The Best Prime Day Deals on AirPods, iPads, MacBooks, and More

Amazon is back with its annual summertime Prime Day event, lasting for just two days from July 16-17. As it does every year, Prime Day offers shoppers a huge selection of deals across Amazon's storefront, including savings on tech, clothing, video games, groceries, and much, much more.

For our coverage, we're focusing entirely on discounts for Apple and Apple-related products that can be purchased right now on Amazon. As of today, this includes deals on AirPods, Apple Watch, iPad, MacBook Air, and more. We're also sharing deals being matched at retailers like Best Buy in some cases.

As is typical for Prime Day deals, these markdowns are very time sensitive, so sales listed below may disappear fast, and new ones may appear even faster. With this in mind, we'll keep this article updated over the next few days, and keep an eye on the MacRumors front page as we'll be posting particularly great deals in separate articles next week.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, Amazon Prime Day requires you to have an Amazon Prime membership to take advantage of the discounts. Amazon Prime costs $14.99 per month or $139.00 per year, and it comes with a 30-day free trial for new subscribers.

AirPods

Starting with AirPods, you'll find a wide selection of solid deals across the AirPods lineup on Amazon during Prime Day. Prices start at $119.00 for the AirPods 3 ($50 off), then increase to $168.99 for the AirPods Pro 2 ($80 off).

Both of these are great lowest-ever discounts on each model of the AirPods, beating previous record lows by up to $20. We're also tracking the AirPods Max at a discount during Prime Day, available for $394.99, down from $549.00, another all-time low price.



Apple Watch

Series 9

You can get up to $120 off most Apple Watch Series 9 models right now on Amazon, starting at $279.00 for the 41mm GPS watches. We've rounded up all of the deals below, focusing on the aluminum devices, but you can also find $100 discounts on a few stainless steel models as well.





SE

Apple's 40mm GPS Apple Watch SE is available for $169.99 today on Amazon, down from $249.00. This is a new all-time low price on the wearable. This deal is available in all three aluminum color options, and only Amazon has the discount.


You can also get the 44mm GPS Apple Watch SE on sale right now, available for $199.99 on Amazon, down from $279.00. This is another new record low price on the Apple Watch SE for Prime Day.

M2 iPad Pro

Over at Best Buy, today you can find some of the biggest discounts on the M2 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro that we've seen in months, including both Wi-Fi and cellular tablets. A My Best Buy Plus/Total membership is not required to see these discounts.

With such steep savings, these previous generation iPad Pros are worth looking into purchasing for anyone who wants to prioritize saving money over owning the newest M4 iPad Pro. There are some major differences between the two generations, like the M4's support for Apple Pencil Pro and a new nano-texture display option, so be sure to read about which one works best for you in our Buyer's Guide.

The cheapest model is the 128GB Wi-Fi 11-inch iPad Air for $559.00, down from $599.00. You'll also find deals on the 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB models below, all of which are in stock on Amazon with delivery dates as soon as the middle of next week for Prime members.





13-Inch

The 13-inch M2 iPad Air models start at $729.00 for the 128GB Wi-Fi tablet, down from $799.00. Similar to the 11-inch devices, all Wi-Fi models are on sale this week, and for the larger display iPad Airs these discounts reach up to $90 off original prices.




The iPad Air is Apple's middle-tier iPad model, equipped with an LCD Liquid Retina display, True Tone support, four unique color options, Touch ID, relocated front-facing camera, and two new size options with the 11-inch and 13-inch sizes.

10th Gen iPad

Amazon is taking $50 off the Wi-Fi models of the 2022 iPad, starting at $299.00 for 64GB Wi-Fi. You'll also find both cellular devices on sale this weekend.


M3 MacBook Pro

The cheapest M3 MacBook Pro model you'll find right now is on the 14-inch M3 Pro 512GB model, priced at $1,399.00. That's a $200 discount and the best price we've ever tracked, but you can also find a few other solid markdowns on more 14-inch MacBook Pros and 16-inch MacBook Pros at Amazon and Best Buy.

Note that if you have a My Best Buy Plus or Total subscription, you'll definitely want to prioritize Best Buy over Amazon for MacBook Pro deals. In many cases, Best Buy is offering as much as $200 off for members on top of the already steep discounts you'll find below.

M3 MacBook Air

Prices on the M3 MacBook Air start at $898.99 for the 8GB RAM/256GB SSD 13-inch MacBook Air, which is down from $1,099.00. For the bigger model, prices start at $1,099.00 for the 8GB RAM/256GB SSD 15-inch MacBook Air, down from $1,299.00.

Shoppers should note that Best Buy is offering an extra $50 in savings on these computers, but you'll need to have a My Best Buy Plus or Total membership in order to see the discounts. Otherwise, if you don't have a membership, you can find matching prices on every M3 MacBook Air at Best Buy.

M2 MacBook Air

Best Buy and Amazon today have Apple's 256GB 13-inch M2 MacBook Air for $799.00, down from $999.00. You'll find all four colors on sale at this price, including Midnight, Silver, Space Gray, and Starlight.

Compared to previous sales, this is a match of the all-time low price on the 13-inch M2 MacBook Air. Right now, both Best Buy and Amazon have this steep discount, and we aren't tracking any notable deals on the 512GB model.

Apple Pencil

Just for grins, I verified with my own two eyes that many of the "deals" Amazon is offering on Prime Day aren't really deals at all. They will claim a 20-30% or more in savings for a given product, after the temporary price hike of course, which in reality will equate to buying it for the exact same price as before or maybe you will save $1 off. Killer deals for sure!!! ?

Imagine realizing you waited 5 years for that "just around the corner" refresh and having it turn out to be a USB-C port and maybe a battery time bump. Rumours have always pointed to a minor update, whenever that happens. I say if you want them and have an opportunity at a great price, just buy them! I can't imagine a change that will make me regret having bought mine.
I agree to an extent. But the Max are going on 4 years, and rumors suggest an upgrade -- however minimal -- is within the next 5 months. And I've promised myself no more lightning or micro-USB cables will enter this house. I wasn't ready to fork over the money for these until this year, so I'm going to wait it out.

I can track the prices of items I don’t know on CCC.
I use this site once in a while, but it has been increasingly unreliable for me lately. I often run into things where CCC has the wrong price for an item or has an incomplete/misleading price history.

One recent/current example... I've been watching this printer ('https://a.co/d/9XxEmPi') for a couple months now, and it usually bounces between $120 and $150. Whenever it drops below $150, CCC thinks it's out of stock and doesn't keep track of the price despite it actually still being available (sold & shipped by Amazon). It dropped to $90 a few days ago and CCC ('https://3cmls.co/US/B08XYRDKDV') still thinks it's out of stock. It's being sold and shipped by Amazon for $90, not from some 3rd party.

Needless to say, I never got any of the price drop alerts through CCC. I only caught it because I've started putting things in my "saved for later" list and monitoring the prices and price change notifications there instead of relying on CCC.

Or, you realize after 5 years, you don't need it at all.
