Prime Day may not be until July 16 and 17, but plenty of Apple deals, some of the best we’ve ever seen, went live this week.

One big reason is that Walmart just kicked their Walmart Deals sale, bringing down the prices on the M1 MacBook and AirPods. Though the sale has ended, not all of Amazon’s competitive pricing has. With Prime Day proper just four days away, we’re only expecting the deals to get better.

As we wait for Amazon’s Prime Day Apple deals to officially go live, we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for more early deals to crop up. Until then, check out some of the best Apple deals ahead of Prime Day 2024:

Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price.

iMac and MacBook deals

Why we like it

Check out our full review of the M2 MacBook Air.

The M2 MacBook Air officially hit its lowest price ever, marking a new lowest entry point for anyone who wants an M2 laptop. Though it’s a couple of years old, this laptop would still make a great companion for anyone who needs a solid work from home machine, complete with its fantastic keyboard, processing power, great display, and portability that makes it easy to take along just about anywhere.

iPad deals

Why we like it

Check out our full review of the M1 iPad Air.

Is this tablet a couple of years old? Yes. Is that why it’s getting this $200 markdown? Probably! We first saw the iPad Air drop to this price at Best Buy a couple of weeks ago, and though it’s shot back up at the retailer, the Walmart Deals sale has brought it back down. An M1-powered tablet is hardly past its prime, still offering plenty of power for gaming and note-taking. While we do wish this iPad offered a little more storage space, at this sale price you’re paying just under $70 more than you would for a discounted A14 Bionic chip-powered iPad with the same amount of storage.

Apple Watch deals

Why we like it

Check out our full review of the Apple Watch Series 9.

What better way to enjoy the exceptional display brightness of the Series 9 than with the largest display you can possibly get? Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder appreciated that this watch introduced Double Tap but wrote in his review that the 2000 nit max brightness and minimum of one nit make this watch incredibly functional to use in the middle of a sunny day, or in the darkness of your room in the early morning. Apple Watches haven’t introduced a ton of exciting upgrades over the years, but we do like that with this sale price, you can grab the 45mm Series 9 for about $70 cheaper than you would the 41mm Series 9 at full price.

AirPods and Apple accessories deals

Why we like it

Check out our full review of the Apple AirPods Max.

To be blunt, we don’t consider the AirPods Max one of the best headphones out there anymore. They’re missing key features, like a power button and a 3.5mm audio jack. But discounted to $399, they’ve finally been brought down to the realm of reasonable pricing. Previously, these headphones lowest price ever was $429, and more often down to $449. In short, we imagine this $151 discount will be one of, if not the best, we see throughout these headphones’ lifespan, especially considering the rumor that Apple will announce new and improved AirPods Maxes later this year.
