In the meantime, here are some of the best Apple deals to take advantage of in the lead-up to Prime Day 2022.
AirPods Pro
The AirPods Pro offer that awesome AirPods experience, with features like Automatic Switching, Spatial Audio, and more. And, they add a few extra features, like noise cancellation, which makes them an excellent pair of headphones for all different situations. They’re probably the best pair of truly wireless earbuds for Apple users, and while they’re a little pricey, they’re currently available at a discount.

Apple Watch SE
The Apple Watch is the perfect iPhone companion for those who want to better track their health and fitness, and quickly and get quick information at a glance. The higher-end Apple Watches can be a little expensive, but the Apple Watch SE is Apple’s budget option — and right now, it’s available for even less. This particular model supports cellular too, so you can get calls and texts to your device even when you don’t have your iPhone with you.
iPad
The iPad is the perfect way to get that big-screen experience for things like browsing social media, checking emails, and watchin videos. If you just plan on using your iPad for entertainement and web-browsing, you don’t necessarily need anything expensive — and right now, the entry-level iPad is available at a discount.
iPad Air
If you do want a higher-end iPad, then the iPad Air is absolutely the way to go. The iPad Air offers a more modern design, that incredible M1 performance, and it comes in a range of fun colors. It’s probably the best tablet out there right now, when you consider how much cheaper it is than the only slightly better iPad Pro.
