So many new all-time lows!

You don't have to be a diehard Apple fan to know that aside from its annual back-to-school event, the brand pretty much never runs sales. The good news is that third-party retailers often pick up the slack with deals of their own throughout the year, with prices getting unusually cheap around major shopping events.

Lo and behold, Amazon kicked off its annual Prime Day sale on Tuesday, June 11 with a slew of deals on MacBooks, iPads, AirPods, and Apple Watches — including a bunch of all-time low pricing on devices from the past couple of years. (I.e., it's a great opportunity to upgrade if you're still holding on to an older model.) We'll be keeping track of the most worth-it deals and monitoring their availability as the event progresses through Wednesday, June 12. Check out a list of the highlights below:

Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ?, while deals with a ? have dropped to an all-time low price. Deals with a strikeout were either sold out or expired at the time of writing.

Why we like it

This Mashable Choice Award-winning laptop has been stuck at $799 for months, and we honestly didn't think it could dip any lower. It's now $749.99 during Prime Day, making it the cheapest MacBook you can get anywhere without going the refurbished or renewed route.

Prime Day iPad deals

Our pick: Apple iPad, 9th Generation (WiFi, 64GB) ?

$249.99 on Amazon (save $79.01)

Buy On Amazon↗

Why we like it

We consider the standard iPad the best iPad for most people, and at $249.99 it's by far the most affordable. Previously, we've seen this iPad go on sale for $279, but this new price drop is too good to pass up. With a decent amount of storage, a nice 10.2-inch display, and an A13 Bionic chip, this iPad will carry you through note-taking and YouTube binges with ease. (Note: the extra $29.01 discount is applied at checkout.)

Why we like it

The AirPods Pro got a much-needed update last fall, and it was worth the wait. With upgraded active noise cancellation and improved battery life, these are some of the best (if not the best) earbuds Apple has to offer. Their Prime Day price of $199 is a little disappointing — they've been hovering there for a couple of weeks now — but it is their best deal to date. We'll keep a close eye on them in case they get cheaper over the next day or so.
