25+ best early Prime Day Apple deals 2025: MacBooks, iPads, AirPods
Browse early Prime Day Apple deals on MacBooks, iPads, AirPods and more

Amazon Prime Day 2025 runs from July 8-11, and I expect this year's Prime Day Apple deals to be especially tempting. For bargain shoppers due for a summer tech upgrade or college students and parents seeking back-to-school deals on Apple gear, Prime Day is a can't-miss summer savings event.
I track retail trends and shop deals for a living, and here's what I've learned over the last seven years. Prime Day is one of the best times of year to snag deep discounts on MacBooks, iPads, AirPods, Apple Watch, and more.
In true Amazon fashion, early Prime Day Apple deals are already trickling in. For example, the Apple Watch Series 10 is now on sale for $299 on Amazon. This is its lowest price ever on Amazon and one of the best early Prime Day Apple deals available now. Best Buy mirrors this discount.
Though we didn't get our hands on this latest model, the Apple Watch Series 9earned our Editor's Choice Award for its snappy performance, nifty double-tap gesture, and bright display.
Outside of Amazon's Prime Day sale, you'll also find alternative Prime Day Apple deals happening next month at Best Buy, B&H, and Walmart. In some instances, the best Prime Day Apple deals beat the Apple Education Store's all-year-round discounts.
So if your Apple gear is long overdue for a refresh, Prime Day is your golden ticket to scoring huge savings. Browse today's best early Prime Day Apple deals below and see our Prime Day deals hub for more savings.
