More Apple Prime Day sales and deals
Does Apple offer Prime Day sales?
It's important to note that, while the Apple Store doesn't run sales for the Amazon Prime Day (and rarely offers discounts outside of educational promos), deals on Apple devices and accessories can be found from authorized retailers, like Amazon during this sale.
The best deals typically accompany major events. In addition to Amazon's Prime Day sales, you can also find discounted Apple products in competing sales from other retailers, including Best Buy and Walmart, making it an excellent time to shop for Apple sales on several devices. If you're looking to spend less, try forgoing the latest releases. You'll find bigger discounts on previous-generation models or refurbished devices.
Should I wait until Prime Day for deals on Apple products?
Prime Day sales officially kick off on July 8, but you don't have to wait until then to grab these deals. There are plenty of deals currently live as a result of leftover Independence Day sales merging with early Prime Day deals, including some of the best prices we'll see all year. The two sales are basically merging into one big discount extravaganza given their proximity on the calendar this year.
Fourth of July sales offered more variety in retailers, although Amazon still had most of the best deals. There are also plenty of non-Amazon retailers that will keep their sales rolling through mid-July, often directly competing with Amazon Prime prices.
How does CNET select the best Prime Day deals?
Our team of expert shoppers and deal hunters has spent years helping buyers understand which major sales and deals are legitimately good and which are more routine. That includes Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day and countless other shopping events. We've gotten good at weeding out scams and superficial deals on tech of every kind, so you see only the best offers, including Apple deals.
At CNET, we look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time when choosing a deal to show you.

Save $150 on the Sony WH-1000XM4 — these are the ANC headphones to buy this Prime Day
Is it Prime Day yet? No. Has that stopped some of the coolest headphones around from dropping in price? Also no. Latest to recieve a large discount are the excellent Sony WH-1000XM4. They've just got a $150 discount at Amazon, bringing them down to just $194. That's a pretty impressive saving, and makes them a great option if you're looking for some new headphones this Prime Day. They might not be the newest headphones on the block, but they've got it where it counts. They earned a 4.5 star review when we tested them, thanks to the game-changing ANC and very good sound quality. Their case is better than both the newer options in the family, and they're potentially more comfortable as well. This $150 saving is one of the biggest they've ever recieved. The Sony WH-1000XM4 are not as new as their more recently released cousins, but they're still a great pair of headphones. They really put Sony on the ANC map, laying out the groundwork that the XM5 and XM6 headphones have run with for the last few years. In some ways, they might even be a better pair of cans than their newer compatriots. They feature similarly excellent ANC, for example, but they cost a whole lot less thanks to their age. Battery life is good with 30 hours on tap (the same as the XM5 and the XM6), and 10 minutes of charging brings you 5 hours of extra staying power in a pinch. They're comfortable too, thanks to a thick headband and some very nice ear cushions to keep them moulded around your ears. Sound is very good, as you might expect, with an emphasis on the low end that many will appreciate. They're a very solid pair of headphones at full price, let alone when there's a $150 discount at the table. If you're looking for a new pair of headphones over Prime Day, you should probably just skip the XM5 and the XM6, unless they receive truly unreasonable discounts. This is a great pair of headphones at an excellent price, and they're no less excellent than they were when they were first released.

Short-Dated Treasuries Outperform as US Tightens Screws on Trade
(Bloomberg) -- Short-dated Treasuries outperformed at the start of a key week for global trade, with US President Donald Trump intensifying pressure on other countries to strike trade deals ahead of a Wednesday deadline. Trump's Gilded Design Style May Be Gaudy. But Don't Call it 'Rococo.' Foreign Buyers Swoop on Cape Town Homes, Pricing Out Locals Are Tourists Ruining Europe? How Locals Are Pushing Back Massachusetts to Follow NYC in Making Landlords Pay Broker Fees NYC Commutes Resume After Midtown Bus Terminal Crash Chaos The US two-year yield fell by as much as three basis points to 3.85% as trading resumed following Friday's US public holiday, while the 10-year yield rose one basis point to 4.36%. The dollar rose against most major peers. Traders are hoping that the week will finally bring some clarity on where trade tariffs will settle, with only a handful of countries including the UK striking deals so far. The 90 day period of universally lower tariffs is set to expire on Wednesday and Trump has indicated that the US will send letters from today informing various countries of unilateral tariff rates. 'Uncertainty has increased ahead of July 9 trade deal deadline as investors are starting to gradually price in the risk that President Trump could once again escalate global trade tensions and thus deal a blow to the global economic outlook,' said Valentin Marinov, head of G10 FX research and strategy at Credit Agricole. Trump has said trading partners can expect a rate anywhere between 10% and 70% — implying some may have to shoulder higher tariffs than expected — though he suggested some deals are in the offing, too. Adding to the uncertainty, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent indicated some countries lacking an agreement by Wednesday's deadline will have the option of a three-week extension to negotiate. The dollar, which has often previously fallen on tariff concerns, was stronger against most major global partners on Monday. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index rose as much as 0.5%, though remains near its lowest levels since early 2022 after sliding almost 11% this year. 'We have a truce with China, and for the rest, it is a question of whether last-minute deals are struck, whether tariffs are substantially increased or whether fresh extensions are announced. All seem possible,' said Chris Turner, head of FX strategy at ING. The US two-year yield, though modestly lower on Monday, remained more than 10 basis points higher than a week ago. Stronger-than-expected payrolls data last week implied the Federal Reserve can hold interest-rates for longer, sending yields surging. Money markets are only fully pricing the next interest rate cut — which would be the first this year — by October. Federal Reserve meeting minutes from June, due to be published Wednesday, will offer further insight into officials' stance on the inflationary and growth outlooks. Longer-dated Treasuries are expected to remain under pressure after Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill' was signed into law last week. The bill, the centerpiece of the President's second-term agenda, extends 2017 tax cuts and will add an estimated $3.4 trillion to US deficits over the next decade. Vincent Mortier, chief investment officer at Amundi SA, one of Europe's largest asset managers, said the bill's detrimental impact on the US fiscal deficit matters more than tariffs, the cost of which 'will be borne by many players'. 'The sustainability of the US debt trajectory will start to be questioned,' he said in an interview with Bloomberg TV on Monday. 'More and more investors will try to hedge or to diversify away — slowly but surely — from the US dollar.' The firm is bearish on the greenback. --With assistance from Naomi Tajitsu.
