Best Prime Day Apple deals: My 15 favorite sales live now

When is Amazon Prime Day 2025? 

This year, Amazon Prime Day runs from July 8-11. For the first time, the annual sale will last for four days instead of the usual two, so you'll have more chances to save.

Are Apple products really cheaper on Prime Day? 

Apple rarely offers major sales and discounts on its products, and considering the generally high price point, you might wait a while for a deal before upgrading your gear. Sales events like 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. 

How did we choose these Prime Day deals?

ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy -- devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale, as is often the case with Apple devices), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops. 

We also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we're recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing -- in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.
