Amazon Prime Big Deal Days offers deep discounts on AirPods, iPads and more

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days have officially kicked off, giving shoppers the first chance to save on Christmas shopping at a major retailer. Similar to last year’s fall Prime Day, it will last two days and you can find a wide selection of deals in Amazon’s storefront, covering savings on tech, clothing, video games, groceries and more.

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

As is typically the case with Prime Day deals, these markdowns are very time-sensitive, so the sales listed below may disappear quickly and new ones may appear even faster. With that in mind, we’ll keep this article updated throughout the event and keep an eye on MacRumors’ front page as we post particularly good deals in separate articles this week.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Amazon Prime Day requires you to have a Amazon Prime subscription to take advantage of the discounts. Amazon Prime costs $14.99 per month or $139.00 per year, and comes with a 30-day free trial for new subscribers.
