We’ve got an A-list video game title, all-time price lows on refurbished iPhone 6 Plus (with max memory) and MacBook Airs, and more in this week’s best Apple deals.

Refurbished unlocked iPhone 6 Plus 128GB for $330

Still haven’t picked up a gift for Mother’s Day? Mom will like this refurbished unlocked iPhone 6 Plus 128GB way more than another bottle of aromatherapy bath oil. (And when does she have time to take a bath anyway, with all the time she spends picking up after you?)

This is the cheapest unlocked iPhone 6 Plus 128GB we’ve ever seen, and $30 under the next best price we could find right now. (Note: GSM models only.)

360-degree hybrid glass/acrylic iPhone case for $3

If you’ve invested in an iPhone, you can protect that investment for less than $3 shipped. This 360-degree hybrid tempered glass/acrylic hard case iPhone cover (available for several iPhone models) comes in $2 under the best price we could find for a similar cover.

Note: Sold by eBay retailer honeystore2011, these cases ship from China and may take up to eight weeks to arrive.

Final Fantasy VI for iPhone or iPad for $7

It’s rare to see a big-name game franchise discounted in the App Store, but that’s just what you get right now with Final Fantasy VI for iPhone or iPad. That’s an $8 drop and the lowest price we’ve seen for an iOS version of this classic RPG.

MacBook Air i5 Dual 13-inch laptop with 256GB SSD for $920

For big spenders, this MacBook Air i5 Dual 13-inch laptop with 256GB SSD will give you plenty of computing power and portability, all at a great price.

This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen on this model (it even beats the deals we saw around Black Friday), and it’s the best price we could find right now by $130. The MacBook features an Intel Broadwell Core i5 1.6GHz dual-core processor, 13.3-inch 1,440-by-900 LCD, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 802.11ac wireless, Bluetooth 4.0, Thunderbolt 2, backlit keyboard and Mac OS X 10.12 Sierra.
