We're only a few days out from Amazon's October Prime Day, and you and I both know Apple deals will be hot commodity during the event. That's why I recommend jumping on these early deals ASAP.

Right now you can get the iPhone 16 for $0.01 with Unlimited for $65/month at Amazon. It's pretty tough to beat getting the new iPhone with an upfront cost of just one cent. Plus, the just-released AirPods 4 are on sale for $119 at Amazon ($10 off.)

Keep scrolling to see my favorite Apple deals ahead of Prime Day. For more ways to save, see our Apple promo codes guide, and check out the items I'd get in Lululemon's 'We Made Too Much' section from $9.
