You don’t have to be a diehard Apple fan to know that deals from the brand don’t come around all that often. While it’s still possible to find some Apple sales throughout the year, your best bet for scoring the biggest savings is striking when the shopping holiday iron is hot.
Usually, that would be in July for Amazon Prime Day or in November for Cyber Week, but this year, Amazon threw us a curve ball — the Prime Early Access Sale. The PEAS is a two-day event running from Oct. 11 to Oct. 12, bringing exclusive savings for Prime members, meaning that if you have a Prime account. It is essentially a second Prime Day, and a chance to snag discounted Apple tech before the holiday rush kicks into high gear.
Though we’re still a week out from the official start date, Amazon likes to get ahead of itself, so the deals are already rolling in. So you don’t have to sift through them on your own, we’ve rounded up the deals that are actually noteworthy (i.e. the iPads and MacBooks that have been sitting at the same « sale » price for the past four months won’t be on this list). Check back often, as we’ll be keeping track as pricing and availability changes, all the way through the event.
We’re updating this page constantly, so check back often. All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a strikeout were either sold out or no longer available at their sale price when we last looked. Anything marked with a 🔥 has dropped to an all-time low price.
Mac and MacBook deals
Why we like it
When the 256GB M2 MacBook Pro dropped $200 on Amazon earlier this year, it sold out quick. The same could very well happen with the 512GB model, which at $200 off, is the same price as buying the 256GB at full price. Basically, you could get an M2 chip (which is 40% faster than the M1 chip) and double the storage space for free with this deal. And if you’re someone who wants to take advantage of the Pro’s power, we can almost guarantee the extra built-in space will come in handy.

iPad deals
Why we like it
Read our full review of the 2022 iPad Air.
The iPad Air brings « all the key features of the iPad Pro, for less money, » as Mashable senior editor Stan Schroeder wrote in his review. That’s thanks to the M1 chip, the exact same chip found in the Pro (and the 2020 MacBook Pro). It also has 8GB of RAM, a sleek design with plenty of color options, and a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display. Only those looking for more storage should consider the Pro, but for $559, the Air is hard to beat.

Apple Watch deals
Why we like it
The latest Apple Watch SE, released just last month, is experiencing its first price drop. Sure, it’s not huge, but the starting price for the second-gen SE is $30 cheaper than what the first-gen started at. Plus, the new entry-level Apple Watch comes loaded with the S8 SiP (the same processor found in the new Series 8 watch), plus crash detection and more support for workout metrics.

AirPods deals
Why we like it
Read our full review of the AirPods Pro (second gen).
Yes, $10 isn’t a huge sale, but it is the first discount on the brand new second generation AirPods Pro. Though they may not look all that updated, the improved noise cancellation and battery life makes them worth opting for if you’ve yet to get yourself a pair of Pro buds.
