The Best Time to Buy Electronics: A Month-by-Month Calendar

Electronics prices follow predictable seasonal patterns. Here's your month-by-month guide to the best deals.

January: TVs & Home Theater

Post-CES (Consumer Electronics Show) means last year's models get discounted. New TV lineups arrive in February-March, so January is clearance month. Expect 20-35% off.

February: Smartphones

Samsung typically launches Galaxy S series in February. Previous-gen models drop $100-200. Apple rarely discounts directly, but carrier deals peak.

March: Laptops & Computers

Spring refresh cycle begins. Last year's MacBooks and Windows laptops see $100-300 discounts at authorized resellers.

April: Headphones & Audio

Spring audio sales. Sony, Bose, and Apple headphones/earbuds see 15-25% discounts.

May: Gaming Consoles

Pre-E3/pre-summer gaming sales. Console bundles with games appear.

June: Tablets & E-Readers

Father's Day promotions. iPads and Kindles see $50-100 off.

July: Amazon Prime Day (mid-July)

The biggest mid-year sale event. Electronics across all categories see 20-40% off. This is our #1 recommended buying window.

August: Back to School

Laptops, tablets, and accessories targeted at students. Apple's education promotion runs through September.

September: New iPhones

Apple launches new iPhones. Previous-gen models drop $100. This is the best time to buy last year's iPhone.

October: Prime Big Deal Days

Amazon's fall sale event. Good for smart home, tablets, and Amazon devices.

November: Black Friday

The big one. TVs, laptops, gaming, and smart home see the deepest discounts of the year — 30-50% off across the board.

December: Cyber Monday & Holiday Sales

Last chance for holiday delivery. Deals similar to Black Friday but with more focus on smaller gift items.
