Amazon Prime Day Apple deals on AirPods, MacBooks, iPads and more that are still available today

Prime Day Apple deals usually sell out quickly, but these are still live.

Engadget

Prime Day might be over, but there are a (somewhat surprising) number of Apple deals still live right now. Apple itself doesn’t typically host sales, but we often see deals from Amazon on current-generation Apple devices — most of which will get even better this fall with the software updates Apple announced at WWDC. These still-available Apple discounts have become even more appealing, with many sitting at record-low prices. While you won’t see discounts on iPhones or HomePod speakers (Amazon would much prefer that you buy an Echo), you can still pick up most other Apple gear at steep discounts today. Here are the best Prime Day Apple deals you can still get even after the shopping event has ended.

The latest Apple Watch is down to $280, down from the $399 list price. That's a the cheapest it's ever been and $15 less than the previous low.

The Series 9 was announced during Apple’s iPhone event last fall, and there’s a good chance we’ll see a new model this year, but it likely won’t be this affordable.

The Apple Watch Series 9 is our favorite smartwatch overall, our top pick for an Apple Watch and earned a 92 in our review. It’s great at health and fitness tracking, has a bright always-on display and seamlessly integrates with your iPhone. This fall, it’ll also get fun new updates with watchOS 11, which Apple announced at WWDC.

$280 at Amazon

The Apple Watch SE is the budget model in the lineup and is now down to $170. It’s been selling for $189 for most of the past few months. We recommend it for people looking for excellent integration with iPhone notifications and solid health tracking abilities. It doesn’t have all the sensors as the Apple Watch Series 9, but as we said in our review, you get a lot of features for the money.

Here's our full review of the Apple Watch SE.

$170 at Amazon

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is on sale for $700, instead of Apple’s $799 list price. As we said in our Apple Watch buyer’s guide, this is the watch to get for adventurers or anyone who needs a bigger screen in a more rugged case. It has a 49mm display, cellular and GPS connectivity and a few features not found on other Apple watches like a dive depth meter and a siren.

$700 at Amazon

This sale has dropped the latest AirPods Pro down to $170 from their list price of $249. They’ve regularly hit $189 in the past few months and $180 is the lowest we’ve seen previously, so this is a considerable discount. 

The AirPods Pro are the current recommendation for iOS users in our best earbuds guide thanks to their excellent transparency mode, seamless iPhone and Siri integration, and solid noise cancellation. They’ll soon get an update that’ll let you nod or shake your head to respond to Siri’s questions.

The third generation AirPods are now a record-low $120, down from the full $169 price tag. We gave these an 88 in our review thanks to their improved design and audio. Note they have an older chip and lack active noise cancellation, but they are water-resistant and more affordable than the Pro model.

$120 at Amazon

Apple’s over-ear headphones, the AirPods Max are currently $394, down from their list price of $549. The lowest price we tracked prior to this was $430. These earned an 84 in our review back when they came out in 2020.

The major caveat was the price, but we appreciated the excellent and balanced sound as well as the capable active noise cancellation (ANC). And we got 20 hours of use out of the headphones on a single charge, just as Apple promises.

Check out what our audio expert, Billy Steele, said about the AirPods Max in his review. 

$394 at Amazon

The standard iPad wasn’t replaced during Apple’s iPad event in May, so the 10th generation iPad is still the most current. This sale brings it down to $299, which is a record low. With the launch of the new Pro and Air models, Apple permanently cut the list price to $349. We gave it a review score of 85 after its launch in October 2022. It’s also the budget pick in our iPad buying guide.

We called the new iPad Air “the iPad to get” in our review this May and it’s the Apple tablet we recommend for most people in our buyer’s guide. Right now, the 11-inch model with 128GB of storage is down to $559 thanks to Amazon’s sale. A $30 discount is the biggest we’ve seen previously. You can pick up the 13-inch version for just $738. 

The new iPad Air houses the M2 chip which makes it plenty fast for everyday productivity and lets it handle more than just casual entertainment. The screen is bright and crisp and the camera has thankfully been moved to the landscape edge.

