Prime Day deals are officially live: Shop the best tech sales from Apple, Sony, Bose, Anker and others for up to 54% off right now – Yahoo Tech

Amazon Prime Day has returned, meaning Prime members can save across a swath of items available from the online retailer. The summertime shopping event typically runs for 48-hours, but Amazon extended things again this year (it did so last year, too) to a full four days. That just means you have more time to shop — and while most Prime Day deals are reserved for Prime members, there are always a number of deals that all shoppers can take advantage of. It’s worth perusing Amazon’s site to see if you’re able to snag anything on your list while it’s on sale, regardless of if you pay for Prime or not.

But just because something is labeled a Prime Day deal doesn’t mean it’s actually a good discount. We at Yahoo Tech have been monitoring prices for our favorite gear for a long time, and we’re surfacing only the best Prime Day deals on tech we can find. Be sure to check back here throughout the sale for the latest discounts that are worth your money.

Best Prime Day deals under $50

This Yahoo top-seller gives you five additional outlets and four USB ports so you can easily and neatly connect everything you have. It sits close to the wall too so you won’t have messy, distracting cables lying across your floor either.

Audible (3 months) for $3 + $20 credit: A standard subscription to Audible costs $8.99/month and allows subscribers to listen to one audiobook or their choosing from the entire Audible catalog each month. Right now, you can get 3 months of Audible’s Standard plan for $0.99 per month, plus a $20 Audible credit on top of that. This deal is good through July 5.

Lisen Magsafe Airplane Phone Holder for $15 (was $25): Getting on a plane soon? This handy device will make it easier to comfortably watch your phone while flying. It’s one of our favorite MagSafe accessories and even beats the more expensive versions we tried. 

Iniu 15W Wireless Charging Station for $15 (was $20): If all you’re looking for is a simple charging stand to juice up your phone every night, you needn’t spend more than $20. That may even be too much, as this $15 option will do the job and also act as a phone stand, whether you’re FaceTiming your family or catching up on The Pitt while doing the dishes.

Amazon Fire TV Stick HD for $16 (was $35): Stop dealing with multiple remotes every time you watch TV. With the Fire TV Stick, you’ll be able to effortlessly switch between the news, sports, live TV and your favorite streaming platforms for easy access to millions of shows and movies. And at 54% off, this is the lowest price we’ve seen since the new model launched this past spring.

Lisen Retractable Car Charger for $16 (was $20): On a recent road trip, my wife and I realized we had two USB ports but only one charging cable, and both of our phones were dying. She won. You don’t need to worry about that with this charger, because it has two cables — a USB-C and a Lightning cable — built right in, perfect for our iPhone 14 and iPhone 16. Have two newer phones? You can still plug your own cable into either the USB-C or USB-A ports.

Baseus Bass BP1 Pro Noise Cancelling Wireless Earbuds for $24 (was $40): A pick from Rick Broida’s guide to the best earbuds, these won out as the best you can get for under $40. They have great ANC and sound quality for the price — especially during this Prime Day sale.  

Kasa Smart Plug Mini 15A, 4-Pack for $24 (was $30): This is the light switch for lazy people — or efficient ones, depending on how you spin it. I use mine to schedule my non-smart lamps and automate the coffee maker, which means my cup of joe brews before I wake up. Easy control via Alexa and Google Home is just the icing.

Anker Soundcore 2 portable Bluetooth speaker for $30 (was $45): Amongst Yahoo Tech editor’s favorite 50 gadgets under $50 is this unassuming little box. Our Senior Reporter, Sam Chapman, likes this older model that “gets the job done” with clear treble and deep bass.

Anker USB-C Smart Display Charger for $30 (was $40): This handy little charger can fast-charge the latest iPhones thanks to its 45W support, and its built-in display will show you real-time charging information. We also like that the foldable prongs make it easy to safely toss in a bag before you leave the house.

Anker 65W 3-Port Fast Charger for $30 (was $40): If you hate cable clutter, this is your hero product. It powers my laptop, AirPods and phone from one small hub — no cord spaghetti, no outlet gymnastics. Whether I’m at my desk or on the road, I can plug in once and be done. The peace of mind (and desk space) it saves is worth way more than its price tag.

