Amazon Prime Day deals live: even more sale discounts for Apple gear on day two
Prime Day 2 by any other name, these are the best savings to make with Amazon's two day sale event.
AirPods 2: $159 $89 at Amazon
And we're off! Gerald Lynch, Editor in Chief of iMore, sitting in front of his banker's lamp with calculator in hand, digging for the best offers from the Prime Early Access deals sale.
A nice start for audio fans up first. Want to get your hands on (or ears... with?) a pair of AirPods 2? You can make gigantic 43% saving off the usual RRP on Apple's in-ear wireless earphones, with the AirPods 2 down to just $89.99 – a huge chunk off the usual $159 asking price.
Amazon deals: iPhone deals
While the general sale items slowly start to roll in, why not consider taking a look at our bang-up-to-date iPhone deals, with some top offers on iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro:
Apple Watch Series 8: $399 $349 at Amazon
Next up, an unlikely entry into the list from the all-new Apple Watch Series 8! It's only been available to purchase for a few weeks, so we weren't expecting to see anything at all for Apple's latest smartwatch line up. But here we are!
You're looking at the GPS-only version of the Apple Watch in Midnight aluminum (with Midnight sports band), at the 41mm size. But that's on sale with a $50 saving, bringing the price down from $399 to a much more palatable $349.
Don't expect to see this brand-new smartwatch reduced by much more than that for the rest of the year.
Apple 30W USB-C charger: $49 $35.99 at Amazon
OK, no pretending a charger is the most exciting of Apple products — but if you've got no juice, you've got no gadget, right?
So if you're on the hunt for a replacement (or spare) USB-C charger for your devices, you can save a not-insignificant $13 bucks off the Apple 30W USB-C charger over at Amazon right now, where it's been reduced down from $49 to $35.99. Should work nicely with a last-gen M1 MacBook Air or iPad Pro.
Not a bad first start for Apple products, considering the sale event doesn't officially kick off until tomorrow. But what about a little further afield?
Ninendo Switch OLED White: $339 $297 at Amazon
We love some Nintendo action here at iMore, and while the Nintendo Switch 2 and / or Pro is nowhere to be seen, that latest Nintendo Switch OLED is still a rather tasty handheld thanks to its cracking 7-inch screen and improved battery life.
If you've been waiting for the right time to pick one up, there's a good offer on as part of the Amazon Prime Day Early Access sale.
You can pick up the Nintendo Switch OLED for $297.66 — a 12% / $42.24 saving over its usual $339.90 RRP price. That includes the latest LAN-supporting dock, in a sleek white finish.
It's a pity there's not a game thrown in too, but for the latest build of Nintendo's console, that's a pretty darn good price.
eReader excellence: Great Kindle deals
Kindle Paperwhite: $139 $99 at Amazon
It wouldn't be an Amazon sale without some Kindle eReader sales, and there's already a good offer on the Kindle Paperwhite to be had ahead of the full kick-off for the event.
You can pick up the Kindle Paperwhite for just $99.99 at Amazon, saving you $40 off its usual $139.99 asking price. While it won't offer the same rich media experience that a color-touchscreen iPad will, Kindle's are admittedly the superior reading experience thanks to their e-Ink screens which are much easier on the eye. Complete with a backlight and waterproofing, it's a great way to wile away a few hours with your favorite novels. If this one isn't to your liking, check out the full Kindle sale range — there are many offers to choose from.
Echo Dot: $49 $25 at Amazon
Not a fan of Apple's HomePod Mini? Amazon's Alexa is arguably the better voice assistant, compared to Siri at least, making this an attractive offer on an Echo Dot.
It's the 4th generation unit, which usually sells for $49.99, but has a giant 50% off for the Prime Early Access sale, meaning you can pick up an Echo Dot today for just $24.99.
It makes for an excellent smart home controller, letting you ask the voice assistant to playback tunes from services like Spotify, switch on and off lights around your home, adjust thermostats, set timers and much more. At $24.99 it's worth a punt, and is only lacking the 5th generation model's front-facing LED clock. It's a bargain.
TicWatch Pro 3 GPS: $299 $165 at Amazon
A few hours break for some dinner and gig tickets to see this guy... and I'm back! And this time with an Apple Watch alternative. We've already seen an unlikely Apple Watch Series 8 deal just weeks after its release... but what about a different flavor of smartwatch?
