The 20 Prime Day Apple Deals in 2024 Worth a Look—and the One To Avoid

The budget version of the Apple Watch can still do a surprising amount, especially compared to smartwatches from other brands. The SE still comes with crash detection, heart rate monitoring, and sleep tracking. Plus, Apple can provide metrics on a wide range of workouts, not to mention all the apps and widgets you can access.

If you want the newest version of the Apple Watch (and we know you do), the just-launched Series 10 is already on sale, though not by much. The new smartwatch has a bigger OLED display with a wider viewing angle, not to mention a thinner, more lightweight design. The battery life can stretch to 18 hours, so it can run from morning to night.

The Series 9 won’t be available on Amazon for much longer, and the GPS version is marked down by $100 while it’s still in stock. The always-on Retina display is just as impressive in 2024 as it was on launch day.

The ultra-durable Ultra 2 has the biggest display, and the often-imitated design will be instantly recognizable to other gadget obsessives. This smartwatch seriously ups the ante, with up to 36 hours of batter, water-resistance up to 100m, and 3,000 nits of brightness on the OLED display. It can even tell you if you’re displaying signs of sleep apnea. Like the Series 10, the discount ain’t much, but it’s something..

An on-page coupon drops the price of this fancy-schmany Apple tablet by a $150. What makes it so schmany? The CDR display is clutch for video editors, and it’s the only way to get your hands on the latest M4 chip. Supplies are going fast, so don’t sit on that fence too long.

All the way at the other end of the spectrum, you have the previous-previous-gen iPad 9. Sure, it’s out of date, but a $199 iPad is impossible to ignore. If you just need something for scrolling once you put the work laptop away, consider this classic Apple tablet.

This mini is powered by Apple’s A15 Bionic chip, and it’s still fast enough and big enough for streaming, gaming, and video calls. When you combine this with a keyboard, you can even use it instead of a laptop while you’re traveling.

Leave it to Apple to design headphones so good they’re still popular four years after launch. Apple’s stylish noise-cancellers are back under $400 for Prime Day. Keep in mind this is the version with lightning cable charging.

The new AirPods Max with USB-C charging didn’t get as many upgrades as we were hoping for, though we do like the new color options. They still provide excellent active noise cancellation and rich Dolby Atmos 3D sound. Their battery life leaves quite a bit to be desired, but people buy these headphones for the style points as much as the audio features.

The newest AirPods Pro earbuds have only reached this $169 price point once before, so if you need new Apple buds, this is a smart time to invest in a new pair.

The newest AirPods just launched weeks ago, yet here they are, on sale. For the second half of October Prime Day, the version of the AirPods 4 with ANC got a small, but still-appreciated, discount.

We were crossing our fingers for a Prime Day deal on these cans, but we weren’t expecting a 46% price drop. The previous version of Kim K’s skin-tone headphones were popular among both shoppers and price gougers, but the Studio Pro headphones are still in stock for now.

For video editors, artists, and engineers, the 2023 MacBook Pro has a lot to offer. It has an XDR display and is powered by the M3 chip. When you do need to take it on the go, it has up to 22 hours of battery power.

New for 2024, the latest MacBook Air is also powered by the M3 chip. While it’s not as heavy-duty as the pro, ever since Apple rolled out its M sillicon, the Air has become surprisingly powerful. This is also a best-seller on Amazon, so if you’re a studen or professional in need of a new everyday laptop, don’t overthink it. A $250 discount on a new laptop is pretty convincing.

For students who need to save as much as possible on a new laptop, don’t be afraid to go back in time to the 2022 version of the Air. The M2 chip inside is still plenty powerful, especially compared to other laptops in this price range. Plus, you can get it in the cool Midnight Black colorway, though watch out for fingerprints if you do.

If you’ve got a Mac mini or just need a second monitor, the Apple Studio Display will look stunning on your desktop. This 27″ display provides a 5K resolution, incredible color clarity, and surprisingly good speakers and microphones for a monitor. Its sculptural design and tilting stand make it even more attractive.

This expanded version of Apple’s Magic Keyboard lets you log in with Touch ID and includes arrow keys and a numpad. You can also choose from white or black keys.

This is a staple of Amazon’s shopping events, back again for October Prime Day.

The popular Apple trackpad works great with iPads and Mac Mini computers, but you can also use it with MacBooks.

If you want to use your iPad like a laptop, then you may want a mouse in addition to a keyboard case. Clickety-click.
