Amazon Prime Day is a great time to score stellar deals on Amazon devices, but it also provides a rare opportunity to purchase pricey Apple products for a lot less. Right now, for example, you can save big on Apple's AirPods Pro and the third-gen AirPods models, as Amazon is offering both to Prime members for nearly their lowest price to date. If you're not in the market for a pair of true wireless earbuds, however, fret not, as you can also take advantage of deals on the latest Apple Watch, MacBook Air, and a range of other Apple products.

Below, we've listed some of the best Apple deals you can get this Prime Day. If you're interested in sales going on outside of the Apple ecosystem, you can also check out our guide to the best Prime...

These are the best Prime Day 2022 phone deals

The best phone prices undeniably come from wireless carriers — but they also come with a lot of strings attached, like lengthy contracts and requirements to stay on expensive unlimited plans. Buying unlocked means that you aren't tied to a particular carrier or plan, and that's why we recommend purchasing a phone that way if you can. Unfortunately, it also means missing out on the "free" phone offer.

While Amazon isn't giving out any free phones on Prime Day, you'll find the next best thing: significant discounts on current models, with no contract or trade-in required. Here you'll find the very best wireless deals on Prime Day, from accessories to flagships to 4G-only phones, with no strings in sight.

Best Buy, along with a host of other retailers, is getting in on the action to take a bite out of Amazon Prime Day. The retailer's ongoing "Black Friday in July" promotion is bringing sweeping discounts on a wide array of awesome tech, including laptops, gaming keyboards, and noise-canceling headphones. The event runs from now through Wednesday, July 13th — the same Prime Day ends — so it's worth checking back here if Amazon doesn't have what you're looking for. It's also worth noting that Best Buy has a generous price-matching policy, so if you prefer to buy from a brick-and-mortar retailer but see a better price elsewhere, it's worth looking into.

We'll continue to update this page with new deals as they become available, in addition...

Welcome to our repository of only the best Amazon Prime Day 2022 deals for Prime members. What will you find in here? You'll find big discounts on tech products that we actually like, and other Verge-y stuff that we feel comfortable recommending based on specs and price. What you won't find are bad, also-ran deals that appear at several other times of the year. You don't have time for that, and we don't have time for that, either. That criteria means we're trying to keep the list trim to make it easier to peruse.

If you aren't ready to shop Prime Day 2022 deals today, fret not, as many of them should last through Wednesday, July 13. And we'll be updating this post throughout the big sale event, with the freshest and best deals occupying...

The best anti-Prime Day deals happening at Walmart

We're in the midst of Amazon Prime Day, and yet some of the best Prime Day deals to be had aren't on Amazon's site at all. While Best Buy is calling its sales "Black Friday in July" — which makes even less sense than calling a two-day event Prime Day, singular — Walmart is running deals of its own. It's commonplace to see Walmart and the others matching many of the deals Amazon throws out there, as well as promoting some unique ones of its own.

Some of these deals can be a little unexpected and especially good, while some are just what we'd call a fine discount on any other day of the year. However, if you happen to be a Walmart Plus subscriber, there may be added incentive to find these deals at your retailer of choice, like taking...
