The ultimate Prime Day Apple deals guide: Were tracking prices on AirPods, iPads, and MacBooks

Mashable - 1 hour 21 min ago

It's Amazon Prime Day season again, aka the best time of year to score excellent deals on Apple gadgets (outside of Black Friday, at least). Amazon typically offers extra-low prices on Apple Watches, AirPods, iPads, and MacBooks during its annual members-only sale, and the Mashable team is already closely monitoring the best Prime Day Apple deals.

A word of caution: Don't fill your cart just yet! Having covered Prime Day for Mashable for seven straight years, I can tell you with 100 percent confidence that most of these offers will get even better when the event formally begins. Amazon saves its very best deals for the main event, and this year, Prime Day runs from June 23 to 26.

SEE ALSO: Prime Day is right around the corner: Here are 20+ early deals to start shopping now

I say "most of these offers," not "all," because there are a handful of exceptional deals that I would in fact shop early. Some devices, including the Apple Watch Series 11, are currently sitting at record-low prices, and you can also pick up the Apple AirPods 4 for just $99.

Over the next week, we will regularly update this page with the best Prime Day Apple deals, and not just at Amazon. We'll also check prices at competing retailers like Best Buy and Walmart to make sure you're truly getting the lowest prices on all things Apple. Plus, we'll tell you how low we expect prices to go on AirPods, MacBooks, iPads, and more.

There's just something about the phrase "$99 AirPods" that feels good, doesn't it? Ahead of Prime Day 2026, you can already score the latest Apple wireless earbuds on sale. Technically, this isn't the product's lowest-ever price, but we wouldn't count on a better discount next week, though that is possible. In the past, we've seen these buds hit $69 before, so you may want to wait just in case Amazon revives that deal next week.

If you want the pricier version of AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation, Amazon currently has deals on these buds starting at $148.99.

Prime Day AirPods deals to watch
  • Apple AirPods Pro 3: Ahead of Prime Day, we've seen these noise-cancelling earbuds on sale for $179.99 at Amazon and Best Buy. Check back during Prime Day, when they'll surely get another discount.

  • Apple AirPods Max 2: These snazzy over-ear headphones have been hanging out at their record-low price of $499.99 since early June (normally $549). That's not bad, but the first-gen AirPods Max with USB-C charging were a full $100 off on their first Prime Day and $120 off last Black Friday. Let's see if Amazon can get these new ones down to around $449, at least.

The best Prime Day deals on Apple products always include savings on the latest Apple Watch, plus the SE and Ultra models. Soon you'll be able to buy these smartwatches at their lowest-ever prices.

  • Apple Watch Series 11: Apple's latest smartwatch is currently marked down to $279 (normally $399), which is its lowest price to date and a $120 savings. However, it's probably going to get even cheaper on Prime Day. 

  • Apple Watch SE 3: Apple's budget wearable has hit $199 before, and its predecessor dipped down to $169 during last October's Prime Big Deal Days sale. It was on sale for $199 at the time of writing (typically $249), or only $50 off, so don't add it to your cart just yet.

  • Apple Watch Ultra 3: The Ultra 3 has now dropped to its lowest price yet at $649, down from $799, marking a 19% discount. This rugged premium smartwatch with GPS + Cellular and advanced health and fitness tracking is now cheaper than its previous Black Friday-style lows.

Read our review of the Apple Watch Series 11. If you're not sure which model is right for you, check out our guide to the best smartwatches you can buy right now.

  • Apple iPad: Apple's entry-level tablet is on sale for $299 right now, down $50 from its usual sticker price of $349. I'm thinking Amazon will revive its Prime Day 2025 price of $279 before the event wraps up.

  • Apple iPad Air: The 11- and 13-inch M4 iPad Airs weren't around last Prime Day, but they've previously hit record lows of $519 and $699, respectively — a savings of up to $100. The 13-inch version has dropped back to its record-low of $699.99, while the 11-inch model is still hovering a little above its best-ever pricing at $559.

  • Apple iPad Pro: The 11- and 13-inch M5 iPad Pro models are both on sale right now, but neither has fully hit their deepest-ever price drops yet. The 11-inch version is down to $899.99, while the 13-inch model is sitting at $1,199.99. Don't hit the buy button until you see them drop to $799 and $1,149, respectively (or lower, ideally). Their regular retail prices are $999 and $1,299.

  • Apple iPad mini: The most compact Apple tablet is on sale for $474 in the lead-up to Prime Day (usually $499) — a hard skip. I'd be happy if it returned to last year's Prime Day price of $379, but hope Amazon can match its best-ever Black Friday price of $349.

  • Apple MacBook Neo: Apple's new budget laptop has been enjoying a $9 discount on Amazon for a couple of months now (normally $599). It would be suuuper cool if the retailer managed to match Apple's $499 student pricing on Prime Day, but that's very wishful thinking. Realistically, it probably won't get any cheaper than $549, if it gets any cheaper at all. A sizable MacBook Neo discount is my white whale for Prime Day 2026.