Ahead of the proper kick-off of the Amazon Prime Early Access sale, you can pick up the TicWatch Pro 3 GPS for just $164.99 – knocking $135 off the asking price. That's down from $299.99, so nearly a 50% saving on this wearable.
Making use of a Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 4100 processor and powered by Wear OS, it has an "Essential" power mode that'll give you 45 days worth of power on a single charge – sure, it'll knock some of the smart features online, but if you're planning to go off-grid with a smartwatch, that's an amazing feat without a battery top-up.
For this deal, just make sure you hit that "Apply Coupon" button on the listing, as that's what triggers the discount.
Soundbar sale
...and we're off! The Prime Early Access sale has now officially kicked into gear, and we're starting to see the big savings land for gadgets across Amazon's inventory. First up for the day is a treat for those Apple TV fans, as JBL is hugely discounting some very sweet sounding soundbars for the sale, putting some Dolby Atmos boom into your TV Plus viewing sessions — or any other streaming service for that matter.
WD 6TB Elements Desktop Drive + 4TB My Passport Portable Drive: $449.99 $219.98 at Amazon
One of the most expensive upgrades you can make at the point of purchase with a new MacBook is storage space — Apple charges a premium for its built-in SSD upgrades, and it's a near impossible job to increase it later on. So getting some extra external space for your MacBook is a must — and this Prime Early Access sale offer on a Western Digital drive double whammy is a steal.
Combining two top-quality Western Digital drives in the form of the Elements Desktop and Passport Portable, this bundle offers 6TB and 4TB respectively for a 10TB total of USB 3.0 storage satisfaction. That's a saving of almost $230 against the usual combined price for both devices, and comes with the peace of mind that the Western Digital brand brings with it, given it's going to be storing your precious files, photos and documents.
Even if Amazon wrapped up the sale at this early point in the day, it'd already be a much, much better offering for Apple fans than what was on sale back in the summer. Our own Bryan Wolfe lamented just how bad this summer's original Amazon Prime Sale was for Apple fans in this great post. Thankfully, we're seeing much more joy from this pre-Black Friday deals showcase.
MacBook Air M1 | $999 now $799 at Amazon
Just take this MacBook Air M1 deal currently running at Amazon's sale — it's a bargain! Yes, this year's M2 MacBook Air is superior for a number of reasons (let our M2 MacBook Air review refresh you on why), but it's literally hundreds of dollars more, for marginal performance gains. If you want a MacBook on a budget, this is a great place to start.
The perfect MacBook for everyone, the MacBook Air M1 packs in some great features for an excellent price. The Retina display is still incredible, and the M1 chip continues to show just how strong Apple silicon is. The keyboard is nice and clicky, and the thin aluminum shell makes it eminently skippable into most bags and backpacks. This new price in the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale it is now cheaper than its been all year, matching last years Black Friday price. This could be the last time that the laptop is included in a sale like this, and we can't see it getting any cheaper than it is now.
Apple Watch Series 8: $399 $349 at Amazon
For those that missed it yesterday, the the all-new Apple Watch Series 8 deal is still going strong! Despite only going on sale a couple of weeks ago, there's already a $50 saving to be had, bringing the price down from $399 to a much more palatable $349.
Going live yesterday, we wouldn't have been surprised to see this deal sell out already, so it's worth diving on now if you're tempted, it's unlikely to last for very long.
AirPods Pro 2: $249 $234 at Amazon
Here's another shock price drop — we only reviewed them a couple of weeks back, but the fresh-off-the-production line, brand new AirPods Pro 2 are now reduced to a new low of $234, knocking $15 off the asking price. It's a small saving, but the biggest we've seen yet on the brand new product, so definitely the way to go if you're thinking about purchasing them.
This may not be one of the biggest discounts in the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale, but it is one of the most surprising. This $15 discount brings the AirPods Pro 2 down to their lowest price ever, which considering how little time they've been out for is no mean feat. The AirPods Pro 2 brought some nice improvements to the table over their predecessors - improved noise canceling and better battery life to name but a few. We loved them in our review - and we think you will too. Save $15 in the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale.
