Big Savings on Apple Devices During Prime Day
Amazon’s October Prime Day event has brought solid discounts on a range of Apple devices, from iPads to Macs and a selection of accessories. If you’ve been waiting to upgrade or add Apple gear without waiting for Black Friday, this guide covers the best Apple deals spotted during Prime Big Deal Days and notes on when to expect additional price moves.
Top Apple Deals to Watch
MacBook Air (13-inch, M4, 512GB) for $999 (-$200): A standout value in the ultrabook category, the 13-inch MacBook Air M4 remains featherlight and capable for daily tasks, school work, and light creative work. The 512GB configuration with 16GB RAM is among the strongest price-performance combinations we’ve seen, and $999 is a strong performance under $1,000 for this model.
MacBook Air (15-inch, M4, 512GB) for $1,199 (-$200): For users who want a larger canvas, the 15-inch variant delivers a roomier display, bigger trackpad, and improved speakers. The discount is a familiar one for this model with 512GB, aligning well with historically strong prices.
iPad (A16, 256GB) for $399 (-$50): The base iPad remains a versatile choice for streaming, web browsing, and light productivity. With iPadOS continuing to add features, the A16 model still covers most casual-use cases and now comes with a notable savings for shoppers who want a tablet without paying a premium for high-end iPad Pro features.
AirTags (4-pack) for $75 (-$24): Apple’s trackers offer a broad finding network and ultra-wideband precision for locating items. A four-pack at this price makes it easier to tag keys, bags, and other essentials, especially if you’re building a starter setup or expanding existing AirTag finds.
Mac mini (M4) for $499 (-$100): The M4-powered Mac mini remains an appealing compact desktop option, with 16GB RAM by default and multiple ports for peripherals. This deal is for the base model (256GB SSD) and is a handy savings for those who want macOS on a small footprint without breaking the bank.
Apple Watch SE 3 (40mm, GPS) for $240 (-$9): The SE 3 brings an always-on display and the S10 chip, making it a practical entry point for first-time smartwatches or budget-focused buyers who want everyday health and fitness features.
Apple Watch Ultra 3 (49mm) for $780 (-$19): The rugged option for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts. While the discount isn’t earth-shattering, early adopters still benefit from a premium feature set, including brighter display and satellite connectivity capabilities, at a lower entry price.
Apple Watch Series 10 (42mm, GPS + Cellular) for $329 (-$170): If you’re eyeing a cellular model with modern health features without paying full price, this remains a compelling option. Series 10 offers essential health tracking and a robust smartwatch experience with LTE.
