Amazon is hosting another Prime Day event this year, called Amazon Prime Big Deal Days and offering shoppers the first chance to save on holiday shopping from a major retailer. Similar to the first Prime Day, it will last for two days (October 8-9) and you can already find a large selection of early deals across Amazon's storefront, covering savings on tech, clothing, video games, groceries, and much, much more.

Note: MacRumors is an affiliate partner with Amazon. When you click a link and make a purchase, we may receive a small payment, which helps us keep the site running.

For our coverage, we're focusing entirely on Apple and Apple-related discounts that can be purchased during this 48-hour event on Amazon. As of today, this includes deals on AirPods, Apple Watch, iPad, and MacBook Air.

As is typical for Prime Day deals, these markdowns are very time sensitive, so sales listed below may disappear fast, and new ones may appear even faster. With this in mind, we'll keep this article updated throughout the event, and keep an eye on the MacRumors front page as we'll be posting particularly great deals in separate articles this week.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, Amazon Prime Big Deal Days requires you to have an Amazon Prime membership to take advantage of the discounts. Amazon Prime offers a one month free trial, and otherwise costs $14.99 per month or $139.00 per year.

AirPods

Starting with AirPods, you'll find a wide selection of solid deals across the AirPods lineup on Amazon during Prime Day. This includes a $10 discount on the new AirPods 4 at $119.00, as well as a low $129.99 price on the AirPods 3.




Apple Watch

SE

Apple's 40mm GPS Apple Watch SE is available for $189.00 today on Amazon, down from $249.00. This is a second-best price on the wearable. This deal is available in all three aluminum color options, and only Amazon has the discount.




You can also get the 44mm GPS Apple Watch SE on sale right now, available for $219.00 on Amazon, down from $279.00. This is another second-best price on the Apple Watch SE for Prime Day.
Ultra 2

Amazon has further discounted the Apple Watch Ultra 2 in Black this week. You can get a few models of the Black Titanium watch for $734.89, down from $799.00. This beats the sale price we tracked last week by about $15, and marks a new all-time low price for the Black Apple Watch Ultra 2.



The models on sale include the Black Titanium Case with Dark Green Alpine Loop (S) and the Black Titanium Case with Dark Green Alpine Loop (M).

M4 iPad Pro

For the newest M4 iPad Pros, Amazon is offering up to $200 off select models of both the 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro. Deals are primarily focused on Wi-Fi models, but you can find a few cellular tablets on sale at this time as well.

I am thinking of getting the upcoming Mini M4. Would the Studio Display still be a sensible purchase considering its age? Any rumors of a replacement around the corner?

I will likely purchase the updated Mini and connect it to my SDs. Rumors don't seem to support a SD update. We'll see!

The Studio Display has been as low as $1299 recently on Amazon, so this isn't an amazing deal. There were a lot of discounts before September, I was hoping that meant an updated display, or maybe a larger one, was on the way, but so far nothing. It's a great display, I have one, but it really needs an update at this point.

Some Ultra Ti Watch/strap combos were 14% off last week. They’re now back up to MSRP or close to it.

Any news of Amazon releasing new Kindles?

A replacement for the Kindle Oasis would be appreciated! Why they decided to cancel it several months ago is ridiculous.

amazon had the ASD for 1399 a couple of weeks ago. Price went back up quickly before Prime event. Lowest average price is 1300 across retailers.

What would be a non-Apple display that would be of similar quality that you would consider?

None of these deals seem like anything special. 14 inch MBP Pro/Pro was $1700 a year ago at the Apple store...!
