Prime Day is almost over, but these are still the best Apple deals I’ve seen
Amazon’s Prime Day is now in its final hours, but whether you’re looking for a new pair of wireless earbuds or a smartwatch, there’s a good chance you’ll still find a discount. The Apple Watch Series 11 remains at its best price to date, while the AirPods Pro 3 are still on sale for $179. With Apple recently raising prices on several Macs and iPads, now may be one of the last chances to pick up the company’s hardware before those increases fully take effect. Some retailers are still offering discounts based on the previous list prices, making today’s deals even better. With that in mind, we’ve included several new tablet and laptop deals below.
Below are the best Apple deals currently available. Some are exclusive to Prime Day, while others are simply great discounts we think are worth highlighting. We’ll continue updating this guide, highlighting more deals as they become available.
Earbud and headphone deals
AirPods Pro 3
The latest AirPods Pro offer improved noise cancellation and richer bass, along with built-in heart sensors that work with Apple’s Fitness app to monitor calories burned across more than 50 workouts. Read our review.
Where to Buy: $249 $179 at Amazon $249 $179 at Walmart $249 $179.99 at Best Buy
The AirPods 4 are on sale at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy for around $99 ($30 off). Apple’s entry-level earbuds offer richer bass than previous generations along with a more robust IP54 rating for water and dust resistance. They match the latest AirPods Pro in voice call quality and work well with other Apple devices too, though they lack more advanced features like active noise cancellation. It might be a pro or con to some that this model simply rests in your ear. They don’t create a tight seal like the AirPods Pro.
The AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation and wireless charging are also on sale at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy for $148.99 ($30 off). It’s a solid deal, but given the AirPods Pro 3 are currently available for about $30 or so more, we’d recommend buying those instead. They drown out noise better and offer additional features like a heart rate sensor that justify the small price difference. Read our review.
Beats Studio Pro
The latest Beats Studio Pro feature improved noise cancellation, sound quality, and comfort. They also support lossless audio over USB-C and offer native support for a range of iOS and Android features like other Beats headphones. Read our review.
Where to Buy: $349.99 $132.05 at Walmart $349.99 $149.99 at Best Buy
The Beats Powerbeats Fit are on sale for $159.95 ($40 off) at Amazon and Best Buy, which is $20 shy of their all-time low and their second-best price to date. Like all Beats earbuds and headphones, the noise-canceling Fit are platform-agnostic and natively support a number of iOS and Android features like one-step pairing and Find My support. The Beats Fit Pro successor also features a redesigned wingtip with built-in silicone fins and ear tips that are designed to provide a more secure fit during workouts than traditional earbuds.
The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 are on sale for $179.95 ($90 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart, which is also $20 shy of their all-time low price. Their ear-hook design helps keep them securely in place, while Apple’s H2 chip grants access to AirPods Pro features like Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, and better noise cancellation than you’ll get with the Powerbeats Fit. Plus, unlike the Fit, they support wireless charging. Read our review.
AirPods Max 2
Apple’s over-ears retain the premium design of the original while delivering improved sound quality and better noise cancellation. They also sport Apple’s H2 chip, which enables newer features like live translation. Read our review.
Where to Buy: $549 $479 at Best Buy
The Beats Solo 4 have dropped to $99.95 ($100 off) at Amazon and Walmart, which is $10 more than their all-time low we saw last year. The wireless headphones offer a noticeable step up in performance from the Beats Solo 3, delivering more detailed sound and support for lossless audio over the included USB-C or 3.5mm cable. They also provide up to 50 hours of battery life, plus comfortable memory foam ear cushions, though they don’t include active noise cancellation. Read our review.
You can buy the Beats Studio Buds Plus on sale for $89.95 ($80 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, which is one of their better prices to date. The wireless earbuds offer good active noise cancellation along with four swappable ear tips for a comfortable, secure fit (though perhaps not as secure as the Powerbeats Pro 2). They also sport a slick translucent colorway and can last up to 27 hours on a single charge. Read our review.
Apple Watch deals

You can buy the Apple Watch Ultra 3 with an Ocean Band, Trail Loop strap, and Alpine Loop strap for $649 ($150 off) at Amazon, which is a new low price. The Ultra 3 is Apple’s most rugged and feature-packed smartwatch, making it a great choice for athletes and outdoorsy folks. It delivers up to 42 hours of battery life — six hours more than its predecessor — and features a larger wide-angle OLED display with a refresh rate that goes down to just 1Hz for battery savings, plus slimmer bezels.

iPad deals
iPad (2025)
Apple’s entry-level iPad is an excellent tablet for casual use, even if it is getting a little long in the tooth. Its high-res screen is great for watching video, and its A16 processor is still fast enough to handle light games and productivity apps. Read our review.

The Air is a sizable step up from Apple’s entry-level iPad, combining a faster M4 chip with 12GB of RAM, Apple Intelligence features, and support for the Apple Pencil Pro. It also includes newer connectivity standards like Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, making it more future-proof. Read our review.

Apple Pencil (USB-C)
The entry-level stylus attaches magnetically on supported iPads, though it doesn’t support magnetic charging.

MacBook deals
MacBook Neo
Apple’s most affordable laptop, with a 13-inch display, A18 Pro chip, 8GB of RAM, and optional Touch ID fingerprint sensor. Read our review.
Where to Buy: $699 $589.99 at Costco (256GB, citrus)
The 13-inch MacBook Air is available with an M5 chip, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD for $949.99 at Amazon, much cheaper than the the $1,299 Apple is now charging. The 15-inch model, meanwhile, is also on sale at Amazon with 1TB of storage for $1,499.99 ($400 off). As good as the Neo is, the Air is still Apple’s best all-around laptop. Its balance of performance, battery life, and portability is still unmatched. And for $949 or $1,149 you’re getting a laptop that should last you the better part of a decade for what’s sadly now such a good deal. Read our review.
The base 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 chip is the sweet spot of Apple’s lineup if you do frequent content creation but can’t fathom paying much higher M5 Pro / M5 Max prices. It’s on sale for $1,549.99 ($450 off Apple’s new MSRP) at Amazon and Costco. The base model revised for 2026 comes with 16GB of RAM, 1TB of faster storage, and has lots of ports. It’s the ideal step up from a MacBook Air, but paying Apple’s new price of $1,999 makes it much less attainable than it was.
Apple MacBook Pro (M5 Pro / Max, 2026)
The M5 Pro and M5 Max versions of the latest MacBook Pro deliver exceptional power and speed, making them ideal for creative work while offering best-in-class battery life. Read our review.

The M4 iMac from 2024 is going from a starting price of $1,299 to $1,499. You can still get a base model with 8-core M4 chip, 16GB of memory, and 256GB SSD in various colors for $1,149 ($350 off the new price) at Costco. The 10-core M4 iMac with four Thunderbolt 4 ports instead of just two is $1,349 ($350 off the new price) at Costco.
