Score Prime Day savings on some of Apple's most popular devices, including AirPods, iPads and Beats headphones.

본문

Apple rarely discounts its products directly, which is why Amazon Prime Day is one of the best times of the year to buy. With the sale now underway, shoppers can find significant savings on popular Apple devices, including MacBooks, iPads, AirPods and Apple Watches. While Apple products continue to earn high marks for their performance, premium designs and years of software support, their prices can be hard to justify without a discount. That's where Prime Day comes in.

Amazon is leading the charge with some of the lowest prices we've seen this year, but it is not the only retailer getting in on the action. Best Buy and Walmart are also offering competitive discounts on a wide range of Apple gear, giving shoppers multiple opportunities to score a deal. To help you find the offers that are actually worth your money, CNET's shopping experts are tracking the best Apple discounts across the web. We'll continue updating this list throughout Prime Day as prices change and new deals appear, so check back often for the latest savings.

Does Apple offer Prime Day sales?

It's important to note that while the Apple Store doesn't run sales for the June Prime Day (and rarely offers discounts outside of educational promos), deals on Apple devices and accessories can be found from authorized retailers, including Amazon.

The best deals typically accompany major events, such as a major holiday, some of which are approaching. There are plenty of retailers offering discounted Apple products, including Best Buy and Walmart, making it an excellent time to shop for Apple devices. If you're looking to spend less, try forgoing the latest releases. You'll find bigger discounts on previous-generation models or refurbished devices.

How does CNET select the best Prime Day deals?

Our team of expert shoppers and deal hunters has spent years helping buyers understand which major sales and deals are legitimately good and which are more routine. That includes Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day and countless other shopping events. We've become good at weeding out scams and superficial deals on tech of every kind, so you see only the best offers, including Apple deals. 

At CNET, we look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time when choosing a deal to show you. 

• Real discounts mean exactly that. We review the price history for that product to ensure that no manufacturers are inflating prices to make the discount appear more substantial than it actually is.
• Quality reviews are important for any product, but especially for deeply discounted items. Upgrading your tech can be a big investment, and the discount won't be worthwhile if you don't get enough mileage out of it. 
• Remaining sale time is a huge part of our vetting process. If a deal is likely short-lived or limited to remaining stock, we'll let you know upfront -- so you're not disappointed if you check back later and find it's gone.
