Best Prime Day Apple deals
Apple Pencil Pro
4.5-star average rating from 966 reviews on Amazon
The Pencil Pro has some noticeable updates over the 2nd Gen version like Find My support, a new squeeze gesture, haptic feedback and much more. When you want to charge your Apple Pencil, simply attach it to the magnetic connector on the side of your tablet.
Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen)
4.6-star average rating from 1,556 reviews on Amazon
This GPS-enabled Apple Watch SE doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of the fancier Series 9 or Ultra models — no always-on display, improved touch controls or ECG sensor here — but it also comes at a lower price than those models. It also has the same watchOS interface, sleep and fitness trackers and a heart rate monitor alongside that sleek Apple design.
