Rounding off Amazon UK’s Apple Prime Day deals, there are some financial savings two basic Apple peripherals: Magic Mouse and Magic Keyboard. Now Apple’s Magic Mouse is not our best choice as the finest mouse for Mac, however this can be a file low value if you’d like to have Apple every little thing.
There’s additionally one official Prime Day iPad deal in the UK, and it is a record low price on the 2022 iPad. It beats the earlier finest value by £10. There’s only one catch: the deal is just one one color: pink

This is Joe taking up the Prime Day Apple weblog now. I’m right here to see us by way of the night time (sure, that jogs my memory of this Apple iPhone XR advert). Drip fed with caffeine, I’ll on look ahead to on any shock Apple deals popping up in the UK.
There is precisely ONE Prime Day deal, and one Prime Day deal solely, in the UK to this point on MacBooks. And that’s on the MacEbook Air M2 mannequin that was first launched in 2022. Yes, it’s not fairly the newest Air on the market, however it’s nonetheless fairly, fairly, fairly good, runs easily, is tremendous light-weight and skinny, and can do every little thing you want outdoors heavy-duty inventive duties. And now it’s down to £849 from £999 at Amazon, which is up there with the greatest value drops on this mannequin to this point. No phrase on a UK-based Prime Day supply on a Pro but, although…
Do you fancy some ridiculously lush and costly headphones, however for a barely much less ridiculous value? Then you’re in luck, my pricey fellow human being. The AirPods Max are my good friend and coworker Beren’s absolute favorite audio gadget ever, and that’s simply pretty much as good they are, as a result of they’ll set you again a mind-juddering £499 on a standard day.
Today will not be a standard day, although. Today is Prime Day. And meaning you’ll be able to get the AirPods Max for only £449. I say “only”, figuring out full effectively that that is nonetheless lots of cash, however Beren is so smitten that I’m fairly positive that they’re price it at this value.
I’ll be right here until 1am, when considered one of my colleagues will take over till sunup, and seeing as how Prime Day has blindsided us in the previous with shock deals, I’m totally anticipating this scene after I present up once more at 3pm tomorrow:
PRIME DAY IS LIVE (IN THE UK)
Man the garrisons! Light the beacons! Sound the horn of battle! Brace for impa- what I’m getting at right here. Prime Day 2024 is dwell in the UK proper now. And we have now a friggidy-fresh Prime Day deal on the 10.9-inch iPad Air M1 from 2022. No, we don’t have a Prime Day deal on the latest fashions (but, although that would presumably change…), however this 2022 mannequin is a inventive delight, with a pointy, responsive display and many oomph thanks to the nifty M1 chip on board. And now it’s at its lowest value I’ve seen, down to £599 (was £849) on Amazon UK. If you need flagship efficiency for a midrange value (okay, premium midrange value, effective), that is the one to go for.
[looks at clock, googles time dilation theory]
54 minutes and counting till Prime Day is formally dwell in the UK. I ought to in all probability not have one other espresso this late… [eyes kitchen] …however possibly…
Oh hello Mark! That identical Mac mini can be out there in the UK for a particular value for you my good friend. With an RRP of £1,399, it’s now priced at £1,254.97 (weirdly particular, however okay), which once more is not fairly the lowest I’ve seen it at (it was about 20 quid cheaper than this in April), so I’m hoping we’d see an additional drop in the subsequent 24 hours on this aspect of the Pond too…
We’re very a lot in the calm-before-the-storm part proper now, so I haven’t got an entire lot new to report at the mo.
There is a deal to be had on the fantabulous Mac mini, although with the top-specced M2 Pro, 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM mannequin available for $1,149 (was $1,299) at Amazon. It’s not fairly the lowest value I’ve seen it at, because it obtained as little as $1,099 a few months in the past, so we’d see an additional value drop right here in a number of hours…
I instructed you about the M2 Pro-chipped MacEbook Pro being a cool $570 off on Amazon already. Well, when you want even MORE POWEEEERRRRR, the M2 Max-fuelled variant of the 2023 MacEbook Pro (14-inch display) is a whopping $600 off (effectively,technically $599.05 however I like massive spherical numbers), down to $2,499.95 from $3,099. This matches the lowest-ever value for this monster, and regardless of being some huge cash, you are getting lots of laptop right here. Specifically, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 12-core CPU and 30-core GPU and that 1000-nit Liquid Retina show that individuals who like color accuracy (learn: most creatives) price so extremely.
Are you a fan of brilliant colors and bargains? I do know I’m.
