Apple's holiday guide offers carols for Christmas, workouts for New Year — and no discounts

"This year's Holiday Gift Guide features the most innovative lineup ever of iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, AirPods, and more," says the company. It's launched the gift guide garlanded with festive decorations made out of Apple devices, such as stars made out of the Apple Pencil.

"Throughout the holidays and year round, our teams are excited to connect with customers and help them discover Apple's latest products and services," Deirdre O'Brien, Apple's senior vice president of Retail + People said. "In stores and online, customers can get support choosing the device that is right for them, and receive gift ideas for everyone on their list."

The online gift guide offers a What's New list of Apple's latest devices, plus a Quick Picks selection of items ranging from an $35 AirTag keyring, to a $200 pair of Beats Fit Pro.

There's also a Personalized section, which spotlights half a dozen Apple products that can be engraved for free.

Delivery and collection for the holidays

Apple is offering two-hour courier delivery from an Apple Store, free next-day delivery, and curbside pickup at an Apple Store.

Customers can send certain Apple products and accessories in a wrapped gift box, topped with a customized card and a message on the packing slip.
