Lots of Apple products are discounted for Amazon Prime Day, including the latest generation iPads, AirPods, MacBooks and Apple Watches. If you\u2019ve had your eye on a brand new MacBook Air<\/a> or want to get Apple\u2019s budget SE smartwatch<\/a> for even less, the sale is a good time to act. You won\u2019t find new, unlocked iPhones or Apple\u2019s HomePod speakers as Amazon doesn’t tend to carry those, but most of Apple’s current-model tech is seeing some of the best discounts so far this year. Here are the best Prime Day deals on Apple products we could find.<\/p>\n

AirPods Pro (2nd gen)<\/h2>\n

\n

Apple\u2019s second generation AirPods Pro<\/a> are on sale for $199 during Prime Day. That\u2019s a $50 and the best price we’ve seen. They are our top pick for iPhone users in our earbuds guide<\/a> and represent a big improvement over the first iteration, with better noise canceling and overall improved sound. They have an excellent transparency mode that lets you listen to music while still keeping aware of the sounds around you and they pair nicely with iPhones, iPads and Macs and make good use of Siri\u2019s assistance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

AirPods (3rd gen)<\/h2>\n

\n

Apple’s updated AirPods<\/a> have been discounted to $140 for Prime Day. Released in 2021, these wireless earbuds<\/a> improve upon their predecessors in nearly every way. They have better sound quality, a more comfortable design and a longer battery life. They don’t have ANC like the AirPods Pro do, but it’s hard to beat the third-gen AirPods at this price for iPhone users.<\/p>\n

AirPods (2nd gen)<\/h2>\n

\n

The second-generation AirPods<\/a> are down to $89 for Prime Day. These wireless earbuds are a bit old at this point, but if you have less than $100 to send and want a pair that work seamlessly with iPhones and other Apple devices, these are a good option. They fit similarly to Apple’s EarPods and they have improved wireless range.<\/p>\n

iPad Air<\/h2>\n

\n

The latest iteration of Apple\u2019s iPad Air<\/a> is $500 after a $100 discount. We think it\u2019s the best iPad for most people<\/a>. It came out in 2022 and features Apple\u2019s own M1 system-on-a-chip processor and a bright and sharp 10.9-inch display. We gave it a review score of 90<\/a>, noting that the updated chip and 5G capabilities (on the cellular model<\/a>) make it \u201calmost future-proof.\u201d<\/p>\n

iPad (9th gen)<\/h2>\n

\n

Apple’s 9th-generation iPad<\/a> is down to $250, which it’s best price yet as it normally sells for $329. It\u2019s the budget pick in our guide to the best iPads<\/a>. Though it doesn\u2019t have the thin bezels and as much accessory support as our favorite, the iPad Air, it’s the most affordable way to snag an iPad. It\u2019s a great couch companion that performs well for casual browsing, binge streaming and light gaming.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The latest (10th) generation of Apple\u2019s standard iPad<\/a> in the 64GB size is down to $380 after a $70 discount. It\u2019s got a slightly larger screen and a newer chip (though not Apple\u2019s own M-series silicon). The latest gen also ditches the home button, which is nice, but does away with the headphone jack, which isn\u2019t as great.<\/p>\n

iPad mini<\/h2>\n

\n

A smaller tablet like the iPad mini<\/a> can do a lot of what your phone can while giving you more screen real estate. For Prime Day, Apple\u2019s diminutive slate is $380 instead of its usual $499. We gave the mini an 89 in our review<\/a> because of its fresh design and solid performance. It also pairs nicely with the second generation Apple Pencil<\/a>, turning the mini into a portable digital notebook.<\/p>\n

Apple Pencil (2nd gen)<\/h2>\n

\n

The latest Apple Pencil<\/a> is usually $129 but Prime Day is making it just $89. The second generation of the stylus works with<\/a> the most recent models of the iPad mini, the iPad Air and both sizes of the iPad Pro. The standard iPad, even the latest iteration, still works with the first generation Apple Pencil<\/a>, which is $79 right now. The Apple pencil lets you draw, sketch, take handwritten notes and even write in search boxes. The second gen pencil magnetically attaches to and charges from all compatible iPads.<\/p>\n