Apple TV 4K: $179 $109 at Amazon
With no major upgrades on the horizon, there has never been a better time to snag the Apple TV 4K 2021 than right now in the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale. You can get a whopping 39% off both the 32GB and 64GB models. That means prices of just $109 and $129 respectively.
That's a staggering $70 off and makes the Apple TV a no brainer as the hub of your home entertainment system. In our Apple TV 4K review we absolutely loved the device thanks to its sleek new remote and great capability, but its hefty price tag made it a difficult upgrade to justify for many users. At this Prime Day Early Access Price however, it is simply too good to miss.
Save big on Beats with these massive discounts on Apple's Beats Studio 3 and Beats Fit Pro headphones. Studio 3 might be a bit on the older side, but they still retail for $350, right now however you can score them for just $170.
Elsewhere, the Beats Fit Pro, a fantastic alternative to Apple's AirPods Pro are just $149 at Amazon instead of $199.
The brilliant Beats Studio Buds are also down to just $99 instead of $150.
Beats X Kim Kardashian Beats Fit Pro: $199 $179 at Amazon
We've got a lot of love for this Kim Kardashian Beats Fit Pro collaboration, giving a nude-look for skin tones not regularly supported in wearable gadgetry. With a significant $20 saving (and these buds regularly selling out), this is a great chance to pick up some excellent-sounding earbuds.
Kim Kardashian isn't particularly well known for making anything that sounds like, well, anything, so these really came out of nowhere. They do sound good, however, because they're modern Beats, and the new skin tone colors are great for people who want their Beats to blend in when they wear them at the gym. They are well known for selling out, so get them quick to avoid disappointment.
HomeKit smart home deals
Got a space-age Jetsons house packed to the rafters with web-connected gadgetry? Want to automate it even further? There's a bunch of excellent Siri-powered smart home HomeKit stuff to pick up from the Amazon sale today. Check out our top picks below, from cameras to light strips:
iPad 10.2-inch: $329 $269 at Amazon
There's a pretty solid deal on the 10.2-inch iPad at the moment, with a nice $60 off full price. That's the lowest price we've ever seen the tablet and one we're not sure you'll see again for a while yet.
The base model iPad is certainly no slouch - an A15 Bionic chip will keep the tablet speedy for some time to come, along with a colorful and pin-sharp Retina display to ensure your content looks fantastic. The camera on the back is good enough for everyday use, and the front camera is perfect for facetime.
It's got everything you need in a tablet, like full AppStore support, but also some extras like Touch ID and Apple Pencil support. It's not super expensive at the best of times, but at the moment, you'll save a chunk in the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale. There are discounts on the whole range, with savings of up to $60 if you want a cellular version or some more storage.
The iPad 9 is due for an upgrade, but it remains the best and cheapest way to enter Apple's tablet world and the ecosystem. With the beloved Touch ID and Home Button design and a headphone jack, the tablet is perfect for kids and learning, the elderly, or anyone in between who just wants a cheap way to watch movies and surf the web.
Not an Amazon Prime member but don't want to miss out on the deals? Anyone can get a whopping $100 off the iPad mini on Amazon right now, a fantastic price starting at just $399. The device is only a year old and comes with a great processor, awesome display, Touch ID, a 12MP camera, and more.

Logitech Combo Touch iPad Pro 12.9: $229 $169 at Amazon
Apple's Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro is fantastic, but it's also very expensive. Right now you can swipe this fabulous Logitech alternative for just $169 instead of $229.

Your iPhone isn't just a device to call and text; it's often the best gaming platform you have in your pocket.

Arlo Video Doorbell: $119 $99 at Amazon
Beefing up your home security is always a good idea, and you can easily do so by utilizing Homekit. A great place to start is a video doorbell which will allow you to see and record who comes to your door.
The Arlo Video Doorbell is on sale for only $99, records excellent video quality, and is Homekit compatible. It's the perfect doorbell to use in your Apple smart home.
The Arlo Video Doorbell captures the action outside of the home with HD-quality visuals at a maximum resolution of 1536 x 1536. Arlo's unique square resolution, labeled as 1:1 by the company, trades a more common wider field of view for the ability to better see the ground (and packages) in front of it. The doorbell also supports HDR, utilizes infrared for night vision, and has a motion sensor that spans 110 degrees horizontally. An onboard microphone and speaker allow for 2-way audio; for security, the speaker can play a series of siren tones on demand. It's a great way to make your home a little more secure.
