The final day of Prime Big Deal Days is here. During the sale, which is exclusive to Prime members, you can find discounts on Apple products, travel, beauty, other tech products and more.
As a writer for NBC Select, I frequently cover shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. I spent weeks combing through thousands of discounts to find the best October Prime Day Apple deals, whether its the AirPods Pro 2 or Apple AirPods Max. Each Apple product I recommend below is highly rated, at least 20% off, and at its lowest price in at least three months. I’ll frequently update this list throughout Prime Big Deal Days.
