersonal, but a portable tablet? A home speaker? Those are bound to be a pretty big hit across the board. The good news is that AT&T is like an electronics Santa with the hottest tech gifts of the season in stock, along with some pretty great wireless deals for both new and existing customers. Ready to check off some folks on your holiday shopping list early? We’ve put together a guide with some of our personal favorite picks that are available now at AT&T online.
Amazon
Apple AirPods Max
$549
Apple’s updated AirPods Max is a great choice for just about anyone, and it’s the ultimate listening experience. The Apple-designed driver provides high-fidelity audio, while every detail, from canopy to cushions, has been designed for an exceptional fit. These headphones feature pro-level Active Noise Cancellation, which blocks outside noise, while Transparency mode keeps you connected to your environment. Now with a USB-C connector for even more convenient charging, this pair of headphones is the full package.
Amazon
Belkin BoostCharge Pro 3
$149.99
So the person on your gifting list has every gadget in the books — they still need to keep them charged somehow! Belkin’s BoostCharge Pro 3 Wireless Charger can power up an iPhone, Apple Watch, and true wireless earbuds simultaneously without slowing down the charging speed. Plus its minimalist aesthetics would look great displayed on a nightstand or on a desk, which we can’t say for very many tech accessories.
Apple Magic Keyboard iPad Pro 11-inch (2nd Gen)
$299.99
If your giftee already has the iPad Pro, then this gift is a slam dunk to add to cart. The Apple Magic Keyboard is a great portable companion to the iPad Pro, so they can take their work on the go whenever they want. It features a trackpad with new ways to work with iPadOS, backlit keys, and front and back protection. Easy to use, and efficient — what more could you ask for?
Scosche BoomCan MagSafe Bluetooth Speaker
$25 $49.99 50% off
Know someone who doesn’t love using earbuds, or just enjoys taking their tunes outdoors? The highly-portable BoomCan MS Magnetic Wireless Speaker is for them. It can be attached to any iPhone 12 or later — or to any metal surface, for that matter — so they can enjoy anything they want to stream, stress-free.
Apple*
AirTag Leather Loop
$39
We’ve sung the praises before of Airtags for ensuring we don’t lose our checked luggage, to being placed on a pet collar to make sure our furry friends don’t get away. But tossing them around loose feels kind of wrong — let your giftee stay organized in style with this specially-tanned European leather loop. It stays firmly attached while securing their AirTag tightly in place, so they’ll always know where their prized possessions are.
Mophie Snap+ Juice Pack Wallet
$49.95
We already travel with our wallets everywhere we go — why not upgrade their wallet and attach a powerful phone charger to it while you’re at it? The Snap+ Juice Pack Wallet wirelessly charges most iPhone 13/12 series phones (and any other Qi-enabled smartphone) and comes with a convenient card holder, all in one compact accessory. It’ll easily attach to the back of their phone, so they won’t have to remember a lengthy charging cord or heavy portable battery pack whenever they go out.
Apple Watch Series 10 46mm
$11.95/month $14.73/month 19% off
Right now, you can get $100 off the Apple Watch Series 10 46mm smartwatch with this deal at AT&T — and new releases don’t typically go on sale this quickly. If your giftee has had your eye on the newest Apple Watch, now is a good time to buy. Along with a bigger display and a sleeker, lighter frame, the Series 10 watch offers quick charging and GPS+Cellular functionality, allowing use without an iPhone nearby.
Roku 4K Streaming Soundbar
$99.99
Roku’s 4K Streaming Soundbar will not only help them stream everything under the sun in one place, but it produces sound well beyond its size thanks to advanced audio engineering. The clean, room-filling sound from Dolby Audio and speech clarity will make their TV easier to hear and add depth and richness to any music they play on it.
Apple iPhone 16
$3.62/month $23.06/month 84% off
The latest iPhone is sure to be the most giftable gadget of all this year. Packed with new Apple Intelligence, this feature is designed to help you write, express yourself, and get things done effortlessly (all with groundbreaking privacy protections). Also new to the iPhone is a Camera Control, which gives you an easier way to quickly access camera tools, like zoom or depth of field, so you can take the perfect shot in record time. It’s a game-changer for anyone who’s fumbled trying to open their camera app only to miss the perfect shot. New and existing customers can get iPhone 16 for up to $700 off with eligible trade-in (Terms and restrictions apply. Subject to change).
The best part? You can also get the Apple Watch and iPad for $0.99/mo. each when you buy with any iPhone 16. Now it’s really the happiest time of the year.
Req’s 0% APR 36-mo. agmts. Well-qualified customers. Add’l terms and restrictions apply.
Apple AirPods 4 With Active Noise Cancellation
$179.99
For the friend that’s always losing exactly one AirPod, or needs something lighter than a pair of cans — it’s time for an upgrade. The latest AirPods 4 have stepped up audio quality combined with ANC that was previously reserved for the AirPods Pro, and an updated fit for all-day comfort. They’ll also get clearer calls with Voice Isolation and a new, hands-free way to interact with Siri.
