'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.
The 36 best Prime Day Apple deals still available
This year's Amazon Prime Day brought Prime members (and those who sign up for a free trial) deals on a wide range of tech products, including some rare Apple discounts. While the event is now over, this doesn't mean your chance to grab a great deal is also gone.
While Apple deals can be elusive, Amazon still has some of the best deals we've seen all year right now on products like MacBooks (including the brand-new MacBook Air M3), AirPods, and Apple Watches (including the Apple Watch Series 9). We've rounded up the best Apple deals available after Amazon Prime Day, while stocks last.

FAQs
When is Amazon Prime Day 2024?
Amazon Prime Day 2024 officially ran from July 16 at 12:01 a.m. PDT through July 17. Competitors -- such as Walmart and Best Buy -- also ran their own version of the summer sale.
Are Apple products really cheaper on Prime Day?
Apple rarely offers sales and discounts on its products, and considering the generally high price point, you might wait a while before upgrading your gear. So events such as Prime Day and Black Friday are great opportunities to save -- but discounts are often still low, with many deals we've observed offering roughly 5% to 20% off, at most.
Will iPads be on sale on Prime Day?
Yes. Even after Prime Day, there are many iPad deals still live. These tablets are popular and considering how many options are now on the market -- including iPad minis, the standard iPad, and iPad Pro models -- we can reliably expect discounts to appear each year.
How did we choose these Prime Day deals?
ZDNET only recommends the devices we can stand behind, so when we say you're getting a good deal, we want to ensure your hard-earned money goes towards excellent value. To choose the top deals, we comb through the best sales available and make thorough price comparisons with historical data, combined with our personal experience with these products, to determine which ones are worth buying.
Our hope is to help you make the best choice to stretch your dollar.
