Prime Big Deal Days is a great time to shop for super-rare Apple deals, which don’t come around that often. For real though, it’s almost impossible to find authentic Apple products for less than retail price.
Dates for the Prime Big Deal Days are in, happening on Oct. 10 and 11. Deals will start and end at 3 a.m. ET. Prime Big Deal Days is like the fall sequel to Prime Day, where you can find Prime Day-level deals.
In July 2023 there were savings like 30% off an Apple Watch Series 8 and 31% off an Apple Pencil. We expect similar deals for the October event. (We also expect the same for the July 2024 sale, which we predict will happen on July 9 and 10).
Here were our favorite 2023 Apple Prime Day deals to help you prepare for next year.

Why not check out these sales while you wait for the official Prime Day deals to drop? Here are the discounts we’ve got our eye on right now, including a $240 Apple Watch available now.
Best Prime Day Apple Deals on July 12, 2023
Prime Day in July 2023 had the second-lowest price ever tracked for Apple AirPods (2nd Generation) — the lowest price ever was $79.99 during Black Friday. If you see price drops like this next year, that’s your cue to add to your cart ASAP! AirTags were another hot item in 2023, offered for only $10 more than their Black Friday price.
- Apple AirPods (2nd Generation), $89.99
$129.00(30% Off) - iPad, $249.99
$329.00(24% Off) - Apple AirTag 4-Pack, $88.49
$99.00(11% Off) - Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation), $199.99
$249.00(20% Off)
TIP: Not sure about the differences between the AirPods models? Only the AirPods (3rd Gen) and AirPods Pro have active noise cancellation for a better listening experience. Those two also offer “transparency mode,” which lets ambient sounds still get to your ears.