Magic Keyboard<\/h2>\n

\n

The Magic Keyboard for the iPad Air or the 11-inch iPad Pro is now just $250 as opposed to the $300 list price. The keyboard wraps around and magnetically attaches to your iPad, acting as a case when closed, then when it\u2019s time to type, your tablet \u201cfloats\u201dabove the keyboard. It\u2019s one of our favorite iPad accessories<\/a> and in our review of the iPad Pro<\/a>, we noted the Magic Keyboard \u201cprovides the best typing experience\u201d for Apple\u2019s tablets. The keyboard for the 12.9 inch iPad Pro<\/a> is also on sale and going for $299 for Prime Day.<\/p>\n

AirTags<\/h2>\n

\n

Apple\u2019s AirTags<\/a> are discounted $90 for the four-pack<\/a>. Compared to the usual $28.50 per-tag price, that\u2019s a decent savings. We named the AirTags the best bet for iPhone users<\/a> because they tap into Apple\u2019s vast Find My network, pinging off nearby Apple phones to anonymously locate the tracker if it’s ever lost out in the city.<\/p>\n

Apple Watch Series 8<\/h2>\n

\n

Apple\u2019s flagship smartwatch is the Apple Watch Series 8<\/a> and Prime Day is giving it a $120 discount. Usually $399, the 41mm GPS model is now $280. The Series 8 is our favorite smartwatch<\/a> thanks to its detailed health and fitness tracking along with a seamless integration with your iPhone\u2019s apps and notifications. New features like temperature sensors, ECG and blood oxygen readings and improved sleep metrics give you more data than ever, while the crash detection can call for help if you\u2019re ever in an accident. The upcoming WatchOS 10<\/a> will add widgets and expanded features including ways to track your mood in the Mindfulness app.<\/p>\n

Apple Watch SE<\/h2>\n

\n

The Apple Watch SE<\/a> is Apple\u2019s budget smart watch that\u2019s usually listed at $250. Prime Day discounts are making it just $200 for the 40 mm size. The 44mm version<\/a> is usually $270 but down to $230 for the sale. We called the SE \u201cthe best smartwatch $250 can buy\u201d in our Engadget review<\/a>. It makes surprisingly few sacrifices over the Series 8 and shares the same looks, processor and 50-meter water resistance. It doesn\u2019t have an always-on display and lacks the sensors for blood oxygen, temperature and EKG readings. If you don\u2019t need all that, you can still get scads of fitness and health data plus seamless integration with your iPhone.<\/p>\n

MacBook Pro (M2, 14-inch)<\/h2>\n

\n

The MacBook Pro offers music makers, video producers and other heavy users a lot of processing power with the M2 Pro and M2 Max chips. Amazon is selling the base model 14-inch MacBook Pro<\/a> with the M2 Pro chip, 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage for $1,799, which is $200 off the usual $1,999. The base model 16-inch MacBook Pro<\/a> with the same specs is down to $2,299 instead of $2,499. When the new MacBook Pros came out in January of this year, we gave the 14-inch model a 92 review score<\/a>, praising the Liquid Retina XDR display, sturdy design and plethora of ports including three Thunderbolt 4 USB-C, HDMI, a headphone jack and a full-sized SD card slot.<\/p>\n

The 2022 13-inch MacBook Pro<\/a> is also on sale for $1,099 after a $200 discount, but we\u2019re not as impressed<\/a> with this machine. If you\u2019re happy with a 13-inch screen, you\u2019re probably better off going with the 13-inch MacBook Air<\/a>.<\/p>\n

AirPods Max<\/h2>\n

\n

Apple\u2019s over-ear headphones, the AirPods Max<\/a> are on sale for $450, which is $100 off the usual $549. They earned an 84 in our review<\/a> when they came out at the end of 2020. We liked the balanced sound, solid active noise cancellation and long 20-hour battery life with a unique low-power mode that leaves the headphones in standby so they\u2019re ready to play as soon as you put them on.<\/p>\n

Apple Studio Display<\/h2>\n

\n

The usual $1,599 for the Apple Studio Display<\/a> is pretty steep. Prime Day has brought the price down to $1,499, which makes it a little more palatable, but we still think<\/a> the display is ideal only for true Apple devotees. The A13 Bionic chip inside makes it a little smarter than most displays, but the 60Hz refresh rate is disappointing. Still, it\u2019s got a nice build with good speakers and a bright and accurate screen.<\/p>\n
