The best deals on AirPods, iPads and other Apple devices for October Prime Day

If you have Apple devices on your shopping list for this holiday season, you may be able to save on some of them if you pick them up during Amazon’s October Prime Day. The online retailer has knocked down the prices of many Apple gadgets, including AirPods, iPads, MacBooks and more. Since Apple stuff is always in high demand, it’s not a bad idea to cross these items off your list early if you can so you’re not left gift-less and searching for a last-minute replacement. Here are the best deals on Apple gadgets we found for the Prime Day Early Access Sale.

Apple’s second-generation AirPods Pro at $15 off and down to $235 for this October Prime Day. That’s the best price we’ve seen since launch, and we gave them a score of 88 for their improved sound, excellent Transparency Mode and solid ANC.
