Amazon Prime Big Deal Days Sale Goes Live With Apple, TV and Appliance Discounts

TechRadar reported that many of the deals may be exclusive to Amazon Prime members. Shoppers who are not members can get a 30-day Amazon Prime free trial to access the sale. The trial includes the same benefits as paid membership, such as free delivery and access to Prime Video, Prime Music and Prime Gaming, and can be canceled at any time to avoid the regular fee of $14.99 or £8.99 per month, according to TechRadar.

The sale spans several categories, according to TechRadar's roundup. Amazon devices, including Fire Sticks and Echo, start at $18. Amazon Haul has viral gadgets, technology and appliances from $1.36. Apple products, including MacBooks, AirPods and AirTags, start at $28. Cheap smart TVs start at $69.99. Headphones include 50% off Beats, Bose and Samsung models. Laptops from Apple, HP and Dell start at $199. Mattresses from Sealy, Serta and others start at $89. Smartwatches are up to 36% off from Garmin and Apple. Vacuums from Dyson, Shark and Bissell start at $49.

Among the technology deals, TechRadar said the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro is at its lowest price yet. It has a 144Hz AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset and a modern, unique design. Amazon has a rare $50 discount on the all-new Apple Watch Series 12, bringing it to a record-low $349.99, though the discount applies only to the model with the Light Gold Aluminum Case and Sand Sport Band. The Apple Watch 12 features new Apple silicon and health sensors for advanced heart rate, workout and sleep tracking. The Apple Watch SE 3 also has a $50 discount. TechRadar said the Apple Watch SE 2 currently holds the position as the best budget smartwatch, but the SE 3 more than matches it and is a smarter buy while on sale.

In audio, the Sony WH-1000XM6 are down to a record-low price for Amazon Prime Day, according to TechRadar, which recommends them highly for their all-round sound, noise cancellation and foldable design. Apple's premium buds have improved active noise cancellation, outstanding audio, a comfortable in-ear design, live translation and heart-rate tracking. TechRadar said today's deal is the best price available on Apple's newest AirPods. The M5 Air has a $150 discount, addressing TechRadar's main complaint that it was pricier than the previous model. The deal includes the latest chipset, 16GB of RAM and a larger 512GB SSD, with a price that TechRadar says arguably challenges even the budget MacBook Neo on value.

For televisions, the 65-inch Amazon Ember Omni Mini-LED TV is down to a record-low $879.97, according to TechRadar. It delivers solid brightness and contrast, bold colors and a ready-to-use sports mode that allows sports viewing with minimal setup. It also offers gaming features including 4K, 144Hz, VRR, ALLM and Dolby Vision support. TechRadar said its list of best Amazon deals is expected to grow as more bargains are spotted.