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max for $35 (was $60): The Max is the top of the Fire TV Stick lineup, doubling the storage of the Plus and running on Wi-Fi 6E for the most stable streaming connection Amazon offers in a stick form factor. It also supports Xbox Game Pass cloud gaming, making it the pick if you plan to use your TV as a gaming screen.

MyQ Smart Garage Door Video Keypad for $36 (was $80): The MyQ is one of those smart-home gadgets that I wish I had bought years ago. I can open or close the garage from anywhere, get notifications if the garage door is left open and even schedule a time in the evening for it to automatically close. It’s simple, reliable and genuinely helpful, no subscription necessary, and thanks to Prime Day, more than 50% off.

Ring Battery Doorbell for $50 (was $100): Never miss a delivery again, or wonder what’s happening at home, thanks to the Ring doorbell, which lets you check in from your phone wherever you are.

Star Fox (Switch 2) for $50 (was $60): Amazon is running a handful of $10 discounts on physical copies of upcoming Switch 2 games, bringing them down to the same price as their digital editions. Alongside the Star Fox remake, the tactical RPG Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, the puzzle-adventure game Orbitals and Nintendo Switch Sports Resortare also on sale. To be clear, these are pre-order deals, and there’s always some risk to buying a game before you see its finished state. You should only take advantage if you’re 100 percent sure you’re getting the game no matter what. We played an hour or so of Star Fox last month, so you can read our hands-on preview to learn more about that reboot of the classic N64 space shooter.

Best Prime Day Apple deals

The Series 11 isn’t as much of a raw value as the lower-cost Apple Watch SE 3 (which isn’t on sale), but if you can stretch your budget a bit further, it gets you a bigger display, longer battery life, a slightly thinner design and more advanced health features like an ECG app and hypertension alerts. We’ve seen this deal pop up on several occasions, but it ties the best price we’ve tracked. Just note that there’s no real need to upgrade if you already own an Apple Watch Series 10.

Apple Watch SE 3 for $199 (was $249): The latest version of the SE comes with an always-on display, wrist-temperature sensing and a sleep score — features that were previously reserved for higher-end models. It’s also a favorite of Yahoo Senior Tech Writer Rick Broida — check out his full Apple Watch SE 3 review. 

Apple AirTags (2nd gen, 4 pack) for $89 (was $99): If you’ve been looking to grab a few more AirTags to keep track of your things, now’s the time to get them. This is a great discount on a four-pack of the latest AirTags, which have better precision tracking and a louder chime, making it easier to find your things when they are within close range.

Apple AirPods Pro 3 for $180 (was $249): If I were buying AirPods for the first time, the Pro 3 would be the no-brainer pick. They’re a meaningful upgrade over the Pro 2, even before you factor in that those are sold out pretty much everywhere. You’re getting up to twice the noise reduction, longer battery life (up to eight hours with ANC) and bonus features like heart-rate monitoring and live language translation.

Apple AirPods 4 for $99 (was $129): Don’t like the feel of AirPods Pro or other earbuds that wedge into your ear canals? These are more traditional hard-plastic ‘buds, the kind that hang gently just outside. Some users find these a lot more comfortable, while also enjoying the benefit of added awareness, as there’s no noise-cancelling to interfere with sounds you might actually need to hear. Plus, you’ll save $30 by buying from Amazon versus the Apple Store.

Apple iPad, 11-Inch, 128GB for $299 (was $349): Out of stock for now, but check back — it usually restocks quickly and at $299, the price has only been lower during Black Friday sales. The latest iPad is an ultra-light, thin tablet that’s powerful enough to replace your laptop for most tasks but slips into your bag with room to spare. With a spacious 11-inch Liquid Retina display, you’re swiping and scrolling in vibrant color and sharpness that makes any screen that came before it feel like an old tube TV. It’s also our pick for the overall best iPad for most users. Not bad for $300.

Apple AirPods Max 2 for $399 (was $549): You can snag a pair of Apple’s latest headphones, the AirPods Max 2, at a discount. We’re seeing some colorways on sale for $50 less than usual, which isn’t a huge discount but a notable one considering these cans just came out. Yahoo Tech’s Rick Broida tested them out and found them to have excellent audio quality, good controls and solid build quality. They’re probably still too expensive for most, but for serious Apple fans, they might be a good option.

