At long last, Amazon’s October Prime Day event has begun — and as expected, it’s packed with a slew of notable Apple deals. If you don’t want to wait until Black Friday or Cyber Monday to score a discount, the current promo is a great opportunity to save, as Amazon is offering steep discounts on a variety of last-gen Apple devices. For example, refurbished second-gen AirPods Pro have dropped to a new record low price of $139.99, which is well over $100 off their original price. Meanwhile, the Apple Watch Series 10 is down to $279, matching the low price we saw during July’s four-day Prime Day.
It’s not just older devices on sale, either. Amazon is also offering discounts on accessories for the new iPhone Air, as well as current-gen gadgets like the latest iPad Mini. To make sorting through the deluge of deals a little easier, we’ve rounded up all the best Apple discounts available, along with links to competing retailers who happen to be matching Amazon’s pricing. You may not need to sign up for an Prime membership just to save a few bucks
Earbud and headphone deals
Apple AirPods Pro (second-gen) with USB-C
The second-gen AirPods Pro improve upon Apple’s original pair with better noise cancellation, improved sound quality, and onboard volume controls. They also now ship with a USB-C charging case, as opposed to Lightning. Read our original review.
Where to Buy:
- You can buy a pair of the AirPods 4 on sale for $89 ($30 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and Staples. Apple’s entry-level wireless earbuds offer better sound than their predecessor, with richer bass and much clearer voice quality. The earbuds also feature an upgraded IP54 water and dust resistance rating, deep integration with iOS and other Apple products, and support for spatial audio with head tracking. Read our review.
- Alternatively, you can buy the AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation for around $119 ($60 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and Staples. Like the aforementioned base model, they deliver strong noise cancellation and a solid transparency mode, although they’re still not quite on par with Apple’s Pro models. The step-up ANC model also supports wireless charging and comes with a case that features a built-in speaker, making it easier to locate via Apple’s Find My network. Read our review.
Apple EarPods (USB-C)

AirTags and other miscellaneous deals
Apple AirTag

Where to Buy:
- The Apple Pencil Pro is down to $99 ($30 off) at Amazon, Walmart, and Target, which is $10 shy of its best price to date. Unlike Apple’s entry-level USB-C stylus, the Pro model charges wirelessly and offers other advanced capabilities, including Find My support, pressure sensitivity, and a “Barrel Roll†gyroscope that allows you to adjust the angle of your pen or brush strokes with a simple twist. However, compatibility is limited to the latest iPad Pro, iPad Mini, and M2- or M3-based iPad Air models.
- You can buy the new Apple iPhone Air Case with MagSafe for $37 ($13 off) at Amazon, which marks a new low price. The translucent, MagSafe-compatible case is designed to protect the 6.5-inch Air from drops and scratches with a polycarbonate frame and a new button design to accommodate the volume and side buttons. It’s also compatible with Apple’s Camera Control feature and includes two built-in connection points for attaching Apple’s Crossbody Strap.

- The new Apple iPhone 17 Clear Case with MagSafe is also down to a new low of $37 ($13 off) at Amazon. Like the aforementioned iPhone Air case, it features a polycarbonate frame, room for the volume and side buttons, and support for Apple’s Camera Control feature. However, it’s specifically designed for the 6.3-inch iPhone 17 and won’t fit the smallest (or biggest) iPhone 17 models.
- Twelve South’s PlugBug 50W Charger is on sale for $38.99 ($32 off) at Amazon, which matches its previous best price. The charger comes with two USB-C ports along with Find My support, so you can tabs of the charger, the bag you’ve packed it into, and whatever it’s connected to from your iPhone.
Twelve South HiRise 3 Deluxe
Twelve South’s 3-in-1 charging stand offers full 15W MagSafe iPhone charging and can simultaneously top off a set of AirPods while fast-charging a compatible Apple Watch. It also includes a power supply (with travel adapters) to deliver enough juice over its 5-foot / 1.5m USB cable.
