If you don’t want to wait until Black Friday or Cyber Monday to save big on some of Apple’s most popular products, Amazon’s October Prime Day event presents an earlier opportunity — at least for a few more hours. Right now, Apple’s second-gen AirPods Pro are down to their all-time low, while the latest iPad and second-gen Apple Watch SE are still receiving steep discounts in the final hours of Amazon’s two-day sale.

That’s just a glimpse of the best Apple deals we’re still seeing, though. Below, we’ve compiled the best across a range of categories — including tablets, headphones, styluses, and more — so you can sift through Apple’s various wears more easily. We’ve also put together a larger guide to the best Prime Day deals overall, just in case you also want to take a look at what’s on sale outside of the Apple ecosystem.

The best wireless earbuds and headphone deals

Both the original and updated AirPods Max are down to their best price to date at Amazon. You can buy the original Max with a Lightning port for $394.99 ($154 off) or the newer model for $498.99 ($50 off). The latest version features support for USB-C charging and a few new colors, though, otherwise, they’re identical. Both tout excellent noise cancellation and sound, along with a natural-sounding transparency mode and a luxe, comfortable design. Read our original AirPods Max review.
The AirPods 4 without ANC are on sale for $119 ($10 off) at Amazon, which remains the lowest price we’ve seen. The wireless earbuds offer noticeably better sound and more bass than prior models, along with clearer voice call quality. Apple does sell a pair with Active Noise Cancellation, but as that version is currently more expensive than the second-gen AirPods Pro, so we’d recommend just picking up the Pro instead.

The best MacBook deals

You can currently buy the 13-inch MacBook Air with an M3 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage for ~~$894 ($205 off) at~~ ~~Amazon~~ ~~and~~ $849 at Best Buy. The step-up model with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD is also $250 off right now, selling for $1,049 at Amazon and $1,249 at Best Buy. The M3 Air retains the excellent battery life found on the prior model but comes with a faster chip and improved Wi-Fi performance. It can now also power two external monitors when the lid is closed.

The best iPad deals

The last-gen iPad is also matching its all-time low of $199 ($130 off) at Amazon in the 64GB / Wi-Fi configuration. The ninth-gen model lacks USB-C and is slightly smaller than Apple’s latest iPad at 10.2 inches, but it’s still snappy enough for streaming, browsing the web, and all the other typical tasks you’d use a tablet for. Plus, unlike other iPads in Apple’s current lineup, it features a 3.5mm audio jack for plugging in a pair of wired headphones.

The best Apple Pencil and stylus deals

Amazon is also discounting the second-gen Apple Pencil, dropping it to $79.99 ($49 off) for a limited time. Unlike the USB-C Apple Pencil, Apple’s last-gen stylus offers pressure sensitivity and wireless charging but lacks support for the 10th-gen iPad. It also doesn’t work with the newer M2 iPad Air and M4 OLED iPad Pro models like the Apple Pencil Pro, but it is compatible with older hardware — including the latest iPad Air and iPad Mini.
The first-gen Apple Pencil is also on sale for $79.99 ($19 off). It doesn’t support magnetic charging, but it does offer pressure and tilt sensitivity. It’s also compatible with a wider range of last-gen tablets than the second-gen model, including the ninth-gen iPad and older models.
~~The~~ ~~Logitech Crayon~~ ~~is on sale at~~ ~~Amazon~~ for $49.99 ($20 off), matching its best price to date. The comfortable USB-C stylus lacks pressure sensitivity and some of the more premium features found on Apple’s proprietary models, but it’s still great for note-taking and pairs instantly with any iPad that launched after 2018.

The best Apple Watch deals

The GPS-enabled Apple Watch Series 9 is on sale at Amazon starting at $299 ($100 off), which is one of its better prices to date. Although it’s a last-gen model with a smaller display than the Series 10, it’s still a great smartwatch with an S9 processor and Apple’s second-gen ultrawide band chip, which allow for offline Siri use, Apple’s newer double tap feature, and Precision Finding when used with an iPhone 15 or newer. It doesn’t offer a wide-angle OLED display like the Series 10, however, nor does it boast Apple’s latest chipset. Read our review.

Other miscellaneous deals

Amazon is selling Apple’s official iPhone 16 Clear Case with MagSafe starting at $37.99 ($11 off), which is its best price yet. The MagSafe-compatible polycarbonate case is available in multiple colors and is designed to work seamlessly with the new Camera Control button on the iPhone 16. Apple also added a “glossy scratch-resistant coating,” potentially in response to the critique regarding how easily last year’s FineWoven cases scratched.
Anker’s Qi2-certified MagGo Wireless Charging Station (Foldable 3-in-1) is down to a new all-time low of $82.49 (about $28 off) at Amazon. The foldable charger can quickly supply a compatible iPhone with up to 15W of power while simultaneously charging a pair of AirPods and an Apple Watch. It’s also pretty lightweight, rendering it a good option for frequent travelers.
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly MagSafe charger, Belkin’s 15W MagSafe Charger Pad is down to $23.99 ($6 off) at Amazon. It’s not a Qi2 charger, but the handy puck can still deliver up to 15W of power to compatible iPhones with its 6.6-foot built-in cable. Plus, as an added bonus, it sports a built-in kickstand that allows you to prop up your phone or use Standby mode while charging.
