Here's what five Apple experts actually bought on Prime Day

imore prime day

Here at iMore, we spend our entire lives writing about Apple products, hardware, and software. We also spend countless hours testing great products, so we know a thing or two about a thing or too. It's very easy for us to recommend deals, especially for products that we review as part of our day jobs. But what you really want to know about is the products iMore's team are actually buying.

So in the spirit of putting our money where our mouth is, here's everything that we actually bought on Prime Day. And yes, there are definitely a few surprises. 

Stephen - News Editor

I bought my Mum an M1 MacBook Air before I'd even got out of bed on Tuesday. It's the best MacBook money can buy on Prime Day, with potent Apple silicon and great battery life. 

My wife and I have a DSLR camera, and everyone keeps telling us to buy this 50mm Canon lens, which is great for portrait photography. It's usually about £110-120, but we managed to snag it for just £75. 

Tammy Rogers - Senior Staff Writer

Tammy's an audiophile, so it's no surprise that her pick is these stunning Sennheiser HD headphones. They're wired and are full of fancy words and features like optimized surround, transducer airflow, vented magnet system, and voice coil. Delightful. 

John-Anthony Disotto - How-to Editor

The Amazon Echo Pop is a lovely little speaker for the bedroom and small spaces. Even though his favorite color is yellow, JAD has picked up a Lavender Bloom one at more than half price for the purple nightstand in his bedroom. 

Daryl Baxter - Features Editor

Daryl, who clearly has too much time and money on his hands, bought not one, two, three, four, or five items but six different Prime Day deals. I'll spare you the essential oils and Irn Bru, the diffuser, and the amazing Air Fryer from Ninja that is sadly out of stock. Daryl has snatched himself some AirPods Pro 2 for just £209 instead of the usual price of £250 — AirPods Pro 2 have enjoyed great deals all Prime Day and are at their lowest price ever. 

Daryl has also scooped himself a fantastic Day One Steelbook Edition of Sonic Frontiers for PS5. 

Gerald Lynch - Editor-in-Chief

Notorious miser and cheapskate Gerald Lynch didn't buy anything during Prime Day except a telescopic window cleaning kit, and nobody cares about that. However, Gerald did indulge himself in everything you can get for free on Prime Day. To that effect, he's now the proud owner of both Baldur's Gate 2, Star Wars Force Unleashed, and some armor for his horse in Diablo 4. More like Amazon Prime Neigh, eh?
