There was a time when Apple fans were advised to avoid Prime Day deals At the time, Amazon's Apple products were mediocre, losing out to Wal-Mart and Best Buy However, things have changed dramatically, and we expect Prime Day 2021 to offer the best Apple sales of 2021

Not all Apple products will be on sale Mobile carriers, not Amazon, remain the place to go for iPhone deals However, MacBooks, iPads, AirPods, and even the new iMac M1 could see significant price cuts this Prime Day Here is what we expect

Apple's least expensive laptops will likely be even cheaper on Prime Day Last year on Prime Day, the 2020 MacBook Air dropped to an all-time low of $849 This year, we predict that the MacBook Air M1 could be as low as $849 The base model has already hit $899 several times, so a price tag of $849 is not unrealistic On the other hand, they expect the 512GB model to drop at least $100 to $999

The new MacBook Pro M1 could be considered the twin of the MacBook Air However, the MacBook Pro has a built-in fan that allows the laptop to maintain high performance for extended periods of time The screen is also slightly brighter than the MacBook Air In recent weeks, the base model has hit an all-time low of $1,149, $150 off On Prime Day last year, Amazon only reduced the price of the MacBook Pro by $100 Times have changed, however, and this Prime Day Amazon is likely to slash the price of the M1 MacBook Pro by $200 Meanwhile, the 512GB model is already $200 off, so we can expect both models to be $200 off This will be the best MacBook sale of the year

Deals on AirPods Pro have been a dime a dozen recently However, significant price drops are expected on Prime Day For example, the AirPods Pro could be $169 by Prime Day If that happens, it would be in line with the low Black Friday price On Prime Day, however, it is expected to be $149 Meanwhile, Amazon is expected to cut the price of the AirPods Max by at least $50 Amazon has been sneaking price cuts on non-holiday days in the past This could be the first major deal since the headphones' launch As for the traditional AirPods, we can expect the base model to drop to $99 and the AirPods with wireless charging case to $129

The iPad Air is the tablet we all want, but it's not cheap Fortunately, Prime Day will help make the iPad Air somewhat more affordable For most of this year, the base model has sold for $559 This is just $20 away from the lowest price ever On Prime Day, Amazon will likely drop the price again to $539 or even $529 Meanwhile, the base 102-inch iPad will likely drop from $329 to $279 For most of this year, Amazon has been selling it for $299 The problem is that Amazon doesn't have much inventory of the 102-inch iPad, so it will sell out fast; if the iPad goes below $279, it is expected to sell out faster than the PS5 game console Meanwhile, the new iPad Pro with the M1 CPU is expected to be at least $50 off

We've been tracking Apple Watch deals since the launch of the original Apple Watch, and trust us when we say that Amazon has the best discounts To date, the lowest price we've seen for the Apple Watch 6 is $249, a discount of $150 This deal took place at an undetermined time in March and sold out in less than 24 hours; Amazon is expected to offer this price again, but it is expected to be on the RED model Other colors may be discounted by $50 or $70, but that's still a respectable price The Apple Watch 3, on the other hand, could be reduced to $159 or $149 with a more modest price cut However, we still shouldn't expect inventory to continue at this price point

We would love to see a generous discount on the new iMac M1 Unfortunately, we don't expect to see a discount of more than $50 or perhaps $100 If that's still over your budget, we suggest you opt for the Mac mini M1 The bite-sized Mac dropped to $599 (base model) earlier this week, the lowest price ever for Apple's cheapest Mac computer We predict it will be in this price range again during Prime Day Meanwhile, the 512GB model will likely be $799 again, which is also an all-time low by $100
