As another Prime Day draws to a close, we can now say pretty definitively what have proven to be the best deals of the event. As expected, we've seen plenty of offers on Apple gear, from the iPad to the Apple Watch – but with just a few hours left of these deals, what's worth snapping up last minute? 

These are the 3 deals that, for us, hit that sweet spot between price and the quality of the product. Sure, there are cheaper deals to be found on older kit, but you don't want to be strapping an Apple Watch Series 2 to your wrist in 2023. The hardware below is nothing if not future-proof.

MacBook Air (M1, 2020, 256GB): $899 $749 at AmazonSave $150:

MacBook Air (M1, 2020, 256GB): $899 $749 at Amazon
Save $150: While the M2 might have more power, the sheer value of this M1-chipped MacBook Air makes it hard to pass up. We've seen the amazing MacBook Air (M1) on sale for around $899, but $749 is the current all-time low price. Excellent deal. 

Price check: $869 at Walmart

In the UK? Was £949 now £949 at Very is the best deal left.

Apple Watch Series 8£419 £349 at Amazon Save £70:

Apple Watch Series 8: £419 £349 at Amazon
Save £70: In the UK, the Apple Watch Series 8 is at a record low UK price in this deal. There are savings on several colours and configurations including cellular versions and the larger 45mm models, but if you're not a Prime member and don't want to join, Curry's also has discounts, some of which aren't so far from Amazon's price.

Price match: £369 at Currys

In the US? Was $429 now $309 at Amazon

iPad Air 5th Gen (M1, 2022): $749 $649.99 at Amazon Save $100:

iPad Air 5th Gen (M1, 2022): $749 $649.99 at Amazon
Save $100: In the US, this is the current record-low price of the awesome iPad Air. With the M1 chip and Apple Pencil 2 support it feels more like an iPad Pro than an Air. However, with a $100 saving, it's perhaps more attractive than a Pro right now. This price is for the 246GB   version, but there's also $100 off the 64GB model.

Price check: $679 at Walmart