Apple MacBook Air (13-inch, M5, 512GB, 16GB) for $950 (was $1,099): This latest MacBook Air is $149 cheaper than what you’ll find at your nearest Apple Store. If you’ve been waiting for this release to upgrade an aging machine, this discount is nothing to scoff at, especially for a MacBook.

MacBook Air (13-inch, M3, 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM) for $799 (was $1,299): While this is a bit old, this is the best price we’ve seen on the M3 MacBook Air. If you want the latest and greatest, we still recommend springing for an M5 model, but the M3 chipset is no slouch — and considering how expensive MacBooks are normally (and that Apple is planning on raising prices imminently), this might be one of the last chances to get a MacBook with this much power while spending under $1,000.

Apple MacBook Neo, 256GB for $590 (was $599): While the base model isn’t discounted (very few Apple products are immediately after they’re released), the Neo is undoubtedly a deal, considering it’s the most affordable laptop the Cupertino company has ever sold. While the entry price point is a sweet sub-$600, we’d be remiss if we didn’t recommend spending the extra $100 to upgrade for more storage and Touch ID.

Apple Watch Ultra 3 for $649 (was $799): I’ve only seen the Ultra 3 dip lower than this (to $679) for a single day during Black Friday and Cyber Monday last year, making $700 a great deal on this top-of-the-line smartwatch. With a fast S10 chip, 5G and satellite SOS connectivity, a slightly larger display with thinner bezels, 42-hour battery life, and faster charging to 80% (45 minutes rather than 60), the Ultra 3 is the watch to get if you want a top-tier wearable.

Best Prime Day TV deals and streaming deals

If you’re looking for something small and cheap for a dorm room, spare bedroom, even the workshop, it’s hard to beat Insignia’s 32-inch Fire TV for $70. That’s a 46% savings and just about the best price we’ve seen this year.

Yes, the F20 Series tops out at 720p, but that’s actually fine for this size. And it has onboard Alexa for voice controls (courtesy of the remote), a “frill” you wouldn’t expect at this price.

Paramount+ (2 months) for $2: With a Paramount+ subscription, you can catch most of Taylor Sheridan’s shows, including Dutton Ranch, Lioness, and The Madison, other originals like The Agency and Dexter: Resurrection, great movies, live NFL and UFC broadcasts, and much more. A Paramount+ Essential plan costs $8.99/month, and the ad-free Paramount+ Premium is $13.99/month, but right now, you can get two months of either tier for just $0.99/month, a major discount over the regular rate.

Insignia 50-inch F50 Series LED 4K Fire TV for $160 (was $300): While we’re loving all the deals in our roundup, this 50-inch 4K TV is a standout. This is an insane price on a model that delivers everything you need: a manageable size, top-tier picture quality and all the apps, shows and movies that the Fire TV platform brings to the table. Want bigger? The 85-inch model is currently down to just $550. Yep, you read that right.

Insignia F20 Series 32-inch LED HD Smart Fire TV for $280 (was $460): This 55-incher not only delivers stunning 4K Ultra HD visuals and Alexa Voice Remote convenience, but it features four HDMI ports, allowing you to connect all your other devices, like gaming consoles, Blu-ray players and soundbars. You’ll get access to all the top streaming services, so it’s easy to find content and get personalized recommendations right on the built-in Fire TV interface. 

Sony 65-Inch 4K Bravia 3 Smart TV for $748 (was $800): Sony is one of the best names in the TV business for a reason, and this Bravia set offers a nice balance of affordability and great features. It’s a 4K set with support for HDR and Dolby Vision, and a 120Hz refresh rate makes it great for gaming and sports. It even includes some exclusive features for the PlayStation 5, if you happen to have one. 

Hisense 50-inch Hi-QLED S7 CanvasTV Art TV for $750 (was $1,300): “One of my favorite TVs ever is within a stone’s throw of its all-time low price,” says Broida. “The Hisense CanvasTV is an affordable alternative to Samsung’s popular Frame series, which turns the screen into a museum piece — a showcase for great works of art — when it’s not showing new episodes of Slow Horses. This Hisense model includes a wood frame (Samsung charges extra) and an art library of over 1,000 works, no subscription required.”

Best Prime Day tech deals

This could be the only portable speaker you need for the summer. It’s waterproof, dustproof and floatable thanks to its IP67-rated design. It has 14 hours of battery life, and you can pair two together to get fuller, stereo sound.

