Which Prime Day Apple deals are actually worth it? Here are the 7 products that got 4 stars or higher in our testing

Hear me out! I tested the AirTag 2 and it's really the most findable tracker ever released. What makes it superior compared to the handful of trackers I've tested is the improved Precision Finding performance thanks it a new Ultra Wideband chip. I put it to the test against the original one and it really has extended range that lets me better track down its location. You can also use your Apple Watch to find it too.

Besides my iPhone 17 Pro, the other things I carry with me when I go to work are the AirPods Pro 3. As much as I prefer the smaller and more discreet-looking Pixel Buds Pro 2, the AirPods Pro 3 offer superior noise cancellation that does a better job of drowning out the noise. It's something I easily notice while riding the subway in New York City, especially when the wheels screech along the rails. I don't hear any of those shrill tones when I'm wearing them.

Since I prefer traveling as light as possible, the 11-inch iPad Air suits me perfectly because it has everything I want in a tablet: a skinny design paired with incredible power from its M3 chip. Even you crave more utility, I highly recommend buying a keyboard case as well so that it practically transforms into a laptop.

If you want a simple smartwatch that has all the basics and doesn't cost a fortune, then check out the Apple Watch SE 3. It's under $200 right now courtesy of Amazon and I think it's more than worth it for most people. That's because it functions as an everyday fitness tracker for whenever you exercise. Plus, I really enjoy being able to keep my iPhone in my pocket for small things like notifications, replying to messages, and quickly glancing the subject lines of emails that I get.

As much as I lean on an iPad for most things, you'll get even more work accomplished with the M5-powered 14-inch version of the MacBook Pro. Compared to an iPad, this MacBook is way better suited for when I have to edit 4K videos I've captured and stitch them together for a reel.

I briefly used the iPhone Air, and if there's one thing I can tell you about it, it's that the battery life is on the shorter side. Fortunately, you can easily extend it with this MagSafe Battery specifically designed for the iPhone Air, which snaps onto the back to provide up to a 65% battery boost.
