Amazon is soon to be back with its annual summertime Prime Day event, lasting for four days from July 8-11, the longest Prime Day yet. As it does every year, Prime Day offers shoppers a huge selection of deals across Amazon's storefront, and there are already many deals you can get on sale ahead of the event.

For our coverage, we're focusing on early discounts for Apple and Apple-related products that can be purchased right now on Amazon. As of today, this includes deals on AirPods, Apple Watch, iPad, MacBook Air, and more. We're also sharing deals being matched at retailers like Best Buy in some cases.



As is typical for Prime Day deals, these markdowns are very time sensitive, so sales listed below may disappear fast, and new ones may appear even faster. With this in mind, we'll keep this article updated over the next few days, and keep an eye on the MacRumors front page as we'll be posting particularly great deals in separate articles next week.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, Amazon Prime Day requires you to have an Amazon Prime membership to take advantage of the discounts. Amazon Prime costs $14.99 per month or $139.00 per year, and it comes with a 30-day free trial for new subscribers.

Special for 2025, Amazon is also offering a free six month trial to Prime for Young Adults right now. Prime for Young Adults is a discounted Prime membership for anyone age 18-24 that offers all of the Prime benefits at $69.00 per year, half of the price of regular Prime.

AirPods

Amazon has the USB-C AirPods Max on sale for $479.99 in all colors, down from $549.00. This is an overall second-best price on the headphones. You'll also find an all-time low price on the AirPods 4 for Prime Day.





iPad

Amazon is taking up to $55 off Wi-Fi and cellular models of Apple's 11th generation iPad for Prime Day. Prices start at $299.00 for the 128GB Wi-Fi iPad, down from $349.00, a second-best price on this model.




iPad Mini

Amazon has record low prices on every Wi-Fi model of the iPad mini 7 this weekend, starting at $399.00 for the 128GB Wi-Fi tablet, down from $499.00. You'll also find a few deals on cellular models during this sale.

Compared to past sales, this is a match of the best price we've ever tracked on the tablet, and it's available in all four colors. You can also get the 256GB Wi-Fi iPad mini 7 for $499.00 and the 512GB Wi-Fi iPad mini 7 for $699.00, both $100 discounts and available in all colors.





Deals on cellular models are a bit rarer on Amazon, with two colors of the 128GB cellular iPad mini 7 on sale for $549.00 and a few colors of the 256GB cellular iPad mini 7 on sale for $649.00, both $100 off.

Glad to see I wasn’t disappointed by the comments. Never change, MR, never change.

No, but seriously, why call it “Prime Day” if it’s 4 days? Why does it even need to be 4 days? Perhaps most importantly, why is it just normal for a retailer to make up its own sales out of nothing, and then treat said sale like it’s a federal holiday or something?

I think I’m getting old, because I’m not liking the vibes of this.
 
I'm hoping that for actual Prime Day the APM go down to $450 finally, not $479. I told myself I'd buy them when they hit $450...... not sure why I'm agonizing over those last $29 and not just getting them to enjoy them now lol
 
My AirPods Max Lightning stopped working for no reason at all. I had not had them for that long either. I bought the Bose QuietComfort Ultra and it let me down. They have a little delay of like 0.3 seconds before they start reproducing audio. Also, the stupid bot that whispers the name of your connected device into your ears says "iPhone One Six Pro Max," she can't seem to figure out that it's "iPhone Sixteen Pro Max." Getting them to connect usually takes a few attempts.

The current price, even with the Prime Day discount, of the USB-C AirPods Max still hasn't convinced me to get them. It might be different if they had a ton of improvements over the original. But they don't.
