Amazon Prime Day 2018 is here, and Cult of Mac is showcasing the best Prime Day deals for Apple fans. The annual sale kicks off at noon Pacific today, but some deals are already live.

Here are the best ones we’ve found so far.

About Amazon Prime Day 2018

Amazon’s massive midsummer sale is so gigantic it can’t fit into a single day — Prime Day runs for a full 36 hours. Amazon promises an “epic day and a half of our best deals, exclusively for Prime members.” In years past, we’ve seen amazing deals on everything from HomeKit-compatible smart home gear to baby wipes.

First things first: If you’re not a member of Amazon Prime, you’ll miss out on the savings, as well as all the other perks that membership provides. Amazon Prime members get fast, free shipping as well as free video and music content. Prime members even get special savings at Whole Foods Markets, now that Amazon bought the upscale grocery chain.

Get a free Amazon Prime membership to try

Amazon recently boosted the price of an annual Prime membership to $119. You’ll need to be a member to get in on the 2018 Prime Day deals. If you’re on the fence, there’s good news: You can start a 30-day free Amazon Prime trial and snag those Prime Day discounts. After the big sale, you can cancel your membership with no questions asked.

Students can also get a six-month trial (and 50 percent off Prime once the trial expires).
