Every Apple Deal Worth Shopping Ahead of October Prime Day

Whether you need a new pair of headphones ahead of holiday travel or are determined to get ahead on your holiday shopping this year, Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, the e-tailer’s October version of Prime Day, is here to help you save a few bucks. Although the sale doesn’t officially kick off until October 6, there are already a handful of Apple deals available to shop—and we’re predicting that more deals will arise once Prime Day proper rolls around.

While everything from iPads Apple accessories are up to 40 percent off as part of these pre-October Prime Day sales, perhaps this 22 percent discount on the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is the most compelling early deal to shop now. Although a fitness tracker can be a controversial fashion statement (If it’s good enough for Queen Raina, it should be good enough for you), contributing writer Lauren Hubbard loves not only the wearable’s slew of health and fitness tracking functionality, but how her Apple Watch meshes seamlessly with her existing Apple technology.

Or if you’re in the market for new headphones, both the AirPods Pro 3 and the AirPods Max 2 are modestly discounted right now, although we’re betting these deals will deepen once Prime Day proper begins. Both models are armed with noise cancellation tech and ample battery life, so it’s really a matter of whether you prefer over-ear headphones or earbuds.

And if you’ve been dragging your feet on upgrading your iPad, you can save up to 36 percent right now, depending on which model you choose. MacBooks are only slightly discounted so far, but we’re predicting them to drop further during actual Prime Day. A fresh tablet or laptop will make everything from catching up on your favorite shows to powering through work documents before your PTO officially kicks off so much faster.

Although we’re expecting additional deals to pop up and the existing deals to deepen as October Prime Day draws closer, when it comes to saving on Apple tech, time is always of the essence. When these coveted gadgets go on sale, they tend to sell out quickly.
