Restricted by budget? No problem!

Owning a complete Apple ecosystem is a dream of many. It’s the only gadget alliance that works seamlessly with one another. It’s like the Avengers of Apple’s extended universe, where each device has its unique superpowers. But let’s be real, not everyone can afford it.

Just the thought of it can be daunting for students and those on a budget. For some, it takes months of savings to purchase that one top-notch iPhone, or should I say the no-notch iPhone? In some cases, people overspend on a maxed-out MacBook when they don’t even need all of those specs. What if I tell you that you don’t always need to spend on a high-end Apple device when you can get a bunch of different Apple products for that same cost? Surprising, right?

I’ve curated a list of 5 Apple products from different product categories that cost less than an entry-level 16” MacBook Pro. As surreal as it may sound, you can buy an iPhone, an iPad, an Apple Watch, a MacBook, and a pair of AirPods for less than twenty-five hundred bucks. Now, if you already have an iPhone or any other device from these product categories, you can skip it as you’re good to go with it for a few more years, assuming it’s a model released within the last three years.
