Apple’s Amazon Prime Day deals include big discounts on AirPods, iPads, and other devices we tested in 2024

Last Apple Watch The iPhone 11 Pro Max is down to $280 on Prime Day, down from $399. 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’s unlikely to be this affordable.

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

the Apple Watch SE This is one of the more budget models in the lineup, and it’s now down to $170. It was selling for $189 for most of the past few months. We recommend it for people looking for excellent iPhone notification integration and robust health tracking capabilities. It doesn’t have all the sensors found in the Apple Watch Series 9, but as we mentioned in our review, you get a lot of features for the money.

the Apple Watch Ultra 2 The watch is on sale for $699.99 on Prime Day, instead of Apple’s listed price of $799. As we mentioned in our Apple Watch buying guide , this is the watch to get for adventurers or anyone who needs a bigger screen in a more durable body. It has a 49mm display, cellular and GPS, and some features not found on other Apple Watches like a dive depth gauge and a siren.

Prime Day Released Latest Version AirPods Pro They’re down to $170 from their list price of $249. They’ve been regularly hitting $189 over the past few months, and $180 is the lowest we’ve seen previously. The AirPods Pro are the current top recommendation for iOS users in our best earbuds guide thanks to their excellent Transparency mode, seamless iPhone and Siri integration, and powerful noise cancellation. They’ll soon get an update that lets you nod or shake your head to answer Siri questions.

the AirPods 3rd Generation They’re now down to a record low of $120, down from their full price of $169. We gave them an 88 in our review thanks to their improved design and sound. Note that they have an older chip and lack active noise cancellation, but they’re waterproof and more expensive than the Pro model.

Apple Over-Ear Headphones, AirPods Max These products are currently priced at $394, down from their listed price of $549. The lowest price we tracked before that was $430. These products received an 84 score in our review when they were released in 2020.

The main caveat was the price, but we enjoyed the excellent, balanced sound as well as the active noise cancellation (ANC) feature. We got 20 hours of use from the headphones on a single charge, just as Apple promised.

We called the new iPad Air our “must-have iPad” in our review this month, and it’s the Apple tablet we recommend to most people in our buyer’s guide. Right now, 11 inch model with 128GB The storage capacity has dropped to $559 thanks to Amazon’s sale. The $30 discount is the biggest we’ve ever seen. You can get 13 inch version For only $738.

The new iPad Air has an M2 chip that makes it fast enough for everyday productivity and lets it handle more than just casual entertainment. The screen is bright and clear, and thankfully the camera has been moved to a horizontal edge.

Apple launched two new iPad Pro sizes, each with the company’s latest M4 chip, in May. Currently, the Pro tablet is the only Apple device to feature the company’s latest silicon. On Prime Day, you can get iPad Pro 11 inch 256GB The storage capacity is $919, down from its original price of $999. Some people may see a $20 coupon they can clip which will lower the price even further.

the 13 inch model With the same capacity, the price drops to $1,198 instead of the full $1,299 sticker. Before that, the biggest discounts we’d seen were $70 and $100 off the models, respectively. We were impressed by the iPad Pro’s stunning display and incredibly powerful performance, as you can see in our review, but we called it “incredibly expensive.” This discount might change things up a bit.

The standard iPad wasn’t replaced during Apple’s iPad event in May, so iPad 10th generation This is still the latest release. It was priced at $299 on Prime Day, the lowest on record. With the launch of the new Pro and Air models, Apple has permanently lowered the list price to $349. We gave it a review score of 85 after its October 2022 launch. It’s also the budget pick in our iPad buying guide.

the iPad mini The iPad Mini is the smallest tablet in Apple’s lineup — and it hasn’t been replaced this year either — and now Amazon has slashed its price to $380 for Prime Day. The lowest price we’ve tracked was $380 during last year’s sale, and the list price is $499. The iPad Mini is our pick for one-handed use in our iPad guide and is best for those who want something they can easily slip into a bag or use as a capable e-reader.

Apple keeps 2022 M2 Compatible MacBook Air This one is still available right now — and that’s a good thing. We think it’s the best budget MacBook you can buy. Right now, on Prime Day, the 8GB RAM/256GB model is $799. That beats Apple’s $999 price. It has a bright display, powerful performance, and a thin, portable design.

The latest MacBook Air models with the M3 chip have dropped to $850 13 inch model and $1049 15 inch sizeBefore that, the lowest prices we tracked were $899 and $1,129, respectively. Apple launched the new MacBook Air models in March, and as we noted in our review , they’re not much different from the previous generation — though that’s not a bad thing. The 13-inch version remains our top recommendation for most people in our buying guide.

The MacBook Pro models with the M3 processor were released late last year and have established themselves as the ideal laptops for professionals. On Prime Day, Amazon is selling 14-inch model with M3 chip, 8GB RAM, 512GB storage For $1,399 after discount. 16 inch Pro with M3 Pro chip, 18GB memory, 512GB SSD The 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros are down to $1,999, down from $2,499. We gave both the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros 90 marks in our review when they first came out, praising their stunning displays, fast chips, and robust array of ports.

Pack of four Apple AirTags These devices retail for $99 full price, though they usually retail for $80. Right now, on Prime Day, they’re down to $75. We think these are the best Bluetooth trackers you can buy if you’re an iPhone user. They rely on Apple’s extensive Find My network, which connects to every nearby iPhone to anonymously locate an AirTag. We found their location features to be eerily accurate.

If you get any of Apple’s new iPads and want a compatible Apple Pencil to use with them, you’ll need an Apple Pencil Pro or Apple Pencil USB-C.
