Amazon’s Prime Day sale kicks off on June 23rd, but already we’re seeing some notable Apple deals trickle in. Whether you’re looking for a new pair of wireless earbuds or a smartwatch, many retailers are offering notable discounts ahead of the shopping event. Walmart and Amazon recently surprised us with a new all-time low on the AirPods Pro 3, bringing the earbuds down to $169, though the deal has been volatile, going in and out of stock. Meanwhile, the Apple Watch Series 11 has returned to one of its best prices to date.

Of course, there’s a good chance some Apple products will see even steeper discounts once Prime Day arrives, but it’s anyone’s guess which deals will improve and by how much. For now, the below are the best Apple deals available right now. And, if you’re curious what else is already on sale ahead of the big sales event, be sure to check out our roundup of the best early Prime Day deals, which we’re keeping up to date.

We’ll also continue updating this guide as Prime Day approaches and throughout the event itself, highlighting the best Apple deals as they become available.

Earbud and headphone deals

AirPods Pro 3

The latest AirPods Pro offer improved noise cancellation and richer bass, along with built-in heart sensors that works with Apple’s Fitness app to monitor calories burned across more than 50 workouts. Read our review.

Where to Buy:

  • The AirPods 4 on sale at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy for $99 ($30 off). Apple’s entry-level earbuds offer richer bass than previous generations along with a more robust IP54 rating for water and dust resistance. They match the latest AirPods Pro in voice call quality and work well with other Apple devices too, though they lack more advanced features like active noise cancellation. It might be a pro or con to some that this model simply rests in your ear. They don’t create a tight seal like the AirPods Pro.
  • The AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation and wireless charging are also on sale at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy for $148.99 ($30 off). It’s a solid deal, but given the AirPods Pro 3 are currently available for about $20 or so more, we’d recommend buying those instead. They drown out noise better and offer additional features like a heart-rate sensor that justify the small price difference. Read our review.

AirPods Max 2

Apple’s over-ears retain the premium design of the original while delivering improved sound quality and better noise cancellation. They also sport Apple’s H2 chip, which enables newer features like live translation. Read our review.

Where to Buy:

  • The Beats Powerbeats Fit are on sale for $169.95 ($30 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart, which is $20 shy of their all-time low and their second-best price to date. Like all Beats earbuds and headphones, the noise-canceling Fit are platform-agnostic and natively support a number of iOS and Android features like one-step pairing and Find My support. The Beats Fit Pro successor also features a redesigned wingtip with built-in silicone fins and ear tips that are designed to provide a more secure fit during workouts than traditional earbuds.
  • The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 are on sale for $199.95 ($70 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart, which is also $20 shy of their all-time low price. Their ear-hook design helps keep them securely in place, while Apple’s H2 chip grants access to AirPods Pro features like Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, and better noise cancellation than you’ll get with the Powerbeats Fit. Plus, unlike the Fit, they support wireless charging. Read our review.

Beats Studio Pro

The latest Beats Studio Pro feature improved noise cancellation, sound quality, and comfort. They also support lossless audio over USB-C and offer native support for a range of iOS and Android features like other Beats headphones. Read our review.

Where to Buy:

  • The Beats Solo 4 have dropped to $118.95 at Macy’s in gray — their second-best price to date — while other colors are on sale for $129.95 ($70 off) at Amazon and Walmart, which is $40 more than their all-time low we saw last year. The wireless headphones offer a noticeable step-up in performance from the  Beats Solo 3, delivering more detailed sound and support for lossless audio over the included USB-C or 3.5mm cable. They also provide up to 50 hours of battery life , plus comfortable memory foam ear cushions, though they don’t include active noise cancellation. Read our review.
  • You can buy the Beats Studio Buds Plus on sale for $99.95 ($80 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target, which is one of their better prices to date. The wireless earbuds offer good active noise cancellation along with four swappable ear tips for a comfortable, secure fit (though perhaps not as secure as the Powerbeats Pro 2). They also sport a slick translucent colorway and can last up to 27 hours on a single charge. Read our review.

Apple Watch deals

Apple Watch Series 11 (42mm, GPS)

Although the Apple Watch Series 11 is the same size as its predecessor, it features a display that’s twice as durable, 5G modem on cellular models, and slightly improved battery life. Read our review.

Where to Buy:

  • You can buy the Apple Watch Ultra 3 with an Ocean Band for $699.99 ($100 off) at Amazon, which matches its best price to date. Amazon’s also selling the wearable with a Trail Loop strap or Alpine Loop strap for $50 more, with Best Buy matching that price. The Ultra 3 is Apple’s most rugged and feature-packed smartwatch, making it a great choice for athletes and outdoorsy folks. It delivers up to 42 hours of battery life — six hours more than its predecessor — and features a larger wide-angle OLED display with a refresh rate that goes down to just 1Hz for battery savings, plus slimmer bezels. It also supports both satellite connectivity and 5G. Read our review.

Apple Watch SE 3

The Apple Watch SE 3 offers some big upgrades over its predecessor, including an always-on display, allowing you to glance at the time or unread notifications. It also has Apple’s powerful S10 chip, which enables on-device Siri requests. Read our review.

Where to Buy:

  • If you’re looking to change up the look of your Apple Watch Series 11, Woot is selling a variety of Apple Watch bands starting at $14.99 ($35 off) through June 26th. They’re available in multiple colors, sizes, and styles, and the deal marks a new low price.

iPad deals

iPad (2025)

Apple’s entry-level iPad is an excellent tablet for casual use, even if it is getting a little long in the tooth. Its high-res screen is great for watching video, and its A16 processor is still fast enough to handle light games and productivity apps. Read our review.

Where to Buy:

  • The 11-inch M4-powered iPad Air is on sale for $559 ($40 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, which is its second-best price to date. The Air is a sizable step up from Apple’s entry-level iPad, combining a faster M4 chip with 12GB of RAM, Apple Intelligence features, and support for the Apple Pencil Pro. It also includes newer connectivity standards like Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, making it more futureproof. Read our review.
  • The 13-inch M4-powered iPad Air is on sale for $749 ($50 off), which is also its second best price, at Amazon and Walmart. The tablet is identical to the 11-inch model, but sports a larger display that’s better suited for multitasking.

Other Apple deals

Apple AirTags (second-generation)

Apple’s latest AirTags features an upgraded ultra-wideband chip for more precise location tracking, a noticeably louder speaker, and an expanded Bluetooth range. Read our review.

Where to Buy:

  • You can buy a pack of four first-generation AirTags on sale for $64.99 at Woot, which isn’t the lowest price we’ve seen but still a decent $35 discount off the original price. The last-gen AirTags aren’t as precise as the newer model and don’t feature as loud of a built-in speaker, but they still offer more impressive item tracking than other competitors when paired with an iPhone. Read our review.
  • The 13-inch MacBook Air is available with an M5 chip, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD for $949.99 ($149 off) at Amazon, which is $50 shy of its all-time low price. The 15-inch model, meanwhile, is also on sale at Amazon and Best Buy for $1,149, which is also $50 more than its record low. Both laptops deliver excellent everyday performance, with SSD read and write speeds that rival the M5-powered MacBook Pro, along with long battery life, a comfortable keyboard, and support for Wi-Fi 7.
