Prime Day might be over, but some of the best deals on Apple products are still active.

Here are the best Apple deals from Prime Day that are still kicking—with the caveat, of course, that these may expire at any time.

Apple MacBook Airs starting at $799
Prime Day brought new record low prices for both the M3 and M2 MacBook Airs, both of which are still on sale. The 13-inch M3 with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage starts at $899 (originally $1,099) and the 13-inch M2 with the same RAM and storage starts at $799. I covered the M3 back in May when it dropped to $949 as well as the M2 last month when it dropped to $829. Both are great laptops, but if you can afford the extra $100, the M3 is my recommendation. If you’re not sure which MacBook is a better fit for you, check out our comparison post.
AirPods Max and AirPods Pro are still discounted, too
I’m still surprised how much the Apple AirPods Max came down for Prime Day, and they are still available at the same $394.99 (originally $549) price. If you’re an Apple user looking for the best headphones for your Apple products, this are the ones for you. If you don’t have that kind of disposable income available or just prefer something a little less bulky, the 2nd Generation AirPods Pro for $168.99 (originally $249) and the 3rd Generation Apple AirPods for $119.99 (originally $169.99) are both also at their lowest price yet.
Apple Watches reached a new low price
The Apple Watch Ultra 2, the most impressive Apple Watch available, dropped $100 on Prime Day, and that discount is still going. The Ultra 2 is great for fitness enthusiasts but also offers a lot for casual users, and you can get it for $699.99 (originally $799). If you don’t want to spend that much, the Apple Watch Series 9 is $309.99 (originally $429), is the second-most expensive watch, and is much cheaper than it was when it dropped in price back in May.
The 10th Generation iPad is $299
Another impressive Prime Day discount was the 10th generation iPad dropping to $299 (originally $349). As Senior Tech Editor Jake Peterson said in his Prime Day post, this is the best iPad for most people, and it’s down to its lowest price yet. This is the 64 GB and wifi-only version, which came out in October of 2022.
If you’re scared you might lose any of these expensive high-tech Apple devices, the four-pack of Apple AirTags is also down to its lowest price yet of $74.99 (originally $99).
NBA veteran John Wall, eyeing a comeback, believes he was the ‘second-best player in the East’ behind LeBron James in 2017
Wall’s claim isn’t too far fetched despite James still being at the height of his powers during that season, coming off an NBA Championship with Cleveland the year prior.

All the New Apple Music Features Coming to iOS 18
There’s been a lot of talk about all the new iOS 18 features in Messages, Notes, and the Phone app, but not enough has been said about Apple Music. The service is getting some really cool new features, and from my time using some of them in the developer beta, I’m quite excited about them. Now that the public beta is out, you can easily try these features too, but before you do so, make sure that you have a full backup and that you’re installing the beta on a secondary iPhone if you can.
Here are the best new iOS 18 features coming to Apple Music.
You can read full song names
Long song names, very common with Western Classical music, were nearly impossible to read in the Music app up until iOS 17. On the upcoming iOS 18 version of Apple Music, the iPhone app displays full song names and makes it much easier to tell which song you’re looking at. Making playlists is so much easier now, because I actually know which song I’m selecting. You can see the change whenever you open any music album in Apple Music on iOS 18.
Queueing is much better
Apple Music is making it much easier to queue songs. Previously, you could select multiple songs using two fingers and drop them in your queue, but otherwise you just had the “Play Next,” and “Play Last” options. In iOS 18, Apple Music shows an “Add to Queue” button when you tap the three-dots button next to any song. You’ll also find an “Add Songs to Queue” button on the Now Playing screen. This makes it much easier to queue up a few songs. The best thing is that once you hit “Add Songs to Queue,” you’ll see a popover that lets you search your entire library. Here, you can play songs to preview them before you add them to your queue. This reduces the chances of accidentally messing up your queue.
Better controls for playback
Apple Music has never placed much attention on shuffle, repeat, and the recently added “infinity” button, which lets the algorithm pick songs for you. After a few UI changes, iOS 18’s Apple Music may have found a good solution. These buttons are still on the Now Playing screen, but they’re larger and much easier to tap.
Music Haptics for the hard of hearing
I love it when companies add accessibility features to their products. Apple has a great track record with accessibility features, and Music Haptics is another good example of that. It syncs your iPhone’s Taptic Engine, responsible for haptic feedback, with Apple Music songs so that people who are deaf or hard of hearing can enjoy the music, too.
SharePlay for everyone
When you’re listening on Apple Music, iOS 18’s SharePlay will allow multiple users to control playback and add songs to the queue. This could be a lot of fun when you have friends over and want to listen together. This feature doesn’t require collaborators to have an Apple Music subscription, which widens its appeal.
