The Amazon Prime Big Deal Days event is set to go live tomorrow, October 8, but early Prime Day Apple deals are already popping up.
Some Apple devices are showing their lowest prices to date, like the Apple Watch Ultra 2 in the new Black Titanium color option, which is 8% off. Buyers on the hunt for new headphones should check out the high-end AirPods Max, which are at a near-record-low price of $399.
However, some current Apple device deals aren’t the best we’ve seen, and we expect even better discounts once Prime Day officially begins. For example, while the second-generation AirPods Pro are already 24% off, they still have $20 to go before matching their lowest price. We’ll update this page with more savings once Prime Big Deal Days kicks off.
The best Amazon Prime Day AirPods deals
Some of Apple’s popular AirPods are already on sale, including the brand-new AirPods 4. Though just a small $10 discount, it’s rare to see savings on such a new model. Meanwhile, the over-ear AirPods Max are just $5 more than their all-time low. But keep in mind, the model on sale is the older version with a Lightning charging port rather than USB-C.
Apple’s over-ear AirPods Max boast a convenient selection of Apple-first features, impressive performance, and premium build quality at an equally premium price. This version uses a Lightning connection rather than USB-C charging.
Apple’s latest generation of AirPods features a new design to optimize comfort for wearers of every kind. It’s powered by the H2 chip and uses a smaller case than ever.
The best Amazon Prime Day Apple Watch deals
We’re not seeing too many big Apple Watch deals just yet, but the new Black Titanium color option of the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is down to an all-time low of $735.
The Ultra 2 is Apple’s biggest smartwatch that features the highly useful Action Button, has multi-day battery life, and has a rugged design that’s perfect for athletes.
The 44mm Apple Watch SE is simply a larger model than the 40mm SE, and is otherwise identical. The Apple Watch SE is the perfect blend of features and affordability.
The best Prime Day Apple iPad deals
Various iPads are being discounted for Prime Day, including the 2024 11-inch iPad Air which uses Apple’s M2 chip. This $547 deal price is the lowest we’ve seen so far.
The 10th-generation iPad features a modern Apple tablet design, USB-C, and a centered front camera for better video calls. It runs basic tasks capably on the older A14 Bionic chip, and its recent price drop makes it an enticing budget option.
The 2021 9th-gen 10.2-inch iPad is great for those who need an iPad for simple and basic tasks, like streaming videos, browsing the web, and running apps.
The 6th-generation iPad Mini from 2021 remains a compact, portable powerhouse with its 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display and Apple’s A15 Bionic processor.
The 2024 iPad Air runs on Apple’s M2 processor introduced in certain Apple computers in 2022, making it a veritable ultra-portable powerhouse for visual creative work. It comes in the standard 11-inch option and a brand new 13-inch model, which gives you a powerful large tablet for a significantly lower price than the 13-inch iPad Pro.
The best Prime Day MacBook deals
Apple’s MacBook laptops are getting some discounts ahead of Prime Day. The 2022 13-inch MacBook Air and the 2023 14-inch MacBook Pro are both down to all-time low prices.
The 2022 MacBook Air introduced Apple’s M2 processor, which improved performance over the M1 version. It has an especially thin and lightweight design, an improved webcam, and a larger display.
The M3 MacBook Pro is yet another excellent device from Apple, but if you have an M2, we’d hold off upgrading. M1 users will notice a considerable improvement, and if you’re still using an Intel MacBook Pro, this will basically blow your socks off.
