Amazon Prime Day 2024 dates announced: The best early Prime Day deals you can shop ahead of the summer event

A four-pack of Apple AirTags is on sale for $80 right now, bringing the price of each to just $20. We named the AirTag the best Bluetooth tracker for iPhone users in our guide to those keychains, thanks to Apple’s massive search network that calls all nearby iPhones to anonymously search for your lost stuff.

The latest stylus for the iPad, the Apple Pencil Pro, is currently on sale for $119 at Amazon. That’s just $10 off its original price, but it happens to be the first discount on the new accessory since its launch last month. The new Pencil Pro recognizes squeezes, which can trigger actions like opening tool palettes and app-specific shortcuts, and gives you haptic feedback as you use it. It can also detect the movement of the barrel for added precision when drawing.

Apple’s latest MacBook Pros are on sale: the 14.2-inch version is down to $1,749 for a configuration with an M3 Pro chip, 18GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD at Amazon and B&H. That’s $250 off Apple’s list price and $50 below the retail price we’ve seen on Amazon over the past few months, although it’s $50 more than the lowest price we’ve tracked. The 16.2-inch model is also on sale for $2,199, which is an all-time low. That model has the same basic specs, although it has a slightly more powerful 12-core CPU (instead of the 14-inch model’s 11-core chip) and an 18-core GPU (instead of a 14-core unit) along with its most spacious version. show. Just keep in mind that we may or may not see new M4-based models by the end of the year.

If you’re an Amazon Prime member and have never subscribed to , you can now get five months of the music streaming service at no cost. If you’re a new user and don’t have Prime, you can get a three-month free trial. The service typically costs $10 per month for those who subscribe to Prime and $11 per month for those who don’t.

Music Unlimited isn’t a formal recommendation in our guide: its interface isn’t as clean or intelligently curated as Apple Music, our top pick, and we found it a bit aggressive in promoting the podcasts you can. I don’t mind. That said, it’s hard to beat free and the service has more or less the same giant music library as its peers. It also supports lossless streaming, unlike Spotify, which is a nice plus for audiophiles with high-quality wired headphones. If you just want to save a little money on streaming music for a few months, it should work. Just remember to cancel when the free trial ends, as your subscription will automatically renew by default.

Prime subscribers can now get Kids Echo Dot from Amazon for $28, which matches the lowest price we’ve seen. The smart speaker technically has a list price of $60, although we’ve seen it drop into the $35 to $45 range several times over the past year.

As the name suggests, this is a kid-friendly variant of Amazon’s tiny home speaker: it uses the same spherical hardware as the standard model, but comes with a cute owl or dragon-themed design, a longer two-year warranty ( instead of a 90-day one) and a one-year subscription to the company’s Kids+ Service, which includes a variety of audiobooks, games, music stations and the like for kids. Like the standard model, there’s also a pretty solid set of parental controls. The quality of Kids+ content can be mixed, and whether you’re comfortable placing an Amazon speaker in your kids’ room is something only you can answer (although there is a microphone mute button). The standard Echo Dot is the “best pick under $50” in our guide to the best smart speakers and will almost certainly go on sale during Prime Day. But if you’ve been looking for an affordable music player and audiobook reader that your little one can control with their voice, this is it.

Amazon’s Fire TV Sound Bar is $20 off and down to $100, which is the best price we’ve seen all year. It’s best paired with a Fire TV stick or standalone Fire TV and supports surround sound with DTS Virtual:X and Dolby Audio.

The 43- and 55-inch Amazon Fire Omni QLED Smart TVs are up to 25 percent off right now. The 43-inch model is the most affordable, with a 20 percent drop and a final price of $360 for Prime members. These TVs support 4K HDR10+ content with Dolby Vision IQ, hands-free Alexa, Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity, and the Fire TV ambient experience.

The Anker Soundcore Space A40 headphones are back down to a low of $59, which is a savings of $21 off the full price. We named them our top pick for a budget set of headphones because they provide features like EQ adjustment, splash resistance, active noise cancellation, and a decent transparency mode. In addition, the sound itself is pleasant and warm.

This Shark AI Ultra Robot Vacuum Cleaner is half price and marked down to just $300 right now. A version of one of our top picks for the best robot vacuums, it supports cleaning schedules and home mapping, plus it comes with a self-emptying base that can hold up to 60 days of debris. The base is also bagless, so there is no need to purchase and replace proprietary trash bags over time.

Beats just released its new solo 4 headphones a little over a month ago, but the over-ear pair is already down to $150 at several retailers. That’s $50 off the Apple subsidiary’s MSRP. A bundle that pairs the headphones with two years of AppleCare+ protection is also on sale for $178.

The XL version of Elgato’s Power Cover is 20 percent off right now and up to $200. That’s just $10 more than its record price, and this model gives you a whopping 32 buttons you can program to perform. specific actions during a broadcast or just for general productivity.

Our top pick for a Wi-Fi 6E mesh system is the Deco XE75 from TP-Link, and right now it’s on sale for just $290 for a set of three. That’s after a 31 percent discount and a $20 clickable coupon. Altogether, that’s the lowest price we’ve seen on the set so far. We like how it balances power and ease of use, providing quick connections to places in your home that may have previously been patchy.
