'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form .

I've rounded up some of the hottest deals I've spotted so far on AirPods, MacBooks, iPads, and more. I'll be checking in on these deals ahead of and throughout Amazon's Prime Day to spot when prices go low. Historically, we've seen some sweet discounts on Apple products during these events. You could actually save a good chunk of money when shopping Apple products during Prime Day, but I'll guide you through the most noteworthy and shrug-worthy deals to pay attention to and pass.
These aren't Apple's best AirPods, but they're some of the cheapest -- and even cheaper with this deal. They're also our pick for the best AirPods for beginners on a budget.

These are Apple's best AirPods. The noise cancellation is impressive and the battery lasts a good eight hours before recharging. They are also Apple's first AirPods to get heart rate sensors in the ears, so you no longer need an Apple Watch to record your heart rate while exercising.
