While it's still possible to find some Apple sales throughout the year, your best bet for scoring the biggest savings is striking when the shopping holiday iron is hot.
And what bigger shopping holiday (besides Black Friday) is there than Amazon Prime Day? The retail giant has officially announced that everyone's favorite day of discounts will commence on July 11 and bring us two whole days of deals. It sounds overwhelming, we know, but we're going to be here helping you sift through all the madness so you can focus solely on the stuff you actually want.
