Amazon’s annual Prime Day is a massive sales event where most anything on the website goes for steep discounts. From clothing and kitchen accessories to musical instruments and vehicle parts, it's the time to be on the lookout for items you’ve always wanted.
One of the big-ticket companies involved is Apple, putting some of its most sought-after tech gadgets on sale. Apple’s products are notoriously expensive, so grabbing a new set of earbuds, a wireless Mac keyboard or an iPhone cover can save you a few bucks.

The first Amazon Prime Day took place in 2015, and since then, shoppers have been spending millions of dollars each year scooping up some of the best deals. Last year, more than 300 million items were sold, and by some estimates, it saved Amazon Prime members a collective $1.7 billion. The total value of all products sold over last year’s two-day event was $12 billion.
It’s no regular day for Amazon by any stretch of the imagination, meaning if you want to get some Apple products and accessories, the last thing you need is to see “insufficient funds” when trying to buy something. Amazon hasn’t announced the dates for 2023 yet, but it’s a safe bet to assume that it will be at the end of June or early July — so start putting money away now.
Apple 2020 MacBook Air Laptop M1
With a battery life of almost 18 hours and a powerful M1 chip, this MacBook Air is a workhorse for anybody who isn’t office-bound. It has a 13.3-inch Retina display, 8GB of unified memory and is compatible with various productivity apps such as Adobe Creative Cloud, Microsoft 365 and Google Drive. It might not be the latest MacBook Air, but it's an excellent value when it goes on sale during Prime Day at a steep discount.

Apple 2021 14-Inch MacBook Pro
The MacBook Pro is the pinnacle of Apple’s laptop offerings, and it’s extra valuable when you pick it up at a discount. This model has a 14-inch Liquid Retina XDR display, the Apple M1 Max chip and 512GB of internal storage. The 10-core central processing unit is three times faster than previous MacBook Pro models, and the 64GB memory is more than enough for resource-intensive tasks. The battery lasts about 17 hours, the bezel has a 1080p FaceTime HD camera built-in and there's a six-speaker sound system with force-canceling woofers to reduce distortion.

Apple Wireless Charging Case for AirPods
Apple accessories are usually not in short supply when it comes to Prime Day discounts, making it an opportune moment to grab yourself a wireless charging case that keeps your AirPods charged at all times. It’s worth getting even if you already have one, as you can keep the extra case in your vehicle. It's compatible with Qi charging pads, has an LED indicator on the front to see the charging status and can also be charged with a cable through the Lightning port at the back.
