Amazon’s Apple deals are looking especially juicy and ripe this week. The retail giant’s fourth annual Prime Big Deal Days sale runs through Wednesday, Oct. 8, and it’s ushering in some record-low prices on Apple Watches, AirPods, iPads, and MacBooks.
This year, the “October Prime Day” sale (Amazon’s unofficial Black Friday kickoff event) comes hot on the heels of Apple’s “Awe Dropping” launch of new iPhones, Apple Watches, and AirPods. Deals on the new iPhone 17 series or iPhone Air are highly unlikely — no luck yet, at least — but the brand-new Apple Watch Series 11 and SE 3 are already seeing their first teensy discounts in honor of the occasion.
If you don’t mind some slight spec downgrades, Amazon is doling out even more impressive discounts to those wearables’ predecessors: The Apple Watch Series 10 and second-gen SE with cellular connectivity are on sale for $329 and $219, respectively. Those prices blow past their previous all-time lows.
200+ October Prime Day deals: Save on Apple, Sony, Samsung, and Lego
Other Apple devices that are cheaper than ever this Prime Big Deal Days include the AirPods 4 (now starting at just $89), the 11-inch M3 iPad Air (now $449), and the M4 MacBook Air (now $799 in the 13-inch size). In total, we’ve spotted over two dozen Apple products that are chilling at record-low prices. Even more impressively, Best Buy hasn’t been able to beat any of them during its competing Techtober Sale; it’s just matching some.
Read on for a rundown of our top picks. We’ll continue to monitor prices (marked with a 🔥) as Prime Big Deal Days progresses, so check back often.

Best AirPods deal
Why we like them
Apple’s latest wireless earbuds are one of our favorite pairs for budget shoppers, offering “five hours of battery life and smooth sound quality,” per Mashable’s Samantha Mangino. (She especially recommends them for iPhone and iPad owners because they connect seamlessly with those devices.) Dirt-cheap AirPods are a Prime Day staple, and Amazon really delivered this Prime Big Deal Days: The standard AirPods are only $89 right now (normally $129), while the ANC version is just $119 (usually $179). You’ll lock in an all-time low either way.

Best Apple Watch deal
Why we like it
While the Apple Watch Series 10 is virtually identical to its successor in terms of features and design, its battery life is a bit worse. That’s not ideal if you plan to regularly use tracking tools like Sleep Score, which get less accurate in Low Power Mode, but it’s an easy sacrifice at a price like this. The rose gold Series 10 with cellular connectivity and a light blush sport band is now just $329 — a 34% savings and a new all-time low. Before this month, it never dipped below $370.
This deal is so good, we almost think it might be a fluke on Amazon’s part (either that or an inventory-clearing clearance discount).

Best iPad deal
Why we like it
The latest 11-inch iPad Air isn’t vastly different from its M2 predecessor, but its better battery life (over 14 hours per charge) and faster M3 processor are both appreciated upgrades. That impressive performance, plus the fact that iPadOS 26 now supports a nifty windowing system, makes it a solid MacBook alternative for shoppers on a budget. We think it’s the best iPad for most people, especially now that it’s down to just $449 at Amazon — that’s its best price on record.

Best MacBook deal
Why we like it
The M4 MacBook Air is an absolute powerhouse, outperforming 89% of the laptops in our current testing database. Compared to the previous-gen M3 model, it features a better 12MP Center Stage camera and open-lid support for two external displays. The 13-inch model is now on sale for just $799 (typically $999), which is yet another all-time low.

Friendly reminder that the AirPods Max are on sale for one of their lowest prices ever at $429. The only time we’ve seen it beat was back in July’s Prime Day sale when they got all the way down to $399. Other than that, we’ve only seen them drop down to $449. In other words, if you’ve been waiting for a good AirPods Max deal, the wait is over.

Amazon finally got its act together and matched Best Buy’s deal on the Apple Watch Ultra 2. (For the first few hours of Prime Big Deal Days, it was completely out of stock there.) It’s on sale in several colors and styles for $649, or $150 off — a new record-low price by 99 cents.

This just in: The brand-new Apple Watch SE 3 is on sale for Prime Big Deal Days. It’s only $9.01 off (same as the new Series 11), but it’s also less than three weeks old, so we’ll take what we can get.

Beats is owned by Apple, and many of the audio brand’s most popular products are on sale. Unlike Apple audio products, Beats play well with Android devices, making them a more versatile option. In the last hour, the Beats Studio Buds dropped an extra $10 in price.

The best Prime Day deal on the Apple Watch Ultra 2 isn’t actually at Amazon, where this past-gen model is out of stock. Instead, head to Best Buy, where you can pick up this premium smartwatch and fitness tracker with a hefty discount.

While Amazon often discounts newly released Apple products during its fall sale, that’s not the case so far this year. While you can grab a $10 discount on the new Apple Watch Series 11, that discount was available before October Prime Day began.
So far, we aren’t seeing the discounts we hoped for on the new AirPods Pro 3, Apple Watch Series 11, or Apple Watch Ultra 3. The minute these new releases go on sale, we’ll update this shopping guide.
