Does Apple offer Prime Day sales?

While the Apple Store doesn’t run competing Prime Day deals — and rarely offers discounts outside of educational promos — it is possible to find deals on Apple devices and accessories from authorized retailers. The best deals usually accompany big events around major holidays, which is why Prime Day events are an excellent time to shop for Apple sales. If you’re looking to spend less, try foregoing the latest releases. You’ll find bigger discounts on previous-generation models or refurbished devices. 

Where are the best Prime Day deals?

As you might expect, Amazon is the place to be for Prime Day deals. But that doesn’t mean that other retailers don’t often jump on the bandwagon. Big retailers like Best Buy, Walmart and Target often run competing sales alongside Amazon’s.

How we choose the best Prime Day deals

At CNET, we have a team of expert shoppers and deal hunters whose experience spans years spent helping buyers distinguish between major sales and routine deals. That includes Black Friday, Prime Day, Fourth of July and countless other shopping events. We’ve gotten very good at weeding out scams and superficial savings. We look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time when choosing a deal to show you.

• Real discounts mean exactly that. We look at the price history for all items sold to make sure no manufacturers are inflating prices to make the discount seem more substantial than it is.
• Quality reviews are important for any product, but especially for big purchase items like grills, furniture and appliances. If it breaks the first time you use it, the discount isn’t really worthwhile.
• Remaining sale time is a huge part of our vetting process. If a deal seems like it will only be around for a short while or will only be available for the remaining stock, we’ll let you know upfront so you don’t come back to the deal later only to be disappointed.
