We finally have an exciting Amazon Prime Day sale for Apple fans. If you've been meaning to pick up the latest (or slightly-older) Apple products at bargain prices, this is a good time to pull the trigger. Base MacBooks, iPads, and AirPods are all either at all-time low prices, or quite near it. Here are some of the best Apple deals I've found for October Prime Day, including MacBooks, iPads, AirPods, and Apple Watches.

Best iPad deals

iPad (9th Generation), 10.2-inch ($199, $130 off): If you don't mind the older screen, and the physical Home Button, you can get the 2021 iPad for a ridiculously cheap price of just $199, down from $329. Yes, it's not the fastest tablet in the world, but the A13 Bionic Chip coupled with the Retina Display are enough for watching content or browsing the web. Slap a thick case on it, and it's a great kid-friendly tablet.

iPad Air, 11-inch (M2) ($547, $50 off): The latest iPad Air, with the ridiculously fast M2 chip is discounted to $547 (from $599). This is not a big discount, but it's the lowest price that I've seen yet for the latest iPad Air on Amazon. As it sits right now, the iPad Air is the best over-all iPad for everyone, while the iPad Pros have become overkill for most users. Even for creatives, the iPad Air offers all the power, screen quality, and accessory ecosystem that they need.

iPad mini, 6th Generation ($349, $150 off): Rumor has it Apple is planning to ship an update to the iPad mini before the end of the year. That said, if you want one for a discount, you can snag the iPad mini for $349, instead of the $499 sticker price. This is the lowest that the iPad mini has been discounted so far.

Best AirPods deals

AirPods Pro 2 ($169, $80.01 off): If you want the best wireless audio that Apple has to offer, the AirPods Pro 2 are the ones to go for. You get the H2 chip, USB-C charging, and stellar noise cancellation and Transparency Mode. These earbuds are down from $249 to just $168.99 for the Prime Day sale.

Unfortunately, this is the only great deal on AirPods this October Prime Day. The latest AirPods 4 without noise cancellation are discounted by only $10, to $119. The older version of the AirPods Max, with Lightning port instead of USB-C, are available for $394.99 from $549, but these headphones are frequently found for $399. My advice for over-the-ear headphones? Go for something from Sennheiser or Sony instead.
