iPhone SE - $399

The iPhone SE is Apple’s most affordable phone, but it still manages to pack in the latest A13 Bionic processor, a camera capable of Portrait Mode, and wireless charging.

Apple Watch Series 3 - $199

Even though this isn’t the latest Apple Watch, it’s capable of running the latest watchOS operating system, and will last for years. The Apple Watch supplements your iPhone, offering notifications and quick actions on the go, while also offering lifesaving health capabilities.

iPad & Logitech Combo Touch - $499

The 7th-generation iPad is Apple’s most affordable iPad, but it’s more than enough for the average user. With keyboard compatibility, an A10X Fusion chip, and iPadOS, this device is powerful enough for almost everything you want to do.

With iPadOS and the Logitech Combo Touch Keyboard Case, you can even use a keyboard and trackpad, and access desktop versions of websites in Safari just like on a Mac.
