Apple products are undoubtedly some of the best, most durable devices out there. Not only are they tightly tied through the company's unrivaled ecosystem, but they also receive software updates for many years. This turns them into future-proof investments that tend to retain their resale value. As a result, these electronic goods rarely see major discounts when compared to products from other popular manufacturers. Today's your lucky day, however, as Prime Day has arrived, and Amazon has some excellent Apple products on sale.
For those unfamiliar, Prime Day is an annual event during which Amazon offers its paid subscribers some exclusive deals. The event lasts for two days only, though. So make sure you grab some of the limited-time Apple offers below before they expire for good.
Best Mac deals
Apple MacBook Air (M1, 2020)
The 2020 MacBook Air packs the mighty M1 chip in a classic chassis. It supports the latest macOS Sonoma and is available for just $750 during Prime Day.
The MacBook Air (2020) is one of the best Macs ever released. Not only does it pack the unrivaled M1 chip, but it also has an iconic exterior design that is both slim and light. Typically, this excellent notebook costs a grand. If you act fast, however, you could claim a unit for as little as $750. That's right, this future-proof investment is currently discounted by 25%, and this is the biggest discount it has ever seen.
Apple's MacBook Air M1 is perfect for students and office workers alike. It supports a wide variety of productivity features and tools, not to mention its incredibly long battery life. You could quite literally work a full day on a single charge — no overheating, lags, or major glitches. As someone who has actively used this laptop in the past, I can attest to its superior quality when it comes to performance, design, and overall experience.
Best iPad deals
Apple iPad 9th Gen (2021)
With the powerful A13 chip, the iPad packs in quite a performance. Plus, you get a 10-hour battery life to keep that performance up for almost a day's use. Through this Amazon Prime deal, Apple's most affordable iPad becomes even cheaper. For just $249, it's quite a steal.
Apple iPad 10
If you want a more modern-looking iPad that doesn't leave a hole in your pocket, then the iPad 10 is the alternative. And thanks to this Prime Day deal, you can own one for just $379.
Apple iPad Mini (2021)
If you're looking for a higher-end iPad that supports the Apple Pencil 2 and packs a more powerful chip, then this iPad Mini 6 is the one to claim. Thanks to this Prime Day deal, you can grab a unit for just $379.
Apple's iPads are hands down some of the best tablets out there. Not only are they supported through software updates for years, but they also are compatible with a rich library of well-optimized apps. And what's better than an iPad is a discounted iPad? Thanks to Prime Day, you get to save on the iPad 9, iPad 10, and iPad Mini 6. All three iPads support iPadOS 17, with each tablet offering unique characteristics and hardware.
Arguably, the best iPad deal for this year's Prime Day is that of the 8.3-inch iPad Mini 6. While this tablet is relatively small, it does pack some of Apple's latest technology, including Apple Pencil 2 support and the iPhone 13's mighty A15 Bionic chip — typically, the iPad Mini 6 costs $499. If you claim this limited-time deal, you can own a unit for $120 less.
If you're unsatisfied with its small form factor, however, you can grab a 10.9-inch iPad 10 instead for the same $379 price tag. Though, you'd miss out on Apple Pencil 2 support, as this tablet supports the first-gen stylus. You additionally would be relying on the A14 Bionic chipset, which is a year older than the A15. Though, through the iPad 10, you get to rely on the USB Type-C port for charging and wired data transfer rather than Lightning. Otherwise, you get a similar modern design with relatively thin bezels and no physical Home button.
If you're seeking a larger display and don't care about the exterior design, then you could save even more and own a 10.2-inch iPad 9 for just $249. While it offers a dated A13 Bionic chip, thick bezels, a physical Home button, and other outdated specs, it still is a decent tablet for those who want to consume media on a larger screen or maybe take notes and read eBooks.
Best Apple Watch deals
Apple Watch SE 2
The Apple Watch SE 2 is the company's latest budget-friendly wearable, and it now costs less. Thanks to Prime Day, you can own one for as little as $199.
Apple Watch Series 8
The Apple Watch Series 8 is the latest smartwatch from the company. It offers new features like crash detection, a new temperature sensor, and a Low Power Mode for longer battery life. Wear one now for as little as $279.
Moving on to Apple Watches, the Series 8 and SE 2 are currently some of the best wearable deals on Prime Day. Both offer the same main sets of features and support watchOS 10, with the former packing even more tech. So regardless of the model you pick, you will be able to track your health and fitness metrics, send texts, make calls, download music for offline listening, and much more. Though, if you opt for the Series 8, you get some bonuses, such as always-on display (AOD) support, an ECG sensor, a Blood Oxygen monitor, a larger screen, and more.
