Early Apple Deals Emerge Ahead of Amazon Prime Day

Retailers have started rolling out significant discounts on various Apple products in anticipation of Amazon's Prime Day sale, scheduled to begin on June 23rd.

Among the early offers, the AirPods Pro 3 are available for $179.99 at Amazon and Best Buy, while Walmart briefly offered them for $169, though this deal has been volatile. These earbuds feature improved noise cancellation, richer bass, and built-in heart sensors that integrate with Apple's Fitness app to monitor workout data.

The Apple Watch Series 11 has also seen its price return to one of its best historical lows. The AirPods 4, Apple’s entry-level earbuds, are priced at $99 (a $30 discount) across Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. This model provides richer bass than prior generations and boasts an IP54 rating for water and dust resistance, along with strong voice call quality.

Additionally, the AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation and wireless charging are on sale for $148.99 ($30 off) at the same retailers. For those seeking over-ear options, the AirPods Max 2 are available for $499.99 ($50 off) at Amazon and Walmart, retaining a premium design with enhanced sound and noise cancellation, powered by Apple’s H2 chip for features like live translation.

Beats products are also included in the early sales. The Beats Powerbeats Fit are $169.95 ($30 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart, marking their second-best price to date. These noise-canceling earbuds are platform-agnostic and feature a redesigned wingtip for a secure fit during workouts. The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 are priced at $199.95 ($70 off) at the same retailers, featuring an ear-hook design for stability and Apple's H2 chip for advanced audio capabilities like Adaptive Audio and wireless charging.

According to The Verge, while these early deals offer considerable savings, there is a possibility that some Apple products might receive even steeper discounts once Prime Day fully commences.
