The Best Early Prime Day Deals on AirPods, iPads, and More

Amazon is hosting another Prime Day event this year, called Prime Big Deal Days and offering shoppers the first chance to save on holiday shopping from a major retailer. Similar to last year's fall Prime Day, it will last for two days (October 7-8) and you can already find a large selection of early deals across Amazon's storefront, covering savings on tech, clothing, video games, groceries, and much, much more.

For our coverage, we're focusing on Apple and Apple-related discounts that can be purchased during this 48-hour event on Amazon. As of today, this includes deals on AirPods, iPad Air, iPad mini, and various accessories.

As is typical for Prime Day deals, these markdowns are very time sensitive, so sales listed below may disappear fast, and new ones may appear even faster. With this in mind, we'll keep this article updated throughout the event, and keep an eye on the MacRumors front page as we'll be posting particularly great deals in separate articles this week.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, Amazon Prime Day requires you to have an Amazon Prime membership to take advantage of the discounts. Amazon Prime costs $14.99 per month or $139.00 per year, and it comes with a 30-day free trial for new subscribers.

Special for 2025, Amazon is also offering a free six month trial to Prime for Young Adults right now. Prime for Young Adults is a discounted Prime membership for anyone age 18-24 that offers all of the Prime benefits at $69.00 per year, half of the price of regular Prime.

Recommend to check return window, even if you get a lower price at Amazon. i.e. Walmart has holiday returns up on a new AW10, cellular & gps through 1/31/26. Same price, just aluminum silver vs. jet black (which I am reading has paint chipping issues).
To me this is more valuable than paying $X less on Amazon. Just saying…

I didn't expect the holiday return window to kick in for anyone until mid-November, so it's good to know Walmart is starting it early!

You'll definitely need to pay attention if you try to price match at Best Buy, because their non-holiday return window is generally only like 15 days, last I saw, at least without the free tier membership or higher.

I guess it’s too soon for the AirPods Pro 3 to be discounted.
