Amazon Prime Day 2021 runs from June 21-22 this year, which means not much time is left before a huge wave of deals goes live, both at Amazon and competing retailers. Apple deals are always a big point of interest, with shoppers looking out for steep discounts on the company’s premium products, from iPhones to iMacs, tablets, smartwatches, and more. If last year is any indication, Prime Day 2021 will bring plenty of markdowns on iOS devices, whether you’re looking to pick up some AirPods, the Apple Watch, or a new MacBook. And ahead of Prime Day, some Apple devices have already started to receive discounts.
In 2020, Prime Day Apple deals included $50 off the AirPods Pro, big discounts on iPad and iPad Mini devices, and deals on the Apple Watch Series 5. This year, we’ve already seen a few device discounts on the 2020 M1-powered MacBook Air, Apple AirPods Max, the pricey over-the-ear headphones from Apple, as well as the in-ear Apple AirPods Pro.

The first generation of laptops to use Apple’s new M1 silicon chip promises up to 18 hours of battery life, an 8-core CPU for faster performance, and an SSD for quick loading. While the M1 is a big upgrade from previous Intel-based MacBooks, the starting price of $1,000 has remained from those older models, and this price shaves another $50 off.
The M1 MacBook Pro is a step up from the Air, offering slightly better battery life and the Touch Bar feature alongside the other M1 improvements. The Touch Bar allows you to use contextual touch keys across the top row of the keyboard. While it’s pricier, the discount is a step up too at $150 off.
Snag Apple’s latest iPad Pro for $100 off for Prime Day, its first discount since launch. The new iPad Pro comes equipped with Apple’s powerful M1 chip, a 12.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR display for high brightness and contrast, an ultrawide camera, and gives you a super-fast connection with Wi-Fi 6 and 5G.
