There are Apple Prime Day deals you can’t ignore – including a record-low iPad price of over $100

Amazon is gearing up for its big fall Prime Day event — scheduled for October 8-9 — and while those dates are just around the corner, it’s worth taking advantage of some early deals now, especially when they include discounts on brands like Apple , which aren’t always easy to get. Top-selling brands start at $25 for some products, such as the Apple AirTag. AirTags is also one of our most preferred tracking devices and is great for helping you avoid losing your belongings.

If you’re considering a new tablet or an upgrade from a previous version, the ninth-generation iPad is just $199 — the lowest price ever, perhaps ever. And although it’s technically an older model, it’s still one of the best tablets, according to our in-house tech expert. AirPods are also fair game, saving you up to $90 on the standard, Pro, and Max models. One of Apple’s cheapest (and most useful) versions of all time is AirTag. Right now, you can get one for $25, down from $29, or a pack of four for $79, down from $99. (By the way, did you know AirTags have batteries? When it’s time to replace them, grab this trusted 12-pack for just $6.)

There will be no shortage of deals, but with prices this low, we can’t imagine these particular products dropping during the Prime Day event.

Named the best headphones for die-hard Apple fans by our senior tech writer Rick Broida, they combine style and performance in a unique package (literally) – they come in a special case, not a case.

“The best headphones of all time,” wrote one impressed reviewer. “I recently had a root canal and couldn’t hear anything (my dentist said it was the first time in his life). They block out the sounds I don’t want to hear and make the music I do want to hear sound great.”

If traditional iPads are too bulky for everyday use, the smaller, more affordable Mini may be right for you. It’s only 8.3 inches wide and small enough to hold with one hand. It’s also just a few dollars above the lowest price all year.

“I never realized how much I needed an iPad until I got this one. The Mini is so cute and fits in my medium sized purse. There’s nothing it can’t do that the newer or bigger ones can’t do. Easy to travel with. Easy to use and high performance,” wrote one fan.

Even though this MacBook Air was released a few years ago, it’s just as light as its newer cousins ​​and doesn’t skimp on power thanks to the M2 chip. This is only $49 more than the lowest price ever, so we recommend taking advantage of this offer while you still can.

“Eighteen hours of battery life is not just about marketing. The speed of the M2 is lightning fast and it can withstand much more than I thought,” one shopper raved. “The new screen is beautiful. The trackpad is the best on the market.”

This model, powered by Apple’s ultra-fast M3 chip, was released earlier this year, so we’re surprised to see it on sale – especially at a $170 discount. It’s not the lowest price ever, but it’s still impressive. It’s also one of the thinnest and lightest laptops you’ll find. Can you really go wrong?

“I am in love with this laptop,” said one reviewer. “(It) completely changes the game. I’m usually a PC user, but I finally decided to switch to a Mac to change that. … The M3 chip is also blazing fast, and the extra RAM definitely helps me view more things at once. …I recommend it completely!”

If you’re guilty of being a little (or a lot) forgetful, AirTag might just be that piece of technology you didn’t know you needed. It doesn’t feel or look too “technical”. In fact, it is completely uncomplicated. Simply attach it to anything you often lose or need, such as your wallet, keys, or even luggage. With the “Find My” app on your phone, you’ll always know where it is. It’s also one of our best Bluetooth trackers on the market.

“I use them for everything because I’m chronically lost,” admitted one shopper. “My last purchase was a collar for my cat because he hides all over the house. Provides great peace of mind!”

“I’ve had this watch for a few months now and I can’t say enough good things!” said one five-star reviewer. “It makes it easier to track your workouts and heart rate. Very easy to set up and use, not to mention the battery lasts me two days! I don’t know how I could live without her!

If you have a little more to spend, this Apple Watch is worth investing in. Launched this year, it has an always-on Retina display and useful features like ECG apps, a fitness tracker, and more. While this isn’t the lowest price all year, the current sale price isn’t too high.