Lefant M210 Pro Robot Vacuum for $90 (was $200): If you’ve been waiting for a good robovac deal, get a load of this 55%-off markdown. This top-rated model is slim enough to glide under sofas and clean other often-neglected areas in your home that could use a de-dusting, and to make things extra hands-off, you can control all the action through the app. Thanks to the M210’s built-in infrared sensor, this little robo-pal can automatically detect walls, stairs and more, without damaging furniture or falling down stairs. It can also run for up to two hours per charge.

TCL S55H 2.1 Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer for $99 (was $160): A soundbar with subwoofer for just $99 is news all by itself. When it’s from an established brand like TCL and supports Dolby Atmos and automatic room-calibration, it’s cause for celebration. This 220-watt system will definitely fill your room with sound. We haven’t tested it, but the S55H earned an impressive 4.5-star average rating from close to 600 buyers.

RedTiger 4K Dash Cam for $110 (was $130): Imagine this: You’re stopped at a red light when the car in front of you starts to back up. Before you have time to think, let alone react, bam! They hit your car, but claim you rear-ended them. Unfortunately, these kinds of insurance scams are all too common, and unless you have a dashcam that shows what actually happened, you might be shelling out a lot of dough to make this problem go away. 

Nespresso Vertuo Next espresso machine for $132 (was $189): Some days you want a basic coffee and other days you need a little espresso pick-me-up. But instead of having two different machines, the Nespresso Vertuo does both. It brews 5, 8, 12 and 18-ounce coffees, plus single and double espresso shots hot or over ice.

Ninja Foodi Smart XL indoor grill and air fryer for $200 (was $280): Sometimes it’s too hot (or cold) to grill outside, which is where an indoor grill comes in handy. This one not only grills food but also air fries, bakes, dehydrates, roasts and broils. And you don’t have to worry about your house getting smoky because it has a smoke control system.

Beats Studio Pro Headphones for $150 (was $350): With personalized sound profiles and Apple’s H1 chip, these top-sellers deliver seamless connectivity, especially with Apple gear, making switching between devices a breeze. Active noise cancellation and transparency mode let you control how much of the world you hear, whether you’re on a plane or at the gym. Plus, with up to 24 hours of battery life, they’re built to keep up with your day. If style and sound are priorities, these won’t disappoint. 

Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum for $270 (was $390): The V8 is where Dyson’s cordless lineup starts making serious sense — strong suction, a reliable battery and none of the hassle a cord brings. At $270, you’re saving $120 off a vacuum that’ll likely outlast whatever you’re using now.

Meta Quest 3S (128GB) VR headset for $297 (was $350): The Quest 3S is the consensus pick for those looking to get into VR without breaking the bank. It works without cables and runs just as fast as the pricier Quest 3 while supporting all the same games and apps. Its Fresnel lenses are decidedly worse, but they should still be sharp and clear enough for newcomers and casual users. While this deal isn’t the best we’ve seen, it essentially brings the headset back to its old MSRP before Meta hiked the price by $50 this past April. If you need more storage, the 256GB model is on sale for $382, which is a $68 discount.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones for $329 (was $429): Take everything you love about the Bose QuietComfort — industry-leading noise cancellation, ergonomic design and incredible sound quality — and turn it up to 11. Your music won’t just sound like it’s coming from the headphones; it’ll feel like it’s all around you, fully enveloping you wherever you are, whether on a plane, train or in your very own listening room (I’ve always wanted a listening room). Get them now, while they’re $100 off.

Sony WH-1000XM6 Noise-Canceling Headphones for $398 (was $460): Sony’s flagship headphones are some of the best you can buy right now thanks to their excellent noise cancellation and sound quality. These also have up to 30 hours of battery life and a comfortable design.

Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station for $429 (was $799): This power station is an absolute steal right now at $370 off. With a massive 1,070 Wh capacity and multiple ports, it’s great for powering everything from your camping gear to essential appliances during a power outage. Lightweight and reliable, it’s an easy way to stay charged and prepared without breaking the bank.

Nintendo Switch 2 Choose Your Game bundle for $499: Nintendo announced that it will raise the price of the Switch 2 console in September, so while this isn’t technically a discount, for now you can get the console and a game of your choice for the lower price. Once you have the console in hand, you can pick one of these three games to redeem at no extra cost: Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza or Pokemon Pokopia.