Garmin Fenix 6: $599 $398 at Amazon
Don't buy an $800 Apple Watch Ultra when you can get this Garmin Smartwatch for half the price. With built-in sports tracking like Swimming, biking, running, hiking, and much more, Garmin is known for being one of the best intelligent sport watch makers. Plus, well the Apple Watch Ultra boasts multi-day battery life; the 14-day-battery life of the Garmin Fenix 6 blows it out of the water.

Did you recently upgrade your iPhone? That probably means you're looking for a new case. A case is an excellent investment to keep your iPhone looking fresh, but it's one of the best ways to protect your phone from scratches and dings.
There's no reason to be without a case when Otterbox, LifeProof, and Casetify are discounting their cases for the Amazon Prime Early Access sale. Save big money now, and then save your iPhone from damage later.
Anker 622 MagGo: $59 $47 at Amazon
Keeping your iPhone juiced up is important and with MagSafe on the latest iPhones, it's never been easy to charge up your phone when it's dying. Stop messing around with charging cables, dongles, and messy connections, get the Anker 622 MagGo for 20% off, thanks to Amazon's sale.
Our most significant critique of Anker's MagGo 622 when we reviewed it was the fact that it's priced a little higher than the competition, which is why this sale is perfect. If you want a well-designed, fast-charging power bank that works with MagSafe, Anker's MagGo 622 is a top choice. Plus, the integrated kickstand sets it apart from the rest.
Satechi Slim X2: $79 $61 at Amazon
Nobody knows the woes of using Apple's Magic Keyboard for Mac better than we here at iMore. It still charges via Lightning, the keys are a little mushy, and the standard one doesn't even come with a number pad. This Prime Day, don't settle for the Magic Keyboard get the Satechi Slim X2 for over 20% off at Amazon.
With a full numeric keypad, great typing feel, fantastic battery life, and wonderful aesthetic, the Satechi Slim X2 for Mac is an excellent keyboard for people who aren't happy with the butterfly-switch keyboard on their MacBook or the compact design of the Magic Keyboard. It's fully backlit with 10 different brightness settings, so you can always see what keys you're hitting. Plus, being able to be connected to four devices at once and easily switch with just the hit of a button is perfect for using the keyboard with all your Apple devices.
LG C2 OLED (55-inch): $1,799 $1,347 at Amazon
The LG C2 OLED is the best TV money can buy, offering the best picture quality you can get for your home theater. Plus, it's an amazing Tv to hook up your favorite gaming system because of its low input lag and 4K at 120FPS support.
Honestly, we don't even have much to say about this deal — it's just that amazing.
Stainless Steel Apple Watch Series 7 [GPS + Cellular 45mm]: $749 $620 at Amazon
Let's be honest, the difference between the Apple Watch Series 8 and last year's Apple Watch Series 7 is very minimal. So minimal in fact, that taken the opportunity to buy the Stainless Steel finish on a Apple Watch Series 7 for the Prime Day sale is the best idea.
This is the perfect deal for people who were thinking of getting the Apple Watch Series 8 in the stainless steel finish, because the Series 7 is just as good as the Series 8. You will miss out on crash detection and the new temperature sensor, but that's it. Everything else the Series 7 will handle just fine. So save yourself some money, and treat yourself to that beautiful and durable stainless steel finish.
Ready for day two, folks? Gerald Lynch back here for some more deal hunting as the Amazon Prime Early Access sale rolls into its final day...
Well, we say final day, but very often these Amazon deal events hang over for several days as retailers try to shift a little more outgoing stock before new lines come in. But expect the best of the offers to dry up today for sure.
Samsung 85-Inch Class The Frame QLED LS03B 4K TV: $4,495 $3,497 at Amazon
So let's kick things off with a real treat today. If you fancy yourself as a TV addict... why not take a wall out of your house and squeeze a giant 85-inch set in? You can save almost $1000 on this Samsung QLED 4K TV, bringing its price down to $3,497 and making it almost (almost!) affordable. Go on, live a little...
