Best Apple deals in the Amazon Spring Deal Days sale
Apple AirPods pro earbuds: Was £229, now £199, Amazon.co.uk
Apple’s second-generation AirPods Pro 2 earbuds have plummeted to less than £200. The Independent’s tech critic David Phelan said in his review that they offer extra features over the previous AirPods Pro from 2021, boasting better audio quality, stronger noise cancellation and better battery life. The biggest change in design applies to the charging case, which now has a loop on the side to enable you to attach a lanyard, and there’s a speaker on the underside to help you locate it with the Find My app. They were updated with new features in September.
Apple AirTag, pack of four: Was £119, now £94, Amazon.co.uk
Apple’s AirTag won a spot in our review of the best key finders. Waterproof, long-lasting and sturdy, you’ll want these attached to everything you hold dear The current discount takes the AirTags to their lowest price in almost two years, there’s never been a better time to grab a pack. “For any iPhone owner prone to losing things, investing in a pack of four might be one of the best decisions you ever make,” our writer said in their review. “Precision tracking works wonderfully well when you can get a signal, and the fact it’s powered by removable batteries is a real bonus, in our eyes.” If you don’t think you’ll need a four-pack, you can also snap up a deal on the single AirTag.
Apple Watch Ultra: Was £699, now £580, Amazon.co.uk
When this wearable launched in 2022, our reviewer scored it 4.5 stars out of five: “The display is fantastic, offering outstanding brightness and exceptional readability, thanks to the size and flatness of the screen,” they said. It’s called the ‘Ultra’ because it does more than previous Apple Watch models – from crash detection to depth monitoring, for instance. Our tester added: “For sure, the more active you are, the greater the benefits, but it’s a handsome, highly capable smartwatch for anyone to use.” Right now, you can pick one up for its cheapest ever price in Amazon’s spring sale.
Apple AirPods, 3rd generation: Was £169, now £149, Amazon.co.uk
You can save £20 on Apple’s third-generation AirPods in the Spring Deal Days sale. In our AirPods review, our tester called them a “big step up from the second-generation model”, adding that the “improved audio is noticeable, especially with spatial audio and the new shape”. The AirPods Pro (was £229, now £199, Amazon.co.uk) are better sounding thanks to noise-cancelling, but if that’s not a feature you need, this is a great deal on one of the best pairs of wireless earbuds around.
Apple iPad, 10th generation, 2022: Was £499, now £379, Amazon.co.uk
With a huge discount of £120, the 2022 iPad is cheaper than it’s ever been at Amazon. “The new design, faster processor, better and bigger display are easily worth the price, and the new iPad is a real rival to the iPad Air, which usually costs £170 more,” our writer said in their review. “This is the best tablet under £500 from any manufacturer, in my opinion,” they added.
Apple iPhone 15: Was £799, now £699, Amazon.co.uk
You can save £100 on the latest and greatest common or garden iPhone 15 at Amazon right now. “The new iPhone is slick, fast and effective, and the new, brighter screen here looks very good, especially with the brilliant dynamic island,” our writer said in their review. “The cameras are a very big update this year, delivering sensational images with zero effort. This is a much more extensive upgrade compared with the one from the iPhone 13 to the iPhone 14. If you don’t need the extra camera found on the Pro, this is the ultimate all-round smartphone.”
Apple MacBook air, M2, 2023, 256GB SSD: Was £1,399, now £1,099, Amazon.co.uk
It might be less than a year old, but Apple’s 15in MacBook air with the M2 chip has already had a sizeable 21 per cent sliced off its price at Amazon. “Apple’s MacBook air 15in pulls off a clever trick: it adds significant extra screen size without losing the air’s signature super-thin and super-light qualities,” our writer said in their review. “Performance is similar to the 13.6in MacBook air, that is, the M2 processor is more than fast enough for most needs, handling all tasks effortlessly and silently.”
Apple Watch series 9, GPS: Was £399, now £349, Amazon.co.uk
Apple’s latest and greatest Apple Watch has just been discounted by £50 at Amazon. Named best smartwatch in our guide to the best smartwatches, in our standalone review, our writer said: “The latest Apple Watch looks like last year’s but is definitely a different and more capable device. It’s worth the upgrade for the double-tap feature alone, but there’s also precision finding for iPhone, the simplicity and security of some Siri actions being handled entirely on-device, and the brighter display.”
