Rare deals await. (Getty)
Even though Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is officially over, whoever’s job it is to turn off the sale prices has been snoozin’, meaning plenty of Apple deals are still hanging around — no, we’re not foolin’. AirPods are still marked down (just not quite as low as yesterday), and you can still save on AirTags and iPads — including the newest model — and MacBook Airs.
If you want to save a little on an Apple wearable, the Series 10 is still worth the investment. It boasts an always-on Retina display and comes with useful features like ECG apps, a fitness tracker and more. And while the Series 11 has just been released, it sports the same processor, same design and nearly all of the same features. In other words, you're getting the bulk of the 2025 Apple Watch here, but at the 2024 discount.
"I upgraded from a Series 5," said this watch wearer. "The battery life is phenomenal, I can literally go two days without charging. When I do have to charge it, it's full in about 30 minutes. The price is on par for the quality. The health sensors are nice. I know I have sleep apnea and never got around to taking care of it. The watch notified me after about a month of use and provides data to bring in to the doctor's office."
Never lose your luggage, purse, car, keys — anything, really — again. Just attach one of these smart tags to the item you want to track, and you'll be alerted to its whereabouts via your phone. The deal on this four-pack brings each tag down to about $16 (they typically retail for $25 to $30 a pop). Grab a few for your, er, forgetful family members...
If you've been holding off on buying AirPods until there's a sale, consider this the time to pounce. At $89, this pair is down to its lowest price yet.
Now, they don't include active noise cancellation like these do, but if it's a high-quality, comfortable listening experience you're after, these earbuds more than deliver. With up to five hours of listening time per charge (and 30 hours of battery life via the charging case), you'll be able to enjoy music, podcasts, audiobooks and more with limited interruption.
(Psst: AirPods Pro 2 are also on rare sale.)
If you're guilty of being a little (or very) forgetful, an AirTag may just be that piece of tech you didn't know you needed. It doesn't feel or look too "techy." In fact, it's completely uncomplicated. Just attach it to whatever you tend to misplace often or need to keep track of, like your wallet, keys or luggage. You'll always know where it is using the "Find My" app on your phone. It's among our picks for the best Bluetooth trackers on the market.
"I use these for everything as a chronic misplacer," a savvy shopper said. "My most recent purchase was for my cat's collar because she hides all over the house. It provides great peace of mind!"
More than 10,000 Amazon shoppers snapped up these earbuds in the past month, so calling them a customer favorite is an understatement (they're sitting comfortably in my ears as I write this). They come with more features than you might expect given the tiny package: active noise cancellation, transparency mode, USB-C charging and a snug, customizable fit.
"The noise cancellation amazed me," said this shopper. "I have a window A/C unit to cool my office, and when I put these in, I thought it turned off. It took me two or three times of taking them in and out of my ear to realize the headphones were eliminating the sound."
Ready for some Apple picking? Yes, we realize it's not fall, but you'll want to pluck this bad boy from the ol' Amazon tree and add it to your cart because it's currently down to its all-time lowest price — and this is the most recent version! As the unofficial Goldilocks of tech (less bulky than a laptop but larger than a smartphone), this tablet keeps you connected on the go or at home, and you can use it for everything from reading books to taking notes to watching videos.
Broida named this the "best overall tablet," owing to its "under-the-hood improvements, including a faster processor, more RAM (4GB instead of 3GB), Bluetooth 5.0 (up from 4.2) and a USB-C charging port."

Not everyone loves silicone ear tips — if you're in that club, these are a feature-filled alternative to Apple's lower-end AirPods, but with their traditional fit.
Think this is just a slightly larger version of your phone? Think again. With a 3:2 aspect ratio compared with the iPhone's 2:1, the iPad mini is much wider and, if you use your tablet to read, it can fit more text and feels more like a book or magazine in your hand.
Speaking of fitting in your hand, it's less cumbersome than a full-size iPad, making it great for travel or slipping into a backpack for your commute.
You might be thinking, "I've got a phone. I've got a laptop. Why do I need a tablet too?" This iPad is a sweet spot between the two, especially for anyone who wants more computing power and screen size than the regular iPad and iPad mini offer.
Need more versatility than the touchscreen and onscreen keyboard? It's compatible with both the wireless Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil (the first version), so writing and drawing are a breeze. Reading and watching videos on the iPad is much more enjoyable than on your phone as well.
This is the lowest price this 2022 Apple MacBook has ever gone on sale for. I repeat: Lowest price ever! The 13-inch laptop contains 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD Storage and a 1080p FaceTime HD Camera. In other words, you can seamlessly watch movies, browse the internet, check your email, store photos and use programs like Apple's Pages and Numbers (or Word and Excel). If you download games or edit a lot of videos, you might need a little more storage, but for most people, it offers a solid amount.
"Love how fast it is, very snappy, and the specs are perfect for my heavy home office use," said one loyal Apple user who had their last MacBook for over 11 years. "Setup was a breeze from an iCloud backup. Have used it on multiple Zoom and Teams video meetings and the new camera and speakers work awesome for this purpose."
Need a new Apple Watch? The SE is $50 off. It offers 18 hours of battery life, and you can use it to count steps, track workouts, send texts, detect falls and more. It will alert you if your heart rate is low, high or irregular and send you a notification when your cardio is low for the day (time to get moving!).
"Its sleek, lightweight design makes it easy to wear all day," said one shopper. "The interface is intuitive, and navigating apps and features is a breeze. Since I’ve had it, I honestly can't imagine going without it. It keeps me connected, tracks my fitness, and helps me stay organized easily."
This souped-up smartwatch has a titanium case and comes with different colored loop bands (depending on which option you choose). It has a larger face than standard Apple Watches and functions as a fitness tracker, GPS and more. The best upgrade for me is battery life. You'll get up to 36 hours, 72 if you're in low battery mode.
"Not only is this thing a beast with battery life, [but] I am finding more features that I didn't even know it had," a shopper marveled.
Looking for the best of the best? Speaking as someone who has used one every workday for the past 13 years, a MacBook Pro is likely exactly what you're looking for. This one was released just a few months ago and comes with some of the latest features, like Apple Intelligence and the advanced M4 chip. It also has a 14.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display, one of the crispest in the entire MacBook lineup.
"This laptop will last a decade. The battery lasts forever. I do mild development work for my job, and this laptop is capable of handling all the Python code without issue," said this snake handler. "This is perfect for students, professionals and more."
If you use your iPad for taking notes, annotating, studying or drawing, you need an Apple Pencil — especially while it's almost $40 off for Prime Day. This one works with the iPad Pro, iPad Air and iPad Mini models, all of which are also on sale. Currently, it's just $10 shy of its lowest price ever.
"Compatibility is a breeze. It attached magnetically to the iPad," one of over 80,000 five-star reviewers wrote. "Battery life is long and [it] recharges as soon as it connects to the iPad."
If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)