Apple launched two sizes of the new iPad Pro, each with the latest M4 chip back in May. Currently, the Pro tablet is the only Apple hardware that houses the company's latest silicon. You can snag the 11-inch iPad Pro with 256GB of storage for $919 right now, which is down from its $999 list price.

The 13-inch model with the same capacity is down to $1,198 instead of the full $1,299 sticker. Prior to this, the biggest discounts we saw were $70 and $100 off the two models, respectively. We were impressed with the amazing screen and screamingly powerful performance of the iPad Pro, as you can see in our review, but called it “prohibitively expensive.” This discount may change things a little.

Here's our full review of the new iPad Pro.

The iPad mini is the smallest tablet in Apple’s lineup — it also wasn’t replaced this year — and now Amazon has dropped the price down to $380. The lowest price we tracked prior was $380 during last year’s sale, and the list price is $499. The Mini is our pick for one handed use in our iPad guide and it’s best for those who want something they can easily stuff in a bag or use as a highly capable ereader.

$380 at Amazon

The 9th generation Apple iPad was technically discontinued after the launch of the new iPads back in May. But it's still available from Amazon and is now just $249.

This was our previous pick for a budget model iPad, but we’ve since changed that recommendation to the iPad 10th generation. Still, if you want a bargain-basement price for an Apple tablet, it’s one to consider. I got one for my kid after being fed up with (his complaints about) the poor performance of his cheaper tablet. I'm a fan of the available parent-set screen time limits and speedy processing that's fast enough to keep him satisfied no matter how much Minecraft he plays.

Apple is keeping the 2022 M2-enabled MacBook Air around for the time being — and that’s good. We think it’s the best budget MacBook you can buy. Right now, a configuration with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage is down to $799. That beats Apple’s price of $999. It’s got a bright screen, capable performance and a thin, portable design.

The M3-equipped MacBook Pro models came out late last year and cemented them as the ideal notebooks for professionals. Amazon is selling the 14-inch model with the M3 chip, 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage for $1,399, after the discount. The 16-inch Pro with the M3 Pro chip, 18GB or memory and 512GB SSD is now $1,999, down from the $2,499 MSRP. We gave both the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro laptops scores of 90 in our review upon their debut, praising the amazing screens, fast chips and solid port selection.

The Apple AirTag is our pick for a Bluetooth tracker for iPhone users. It taps into Apple’s vast Find My network to track down missing items, calling on nearby iPhones to anonymously ping and triangulate the position. Right now a single tag is going for $24 instead of the $29 list price.

If you get any of Apple’s new iPads and want a compatible Apple Pencil to go with it, you’ll need either the Apple Pencil Pro or the Apple Pencil USB-C. The Apple Pencil Pro is currently $109, a new record low. It adds new features like squeeze, roll and haptic feedback and can charge by magnetically attaching to the side of the new iPad models. Just note that it’s only compatible with the new models.

$109 at Amazon

The Apple Pencil USB-C is down to $69 at the moment. This one only charges via USB-C, but can attach magnetically for storage. It works with the new iPad Air and Pro models as well as the previous generation iPad models, which you can verify here. The second generation Apple Pencil works with the most recent prior generation iPads, and lets you store and charge the pencil magnetically on the side of your tablet.

Apple’s Studio Display is on sale right now for $1,300 for the tilt-adjustable models with the standard (non-nano-textured) glass. That matches the all-time low we saw earlier this year

We gave the Apple Studio Monitor a score of 80 in our review in 2022 thanks to the quality of the build, good audio and the bright and accurate screen. It only has a 60Hz refresh rate (which is pretty low these days) and the webcam was lackluster. But if you're an Apple devotee, you'll find a lot to appreciate in its 5K LCD monitor with a 27-inch, 2,880p display that supports 1 billion colors. It can also deliver a 96W charge to your MacBook for a cleaner looking desktop.

Apple bought Beats Electronics 10 years ago, so now all Beats headphones and earbuds are technically Apple products. The Beats Fit Pro earbuds are on sale for $150 right now. That’s $5 more than the lowest price we’ve seen. 

These are our favorite earbuds for running. We like the Air-Pod-like conveniences — like hands-free Siri — but these are far better suited to runs and sweaty workouts thanks to the wings that (comfortably) makes them stay put.