Apple iPhone 13, 512GB: Was £899, now £755, Amazon.co.uk
Amazon has sliced the price of the Apple iPhone 13. When our tester reviewed this smartphone, they loved how speedy it was, describing it as “immaculately designed and built”, with “real power”. They also said it makes “good photography easy”. Although this version of the iPhone is now a few years old, it’s still a great deal at this price.
Apple MacBook Air laptop M1 chip, 2020: Was £999, now £820, Amazon.co.uk
Here’s a near 20 per cent saving on Apple’s 2020 MacBook Air. Touted as having an all-day battery life (up to 18 hours, depending on use) and a more powerful performance than the previous generation, thanks to the M1 chip, it has you covered for streaming, working, gaming and more. The immersive 13.3 retina display is teamed with a lightweight and slim design that’s perfect for on-the-go use.
Apple AirPods 2nd gen with wired charging case: Was £129, now £99, Amazon.co.uk
While the AirPods 2 have been superseded by the AirPods 3, the second-generation model still packs a punch, though they forgo the active noise cancellation found on the AirPods Pro. They’ve dropped to their lowest price at Amazon. Our writer noted in their review that they are “some of the very lightest in-ears you can find”, adding that “the design is unchanged since day one, but improved electronics inside mean that, like on the pro model, you can say, ‘Hey, Siri’ to invoke the virtual assistant without even touching the earbuds”.
Apple iPad pro, 2022, 11in, 128GB: Was £899, now £824.98, Amazon.co.uk
The fourth-generation iPad pro launched in 2022. It comes in two sizes, but it’s the 11in model that’s currently discounted by £74. A small amount, yes, but considering it’s the newest model, the saving is pretty good.
“The large iPad pro is especially brilliant (literally, thanks to the mini LED backlighting that brightens everything) and has a super-fast processor that handles everything you throw at it with ease,” our writer said in their review. “Not everybody needs all this power, though the speedy performance benefits everything the tablet does. If you really want the best tablet around, it’s the iPad pro.”
Apple iPhone 14 pro, 256GB: Was £999, now £949, Amazon.co.uk
If you’re looking to upgrade your iPhone in the Spring Sale, Amazon has slashed a healthy £50 off the iPhone 14 pro with 256GB of storage. The phone “has new features that are original and innovative, from great safety protections to dazzling visual features”, our writer said in their review. “At a time when many talk of incremental improvements or how phones have plateaued, the new pro handsets are real, chunky upgrades, offering slick new software, much better cameras and, in Dynamic Island, the kind of genuine innovation I’ve come to expect from Apple.”
iPad Pencil 2nd generation: Was £35.99, now £29.99, Amazon.co.uk
An iPad pencil can revolutionise the way you use your Apple products. And the brand’s pencil is now 33 per cent off, so there’s never been a better time to let your creativity flow. Specifically designed with iPads in mind, you can use it to sketch, colour, highlight, draw, take notes, mark up a PDF and much more. It claims to have a 12-hour battery life and features a real-time power display, so you’ll never get caught out. All that for £30, what are you waiting for?
Oretech for iPhone 14 case: Was £18.99, now £13.99, Amazon.co.uk
If you’re known for dropping your phone or constantly having a cracked screen, this could be the phone case for you. Referred to as a “military grade” shockproof case by the brand, your iPhone 14 or 13 is sure to sleep soundly in 360-degree protection, thanks to two screen protectors, a rubber front case and a polycarbonate back case. It also comes with a built-in kickstand for propping up your phone, for hands-free entertainment or photography. To top it all off, it now has almost 30 per cent off.
ESR screen protector for Apple Watch Ultra 2: Was £15.99, now £12.79, Amazon.co.uk
When we think of screen protectors, we automatically think about protecting our phones, but for some, there is a screen even closer to us that is often left vulnerable. Your Apple Watch screen deserves to be looked after too, and this protector could be just the one to do it. Not only does it have 20 per cent off but it’s also available in seven different frame colours. Plus, it’s made of super-hard tempered glass that provides impact resistance and edge-to-edge defence against every kind of scratch and crack you can possibly throw at it.
