Apple Prime Day deals: AirPods
AirPods are perhaps the Apple products that most come in for discounts at Amazon, and we've seen reductions during every major recent sale event, including Black Friday, Memorial Day in the US, and yes, Amazon Prime Day. Last year, we saw what was then a record low price for the AirPods Pro during Prime Day. That price has since been beaten, but we expect to see good prices on the AirPods Pro, Pro Max and the standard AirPods again this year. Indeed, there are already some decent savings to be had, as you'll see below.

Apple Prime Day deals: iMac
Apple's iMac range of computers contains some expensive devices and big discounts are relatively rare. We don't tend to see more than $100 - $200 / £100 – £200 shaved off the prices here at the best of times, and Amazon already has some savings in that range.

Apple Prime Day deals: iPad
Looking for a new tablet? Apple's are among the best options you have, and you can expect to find at least a bit of saving with iPad Prime Day deals. Based on the iPad Prime Day deals we've seen in previous years, we can expect to see some savings of around $100 / £100, possibly rising as high as $200 / £200 on higher-spec configurations.

Apple Prime Day deals: MacBook
Whether you're looking at the light and portable MacBook Air or the super-powerful MacBook Pro, MacBook Prime Day deals could get you a welcome saving. An Apple laptop is probably going to be able to do everything you need it to and more. Now that the new 2022 M2-chipped laptops are hitting the streets, we expect that we might see some good MacBook Prime Day discounts on the previous, M1-chipped 2020 and 2021 models.

Apple Prime Day deals: Apple Pencil
Apple Pencils don't tend to come in for more than the occasional small discount of up to around $20 / £20. We saw discounts of that size during Amazon Prime Day last year, and we can expect to see similar this year.
Apple Prime Day deals: Apple Watch
The latest Apple Watch models to be released are the Apple Watch 7 and the Apple Watch SE. While we would normally expect that to mean significant deals on older Apple Watches, new Series 6 watches are actually no longer anywhere to be seen. Fortunately, we've already been seeing discounts on the Apple Watch 7 and SE, however. They're both reduced but not at their lowest price at the moment. We wouldn't be surprised if they hit their lowest price again during Prime Day.

All you need to know about Apple Prime Day deals
When do Apple Prime Day deals start?
Amazon Prime Day 2022 will be held over 12 and 13 July (Yes, it's called Prime Day, but it's actually two days). The official sales start from 3am ET on 12 July, but in the past, we've seen deals starting earlier than the official kick-off – both on Amazon itself and from rival retailers. That's because while Prime Day is an Amazon-branded sale for members of its Amazon Prime subscription service, other retailers try to compete by offering good deals over the same period, or before.
This all means that it's worth starting to keep an eye out for Amazon Prime Day Apple deals right from the beginning of July. So bookmark this page and come back now and again, because we'll be updating it with all of the best deals as they go live.
Are Apple products included in Prime Day?
Amazon offers Prime Day discounts across a huge range of products, including a lot of tech items. In previous years, Apple products have been included in that. Don't expect massive Apple Prime Day deals across the tech giant's range, after all Apple products tend to hold their value. But, based on previous years, we expect to see some decent savings.
Last year, we saw up to $100 / £100 off the price of some iPads and MacBooks, rising to $200 / £200 in cases of the most high-spec configurations. We also what at the time were record low prices on AirPods Pro, plus some decent savings on iPhone 12 and Apple Watch 6 in the UK.
By and large, you'll need to turn to slightly older Apple products for the biggest potential savings. We're unlike to see much, or any, discount on the latest 2022 iPad Air, for example, but we could well see some tempting deals on the 2020 MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, and last year's iPads and MacBook Pros.
Don't forget that other retailers often try to get in on the action too and offer Prime Day Apple deals of their own (an open to non-Prime members). These are obviously not technically Prime Day Apple deals, but retailers seem to time them intentionally to compete with Amazon. We'll be tracking those deals here as well to give you more change of finding the best Apple deals without having to scour the web.
Do I need to be a Prime member to get Apple Prime Day deals?
In the main, yes; at least to get the official deals during Prime Day (or Days) itself. If you want to take advantage of Prime Day Apple deals from Amazon, you'll need to be a member of Amazon's subscription service, Amazon Prime.
Luckily you can sign up for a no-strings-attached 30-day free trial (opens in new tab), which means you can take advantage of Amazon Prime Day Apple deals before you start to be charged for a subscription. And you can always even cancel your subscription with no penalty as soon as Prime Day is over if you really don't think you'll continue to use the benefits of the service.