So if you're trying to save as much money as you can, the Apple Watch SE 2 will be your perfect fitness companion. It starts at $199 during Prime Day, which is $50 less than its typical pricing. If you want the complete Apple Watch experience and your budget isn't a concern, then you can also save up to $120 when buying an Apple Watch Series 8. Ultimately, both deals are a steal, and we'd advise you to act fast before they expire.
Best AirPods deals
Apple AirPods 2nd Gen
The AirPods 2 are an excellent pick for those who want to enjoy a wireless listening experience on iPhone without overspending. Thanks to Prime Day, you can own a pair for under $100.
Apple AirPods 3
The AirPods 3 are Apple's latest entry-level earbuds, offering an improved design, Spatial Audio support, and more. On Prime Day, you can own a pair for just $140.
Moving on, we have two excellent deals on Apple's 2nd and 3rd gen entry-level AirPods. For those unfamiliar, these discounted wireless earbuds offer complete and seamless integration with Apple's operating systems, including iOS 17 and macOS Sonoma. So while they don't support Active Noise Cancelation (ANC) like the Pro and Max variants, they still support plenty of ecosystem features. These include Automatic Device Switching, instant pairing, and OTA software updates that fix bugs and introduce more features.
The biggest difference between the AirPods 2 and AirPods 3 is that the latter support Dolby Atmos (Spatial Audio) content with head tracking, are sweat- and water-resistant, offer an extra hour of playback (6 hours in total), and have a more compact design. By buying the AirPods 2 for $90, you save $39 and get to take advantage of the aforementioned ecosystem features. If you have a higher budget and want a superior listening experience, then you can own a pair of AirPods 3 for $140, saving $29 in the process.
Best Apple Pencil deals
Apple Pencil
The Apple Pencil lets you draw and write on the big canvas of your iPad. It is pressure sensitive and offers tilt support. Apple also includes the USB-C to Lightning connector, so you can pair and charge the stylus if you have an iPad 10. Grab a unit for just $79 during Prime Day.
Apple Pencil 2
The Apple Pencil 2 attaches to and charges through your compatible iPad magnetically. It detects pressure and tilt input, making it ideal for handwritten notes and illustration. Own one for just $89 on Prime Day.
Apple Pencils are arguably the best iPad styluses out there. Not only do they support are they tilt and pressure sensitive, but they also pair instantly to your iPad. Apple even allows users to replace the tips on their own, sparing the need to buy a new unit or repair the old one when the original tip degrades.
And what's better than an Apple Pencil is a discounted one? For a limited time only, you can save up to 31% on Apple Pencil if you act fast. These Prime Day deals don't last for long, and stocks are limited. However, double-check the iPad model you have and its compatibility before buying either of these two styluses. The Apple Pencil 2 works with newer, higher-end iPad models, while the first-gen variant supports the older and lower-end editions.
Best adapter deals
Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter
Whether you want to charge your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or AirPods, this official 20W adapter has you covered. And during Prime Day, you own one for just $15.
Apple 35W Dual Charger
Apple has finally started selling a dual-port USB-C charger, so you can charge two devices at the same time. Additionally, it has the benefit of supporting Apple's world travel adapter kit, which makes it more versatile than some alternatives.
Speaking of accessories, if you've been seeking charging bricks for your iDevices, then now's the perfect time to invest in a few. For Prime Day, Amazon has discounted the official 20W and 35W adapters from Apple. Both are compatible with iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, AirPods, and other devices. Though, apart from the offered wattage, there are some key differences between the two.
For starters, the 35W has a dual-port layout, allowing you to charge two devices at the same time. Furthermore, it supports Apple's world travel adapter kit, allowing you to adapt to any electrical outlet. Otherwise, both adapters support fast charging on compatible iPhones and Apple Watches and are available in White only. So, go ahead, and buy a few to save up to 24% before these deals expire!
Which Apple products should I buy on Prime Day?
As you can see, there's a decent selection of discounted Apple products. These include a variety of iPads, Apple Watches, and AirPods. That's not to mention the MacBook Air, Apple Pencils, and adapters. If you're looking for the very best in each department, then the iPad Mini 6 offers the most superior performance (albeit a smaller display), the Apple Watch Series 8 provides the best Apple wearable experience for most users, while the AirPods 3 are an excellent pick for those who want to enjoy their music in Spatial Audio. And, of course, you've got the MacBook Air, Apple Pencil 2, and 35W dual-port adapter.
Otherwise, if you're on a limited budget, then the lower-end products we've listed also offer complete integration with your Apple products. So you can supercharge your overall Apple experience without needing to spend a fortune, thanks to these limited-time Prime Day deals.
