LIVE: These are the few Apple deals I'd recommend so far this Prime Day in October

Our favourite digital art iPad is at its lowest ever price right now: it's $50 below its previous low of $499, and that beats this July's Prime Day price! Our iPad Air review raves about it.

It's the iPad Air with an M3 chip so it's the zippiest one – and its screen is a pure delight. It is compatible with the fantastic Apple Pencil Pro and is more than good enough for most creative work (though if you're going heavier you'll need the Pro).

Price history: Previous lowest price $499.

I love this watch with its big screen and mega fast charging – in fact, I'm wearing it right now. This is a great deal, but it isn't the best I've seen. Actually, it was $279 in July's Prime Day, so I would potentially wait until tomorrow to jump on this.

There is also a nice deal on the SE, if you'd rather have a simpler one. That watch was more than good enough for me for years, and if you're not looking to go underwater or track your sleep you'll be fine.

Price history: Previous low $279

The latest MacBook Air was already great value. Prime Day seals the deal since both Best Buy and Amazon have $200 off, reducing the price to just $799 for a super-portable laptop with 16GB RAM, ideal for content creation on the go. Worth noting that July's Prime Day price was only $849!

Price history: Previous low $849

Amazon US doesn't have any record-low prices on MacBooks yet so I am not including an Amazon deal here. Best Buy has beaten Prime Day in October in this instance, with $500 off the last-gen MacBook Pro.

It's a good price on a brilliant laptop that still has more than enough power for most people. It has that beautiful liquid retina screen and incredible battery life!

A 30% discount on these AirPods is actually a really good deal. They're the latest AirPods and I am listening through them right now (well not this exact pair). I love how I can find them on the multiple times I lose them in a day, using FindMy, and they also read my text messages to me.

This version doesn't have ANC but there's a record-low price of $119 on those. The premium AirPods Pro 2 are also the cheapest they've ever been with $100 off – now $149.

This is the 'basic' iPad, and if you're wanting to do heavy creative tasks, you'll want to look at the iPad Pro or at least the Air, but we found this to be perfect for general productivity tasks, streaming, browsing and some light creative work like sketching. It was at its lowest price ever of £279 just yesterday but an extra fiver has now been added. I'll keep it on this list as it's still a bargain.

We LOVE the MacBook Air, and the M4 version is perfect for creative work on the go, as our M4 MacBook Air review showed. It's light and portable, and zippy to boot. This is a great price on the 13-inch model, and there are also deals available on the 15-inch version.

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure about the Apple Watch 10 until I got one, but the fast battery charging and the bigger screen are great. Even if you're not obsessively tracking your health and/or sleep, it's a worthwhile upgrade.

And that's especially true when there is this deal, which brings it to the lowest price ever. See Apple Watch generations for a list of all the Apple Watch models.

Price history: previous low – £299.99

I have a pair of the AirPods 4 and I love that they read you your text messages. The sound is great, too, for a basic pair of AirPods (the AirPods Pro 2 are also at a record-low price of £179 if you want to spend more).

If you're in the Apple ecosystem, AirPods are the smoothest addition – the FindMy function has never been more used than with these earbuds. Believe me.

Price history: Previous low– £116

Okay so this is only matching the lowest price ever, but it's a reasonable deal. We love the Pro because it's the perfect creative tool, with a ton of features designed for digital artists. If you want something more basic, the Apple Pencil USB-C is also at its lowest price – it's £65 reduced from £79.