And I’ve discovered an Actual Real Life Apple Product BARGAIN. The Apple Smart Folio for 11-inch iPad Pro 2nd Generation and iPad Air 4th Generation, very particularly the Pink Citrus one, is a staggering 62% off on Amazon US proper now, down to $29.95 from $79, so that is one give you undoubtedly do not have to watch for Prime Day to take pleasure in, assured. And you may defend your iPad in type too.
We all want a bit of pop of color in our lives anyway, do not we?
I’m caffeinated and prepared to comply with this dwell weblog till 1am, so I’ll see and listen to the Prime Day bells ringing in the season in the UK, so when you’ve been feeling disheartened by the dearth of pre-Prime Day (or let’s assume sub-Prime?) presents to this point, I’ve it on good authority that issues will begin to look much more attention-grabbing after midnight tonight…
Yes, the Magic Mouse from Apple has that unforgivable charging port at the BOTTOM, however in the weeks in-between costs, it is fairly unbelievable to use.
And it is considered one of the greatest deals in share phrases at the second on Amazon UK, with a 19% low cost (down to £79.99 from £99), and for a deluxe mouse for True Apple Fans(tm) that is a fairly whole lot already. It may even get bettered in the subsequent two days, although. We’ll let as quickly as we all know.
It’s all occurring in the US, although. If the MacEbook Pro with the M2 Pro chip is not fairly the newest model sufficient for you, the M3 Pro, additionally a darned good machine, is discounted already forward of Prime Day. Originally priced at $1,999, now you can rating the 18GB unified reminiscence model with the 14-inch display and 512GB of storage on board for $1,699 at Amazon. It’s far more reasonably priced than the outrageously priced M3 Max fashions, with out giving up essential ranges of efficiency (all the 3D rendering, all the time).
While I’m already seeing notable value drops on iPads (albeit not the newest fashions) and Watches in the UK, information remains to be a bit skinny on the floor when it comes to MacBooks. The finest deal I’m seeing at the second is a slim £100ish off the 8GB MacEbook Air M2 from 2022, down to £899.97 from £999 at Amazon. This is a pleasant laptop computer, however with solely 8GB of RAM, it will not fairly do for professional customers, and let’s be trustworthy, there are better-equipped PCs at this value level too. So my recommendation for MacEbook hunters in the UK is: Wait and see. I’ll let when this modifications.
I attempted out the Apple Watch Series 9 earlier this 12 months and beloved it. As I’m based mostly in the UK, I can not reap the benefits of the $100 discount currently being offered on the newest version in the US, however there’s excellent news for British Watch-thusiasts: you may get a cool £12 off proper now, down to £387 from £399 on Amazon UK for the 41mm model (or £407 for the 45mm). If you have got a modicum of persistence, although, I’m fairly positive we’ll see a much bigger chunk of the value knocked off over Prime Day tomorrow and Wednesday…
Oh, and it is your pleasant neighbourhood Tech Reviews Editor Erlingur right here, who’s been with you since 5pm British “Summer” Time (that is midday New York Sticky July East Coast Time).
And now for one thing far more cheap.
You can rating the brand-spanking-new iPad Air M2 with the Liquid Retina display and 128GB storage for $729, down from $799. It presents every little thing you want for a top-performing pill, and sports activities all-day battery life, does every little thing any older-gen iPad Pro (so, any non M4 one) does and appears good doing it. The one sacrifice you make right here is the restricted space for storing, however all of us use cloud storage and exterior arduous drives now anyway, do not we?
The solely different proviso right here is that this value someway solely applies to the Space Grey choice, as the Blue and Purple ones are $9 extra and the Starlight one is $20 extra. I’ll dwell.
Before I offer you the finest deal I’ve discovered for iPads to this point I wished to take a dive into the Apple Store on Amazon to discover the most loopy costly iPad Pro potential, and nonetheless got here away with a whiplash.
If you have got all the cash in the world, otherwise you want to show a really particular level to somebody (and have all the cash in the world), you may get the [takes deep breath] Apple iPad Pro 13-inch M4 mannequin with the Ultra Retina XDR show produced from nano-texture glass, 2TB of storage, a panorama 12MP entrance digital camera and 12MP again digital camera, LiDAR scanner, Wi-Fi 6E and 5G mobile reception with eSIM, together with Face ID by parting with 2,599 of your hard-earned dollars. Now I like iPads, however do I like them this a lot? Does anyone like them this a lot?
And that does not embrace the non-obligatory 2-year AppleCare+ cowl, which is one other $169.
