AirPods and a number of Beats are on sale, with Apple deals expected to sell out quickly.Kara Birnbaum / NBCOctober Prime Day (technically called Prime Big Deal Days) is happening now through October 7, offering discounts on a number of Apple products, exclusive to Prime members. And though Apple products rarely go on sale, there are a number of popular items currently marked down. Some of the best deals include AirPods and the Apple Watch SE for $50 off.

I frequently cover shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday as a commerce editor for NBC Select, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. I spent days combing through tons of discounts to find the best Prime Day Apple deals — each one I recommend below is highly rated and 20% off or more, as well as at its lowest price in at least three months.

I’ll frequently update this list throughout Amazon Prime Day, so come back to check for new additions.

Paired with a newer iPhone, Live Translation lets you hold a conversation across languages, with the translation played right in your ears.
