The best Apple deals ahead of Prime Day
Amazon is good for finding decent to impressive Apple deals year-round, and with Prime Day just around the corner, we’re expecting to see an even better selection of deals than usual.
The members-only sale doesn’t officially kick off until July 8, but it will run for four days through July 11, making it the longest Prime Day sale ever. In the lead-up, we’ve spotted $150 markdowns on several models of the MacBook Air, an $100 discount on the Apple Watch, and price cuts on the iPad Air.
AirPods deals, on the other hand, are on the sparse side so far. We’ll be keeping this post updated in the run-up to July 8 and through the sale, so if better deals go live, you’ll find them here. Below, find the best Apple deals available so far:
Best MacBook deals
Why we like it
Check out our full review of the M4 MacBook Air.
Even at full price, the M4 MacBook Air is an impressively good value, especially considering its brand. For anyone who doesn’t need the heavier specs of the Pro (and the additional literal weight that comes along with that), the Air is a great machine. It can handle audio and some video editing, most tasks students will need it for, and general day-to-day tasks with ease.
At $150 off, the 13-inch Air with 256GB of storage offers an especially good value. It’s a price point that might be bested come Prime Day, but we could also see it staying in the same range — it’s that good. Plus, it helps offset the disappointment that this laptop tops off at a 60Hz refresh rate.

Best Apple Watch deals
Why we like it
Check out our full review of the Apple Watch Series 10.
The Apple Watch Series 10 frequently gets discounted at Amazon, but it doesn’t always drop to $299 — its record-low price. After sitting at $330, select colors of the Series 10 are now $100 off ahead of Prime Day. It’s an excellent deal on our favorite smartwatch fitness tracker, especially if you’re already deep in the Apple ecosystem.
Though it’s missing a blood oxygen sensor, it still works as a pedometer, heart rate monitor, sleep tracker, menstrual cycle tracker, and wrist temperature monitor, to name just a few of its functions. Its ultra-lightweight design doesn’t sacrifice a larger display that makes reading all those metrics as easy as possible.

Best AirPods deals
Why we like it
So far, the AirPods deals are a little on the sparse side. The AirPods Pro are “marked down” to $199, but we’ve only seen them jump above that price a handful of times over the past 11 months. You’ll find more of a deal in the over-ear AirPods Max. The premium option comes with lossless audio, excellent noise cancellation, and well-balanced sound.
Mashable Deals
We do have to mention these aren’t our favorite noise-cancelling headphones on the market — though they fit well into the Apple ecosystem, their battery life, lack of a real protective case, and lack of a power button are some serious knocks against them, especially when you consider their price point. However, if you’ve been waiting to pick up the AirPods Max, getting them for $69 off makes it easier to look past their shortcomings.

Best iPad deals
Why we like it
Check out Mashable’s full review of the iPad mini.
If you know you’ll mostly use your iPad to watch shows, videos, and read, you should seriously consider the iPad mini. Clocking in at 8.3 inches, this aptly named tablet is easy to hold in your hand for long periods of time, making it an especially great option for someone who wants an e-reader with some versatility (or with vibrant colors). Even though it’s not powered by Apple’s latest chipset, it doesn’t need to be for more casual usage.
For anyone who doesn’t need a tablet as powerful as a laptop, this ultraportable choice is well worth considering. And at just $399, the iPad mini is back down to its lowest price ever.
