Best post-Prime Day deals on Apple products

Here are the top extended Prime Day Apple deals to check out:

Here’s a more detailed look at all current Apple sales, including the items highlighted above.

Best deals on Apple headphones and speakers after Prime Day

If you have an iPhone, iPad, or MacBook (or all three), AirPods are some of the best earbuds you can buy that you can use with any Apple product. They have excellent sound quality and great features like active noise cancellation and transparency mode, and they are the most convenient Bluetooth earbuds for Apple users because they can be paired and connected with all your devices. All you have to do is put them in your ears and use the device you want to connect them to. The earbuds should connect immediately, like magic.

Apple’s latest generation of AirPods Pro come with a USB-C charging case, improved ANC, and more. You can look forward to long battery life and many more of the best wireless earbuds Apple is selling as part of the Prime Day event.

Best Apple Watch deals after Prime Day

The Apple Watch is the smartwatch option of choice for iPhone users, and there are several models to choose from, from the most recent Apple Watch Series 10 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 to the affordable Apple Watch SE.

Although the Apple Watch Series 10 has only been on shelves for a few weeks, Amazon is already offering a small discount on Apple’s latest smartwatch. The biggest discount currently on offer is $23 off the 42mm rose gold variant, but there are other variants on sale as well.

Best Apple iPad deals after Prime Day

The iPad has grown enormously in recent years and is now much more than just a screen on which you watch Netflix. It is even a laptop replacement for many people. Now you can get an iPad Air, iPad Mini or a standard iPad at a discount, so choose the one that suits you best.

This little tablet packs a lot of power and is now available at a significant discount from its MSRP of $499. Although this model was released a few years ago, it could be the perfect mid-sized tablet if you want something bigger than a phone, but smaller than a laptop or a full iPad.

Best Apple MacBook deals after Prime Day

If you’re looking for a new laptop for work or school, there are some nice savings available on Apple laptops after Prime Day. Whether it’s a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, you get a fast and portable machine at a discount.

With a 14-inch Liquid Retina XDR display and the fast M3 Pro chip, this MacBook Pro can handle almost anything you can think of. It comes with 18GB of RAM and a fast 512GB SSD. Right now you can save an impressive $200 on it.

Best deals on Apple accessories after Prime Day

Apple accessories aren’t always the cheapest around, but they are almost always of excellent quality. Fans of Apple’s keyboards and trackpads should definitely take a look below, while the Apple Studio Display is worth considering with a $250 discount right now.

If you often lose your keys or can never quite remember where that wallet went, a Bluetooth item tracker can be a real lifesaver. The Apple AirTag is among the best taggers, and right now you can get four of them for $80.

If you only need one, you can purchase one Apple AirTag for $25 with a $4 savings available.

Will Apple offer post-Prime Day sales?

It’s important to note that while the Apple Store doesn’t have a sale on Prime Day in October (and rarely offers discounts outside of educational promotions), it is possible to find deals on Apple devices and accessories at authorized retailers, including Amazon. The best deals usually accompany major events like Amazon Prime Day or a major holiday, and there are plenty of competing anti-Prime Day sales where you can find discounted Apple products, including Best Buy and Walmart, making it an excellent moment is to shop for Apple sales across devices. And once those sales have officially ended, there are usually still some lingering deals up for grabs. If you want to spend less, try forgoing the latest releases. You’ll find bigger discounts on previous generation models or refurbished units.

How does CNET select October’s best Prime Day deals?

Our team of expert shoppers and deal hunters have been helping buyers understand which big sales and deals are legitimately good and which are more routine for years. That includes Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day and countless other shopping events. We’ve gotten really good at weeding out scams and superficial deals on all kinds of tech, so you only see the best deals, including Apple deals.

At CNET we look for real discounts, quality ratings and remaining sales time when choosing a deal to show you.

• Real discounts mean exactly that. We look at the price history of that product to ensure that no manufacturer is inflating prices to make the discount appear more substantial than it is.
• Quality ratings are important for any product, but especially for deeply discounted items. Upgrading your technology can be a big investment, and the discount isn’t worth it if you don’t get enough mileage out of it.
• The remaining sales time is a large part of our control process. If a deal is likely to be short-lived or limited to remaining stock, we will let you know in advance. So you won’t be disappointed if you come back later and find the deal has been discontinued.

When do Prime Day Apple deals end?

Prime Day ended on October 9 at 11:59 PM PT, but there are some lingering deals you can still grab before they disappear completely.
