I set out to find the best budget Apple Ecosystem that you can buy today, from the iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad and MacBook. But instead of simply finding the cheapest version of each, I wanted to find products that are also still worth buying and that you can get good value from. So without further ado, let me show you the best budget Apple ecosystem in 2024!

What are your thoughts on this best value budget Apple Ecosystem? 🤔

[noobmuggle]

I always thought “budget” and “Apple” are like water & oil… They don’t go together.

[darsh_alawani]

Not sure if I would go with the 11 series in 2024. Main concern would be lack of 5G. I do understand 5G is not as widespread, but for future proofing, better to go with at least a 12 Pro/Pro Max

[salimss]

Skip on the ipad and get the iphone 13 pro instead

[InSightr]

I would skip the iPad and get some AirPods instead. This ecosystem would turns out perfect!

[SimbaandSpot]

for me:

1. Iphone 13
2. airpods 3rd gen
3. ipad air m1 with apple pencil
4. macbook air m1

are enough for me. it is not cheap especially in the country i am living in, but this is enough for me. I do not think I will update any apple products soon and i am satisfied with my choices. But my wallet is not lol.

Budget?? APPLE??? I've never seen those two words at the same place 💀🤨

[pixelgaming]

You forgot AirPods. If you want good, budget AirPods, consider the original AirPods Pro (not the Pro 2, those are expensive, not budget).
3:23 The Series 4 got WatchOS 10, but won't get WatchOS 11.

If you have a bit more money to spend, consider these:
- iPhone 13 Pro
- Apple Watch Series 7
- M1 iPad Air
- M3 13" MacBook Air
- AirPods Pro 1st Gen (or 2nd Gen USB-C if you can afford them)

[Zaidoesstuff]

I’d def go ahead with a base 13 over any 11 model, as they already have a limited version of iOS 17 so they might not get 18, and even if they do they definitely won’t get any after that.

Excellent money saving advice without sacrificing quality and performance! Thank you sooo much!

[VictoriaReginaAnn]

I have the iPhone 11 my daughter has the 11 pro. The camera on the pro is definitely so much better.

[roberthensley]

Problem with this setup is that the MacBook storage is way too low at 128 GB. Probably would be best to get rid of the iPad and get a 2020 Air with 16 GB RAM and at least 256 GB storage or get rid of the Mac and use that money to get an iPhone with a more up-to-date processor (A15 ideally).

[ronaldmcdonald]

Get an iPhone 12 instead of an iPhone 11 since the 11 only has 1 more year of software support

[Yourgray]

Wow this is a very good guide. I’ll save up to get these . I managed to get the iPhone 11pro . Up next might be the Mac . Kinda pricey for me but looks great

[NCR_trooper-]

IPhone 13 exceeds the budget.
IPhone 11 feels outdated
IPhone 12 is the best deal, you get:
Modren Design, Magsafe, 5G and the camera is practically the same as the 13

[ecpeze]

My ecosystem:

M1 iPad Pro 13”
iPhone 13 Pro Max
AirPods Pro 2nd Gen
M3 Macbook Pro 14”

[rformigli]

Excellent video as always, Dion! For me, I'll go this way:

- iPhone 11 Pro (will get iOS 18 and probably 19).
- MacBook Air M1, at least with 256GB storage and 8GB RAM, since macOS is very optimized (will get the new version, Sequoia).
- Apple Watch SE (with the S8 chip, 2 or 3 years of software support), the Apple Watch Series 5 will no longer receive updates.
- AirPods Pro 2, or if you want to save more, 1st gen, but honestly, the 2nd version is much better (functions, audio quality, battery life).
- Regarding the iPad, with the new OS version, it is very interesting, especially if you need to use it for math notes. Otherwise, I would take it off the list.

[onatics]

I currently have a watch SE 2020 m1 macbook 2020 and the 13 pro. Due a 16/15 pro soon and a m2 macbook. Thats all you need really

[marik_hadare]

My current setup: iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPad Air 3-gen, Macbook Air M1, addtional iPhone XR as a backup phone.
I was thinking about Apple Watch 5 but I'm not sure do I really need it. Only for answering calls when my phone is bag is not a big deal.

For a full 1000$ eco system, I would go for:
MacBook Air M1 (400$)
iPhone 13 (300$)
iPad 8th Gen (150$)
Apple Watch Series 5 (150$)
