Macworld Prime Day 2025 Live Deal Tracker
The cheapest iPad is really cheap now
Apple makes a lot of iPads, but only one gets an instant recommendation for just about everyone: the standard entry-level iPad. It’s a good deal at its usual sale price, but this Prime Day deal drops it to an instabuy: You can get a 128GB A16 iPad for $279. I’ve used all different iPads over the years, but for my money, this is the one that offers the best combination of features at the best price. It’s got it all: a big screen, great design, long battery life, speedy processor, and years of updates to come.

AirPods Max vs Beats Studio Pro
If you’re looking for noise-cancelling over-ear headphones, you can get the AirPods Max for $429, a cool savings of $120. But I recommend grabbing a pair of Beats Studio Pro for $170 instead. Not only are they cheaper, but you get many of the same features, better battery life, and a lighter design. AirPods Max are nice, but they haven’t been updated in a meaningful way since their 2020 debut.

This M4 MacBook Air is a steal
This isn’t technically a Prime Day sale since it’s been at this price for about a week, but the MacBook Air for $849 is an incredible price for a near-perfect laptop. This model with 16GB of RAM would have cost you $1,299 at the Apple Store just a year ago, and now it has a faster chip and a better webcam. There’s no better mainstream laptop you can get for this price.

The iPad Air is cheaper than ever
We’re used to the iPad Air being on sale, but it’s never been this cheap. The M3 iPad Air, which was released in March, is $120 off in all sizes, storage options, and colors, the first time it’s ever been under $500. We’ll admit that there isn’t much new from the M2 model, but it’s still the sweet spot for nearly every iPad user: Cheaper than the Pro, bigger than the mini, and perfect in every way.
Save $25 on this incredible HomeKit power strip
This Eve Smart Triple Outlet & Power Meter normally costs $100, but today it’s down to $75, an all-time-low. It’s basically the Cadillac of power strips, with three generously spaced power outlets controlled by Siri, easy scheduling, surge protection, overcurrent protection, and overvoltage protection, and the ability to track each outlet’s total power consumption and learn the projected cost so you can shut down anything that’s costing you money. Plus its sleek design looks so great you’ll want to keep it on your desk.

These awesome AirPods Pro foam tips are just $20
These tiny foam tips will help your AirPods Pro stay in your ears for just $20 today. They’re nothing short of life-changing if you have issues, like me, with getting the right fit for Apple’s silicone tips. They very rarely go on sale, so go grab a pair.
Get 4TB of storage for just $265
Need more storage for your Mac? This Samsung drive deal is bonkers, adding 4TB to your Mac or MacBook for $266, a ridiculous savings of $284. It’s tiny enough to take anywhere and fast enough to store anything. Want perspective on how good of a value this is: Apple charges $1,200 to add 4TB to the Mac Studio!

This smart kettle is at an all-time low
If you’re a coffee or tea connoisseur, I can’t recommend this Govee Smart Electric Kettle enough. Down to $54, an all-time low and $10 cheaper than the $64 I paid, it’ll keep your water at a precise temperature, start on a schedule, and shut down instantly, all with your iPhone. Plus its matte-black design will look great on your counter.
Apple dual-port USB-C charger for $20 off
Dual-port USB-C chargers are indispensible and Apple’s is one of the best out there. At $59, it’s a little too high to recommend, but it’s down to $39 right now. Overnights, vacations, wherever you go it’ll keep your devices charged—and you won’t even notice it’s in your bag. Even if you already have one, it can’t hurt to snag a second.

AirPods 4 for $60 off
AirPods 4 with ANC are a fantastic affordable alternative to AirPods Pro, but this deal has us doing a double-take. Amazon knocked them down to just $119 on the first day of Prime Day, a straight-up ridiculous savings of $60. I can’t recommend a better pair of earbuds with active noise cancellation at this price range so go grab a pair.

AirTags are just $17 each
Apple’s AirTags are probably its most underrated product and have saved me from losing my keys more times than I want to remember. Normally $99 for a 4-pack, which is a great price already, you can get them during Prime Day for $68, just $17 per AirTag. You’ll need a keyring holder to attach them to your keys, but they’re cheap too.

AirPods Pro 2 are $100 off for the first time
We know, AirPods Pro 2 are always on sale at Amazon. But they’ve never ever been this low. Amazon is selling the AirPods Pro 2 for just $150, an insane price for a really great set of earbuds. It’s so good, I’m tempted to buy a second pair just to have as a spare.
All-time-low on the black Apple Watch Ultra 2
You can get deals on the Series 10, but the best Apple Watch bargain I’ve found so far is this Apple Watch Ultra 2 for $150 off. This watch has everything you could want, including cellular, and if I didn’t already have an Apple Watch, this is definitely the model I’d buy.