Flippin’eck.
SOUND THE HORN OF NOTEWORTHY PRICE DROPS!
The MacEbook Pro M2 Pro will not be the newest MacEbook any extra, however lots of people confidently declare it is nonetheless the finest one (our reviewer actually beloved it). The M2 Pro chip balances comfortably on the tightrope between efficiency and (pretty cheap) value, quick sufficient to deal with skilled Final Cut Pro rendering however would not require a second mortgage like its greater Max-chipped sibling.
And now it is hit the lowest value I’ve ever seen it at on Amazon, dipping under two grand at $1,929, which quantities to a 23% low cost for all you stat nerds on the market (or simply me, a stat nerd).
iPad are fairly nice, as a result of there’s such a spread to them. The latest iPad Pro, with its frankly foolish M4 chip, is good for digital artists that need to take their artwork outdoors, on the transfer. But I like the commonplace iPad. I like having one thing that merely reveals an important image, and masses up content material good and quick.
I additionally like to have a home tab that may swap fingers, get utilized in the kitchen, ie can deal with some critical put on and tear. That’s why I’m a fan of the absolute most cost-effective iPad choice, that also presents high quality options.
Right now that is the 9th Gen iPad, currently down from $329 to $249 over at Amazon.
Not all the deals I’m seeing are for tremendous costly laptops and over-priced-yet-awesome headphones.
Take this one: You can get 6 Lightning Cable charging wires over at Amazon for $11.99 down from $12.77.
If you unfastened as a lot of these issues as I do, this can be a unbelievable deal!

The Apple AirPods Max are no doubt the finest headphones I’ve ever used… however would I spend $449 on them today?
The reply is, if I might afford it, completely sure. I’ve had them since they have been launched on December 15, 2020, they usually’re as crystal clear right this moment as they have been then, the lively noise cancellation is simply as spectacular, and I nonetheless assume they give the impression of being nice.
I’m after all not together with the completely psychological ‘case’ that they got here with. I removed mine, and changed it with a inexperienced leather-based Woolnut case that homes the headphones securely, with a pair wire bands for good measure. It’s at present going for $139 over at Amazon
If you have bagged your self an iPad not too long ago, and also you’re searching for keyboard choices, the Magic Keyboard will not be the solely method to go.
I not too long ago obtained a Fusion Keyboard in from Mǒkibo, and it is fairly cool. It’s lots lighter than the Magic Keyboard (which I even have), however it has one function that the Apple choice doesn’t – the keyboard can be a trackpad!
So you should use the keyboard as regular, after which if you drag your fingers throughout the floor of the keys, you management the cursor. I’ve had quite a lot of enjoyable with it, and although I’m not going to eliminate my Magic Keyboard any time quickly, it is undoubtedly a less expensive, lighter choice. And after I say cheaper, I actually imply it!
One of my favorite pre-Prime Day Apple deals proper now’s on the M2 Pro chipped MacEbook Pro. Let’s be clear – it isn’t for everybody. In truth, it is just for a small quantity of people that work with demanding software program. But when you are a video editor or 3D developer, the M2 Pro MacEbook is a surprising laptop computer that may cowl just about any workload.
Yes, the M3 Pro and M3 Max is barely extra highly effective, however as I’ve beforehand famous, Apple lowered the reminiscence bandwidth of the M3 Pro in contrast to this M2 Pro. It additionally has two much less efficiency cores than the M2 Pro! Long story quick, I favor the M2 Pro chipped MacEbook Pro to the most up-to-date M3 Pro lappy… and proper now you may get an important deal on an honest iteration of it over at Amazon. It’s down from $2,499 to $1,885, saving you $600.
And to kick off the deals, I’ve simply observed that at present the second technology Apple Pencil is at the identical discounted value as the first technology – it’s down to $79. That’s nearly half price!
Now, simply in case you have been questioning which of the Pencils to get… simply get the second technology mannequin. It’s extra ergonomic, and is suitable with more moderen iPads. Check out our helpful Apple Pencil 1 vs 2 article for extra on that.
And right here we go!
Although Amazon Prime Day begins tomorrow, and covers the complete of Tuesday and Wednesday, we have observed a raft of unbelievable Apple deals – sufficient to put collectively this dwell hub. We’ll be reporting on all the newest Apple deals, whether or not that is on the model new iPad Pro, or the still-excellent MacEbook Pro (M2 Pro).
We love the high quality merchandise that Apple presents creatives, so we’re eager to discover out the finest costs on the finest merchandise that we have had private expertise utilizing.
