You don’t have to wait until Prime Day to get your hands on some of the best deals that Amazon is offering this year. Early-bird deals have been slowly rolling out since the beginning of the month, but their deals on Apple products may be the most anticipated of the savings events, considering that the ubiquitous technology company is infamous for never going on sale in their own stores.
Luckily, Amazon has us covered. They’ve slashed prices on everything from Macbook Airs to iPads and AirPods, with more deals sure to come as the month progresses. As is the case with all Prime Day deals, you have to be an Amazon Prime member to take advantage of the annual savings event. You can sign up for a 30-day free trial now to gain access in time for Prime Day.

The newest Apple AirPods are worth the buy even when not on sale, considering the five hours of music playback and automatic recharging capabilities. If your AirPods are starting to wear out, it may be time for an upgrade. The Pros are known for a longer lifespan, but the most exciting feature is their noice cancelling functionality, which allows you to drown out all exterior audio with a simple touch of the bud. Currently $50 off for a limited time for Prime Day so now’s the time to buy.
