Amazon's Famous Prime Day Apple Deals Are Already Starting
It's a myth that you have to pay full price for Apple products. Case in point: Amazon Prime Day is one of the best times of year to scoop up discounted tech, and it always includes Apple gadgets.
Want a sneak peek into the Apple deals you can expect when Prime Day begins on July 8? Ask and you shall receive. I kept tabs on all of last year's Apple Prime Day prices. AirPods Max were just $395, while MacBook Airs dipped as low as $749. And I'm anticipating the lowest AirPods Pro price of the year so far, which would be anything below $169. Meanwhile, a few Apple Watches and MacBooks are already discounted as part of the retailer's not-so-secret early deals.
Below, I've rounded up the early Apple deals, whether you're ready to add these gadgets to your cart ASAP or are just doing your research to decide what you want to snag once Prime Day officially begins on July 8. While some of these deals are bound to deepen over the coming weeks, there's always the chance that these products will sell out. If you spot a price you like on a gadget you absolutely can't live without, I'd tell ya to shop sooner rather than later. If I were you, it's not a bad idea to take advantage of the Apple Watch deals we're seeing right now—but I'd hold off on AirPods and iPads.
Remember, most of these Apple Prime Day deals are *exclusive* to Amazon Prime members. Before you shop, be sure you're signed in to your Amazon account so you'll have access to these steep savings. If you don't have an Amazon account yet, you can take advantage of a loophole and start your free 30-day trial to snag this year's early discounts at no extra cost.
If you don't have a MacBook yet, Prime Day is the perfect time to upgrade your laptop. Want to beat the rush and shop ahead of Amazon's big sale? The best early deals I've seen so far are on the latest MacBook models. Right now, score the 2025 MacBook Air while it's just $850. And if you want more power, you already know you'll need to grab a 2024 MacBook Pro while it's $150 off.
While AirPods are modestly discounted right now, prices are destined to deepen once Prime Day gets rolling. Apple's coveted wireless earbuds have good battery life, a range of fit options, and come with a handy charging case. If you can't wait, shave $50 off the latest AirPods Pro right now. And although they're not on sale yet, the sleek, stylish and oh-so-trendy AirPods Max dipped under $400 last year, so I'm anticipating another impressive discount for Prime Day 2025!
I love my iPad so much that I simply cannot recommend it enough. It's way easier to pack than my MacBook and is great for traveling, commuting, and all the things you can't get done on your phone when you don't have your laptop handy. Plus, they're so thin and lightweight that you'll hardly notice them in your tote. Ahead of Prime Day 2025, you can save up to $100 on a handful of models, including the 10th generation iPad and the iPad Pro. But if last year's deals were any indication, I'm hoping to spot markdowns of up to 40% on iPads once the sale officially kicks off.
Whether you're brand new to the Apple Watch game or you're looking to upgrade from an older model, there's both GPS and GPS+Cellular options on sale right now. Personally, I love my GPS+Cellular watch because it lets me go totally phone-free while out on runs, at the gym, and beyond. Although the SE model is technically Apple's entry-level wearable, it still packs in an impressive performance, especially when it's on sale for just $169. Not to mention, both the GPS and GPS+Cellular versions of the recently-released Series 10 are upwards of 25% off ahead of Prime Day.
Once you've upgraded your Apple tech, it's time to shop deals on the brand's range of accessories. Although you can score cases and chargers elsewhere, Apple's in-house options are among the best of the best, from iPad cases with smart wake technology to Apple Pencils that'll help you channel your inner artist when paired with your iPad. And ahead of your summer vacation, you can't go wrong with a pack of AirTags to help keep tabs of all of your valuables, on sale for $75.
