It is the final hours of October Prime Day (technically called Prime Big Deal Days) and there are still discounts on a number of Apple products, exclusive to Prime members. Some of the best deals include <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Apple-Cancellation-Translation-Headphones-High-Fidelity/dp/B0FQFB8FMG?tag=pbdd26appledeals2rcna601479-20″ rel=”nofollow noopener” target=”_blank”>AirPods Pro 3 for $70 off and the Apple Watch SE for $50 off.
I frequently cover shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday as a commerce editor for NBC Selected, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. I spent days combing through tons of discounts to find the best Prime Day Apple deals — each one I recommend below is highly rated and 20% off or more, as well as at its lowest price in at least three months.
I’ll frequently update this list throughout Amazon Prime Day, so come back to check for new additions.

The best Prime Day Apple deals
AirPods Pro 3 are comfortable to wear and have great noise-canceling and transparency modes, call quality and battery life. The buds also have advanced on-ear controls, including swiping on each ear stem to adjust volume. They come with five ear-tip sizes, which is more than most brands, so you get the most comfortable fit. Paired with a newer iPhone, Live Translation lets you hold a conversation across languages, with the translation played right in your ears. They also double as a hearing health tool: you can take a hearing test at home, use them as an FDA-authorized hearing aid and turn on hearing protection to cut down on loud environmental noise.
Apple’s over ear headphones have excellent sound quality, active noise cancellation, transparency mode to tune in to your surroundings and crisp call quality thanks to personalized spatial audio. Several colors are on sale, including Starlight and orange.
TheApple Watch SE offers accurate health, sleep and fitness tracking, an always-on screen and easy pairing and syncing with your iPhone. It runs on the same S10 chip as Apple’s pricier Series 11 and Ultra 3, so it feels fast and supports handy extras like double tap and wrist flick gestures. The SE 3 also adds wrist temperature sensing, a nightly sleep score and sleep apnea notifications. It also offers fast charging, giving you about eight hours of use from a 15-minute top-up.
The Apple Pencil Pro acts more like a real pencil than other models, making it a better fit for artists and serious note takers. That’s because it has extra features like double-tap and squeeze functions, pressure sensitivity and more. It’s compatible with the iPad Air, iPad Pro and latest iPad Mini.
Compatible with a 10th-generation iPad, this keyboard and stand turns your tablet into a laptop-style workstation. It has comfortable laptop-style keys , a click-anywhere trackpad, and a 14-key function row. The two-piece magnetic folio offers front and back protection, a detachable keyboard, and an adjustable stand for flexible viewing angles.
Apple’s Magic Mouse is a sleek, wireless mouse built for Mac users. Its smooth multi-touch surface lets you scroll through documents and swipe between web pages with simple finger gestures, no scroll wheel required. It pairs automatically with your Mac right out of the box and runs for roughly a month or longer on a single charge. A USB-C cable is included for pairing and recharging.
I bought this iPad Mini for my 5-year-old to use on a long flight, but I’ve since adopted it as my own. At 8.3 inches, it’s easy to hold, and I use it to read at night, watch shows and check emails. While it’s not quite 20 percent off, it’s still a decent deal since Apple rarely holds iPad sales.
The smooth matte exterior of this iPhone 16 phone case is comfortable to hold, while a microfiber lining cushions the inside. Raised edges guard against scratches and drops, built-in magnets snap onto MagSafe chargers for effortless wireless charging, and a sapphire crystal button lets you operate the camera on your phone without ever touching the screen.
The Apple Magic Keyboard is a slim, wireless keyboard that makes typing feel smooth and accurate. It connects to your Mac on its own, with no setup needed. The built-in battery runs for roughly a month on one charge and tops up with a USB-C cable. Its compact size also saves desk space. Though this keyboard is only 19 percent off, I included it because Apple products rarely go on sale, so I still consider this a worthwhile deal.
Best Prime Day Beats deals
Beats are also on sale, and these over-ear headphones pair easily with Apple devices and have super long battery life (up to 40 hours). They connect wirelessly over Bluetooth or over a wired connection using the included cables, which increases sound quality in certain apps. Plus they have noise canceling and transparency modes.
The large ear hook shape keeps these earbuds locked in place, so your listening isn’t interrupted when you’re running or doing any other high impact workout. The buds themselves have active noise cancellation and transparency modes, which help cut down background noise at the gym, on a flight or at home.
These on-ear headphones last up to 50 hours on a single charge, far more than AirPods. Plus, 10 minutes of charging time gets you up to five hours of listening time. Like the Beats Studio Pro, they connect wirelessly but can also be plugged in with the included USB-C cable for more detailed audio quality in supported apps. They don’t have noise-canceling or transparency modes, though.
This pack includes two 5-foot USB-C to USB-C cables with a tangle-free, reinforced braided design that resists fraying. They support 60-watt fast charging, syncing, audio, CarPlay, and USB 2.0 data transfer. Compatible with USB-C Apple and Android devices, they’re built to withstand daily use.

Why are these October Prime Day Apple deals worth it?

I evaluated the quality of these deals by running them through price trackers like CamelCamelCamel, and I only included those that:
