These are the best Prime Day Apple Deals to bite into — here are the lowest prices we've found

This is an outrageous price for the Apple AirPods Pro 2! In fact, it's the lowest we've seen in ages, so if you've been toying with a pair or need to replace your current pair, now is the time. These are still not cheap compared to some lesser-known brands, but the quality is hard to beat. They've been a top-seller for a while, with hundreds of thousands of perfect ratings.

With Prime Day deals, you can snag a pair of Apple AirPods that's $40 off, down to just $130. But to be perfectly honest, this set of AirPods is not as powerful as the Apple AirPods Pro 2, which are only $168 today. If you're going to spring on AirPods, spend that $40 difference on the high quality pair. Our shopping editor picked up a pair of these 3rd Gen AirPods when they were down to $100 during Black Friday and immediately returned them. They're flimsier than the Pros and don't actually do much for noise cancellation. After buying the AirPods Pros 2, she finally understood what the AirPod hype was all about. For a price difference of just $40 between the two pairs, we can't in good conscience recommend this pair—shop the Pros instead.

Named the best headphones for Apple die-hards by our senior tech writer, Rick Broida, the Apple AirPods Max combine style and performance in a unique package (literally) — they come in a special carrying cover as opposed to a case. 

"Best headphones ever," wrote one impressed reviewer. "Recently had a root canal done, and didn't hear a thing (my dentist said that was a first in his experience). They cancel the noise I don't want to hear and provide superb sound for music I do want to hear."

During Prime Day, you can snag your own pair for a whopping $150 off, a downright dreamy price for such an impressive pair of over-ear headphones.

Don't let its release date fool you — though this Apple iPad first burst onto the scene in 2021, it's still one of the best tablets on the market, ideal for everything from working to playing. And, good news: It's back to its all-time lowest price during Prime Day!

"The battery life is great for note-taking," one reviewer wrote. "It's super light to carry around and the space gray color I chose is so sleek and classy. It took me about five minutes to set it up."

Turn your iPad into an easy-to-use canvas with a Apple Pencil. You can sign documents, write and draw with ease. Compatible with multiple generations of iPads, it also makes for a great gift, especially when we've not seen this low a price on a USB-C charging Apple Pencil, ever. 

Editor's Note: Am I about to talk you out of purchasing this deal? You bet I am. I bought an Apple Pencil that's now a glorified paperweight. An Apple Pencil is essentially a stylus, and you can get a four-pack for less than $10 on Amazon. An Apple Pencil is a worthwhile investment if you're an artist who uses it to draw or illustrate on your tablet, but if you're a casual iPad owner just looking for something to help you navigate, skip the Pencil and invest in a cheap stylus. — Kate

Dubbed the best overall tablet of 2024 by our in-house tech expert, the Apple iPad 10th Generation is the cream of the crop in terms of tablets, so grabbing it now while it's on sale is a great idea. It comes with a one-year warranty, and has up to 10 hours of battery life on a single charge.

If traditional iPads are a bit too cumbersome for your daily routine, the smaller, more approachable Apple iPad Mini may be right up your alley. It's only 8.3 inches wide and is small enough to hold with just one hand. It's also just a few bucks above the lowest price it's been all year. 

"I never realized how much I needed an iPad until I got this. The Mini is so cute and it fits in my medium size purse. There's nothing it can't do that the newer or bigger ones can't. Easy to travel with. Easy to use and high performance," wrote one fan.

Though it was released a couple of years ago, this MacBook Air is just as lightweight as its newer cousins and doesn't skimp on power thanks to its M2 chip. This is only $49 more than its all-time lowest price, so we recommend taking advantage of this deal while you still can. It's one of the better Apple deals we've spotted during this Prime Day.

"Eighteen hours of battery life is not just marketing. The speed of the M2 is snappy and can handle much more than I thought it would," raved one shopper. "The new screen is gorgeous. Trackpad is the best on the market bar none."

This model, powered by Apple's ultra-fast M3 chip, was released this year, so we're surprised to find it on sale — especially at a $250 discount. This isn't its all-time lowest price, but it's still pretty impressive. It's also one of the thinnest and lightest laptops you'll find, so can you really go wrong?

"I am in love with this laptop," said one reviewer. "[It's] a complete game changer. I am usually a PC guy but I ended up getting a Mac to change things up. ... The M3 chip is also insanely fast and the extra RAM definitely helps me browse more things at once. ... Would recommend completely!"

If you're guilty of being a little (or very) forgetful, an AirTag may just be that piece of tech you didn't know you needed. It doesn't feel or look too "techy." In fact, it's completely uncomplicated. Just attach it to whatever you tend to misplace often or need to keep track of, like your wallet, keys or even your luggage. You'll always know where it is using the "Find My" app in your phone. It's also among our picks for the best Bluetooth trackers on the market.

"I use these for everything as a chronic misplacer," one shopper admitted. "My most recent purchase was for my cat's collar because she hides all over the house. It provides great peace of mind!"

Have more than a wallet, a pet or a piece of luggage to keep track of? This set of four gives you so much more bang for your buck. 

"First, we bought one Apple AirTag for my husband's wallet. Then we bought a second one for his car keys," one reviewer wrote. "Now, we have a four-pack, which is cheaper, for our golf bags and checked roller bags."

If you've been waiting for an Apple Watch to go on major sale, this deal may be the answer to your wishes. This 2023-released SE has everything you need, from trackers for your heart rate and steps to crash detection. 

"I've had this watch for a couple of months and cannot say enough good things!" said one five-star reviewer. "It makes it easy to track workouts and heart rate. Very easy to set up and use, not to mention the battery lasts me two days! Don't know how I lived without it! Also great for easily seeing my notifications when I'm working from home! Love being able to see work things while moving around my house."

If you have a little more to spend, thisi Apple Watch is worth the investment. Released this year, it boasts an always-on Retina display and comes with useful features like ECG apps, a fitness tracker and more. While this isn't the lowest it's been all year, its current sale price isn't too shabby.

"I was like, 'What's the hubbub about these watches?'... until I got one," this five-star reviewer said. "I am one that really needs in-your-face reminders and this thing reminds me by giving me a vibration so I never miss my reminders. I really like that."
