Shop the 17 best Apple deals on Amazon ahead of Prime Day: AirPods, MacBooks, more

Must read

Once, decades ago, Apple was sued by a little company called Apple Corps, which keen-eared readers might remember as the conglomerate that formed none other than the Beatles in 1968.

It’s a testament to the former Apple’s dominance that now, when customers think of Apple, one of the biggest bands of all time is all but erased, replaced by sleek, easy-to-use, and (as of this week), attractively-priced electronics.

Hungry for a bite? This week, ahead of Amazon’s biggest sale of the year, Prime Day, we rounded up the best Apple deals that you can pick out early. Even before next Tuesday, July 16 and Wednesday, July 17, you can find some of the best deals on AirPods, MacBooks, and more offered all year long.

Use the links below to navigate to your preferred section, or simply scroll to take in all of the early Prime Day Apple deals that Amazon has to offer.
