Amazon Prime Day is here, offering discounts on Apple products during the four-day sale, exclusive to Prime members. You can also find deals on smartwatch, vacuums, sneakers and more.
As a writer for NBC Select, I frequently cover shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. I’m also the team’s tech reporter — I test and review Apple products regularly. I spent weeks combing through thousands of discounts to find the best Prime Day Apple deals. Each one I recommend below is highly rated and at or matching its lowest price in at least three months. I’ll frequently update this list throughout Prime Day.

Best Prime Day Apple deals
Best Prime Day AirPods deals
Apple AirPods Pro 2 are some of the best wireless earbuds you can buy if you own an iPhone, and their at their lowest price ever right now. They are compact, comfortable and have stellar noise cancelling and transparency modes — I use them regularly for work, travel and commuting.
The AirPods 4 are at their lowest price ever, and if you hate the feeling of rubber eartips in your ears, these are for you. They have a semi-open fit that lets you hear your environment better than other earbuds. This version does not have noise cancelling, but it is currently a better deal than the noise cancelling version.
Best Prime Day Apple Watch deals
The Apple Watch Series 10 remains stubbornly on my wrist despite the fact that I test new smartwatches regularly — it’s that good. It’s the complete package — it’s got a large, bright, responsive always-on screen, accurate health, sleep and exercise tracking, and seamlessly syncs with Apple apps. You can learn more in my Apple Watch Series 10 review.
The Apple Watch SE does almost everything the Apple Watch Series 10 can do at a fraction of the price. It tracks health, sleep and exercise stats, shows notifications, and can sync with all sorts of Apple apps. The biggest difference is the screen, which isn’t as big, bright or responsive, and charging is a bit slower.
Apple’s most premium smartwatch is also its largest, with the brightest screen and longest battery life. It’s built to be more durable, with a titanium body and water resistance up to 100 meters. It gets up to 36 hours of battery life, double that of the Series 10 and SE (2nd Gen).
Best Prime Day iPad deals
This is Apple’s most affordable iPad, and it’s great for relaxation and entertainment at home or on the go. It has a large, high resolution screen that’s great for watching TV and movies or following a recipe. Plus it has speakers on each side for a stereo-like audio experience.
The iPad Mini is Apple’s smallest tablet: 8.3-inches across, compared to the iPad (A16)’s 11-inch screen. Compared to the iPad (A16), it has a more color rich, anti-glare screen that’s better suited to the outdoors. Plus it’s compatible with the Apple Pencil Pro, making it a better fit for artists and note takers.
Best Prime Day MacBook deals
This latest MacBook Air model is light, slim and powerful. It weighs three-ish pounds, which isn’t much added weight in a bag or backpack compared to other laptops. This version has the latest M4 chip inside, which has improved all-around performance, and a new webcam that can automatically keep you centered during video calls.
Best Prime Day Beats deals
Apple acquired Beats in 2014, and has sold the brand’s products in its stores since.
These on-ear headphones are at their lowest price ever. They have stellar battery life: up to 50 hours on a single charge, plus fast charging can give you up to 5 hours of battery life in 10 minutes. They connect wirelessly via Bluetooth but can also be plugged in over USB-C for more detailed, lossless audio in supporting apps. They do not have automated noise cancelling or transparency modes, however.
These wireless earbuds are small, lightweight and full of features, similar to AirPods Pro. They have active noise cancelling and transparency modes, on-ear controls, IPX4 waterproofing and a small charging case that boosts battery life to 24 hours total.
