All of Apple’s AirPods have hit their Max-imum discount for Amazon Prime Day

First published on Friday, July 12. Updated Monday, July 15

Wondering if AirPods will be on sale for Prime Day? Whether you’re buying your first pair of AirPods or upgrading the trusty ‘buds you have used every day for years, Amazon’s big yearly Prime Day sale is a great time to look for a discount.

Many Apple products are rarely on sale, and when they do go on sale they’re barely at a discount at all. AirPods are an exception: As long as they’re not a just-released model, they’re almost always available at a discount from the official retail price. And when big sales events come around, like Prime Day or Black Friday, you can often save 25 percent or more.

Amazon is one of the best places to look for AirPods deals, and we expect to see some excellent discounts during the Prime Day event on July 16 and 17. We’ll keep this article updated leading up to and through Prime Day so you can quickly find the best deal.
