Apple's holiday shipping page provides "order by" deadlines for all iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, AirPods, AirTag, and HomePod mini models that it sells, as well as for physical Apple gift cards sent by mail. The dates will fluctuate over time, so ordering gifts as early as possible is always a good idea.
