The Apple Watch SE It’s the budget model of the line, now down to $170. It has been selling for $189 for the past few months. We recommend it for people looking for better integration with iPhone notifications and solid health tracking capabilities.

The Apple Watch Ultra 2 It’s on sale for Prime Day for $699.99 instead of Apple’s $799 list price.

The Third generation AirPods Now down to $120 from the full $169 price. Thanks to the improved design and audio, we gave these an 88 in our review. Note that they have an older chip and no active noise cancellation, but they are water-resistant and cheaper than the Pro model.

Apple’s over-ear headphones, the AirPods Max Currently $394, down from their list price of $549. The lowest price we’ve tracked before is $430. These scored an 84 in our review when they came out in 2020.

The main caveat is price. As promised by Apple, we got 20 hours of use from the headphones on a single charge.

The 13 inch model It’s down to $1,198 instead of the full $1,299 sticker with the same capability. Before this, the biggest discounts we’ve seen were $70 and $100 on the two models, respectively. We were impressed by the iPad Pro’s stunning screen and screamingly powerful performance, as you can see in our review, but called it “prohibitively expensive.” This discount can change things a bit.

The lowest price we tracked during last year’s sale was $380 and the list price was $499.

Apple’s vast Find My network taps into Apple’s vast Find My network to locate missing items, anonymously pinging nearby iPhones and triangulating the location. Currently going for $24 a tag instead of the $29 list price, this is one of the best Prime Day deals under $25 this year.

We gave the Apple Studio Monitor a score of 80 in our 2022 review because of its build quality, good audio, and bright and accurate screen. It only had a 60Hz refresh rate (which is pretty low these days) and the webcam was sluggish. But if you’re an Apple devotee, you’ll find a lot to appreciate with its 27-inch, 2,880p display that supports 1 billion colors on its 5K LCD monitor. It can deliver 96W of charge to your MacBook as well as a desktop.
