Early Prime Day Mac and MacBook deals

Read our full review of the 2022 MacBook Air.
The M2 MacBook Air is portable, practical, and powerful. At $949, it doesn't require you to pay a huge premium for zippy M2 power that'll get you through everyday tasks without a hitch. Although we wish it was down to the all-time low of $899 it's been sitting at for the past couple of weeks, $50 away from that (and sub-$1,000) isn't a bad deal either. If you've been struggling with an older MacBook for a while and need to upgrade ASAP, this laptop is your best bet for a day-to-day computer.

Read our full review of the iPad Air.
Everyone is marking this tablet back down to its lowest price ever ahead of Prime Day, and we're not mad about it. Even at its full price, the iPad Air is by far the most affordable price point for M1 power. It's a great pick for casual users who want a little more processing power (and second-generation Apple Pencil compatibility), as well as professional users who don't quite need the spec-heavy iPad Pro. At $500, this isn't necessarily a rare deal, but it's still a solid one — get it at Amazon, Best Buy, or Target.

Early Prime Day Apple Watch deals
Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Our pick: Apple Watch Series 8 (41mm, GPS) 🔥 $224.99 at Target and Amazon (save $174.01) Get DealWhy we like it
The new Series 9 is out, but it's not all that different from the previous gen Apple Watch (especially since Double Tap isn't a useable feature on the watch until sometime this month). If you're really looking to save some money, the Series 8 has already hit its absolute lowest price ever at the very start of Prime Day season, at a whopping $174 discount. Target Circle members can grab it for just $225 in PRODUCT(RED) or silver, and those who prefer Amazon can snag it in the small/medium band size in (PRODUCT)RED when you clip the on-page coupon.

Early Prime Day AirPods deals

Read our full review of the second generation AirPods Pro.
$199 is the exact low price these earbuds hit during July's Prime Day. These noise-canceling buds are often down to this discount, while occasionally popping back up to the $220 range every few weeks. At this price, they aren't a jump-now-and-get item, but they are some of our favorite earbuds out there, so you wouldn't necessarily regret grabbing them either. If you're looking to save the most money possible, try to hold out a little longer for an official Prime Day 2 price drop.
