Amazon Prime Day is coming to a close later today, so we're quickly recapping all of the best Apple deals that are still live on Amazon right now. Since many of these products have been on sale for a few days, shipping may be delayed, but they're all at some of the lowest prices we've ever seen.

You will need an active Amazon Prime subscription to see these deals. You can get one month of Amazon Prime for free when signing up this week, and afterwards the service will renew at $14.99 per month or $139 per year.

Apple Watch

Prime Day kicked off with stellar deals on both the Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Series 8, but as the event went along the Apple Watch SE sales disappeared. Fortunately, all-time low prices remain available on both 41mm and 45mm GPS Apple Watch Series 8 models.

MacBook Air

Apple's M1 MacBook Air was the first device to get a discount this Prime Day, and it remains one of the best deals around this week at $249 off. This beats the previous record low price by about $50, and it's still available in all three colors.

iPads

Perhaps the Apple product with the most abundant deals this Prime Day, we tracked numerous iPad discounts over the past few days. Many of these are still live, with all-time low prices on the 9th Gen iPad (from $249.99), iPad mini 6 (from $379.99), and iPad Air (from $499.99).

Only the 10th Gen iPad has seen a sale expire so far, with the 256GB Wi-Fi tablet now the only one available at an all-time low price of $529.99.




AirPods

Amazon provided solid markdowns on a few AirPods this Prime Day. The AirPods Pro 2 remain at their consistent sale price of $199.00 ($50 off) and the AirPods 2 have hit $89.99 ($39 off). These were $10 cheaper yesterday, and they may return to that price before the day ends, but for now this is a good second-best price.

Anker

Lastly, we have an Apple-related sale going on today, with Anker offering several great markdowns across its best charging accessories. You can save on USB-C chargers, portable batteries, Bluetooth trackers, and more.

I've been looking at the anker powerhouse units lately.
I know for a hard fact, that the 767 is NOT $2199. it's been $1999 for a while, and recently (before Prime Sale) was discounted to $1599, a $400 off.. but, for "Prime" they claim a $600 off, or -27%.. The problem is, this was not $2199!!!

I'm not sure if that is Anker playing that game, or Apple.. but, WTF!!

There are other Anker products lie that also, where there is a "higher discount" but also, the "Base Price" was boosted.

I just happen to know all this cause I've been in the market for these specific items for a while. I own a 757, and I recently purchased a 767. Fortunately, the price I got it at is still the 'best' price, but, i'm just saying that the "Steep discount" they claim is not so steep after all.

Consumer beware!! I have to wonder what other "prime day deals" have a mark-up to make a better looking 'mark-down'

Any deals on Macbook Air M2 13"? Looking to get one for my wife. I'd consider the M1 but am wondering what the support length (MacOS) will be for it?

Im not sure what you mean by "support". Run the latest and greatest OS? I mean, not really necessary, plenty of peeps still running last OS, I run catalina.

Montery ran on everything back to 2013. Ventura is 2017. Id imagine with M chips, long time. They still sell M1 macs new at apple.

FWIW, base M2 MBAs are $930 several places, or even refurb from Apple (= new) Paid $850 for our M1 MBAs 2 years ago.

Studio Display is $1350 refurb... still not the #1299 at amazon from Feb?

If you shop in the Apple Education store you will find the M2 MBA for $100 off and it comes with a $150 gift card. Brings the effective price down to $849. You have to use the gift card on a future purchase. Just bought one today. I would also be concerned about the support down the road for the M1 MBA.

Definitely fair and solid points about where they choose to set the "base price" for the percentage discount. Another situation I know this happens is clearance or liquidation sales. The huge, "everything must go" deep discount percentage off sales are often based on their MSRP rather than the everyday pricing. In reality, the claimed 60% off a thing may actually be more like 15% off if you consider how much they normally sell it for.

One correction is that Apple has nothing to do with it. But whether Anker or Amazon is setting these prices, I'm not sure.

I still dont know what "support" means or even "down the road".

Support = run the latest MacOS? 6+ years.
Down the road = 1 year? 5? 10? 20?

I could fire up my 2010 27" iMac and it still runs quick. 2.93 i7, 1 TB SSD, 32 GB ram, real GPU. Biggest bummer is no USB 3.

M1 launched Nov 2020. M2 launched June 2022. I agree that Macs run well for a long time, but the M2 will likely run well longer than the M1. The M2 machine also has a bit larger display, a 1080p camera, Touch ID, and a better power connector.

Technically they stopped selling M1 equipped Macs in.... they havent yet.

M1 iMacs are still available.

In the past, OS support was discontinued on Intel chipped macs often based on their GPU. Since M1 and M2 chips are nearly *identical* -- support should laost the same

Too many of us still think in the past, in "intel mode" -- M chips are not Intel, and whatever Intel did isnt the same.
