Best Prime Day Apple Deals
-
Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Gen) for $169 (MSRP $80 off): This is the lowest price for Apple’s noise-canceling wireless earbuds, which we consider a great choice for iOS users.
-
Apple AirPods Max for $395 ($154 off): That’s about as high as ever for Apple’s over-ear noise-cancellers, though this price only applies to the older Lightning-based model, not the new revision with USB-C. If you can live with the outdated charging port and somewhat bulky design, the older model still offers clean sound and excellent ANC.
-
Apple Watch SE (2nd gen, GPS) for $170 ($79 off): It’s a little long in the tooth, but the entry-level Apple Watch remains a great choice for first-time smartwatch buyers, so you can always live without the larger display and advanced health features of the more expensive series. 10.

-
Apple MacBook Air M3 (15-inch) for $1,044 ($255 off): We think the new MacBook Air is the best laptop for most people. The 15-inch model is a half-pound heavier than its 13-inch counterpart, but it has a more robust speaker system, and the extra heft might be worth it if you need more screen space. This deal only beats the previous minimum price by $5, but it’s the best price we’ve tracked.

-
Apple iPad (9th gen) for $199 ($130 off): This model is technically discontinued, and we’ve been seeing this discount for the past couple of months, but it reiterates that $199 is a great price for an iPad that’s still perfectly suited for casual media consumption.

-
