The Apple Watch SE is the next budget model in the line and is now down to $170. It has been selling for $189 for the past few months. We recommend it for people looking for great integration with iPhone notifications and healthy health tracking. It doesn’t have all the sensors like the Apple Watch Series 9, but as we’ve reviewed, you get a lot of features for the money.

Prime Day is the latest to drop AirPods Pro Marked down to $170 from the list price of $249. They’ve been hitting $189 regularly for the past few months, and $180 is the lowest we’ve seen them before, so that’s quite a discount.

Apple’s over-ear headphones, AirPods Max It’s currently $394 off the list price of $549. The lowest price we tracked before that was $430. These earned an 84 in our review when they came out in 2020.

The main caveat was the price, but we appreciated the excellent and balanced sound, as well as the active noise cancellation (ANC). And we got 20 hours of use from the headphones on a single charge, as Apple promises.

As you can see in our review, we were impressed by the iPad Pro’s stunning display and insanely powerful performance, but we called it “absurdly expensive.” This discount might change things a bit.

The standard iPad wasn’t replaced during Apple’s iPad event in May, so that’s why 10th generation iPad is still the most relevant. Prime Day pricing drops it to $299, a record low. With the launch of the new Pro and Air models, Apple has permanently reduced the list price to $349. Since its launch in October 2022, we have given it a review score of 85. It’s also a budget pick in our iPad buying guide.

Apple released the new MacBook Air models in March, and as we noted in our review, they’re not hugely different from the previous generation—though that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The 13-inch version remains our top MacBook recommendation for most people in our buying guide.

Apple Studio Screen currently selling for $1,300 for tilt-adjustable models with standard (non-nano-textured) glass. This is equal to the lowest level we have seen earlier this year.

We gave the Apple Studio Monitor 80 points in our 2022 review, thanks to its build quality, good sound, and bright and accurate display. It only had a 60Hz refresh rate (which is pretty low these days) and the webcam was poor. But if you’re an Apple devotee, you’ll find a lot to appreciate in its 27-inch, 2880p 5K LCD monitor that supports 1 billion colors. It can also power your MacBook at 96W for a cleaner looking desktop.
