Now that we know Amazon Prime Day will be coming up soon on July 8 to 11,
itΓÇÖs time to start thinking about what you may want to snag at a discount
during the sale. If you pay the $139 annual fee for Prime, sale events like
these are a great time to stock up on essentials and cross things off your
wishlist while you can save some money. Most discounts will be exclusively
available to Prime subscribers, but there are always a few that anyone
shopping on Amazon can grab. Similarly, there are always early deals in the
days and weeks leading up to Prime Day, and this year is no different. Here,
weΓÇÖve collected the best Prime Day deals you can shop for right now and
weΓÇÖll keep updating this post as we get close to Prime Day proper.

Prime Day deals: Early deals to shop now Prime Day deals under $50

Anker 313 wireless charging stand for $14 (29 percent off): One of our top
picks for the best wireless chargers, Anker's 313 stand keeps things simple
but effective. Just plop your phone down on its wide stand to get up to 10W
of fast-charging power. It supports both portrait and landscape orientation
for your phone, and it'll work with cases up to 5mm thick.

Anker 633 10K magnetic battery pack for $43 (28 percent off, Prime
exclusive): This 10K battery pack attaches magnetically to the backs of
iPhones, making it easy to recharge while on the go. It also has a built-in
kickstand for easy video watching or FaceTime calling while powering up.

Soundcore Space A40 wireless earbuds for $45 (44 percent off): The Space A40
are some of the best budget wireless earbuds you can get right now, thanks to
excellent ANC performance for their price, a pleasant sound profile, a
comfortable fit and multi-device connectivity. They also have a solid eight-
hour battery life, plus an extra 40 with their charging case.

Prime Day Apple deals

Apple AirPods 4 for $99 at Amazon ($30 off): AppleΓÇÖs wireless earbuds don't
have the best sound quality or battery life, and this entry-level model lacks
wireless charging, Find My tracking and onboard volume controls. But it still
gets you tons of Apple-friendly features ΓÇö from fast pairing with iCloud
devices to spatial audio to hands-free Siri ΓÇö and its lightweight design
should fit most ears better than previous AirPods.

Apple iPad (A16) for $299 at Amazon ($50 off): The latest base model iPad
comes with a faster A16 chip, 2GB more RAM and 128GB of storage as standard.
It earned a score of 84 in our review ΓÇö if you only need an iPad for
roaming the internet, watching shows and doing some lighter productivity
tasks, it's a good starter tablet.

Apple MacBook Air (13-inch, M4) for $849 ($150 off): The latest MacBook Air
is the top pick in our guide to the best laptops, and it earned a score of 92
in our review. It's another spec bump, but that's not a bad thing ΓÇö the
design remains exceptionally thin, light and well-built, with long battery
life and a top-notch keyboard and trackpad. Now it's a bit faster. (Though
we'd still love more ports and a refresh rate higher than 60Hz.)

Apple Mac Mini M4 for $499 ($100 off): If you prefer desktops, the upgraded
M4 Mac mini is one that wonΓÇÖt take up too much space, but will provide a
ton of power at the same time. Not only does it come with an M4 chipset, but
it also includes 16GB of RAM in the base model, plus front-facing USB-C and
headphone ports for easier access.

Apple Watch Series 10 for $299 ($100 off): We consider AppleΓÇÖs flagship
wearable to be the best smartwatch you can buy, period. It's a mostly
iterative update, with faster charging, a slightly slimmer design and a
marginally larger display than the prior Series 9. That said, it's still a
comprehensive fitness tracker, and no other smartwatch can integrate as
neatly with iPhones and other Apple devices.

Apple Pencil Pro for $99 ($30 off): The highest-end option in AppleΓÇÖs
confusing stylus lineup, the Pencil Pro supports pressure sensitivity,
wireless charging, tilt detection, haptic feedback and support for AppleΓÇÖs
double tap and squeeze gestures. ItΓÇÖs a lovely tool for intricate sketching
and note-taking, but the catch is that itΓÇÖs only compatible with the M4
iPad Pro, M2 and M3 iPad Air and most recent iPad mini.

Prime Day tech deals

Anker MagGo 3-in-1 charging station for $82 (25 percent off): A top pick in
our guide to the best multi-device wireless chargers, this Anker power
station can charge a phone, pair of earbuds and smartwatch all at once. It's
primarily built for Apple devices, with a built-in Apple Watch charger and a
neat space for AirPods. It's a solid option for frequent travelers thanks to
the fact that it folds up to roughly the size of a deck of cards when not in
use.

Amazon Fire TV Cube for $100 ($40 off): Amazon's most powerful streaming
device, the Fire TV Cube can play 4K video with Dolby Vision and HDR10+, plus
it supports Wi-Fi 6E and has a built-in Ethernet port for those who want a
hardwired connection.

Levoit Core 400S air purifier for $185 ($35 off): Our top pick for the best
air purifier, Levoit's Core 400S reliably improved air quality in our
testing, plus it has easy to use onboard controls and replaceable filters
that are not too expensive. We also found it to not be offensively loud, even
on its highest setting.

Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 for $200 ($50 off): The latest Powerbeats Pro earbuds
have a comfier design and powerful bass performance that's sure to keep you
hyped during a workout. These are Apple's first wireless earbuds with built-
in heart rate monitoring, too, but that will likely only appeal to those who
intend on using these buds primarily while working out.

What is Prime Day?

Prime Day is Amazon's members-only shopping event, which means youΓÇÖll have
to be a Prime subscriber on Prime Day to take advantage of most of the
savings. Amazon still offers a 30-day free trial to new Prime subscribers, so
you can start your free trial closer to July and participate in the event.

When is Prime Day 2025?

Amazon Prime Day 2025 will be back this year on July 8 through July 11.

How often is Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day typically comes around annually in July. In the last few
years, Amazon has also had its "Big Deal Days" in October, which is
effectively a second Prime Day and the unofficial kickoff to the holiday
shopping season.

How does Prime Day work?

Prime subscribers can go to Amazon's site on Prime Day to see all of the
exclusive deals they have access to. Prime subscribers do not have to do
anything additional to get Prime Day sales: the discounts you see on product
pages will show up in your cart automatically. If you're not a Prime
subscriber and you go to Amazon to shop on Prime Day, you'll likely see tons
of items on sale but only "with Prime;" those discounts will not be available
to those who are not active Prime subscribers.

If you donΓÇÖt pay for Prime and have no intention of doing so, you should
still check out Amazon on Prime Day for sales that are available to all
shoppers ΓÇö there are always a few of them. Plus, itΓÇÖs very likely that
other retailers like Walmart, Target and Best Buy will have their own
competing Prime Day sales during that time frame, too.
