Apple’s flagship AirPods have plummeted to their lowest-ever price for Prime Day, and now is very literally the perfect time to snap them up. Our tech critic David Phelan said in his review that they offer extra features over the previous AirPods Pro from 2021, boasting better audio quality, stronger noise cancellation and better battery life.

The biggest change in design applies to the charging case, which now has a loop on the side to enable you to attach a lanyard, and there’s a speaker on the underside to help you locate it with the Find My app. They were updated with new features in September last year, and there are even more new features launching in iOS 18.

But more importantly, our writer said that these sound absolutely divine. “Whether it’s orchestral music, rap, podcasts or your favourite pop tracks, the WH-1000XM5 handles it all with poise and gumption, it never misses a beat”.

Meta’s breakthrough mixed reality headset has just plummeted to its lowest-ever price this Prime Day, seeing it discounted by a huge £70. “The Meta Quest 3 is an astounding virtual-reality (now mixed-reality) headset, and is arguably the best consumer device currently out there,” our writer said in their review. “With full-colour passthrough, a faster processor, a more comfortable and ergonomic fit, as well as better hand tracking and, of course, those sweet, sweet pancake lenses that make everything so much more stable, this is the VR headset to beat.”

Reduced by nearly 60 per cent, the Echo Pop looks like the Echo Dot sliced in half. “But don’t be deceived by its minuscule price tag, this semi-spherical machine with a slanting speaker packs a punch,” our tester said. Unlike the Echo Dot, the sound is directional in the 180-degree format – but if you’re looking to fill a small room or corner, this isn’t a problem. While the fact that you could get two Echo Pops for the price of one Echo Dot may sway your decision, if you need further convincing, you can get the pop for less than £20, thanks to Amazon’s Prime Day deal.

Released just last year, Amazon has treated us to a rare saving on its new series 9 smartwatch. Featuring an always-on display and the brightest screen on any Apple Watch ever, it’s the new S9 processor that makes the Apple Watch stand out. As well as being fast, smooth and responsive to use, it also makes possible a new feature called double tap. “When you raise your arm to wake the watch to full brightness, you can tap your index finger and thumb together twice, instead of touching the screen,” our tech critic David Phelan said in his review. “It’s effortless and responsive. You can use it to snooze an alarm, pause a timer, play music and more.”

The third-generation AirPods have new features, improved audio and longer battery life than their predecessors. Launched in 2021, the 3rd-generation model looks more like the premium AirPods Pro but lacks some of the features of the pricier headphones, such as noise-cancelling. “The improved audio is noticeable, especially with spatial audio and the new shape,” our technology critic David Phelan said in his review. “Though these won’t be perfect for everyone, it has a tight and effective fit.

When is Amazon Prime Day 2024 in the UK?

Amazon kicked off its Prime Day sale on Tuesday 16 July, it will finish at 11:59 pm on Wednesday 17 July.

What is Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day is an annual sale event that takes place over two days, seeing the retailer discount the price of thousands of products from big-name brands, including Apple, Samsung, KitchenAid, Shark, Simba, Ninja and more.

Amazon has announced ahead of time that Prime members will receive exclusive access to thousands of deals on top brands (name-dropping a few specific ones) as well as big savings on Amazon’s own devices and services – we’re talking Ring doorbells, Fire TV sticks and offers on Audible books and memberships.

The retailer has confirmed we will see discounts on Elemis, ghd, Ninja and Samsung, and it will reduce products from Barbie, L’Oréal Paris, Shark and more to their lowest-ever price so far this year. Prime members will also get what Amazon calls “deep discounts” on products from Bose, Fitbit, Oral-B and Sony.

Amazon released Prime Day discounts on Amazon devices early, with up to 50 per cent off selected Ring cameras and doorbells, including Ring video doorbells, Ring indoor cameras, Ring’s stick-up cam, as well as 55 per cent on the Ring Intercom and up to 65 per cent on Blink’s range of security cameras.

In 2022, Amazon began hosting more than one Prime Day-style sale a year, starting with the Prime Early Access Sale in October. It now hosts three sales a year – the Amazon Spring Sale in March (which is open to non-Prime subscribers), Amazon Prime Day in July and the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days Sale in October.

Amazon Prime Day is always the best of the three, offering up top savings on the biggest products. To access the discounts in the Prime Day sale, you need to have an active Amazon Prime membership.

Best Amazon Prime Day tips

The IndyBest team have been covering the Amazon Prime Day since it started in 2015. We’ve been sniffing out discounts and tracking prices for years, so, we know when something’s a good deal and when it’s a dud. In the lead-up and throughout the entirety of the event, we’ll be highlighting the very best deals on all the most sought-after products. We’ll even be running a non-stop liveblog every waking (and sleeping) hour of the 48-hour sale.

To get prepared, if there are any items you’re desperate to get your hands on, we recommend adding them to your wish list ahead of time, so you can check out more quickly when the sale rolls around. It’s also worth downloading the Amazon app – the retailer will continue to drop “lightning deals” throughout the sale, and these are only around for a few hours at a time. You can also set up alerts, so you’re pinged when a discount goes live.

Amazon Prime Day vs Black Friday: Should you wait? 

When it comes to big-ticket sales, Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day are the biggest and the best, but there are differences between the two that might influence your decision on whether you should wait to snap up a deal.

The biggest difference is that during Black Friday you’ll see thousands of retailers slashing prices across their product ranges. So, in theory, you’ll have more choice. This is in contrast to Prime Day, where you’ll only be able to shop for discounts at Amazon.

The benefit of Prime Day is the deals are all in one place, making it much easier to shop than having to visit every single website for the best deal. Because it’s a Prime member-exclusive sale, you should technically have less competition, so your favourite air fryer won’t sell out as quickly as it did during the Amazon Spring Sale, in which people who aren’t Prime members were able to take advantage of the discounts, too.

The biggest deals and discounts you’ll see during Prime Day will be on Amazon’s tech and own-brand devices, including Kindle ereaders, Amazon Echo smart speakers and Ring video doorbells.

Having covered both Black Friday and Amazon Prime Day for too many years to count, the size of the discounts are always roughly the same during both sales, so we wouldn’t fret too much.

How to sign up for Amazon Prime

As we’ve noted, the deals on Prime Day are exclusively for those with an Amazon Prime membership, which costs £8.99 per month or £95 when paying for a year up front. Signing up couldn’t be easier, all you need to do is go to the Amazon Prime landing page and enter your details.

If you don’t want to pay the monthly fee, you can get a 30-day free trial, which will also gain you access to the sale, but we’d recommend doing this closer to the time.

Is Amazon Prime worth it?

Whether a subscription service is worth it is, of course, down to personal preference. You do get a whole host of perks from being an Amazon Prime member, though. You’ll not only benefit from the Prime Day deals, but you will also have free next-day or same-day delivery on items, as well as access to thousands of free ebooks, Prime Video and Amazon Music services.
