If you’re shopping for some new Apple gadgets this Prime Day, your timing couldn’t be better: Today, Apple raised some of its prices because of the global RAM shortage. AirPods and Apple Watches are unaffected (for now), but all MacBooks and iPads are now at least $100 more expensive than they were yesterday — even the budget MacBook Neo.

Here’s the good news: The price changes haven’t gone into effect on Amazon yet, only in the Apple Store. So, procrastinate at your own risk. For now, you can still shop Prime Day deals on Apple Watches, AirPods, iPads, and MacBooks. That includes a record-low price on the M4 iPad Air. (It’s only $519 on Amazon right now, down from $599, but the Apple Store is charging $749.)

We’ll continue to monitor Amazon’s best Prime Day Apple deals through the end of the week, and we’ll make note if/when Amazon adjusts Apple products’ MSRPs. For now, the deals we’ve gathered reflect MacBooks and iPads’ original launch prices (before today’s increase).

We’re also checking prices at other major retailers like Best Buy and Walmart to make sure you’re truly getting the lowest prices available. If they manage to beat one of Amazon’s Prime Day Apple deals, we’ll note that and link to the competition.

Note: Products marked with a 🔥 are at their lowest-ever price. Deals marked with a strikethrough weren’t available at the time of writing, but could return later this week.

Apple’s stylish over-ear headphones were updated in April with the H2 chip, bringing better noise cancellation and support for software features like Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, and Live Translation. This Prime Day, Amazon has them marked down to just $399 — a 27% savings and their lowest price ever (by a lot). This is a shockingly good deal, considering the original AirPods Max took several years to hit the same price. Only Walmart’s managed to match it so far.

The Apple Watch Series 11 has a new record-low price for Prime Day. Amazon marked it down to just $279, which is 30% off its usual $399 MSRP. (It was $20 more expensive during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale a couple of months ago.) Apple’s latest flagship wearable supports features like hypertension notifications and Sleep Score. Compared to its predecessor, it has a more scratch-resistant display and a longer battery life. Choose from four different case and band combinations, including one with the new space gray finish.

The M4 iPad Air is our favorite Apple tablet for most people, especially artists and other creatives, combining a beautiful design with laptop-level performance at a reasonable price. Right now, it’s more reasonable than usual: The 11-inch base model with 128GB of storage has fallen to a record low of $519 for Prime Day, which is 13% off its current sticker price on Amazon. (Pick up an on-sale Apple Pencil or Magic Keyboard while you’re at it, too.) If it sells out on Amazon, you can score the same deal at Best Buy.

Will soon cost $1,299.

If you need a new laptop that’s sleek, portable, and powerful, the MacBook Air is sooo easy to recommend. Its thin all-aluminum design (available in four colors) features a haptic touchpad, a 12MP webcam, and a punchy Liquid Retina display. Its M5 chip makes it faster than most Windows laptops in just about any scenario. The 13-inch base model currently costs $1,099 on Amazon, but it’s down to $949 for Prime Day. It’s now $50 away from its record-low price from Memorial Day. You’ll find the same deal at Best Buy this week.

Best Prime Day AirTag deal

$89

Here’s our first-ever discount on the second-generation AirTag, Apple’s recently updated Bluetooth tracker. It doesn’t look any different from the original version that launched in 2021, but it has a louder speaker and a much wider range. Grab an $89 four-pack for the best value (normally $99) — that works out to $22.25 per AirTag. If you only need one or two, you’ll pay $24 for them individually during Prime Day (typically $29). Best Buy and Walmart were matching both of those deals, FYI.
