You don’t have to be a diehard Apple fan to know that deals from the brand don’t come around all that often. While it’s still possible to find some Apple sales throughout the year, your best bet for scoring the biggest savings is striking when the shopping holiday iron is hot.

And what bigger shopping holiday (besides Black Friday) is there than Amazon Prime Day? The retail giant has officially announced that everyone’s favorite day of discounts will commence on July 11 and bring us two whole days of deals. It sounds overwhelming, we know, but we’re going to be here helping you sift through all the madness so you can focus solely on the stuff you actually want.

Prime Day hasn’t officially started yet, but that hasn’t kept the deals from rolling in. As usual, we’ve rounded up the deals that are actually noteworthy so you can avoid wasting your time on those iPads and MacBooks that have been sitting at the same “sale” price for what seems like forever now. Check back often, as we’ll be keeping track of pricing and availability changes all the way through the event.
