Amazon's early Prime Day sale is filled with best-selling tech gadgets – shop the 35 best deals from $16
Save on TVs, AirPods, smart home gadgets, tablets, and more
If you want to get a head start on your holiday shopping or grab a bargain on a best-selling tech gadget, you should head to Amazon's early Prime sale. The retailer announced the dates of the October sale last week and released early deals, and the best offers, unsurprisingly, are on tech devices.
You can find record-low prices on TVs, AirPods, tablets, smart home gadgets, MacBooks, and headphones with prices starting at just $16. As TechRadar's deals editor, I've listed the 35 best early Prime Day tech deals below, which I've selected based on price, popularity, and brand.
You'll find links to the top early Prime Day deals and tech categories below, followed by the best discounts on Amazon smart home gadgets, Apple devices, TVs, and headphones. A few highlights include Amazon's popular Fire TV Sticks from just $25, a $1,200 discount on LG's 2025 65-inch C5 OLED TV, and a very rare (but small) price cut on Apple's all-new AirPods Pro 3.
The best part about Amazon's early sale is that, unlike Prime Day, there's no membership required to shop today's deals. Today's offers also allow you to grab a bargain and avoid the madness of the upcoming holiday shopping season.
