2024's Amazon Prime Day sales event is set to arrive on July 16. The two-day sales event routinely brings in significant deals on Apple products like MacBooks, iPads, Apple Watches, AirPods, and more, and this year should be no exception.
Though the best Prime Day Apple deals will likely arrive on the designated deal days in July, Amazon is already offering enticing discounts like an all-time low price of $1,129 on the new 15-inch MacBook Air and $100 off the 9th-generation iPad.
Here, we've compiled the best early Apple deals ahead of Prime Day. Bookmark this page and check back in the weeks before Amazon's sale event, as we'll update it routinely with more deals.
Best early Prime Day MacBook deals
You no longer need a $2,000 MacBook Pro to get a 15-inch display. The 15-inch MacBook Air stretches your viewing real estate and offers the latest M3 power at a budget-friendly price. The larger screen will also greatly benefit anyone doing lots of media editing or needing to view spreadsheets.
Apple's powerful M3 Pro chipset and this base MacBook Pro model's soldered 18GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD storage work together to create a very capable video and music production machine.
Best early Prime Day iPad deals
The 2021 9th-gen 10.2-inch iPad is great for those who need an iPad for simple and basic tasks, like streaming videos, browsing the web, and running apps.
The 6th-generation iPad Mini from 2021 remains a compact, portable powerhouse with its 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display and Apple's A15 Bionic processor.
The 2024 iPad Air runs on Apple’s M2 processor introduced in certain Apple computers in 2022, making it a veritable ultra-portable powerhouse for visual creative work. It comes in the standard 11-inch option and a brand new 13-inch model, which gives you a powerful large tablet for a significantly lower price than the 13-inch iPad Pro.
Best early Prime Day Apple Watch deals
The Apple Watch Series 9 includes the latest S9 processor, a 2000-nit always-on Retina display, expanded Apple Health integrations with Siri, and a unique single-hand gesture to answer calls and interact with widgets.
The second-generation Apple Watch SE is an impressive entry-level wearable that shares the same processor as the Series 8 and Ultra. It doesn’t have the advanced health sensors of premium models, but it offers enough features to satisfy most people.
Best early Prime Day AirPods and Beats deals
Apple's second-generation AirPods are the company's least expensive and most basic model. They lack noise cancellation and other audio perks but still deliver solid sound quality for the money.
The AirPods Pro 2 are a big upgrade from their predecessors, with improved noise cancellation and battery life, new touch controls for volume, and a redesigned case with a built-in speaker and pinpoint location tracking. This USB-C model comes with a modern charging port and added dust resistance.
The Beats Studio Pro are wireless headphones designed to do it all, whether you want to be fully immersed in an album or take a call on the go. They offer both active noise canceling (ANC) and transparency modes, making them a versatile option for any situation.
When is Amazon Prime Day 2024?
Amazon announced this week that its 2024 Prime Day sales event will take place on July 16 and 17. The event starts at 3:01 a.m. ET on July 16.
Is Prime Day good for Apple deals?
Like years past, this year's Prime Day sales event is sure to bring solid discounts and even all-time low prices to Apple products like MacBooks, Apple Watches, AirPods, iPads, and related accessories.
However, we're unlikely to see deals of note on any of the best iPhones, as the latest iPhones rarely see discounts on Amazon, and older models in new condition tend to go out of stock.
What Apple deals do we expect for Prime Day?
While the latest Apple products could see slight discounts on Prime Day, previous-generation models of Apple's laptops, tablets, and headphones tend to see the most transformative and welcoming deals.
For instance, during last year's event, Amazon sold the base model of the ninth-generation iPad at an all-time low price of $249 when it was still one of the best iPads on the market.
Do you need a Prime membership to get access to deals?
Yes, official Prime Day deals are exclusive to people and households with Amazon Prime subscriptions. If you want to try the service before the event, you can sign up for a free Amazon Prime trial.
