Get your hands on Apple's best Prime Day deals early, including an iPad that's over 0 off

You'll rarely see Apple discounting its own products, but it's 2024 – there are other ways to get your Apple fix for less, especially with Prime Day in October (October 8-9) around the corner stands. Just days before the savings event, we found some pretty impressive early Prime Day deals from Apple that surprised us – and prices start at just $25.

If you're in the market for a new tablet, the iPad 9th Gen is just $224 – that's the second lowest price ever! AirPods are also fair game, with savings of up to $90 on the standard, Pro, and Max models. One of Apple's most affordable (and useful) releases of all time is the AirTag. Right now you can buy one for $25 (down from $29) or a four-pack for $80 (down from $99). (By the way, did you know AirTags have batteries? When it's time to replace them, snag this tried-and-true 12-pack for just $6.)

If you're looking to snag that piece of Apple technology that's been on your wish list for a while, now is the time to pounce on it. The best Prime Day deals for Apple devices in early October are available to choose from below.

You would find it difficult to go outside not Find someone who rocks these earbuds. They have so much to offer: They're Apple's cheapest AirPods and have over 24 hours of battery life on a single charge. They're not the newest pods on the market (they were released in 2019), but at this price that's not a big problem!

“The best wireless earbuds I've ever had,” wrote one five-star reviewer. “The sound quality is excellent. … Whether I'm listening to my favorite music, answering an important call, or listening to the latest podcast, the sound is always top-notch.”

Over 10,000 Amazon shoppers have purchased these earbuds in the last month, so to say they're popular with customers might be an understatement. They just launched this year and have more features than you'd expect given their tiny package: active noise cancellation, transparency mode, USB-C charging, and a snug, comfortable fit.

“The noise cancellation surprised me,” wrote one shopper. “I have a window air conditioner to cool my office and when I put it on I thought it would turn off. I had to put them in and out of my ear two or three times before I realized that the headphones were eliminating the sound.”

Voted the best headphones for Apple fans by our senior tech writer Rick Broida, they combine style and performance in a unique package (literally) – they come in a special carrying case rather than a case.

“Best headphones ever,” wrote one impressed reviewer. “Had a root canal recently and haven't heard anything (my dentist said it was the first time in his experience). They cancel out the noises I don't want to hear and provide great sound for the music I do want to hear.”

“Battery life is great for note-taking,” one reviewer wrote. “It's super easy to take with you and the space gray color I chose is so elegant and classy. It took me about five minutes to set it up.”

“I never realized how much I needed an iPad until I got this. The mini is so cute and fits in my medium sized handbag. There's nothing it can't do that the newer or bigger ones can't do. Easy to travel.” “Easy to use and powerful,” wrote one fan.

It's also one of our picks for the best Bluetooth trackers on the market.

If you're looking to spend a little more, this Apple Watch is worth the investment. Launched this year, it has an always-on Retina display as well as useful features like ECG apps, a fitness tracker, and more. While this isn't the lowest it's been all year, the current sale price isn't too bad.
