The 9 Best Pre-Prime Day Apple Deals, According to Our Shopping Experts

Amazon Prime Day is imminent. We don’t know exactly when Jeff Bezos will take a break from his weird Forever Clock project in the West Texas desert to announce that you get to save a few hundred on a new MacBook, but we imagine it’ll happen sometime this summer. Prime Day is about as solidified as Black Friday at this point.

But why wait? Amazon is already slashing prices, and our deal-hunting experts have found them. Here we’re specifically talking about Apple products. When the big day rolls around, we doubt we’ll see deals much better than 31 percent off AirPods, 25 percent off Apple Watches, or $150 off MacBooks. There’s nowhere better to buy Apple products than Amazon, and there’s rarely prices better than what we’re seeing right now.

If you’re not all that interested in the current Apple deals on Amazon, you can wait for Prime Day to officially kick off. Or, you shop some deals we like even more, like HOKA’s big sale on hiking shoes or REI’s summer sale. You could also book an REI Adventure to Big Bend National Park, one of the best parks in America. It’s only a few hours drive from the launch facility of Jeff Bezos’s private aerospace company. You might even catch a rocket launch if you look North. Because whether you shop these pre-Prime Day Deals, shop the real Prime Day deals, or “boycott” Prime Day all together, just know this, reader: Jeff Bezos is going to win. Either through Amazon Prime sales or government aerospace contracts. You might as well get a discounted Apple Watch out of the deal.
