On the tablet side, there are some pretty big discounts on the new line of iPad Pro devices. These are designed to be Apple’s flagship tablets, and they’re able to act as both creative displays that you can edit high-resolution videos and photos on, mix music, or even play a select number of high-profile games on like Resident Evil Village or Assassin’s Creed Mirage. The 11-inch 512GB model is $1,049, and if you need a bigger screen, the 13-inch model is $1,349. You’ll need to click the coupons on the respective pages to get these discounts.
If you’re looking to get an iPad for more general use, there are also some deals on older models. For general browsing and bedtime Netflix, there’s the 2021 base iPad for $258, while the sixth-generation iPad Mini with 64GB of storage capacity will cost you $350. In the Macbook department, Amazon is offering the 2024 MacBook Air for $1,044. This is a pretty powerful laptop, as it has a 15-inch liquid retina display, a powerful M3 chip, and 256GB of storage capacity, making it a solid workhorse to lug around. For something a bit more compact, there’s a 13-inch version for $849.
Pairing these with headsets is also a good idea, especially if you’re sticking with Apple so that you can take advantage of extra features. The standout deal here are the AirPods Pro 2 wireless earbuds for $168 (was $250), as these little titans provide exceptional active noise-canceling, dynamic sound, and a USB-C connection for fast-charging. You can also check out the premium AirPods Max for a deluxe experience, as the USB-C model is $499 for Prime Day. If you don’t mind a Lightning connection, you can save even more and get a set of these elegant cans for $395.
Artists can also benefit from Prime Day, as the Apple Pencils are on sale. You’ll want to check the compatibility of each model before you decide on a price, but if you’re looking to explore the world of digital art, these are game-changers. You’ll be amazed at what you can create on an iPad with an app like Procreate or Adobe Fresco, and these stylus devices feel very comfortable to use. The first-generation Apple Pencil is a little dated but can still work just fine on older iPads, while the second-generation model is ergonomically superb to use.
The Apple Pencil Pro is the best of the bunch, as it offers an impressive number of gesture-based controls and haptic feedback features. Finally, you can pick up an Apple Studio Display for $2,000. Admittedly this is very expensive, but this is a pretty big price drop and these displays are popular with creative professionals due to their high-quality design and rich selection of colors. This model also has a nano-texture glass to help reduce glare in brightly lit environments. Be sure to sign up for Prime to take part in all the savings.