Samsung's The Frame TV line comes with an Art Mode and matte display showing works of art when it's not on to better blend in with the decor of your home. Important, seeing as this 85-inch set is otherwise just going to be a black slab against your wall when off otherwise! But with QLED tech and a 4K resolution, it should shine when beaming out Apple TV Plus movies and shows.
Zotac RTX 3090 Trinity OC 24GB: $1,182 $869.99 at Amazon
While we're talking luxury, if you're a gamer (and we're not talking Apple Arcade here) that's been on the hunt for a GPU through the card drought, you'll be pleased to see the still-excellent 3xxx series from Nvidia is finally purchasable without much effort — and now even sold at a discount! Yes that's because the 4xxx series has now reared its head, but the 3090 cards are still ridiculously powerful.
This overclocked RTX 3090, made by Nvidia partner Zotac, will see you hitting high frame rates at 4K in even demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077, and currently has $300 knocked off its asking price, bringing it down to a palatable $869.99.
A high-end graphics card for the discerning PC gamer, this Zotac RTX 3090 has finally hit an almost affordable price point. It's at least $100 cheaper than we've seen it in recent months, and would be an excellent heart for a 4K-stomping gaming rig.
Right, with those excesses out of the way, what have we got in terms of Apple goodies today?
Apple iPad Air (5th gen): $599 $518 at Amazon
First out of the blocks in terms of top Apple deals today from the Prime Early Access sale is this offer on an iPad Air 5th generation — that's a 2022 model, so still very new despite the discount on offer.
It's down from $599 to just $518.99, an $80 / 13% saving.
It's the entry level model, but its specs are still pretty decent. A Wi-Fi and 64GB configuration, the 10.9-inch tablet is rocking the same M1 chipset you'd find in the current top-end iPad Pro models, and has only been surpassed by this year's MacBook chipsets. It's a very powerful tablet indeed, meaning you can get some real work done on it (provided the storage limitations don't sting too much). Well worth a look.
Bose QC45: $329 $229 at Amazon
Still not had enough of the Prime Day deals? Good, because we certainly haven't. Here's a pair of some of the best noise-canceling headphones from audio giants Bose. The QC45s are a little more understated than the competition and, unlike many others, come with buttons on the earcups. Hear that headphone manufacturers? BUTTONS. Not touch controls.
This deal sees them at their lowest price ever, so you're getting one of the best deals out there with this one - you'll save around $100.
Razer Kishi Mobile controller for iPhone: $45 $99 at Amazon
Half price on the best iPhone controller that money can buy? You don't have to tell us twice. The Razer Kishi is perfect for gaming on your iPhone, be it on the App Store, Apple Arcade, or of course cloud gaming on Xbox and beyond. The Kishi scored extremely well in our Razer Kishi Review thanks to its responsive, clicky buttons, great design, Made for iPhone charging, and more.
Jabra Evolve2 65 MS Wireless Headset with Link380a $263 now $168 at Amazon
Not the most exciting item on the list today, but a very useful one for the home office, and with a cracking saving to be made. Jabra's Evolve2 65 MS Wireless headset is purpose built for crystal clear Teams or Zoom calls, and will ensure you don't miss a word — nor are misheard — during important work meetings. Wireless with a boom mic and optional USB-A and USB-C connections, it'll get the job done.

Apple Watch deals have been the star of the show so far at the Prime Early Access sale — who knew the Series 8 would get a discount so soon after release, knocking $50 off the asking price! If you want a quick look at the best offers we've seen so far in one place, check out the links below:
- Apple Watch Series 8: $349 at Amazon
- Apple Watch Series 7 Cellular: $419 at Amazon
- Apple Watch SE 2021 Cellular: $249 at Amazon
- Apple Watch Ultra: $799 at Amazon
Fitbit Versa 3: was $229.95, now $131.19
If an Apple Watch is still a bit rich for you, but you're still hankering for a fitness buddy on your wrist, try the Fitbit route. The Fitbit Versa 3 is a great option, with built-in GPS, heart rate monitor, calorie and step tracking, plus media playback control from the likes of Spotify. It's not as advanced as an Apple Watch, but if your interests are purely fitness based, it might be a great, cheaper alternative for you.
