Amazon Launches Prime Day Discounts on AirPods, iPad, MacBook Air, and More

Earlier this week, we started tracking the first Prime Day deals on Apple-related accessories, and now Amazon has also introduced major early deals on Apple products. This includes AirPods, iPads, MacBooks, and more, all available at some of the lowest prices of the year so far. Note: MacRumors is an Amazon affiliate partner. When you click a link and make a purchase, we may receive a small payment to help us keep the site running. As is typical with Prime Day deals, these sales are very time-sensitive, so the sales listed below can disappear quickly and new ones can appear even faster. With this in mind, we’ll keep this article updated throughout the event and keep an eye on the MacRumors homepage as we’ll be posting particularly great deals in separate articles this 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 comes with a 30-day free trial for new subscribers. AirPods The best discount on AirPods so far this Prime Day is on the AirPods Pro 3, available for the record price of $179.00, down from $249.00. We haven’t seen a deal this good since the summer, during the first Prime Day event in June. MacBook Air Amazon is taking $200 off almost all M5 MacBook Air models for Prime Big Deal Days, including the 13-inch and 15-inch models. These are the best prices we’ve seen on the MacBook Air M5 in the wake of Apple’s price increases over the summer. In terms of 13-inch models, Amazon has the 13-inch MacBook Air 16GB/512GB for $1,099.00, down from $1,299.00. This is available in three colors on Amazon and is accompanied by the 16GB/1TB and 24GB/1TB model with a $200 discount as well. For the 15-inch MacBook Air M5 models, prices start with the 16GB/512GB model for $1,299.00, down from $1,499.00. You can also get the 16GB/1TB model for $1,599.00, down from $1,799.00, all at a $200 discount and the best prices we’ve seen in months. Apple Watch Rare deals have arrived on the Apple Watch SE 3 for Prime Big Deal Days, with prices now starting at $199.00 for the 40mm GPS model and rising to $229.00 for the 44mm GPS model. Both are $50 discounts and match record prices on each device. For the Apple Watch Series 12, you can get the 42mm GPS model for $349.99 and the 46mm GPS model for $399.99, both of which are $49 discounts and new all-time low prices. Both models have two colors available at these all-time low prices, and you’ll also find some cell phone options on sale. iPad Air M4 Amazon has multiple discounts on the iPad Air M4 this week, offering up to $149 off these 2026 models. These are still the best prices we’ve seen in the wake of Apple’s summer price hikes, and Best Buy is matching many deals. The new iPad Air features the M4 chip, C1X modem, and N1 networking chip, which provides support for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6. In terms of design, the 2026 models are identical to the 2025 iPad Air tablets, with an edge-to-edge display, slim bezels, and aluminum chassis. 11-inch iPad Air M4 13-inch iPad Air M4 iPad Mini 7 Amazon has low prices on all Wi-Fi models of the iPad mini 7, starting at $499.00 for the 128GB Wi-Fi tablet, down from $599.00.
