Best Amazon Prime Day Apple deals

Save on AirPods, Apple Watch, iPads, MacBooks and more.

For Amazon Prime Day, there’s a great deal on the new 11-inch iPad Pro in space black. It’s the newest M4 model that was released in May. With 1TB of storage and Wi-Fi, it’s reduced by 17% from $1,599 to $1,328.99. (Note: Other M4 iPads aren’t as heavily discounted, just the space black version.)

It’s a cracking deal on the latest, greatest iPad, which is shockingly thin.

There’s also a glorious deal on AirPods Pro 2 (with the latest USB-C charging case). Regularly $249, Amazon Prime Day has them for just $168.99, which is 32% off and the lowest price we’ve ever seen.

I use my AirPods Pro 2 almost every day. They always work perfectly and I’d be at sea without them!

These are just a couple of examples of some of the great deals you can get on Apple gear — see our roundup of the best we could find.

Also in today’s newsletter:

  • Apple released the first public betas of iOS, iPadOS, watchOS and macOS. See the posts below for instructions on downloading them.

  • The new Photos app in iOS 18 is struggling to find fans of its redesign, but it is getting a handy new photo-recovery feature.

  • Bluetti makes some of the best solar charging stations and battery packs out there, and many are on sale during Prime Day ahead of summer camping trips (and blackouts!).

  • We hands-on review Edifier’s new W830NB noise-canceling headphones. While they’re not quite in the same league as AirPods Max and other expensive cans, they are a lot cheaper.

One more thing ...

Apple is a company that was based on innovation. When I left Apple 10 years ago, we were 10 years ahead on anybody else. It took Microsoft 10 years to copy with Windows. The problem was that Apple stood still.