MacBook Air M1 | $999 now $799 at Amazon
The 2020 M1 MacBook Air is still an absolutely amazing machine, and no one can argue that. The ultra-portable laptop is slim and sleek while having enough power inside to easily handle all your daily tasks.
This particular model comes with 256GB of SSD storage and staggering battery life thanks to the power efficiency of M1, up to 18 hours of usage at a push. This is the best deal for anyone looking to upgrade their older Intel MacBook.
AirPods Pro 2 | $249 now $234 at Amazon
You may wonder why we would highlight a deal of only $15 off, but if you've followed Apple as long as we have, you'd know that sales on new items are rare. Even from Amazon (which loves discounting everything), when an Apple Product is only a few months old (weeks in this case), you know you'll pay the total price.
That's why we think snagging a pair of AirPods Pro 2 with increased battery life, improved sound performance, and the all-new Adaptive Transparency features are one of the best Apple deals you'll find today.
Bose NC700 | $379 $269 at Amazon
In the Bose Headphone lineup, the NC700 are the prettier option. And they are very attractive headphones with a sweeping band and slick-looking earcups. They also happen to sound really good and block a great deal of noise when the NC in the name is turned on. Created with a more designer look in mind, they also usually come with a more designer price stage - although this Prime Early Access sale has brought the price down significantly. There's a $110 reduction, making them $269, and their lowest price ever.
Marshall Emberton | $169 now $114 at Amazon
We love the Marshall Emberton Bluetooth speaker here at iMore. It's retro, but its classic design gives it an iconic look, while the sound it manages to pump out is pretty damn good.
If you enjoy a powerful sound and long battery life (a must in a good Bluetooth speaker), then picking up a Marshall Emberton for 33% off is a no-brainer.
• 2021 Apple TV 4K (32GB) | $179 $110 at Amazon
• 2021 Apple TV 4K (64GB)| $199 $130 at Amazon
The Apple TV does everything you could want a streamer to do. It’ll run Apple Arcade games, play all your favorite Apple TV+ content, and look good doing it. Yes, it is a lot more expensive than its competitors, but it's also a whole lot more premium, with its premium aluminum casing and excellent, solid remote control with Siri built-in. When it drops in price, it's well worth picking one up - it's a stunning little streamer.
Get the 32GB model for nearly 40% off, or spring for all the storage you can get and save 35%!
iPad Air 2022 | $599 $518 at Amazon
The iPad Air is a very powerful piece of mobile tech. It's run by an M1 chip that's similar to what you might find in one of Apple's MacBook line-ups and features a 10.9-inch edge-to-edge Liquid Retina display. Its sleek industrial design is available in a range of cool colors, and if you want one, then Amazon currently has $80 off the full price!
WD 6TB Elements Desktop Drive + 4TB My Passport Portable Drive: $449.99 $219.98 at Amazon
One of the most expensive upgrades you can make at the point of purchase with a new MacBook is storage space — Apple charges a premium for its built-in SSD upgrades, and it's a near-impossible job to increase it later on. So getting some extra external space for your MacBook is a must — and this Prime Early Access sale offer on a Western Digital drive double whammy is a steal.
Combining two top-quality Western Digital drives in the form of the Elements Desktop and Passport Portable, this bundle offers 6TB and 4TB, respectively for a 10TB total of USB 3.0 storage satisfaction. That's a saving of almost $230 against the usual combined price for both devices and comes with the peace of mind that the Western Digital brand brings with it, given it's going to be storing your precious files, photos and documents.
Apple Watch Series 8: $399 $349 at Amazon
Next up, an unlikely entry into the list from the all-new Apple Watch Series 8(opens in new tab)! It's only been available to purchase for a few weeks, so we weren't expecting to see anything at all for Apple's latest smartwatch line up. But here we are!
You're looking at the GPS-only version of the Apple Watch in Midnight aluminum (with Midnight sports band), at the 41mm size. But that's on sale with a $50 saving(opens in new tab), bringing the price down from $399 to a much more palatable $349(opens in new tab).
Don't expect to see this brand-new smartwatch reduced by much more than that for the rest of the year.

This is an absolute steal at this price for a TV that is often compared to the excellent LG OLED C2. Its OLED panel is perfect for HDr content thanks to its insanely rich contrast, and the low input lag makes it a great TV for gaming of all kinds.
