Apple gift cards are always a popular gift for Christmas and other holidays. If you unpacked one this year, we've put together a list of 23 ways to spend it, with all the ideas on what to buy for less than $ 100 in the United States.

Keep in mind that Apple used to offer two separate gift cards, including an Apple Store gift card for in-store products and an iTunes gift card for the purchase of content such as apps, games, TV shows, and movies. These gift cards have since been combined into Apple's all-in-one gift card, which says "Apple's all-around gift card" on the package.

To capitalize an Apple gift card on an iPhone or iPad, open the App Store, tap the photo in the upper right corner, and tap Value gift card or code.
