Just about everything Apple offers across its product lines have hit Black Friday prices already during Amazon's shopping holiday. The post Grab rare deals on Apple MacBooks, AirPods, Mac Minis, and Apple Watch during Amazon Prime Day appeared first on Popular Science .
A good sale can totally negate the “Apple tax” that you’ll usually pay for the company’s products. Amazon’s annual Big Deal Days sale is a great time to upgrade while saving some money. The deals run across just about every part of the Apple lineup. The Apple Watch Series 12 (42mm) is $349.99 and the 2026 Mac mini with the M6 chip is $949.99, and neither has sold for less there. Beats has the deepest cuts, though. Studio Pro headphones are $119, less than half their list price and $30.95 under their previous Amazon low, and Studio Buds+ are $89.95. None of the deals on this page carried a Prime badge when we checked on the evening of October 5.