  • Apple MacBook Air: The 13-inch M5 MacBook Air is only $949 right now (normally $1,099), its lowest price yet. It’s sitting below its usual retail price right now, while the 15-inch model is also seeing a $150 discount. Apple’s MacBook Air lineup often gets matching deals across both sizes during major sale events. Hold steady until it hits $899.

  • Apple MacBook Pro: The 14-inch base model with the vanilla M5 chip is going for $1,549 ahead of Prime Day (usually $1,699), but its record-low of $1,499 will probably return soon.

Prime Day 2026 is almost here. Amazon's flagship summer sale is a great opportunity to save on almost anything, from household essentials like dish soap to big-ticket splurges like a new 65-inch TV. If you're eager to start shopping, we found all of the best Prime Day deals already live, including an unprecedented last-minute price drop on Apple headphones.

Prime Day usually takes place in July, but this year, Amazon decided to shake things up and run the sale in June. So, if you haven't already heard the news (or seen the many TV commercials), Amazon Prime Day 2026 runs from June 23 to 26. The timing may have changed, but we're still expecting the same great savings on products from Apple, Sony, Dyson, Bose, Ninja, Lego, and Samsung.

Mashable shopping experts will be closely monitoring the latest discounts and collecting all of the top Prime Day deals into this one-stop shopping guide, so keep checking back for new deals. We're also tracking prices at competing sales from Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and beyond, and we'll make sure we're always pointing you to the lowest possible price.

The retailer has dropped quite a few early deals that have caught our attention, so you can take advantage of some stellar savings before the four-day sale event even begins.

Select Samsung products, in particular, have seen some nice price cuts ahead of the sale event at Amazon. From monitors to smartphones to smartwatches, there's a whole lot to look through right now that's been marked down from the company.

If you're curious what's on offer, we've gathered up some of our favorite early Prime Day Samsung deals that are already available at Amazon. As we get closer to the sale event, and as it's happening, we'll be sure to update this with even more deals that cross our radar.

"If there's ever been a phone to make you ditch Apple, this is it." That's what Mashable's Timothy Beck Werth said in his Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra review. The phone even earned a Mashable Choice Award. With that kind of praise, of course we're excited to see it get a price cut at Amazon before Prime Day.

The unlocked, 512GB model in black is currently on sale for $1,207.95 (incredibly close to its lowest-ever price of $1,199.99), though the sky blue model is also on sale for a few dollars extra at $1,209.99. If you've been looking for a phone upgrade, this is quite an awesome deal to jump on. Werth also adds in the review, "for dedicated Android users — or anyone who loves big phones and hates Liquid Glass — the S26 Ultra is worth the investment."

For gamers looking to splash out on a fancy PC monitor upgrade, this deal on the Samsung 49-inch Odyssey G9 gaming monitor is definitely worth a look. Right now, it's dropped to its lowest-ever price at Amazon of $664.99 exclusively for Prime members. Compared to its full price of $999.99, this is a great opportunity to save $335 on it.

It's quite an exciting upgrade, too. Boasting a 49-inch 1000R curved screen with QHD Ultra Wide 1440p resolution, you'll feel completely absorbed in every detail and color that pops up on its screen. It also has a 240Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time, so games will run smoothly and responsively.

Looking for a durable wearable to take on your many adventures this summer? The Galaxy Watch Ultra is the ultimate smartwatch upgrade to help you out. It's definitely worth a look, especially now that Amazon's knocked $100 off its price tag, bringing it down from $649.99 to $549.99.

Alongside a variety of fitness features and health and sleep tracking features, our hands-on review from Kimberly Gedeon highlights that it's "designed for rugged adventurers." It can "handle temperatures between -4 and 131 degrees Fahrenheit, and it can tolerate deep-sea diving and other challenging environments." If it seems like the kind of fit for your lifestyle, this is an excellent time to scoop it up.

If you're on the hunt for a TV upgrade this summer, Prime Day is a great time to shop, and Samsung is already seeing some nice discounts on some of its TVs at Amazon. This Samsung 55-Inch Class S90F Smart TV is already sitting on our list of the best TV deals ahead of Prime Day, and for very good reason, as it's already sitting at its lowest-ever price at the retailer.

With a 55-Inch screen size, 4K resolution, and an OLED display, this Samsung TV is well worth upgrading to, especially while it's still on sale. You can even get one month of Xbox Game Pass with your purchase, which is a nice little bonus.

While testing tablets, I've learned a few things. Yes, iPads really are that good, but also, Android tablets are vastly underrated. With Prime Day almost here, running June 23 to 26, I'm focused on which tablets will go on sale. Usually, iPads take big price cuts. Plus, I want to see premium Android tablets like the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra reach new all-time low prices.

But what's on sale now? Not much. Ahead of Prime Day, we're tracking tablet deals and found some deals to shop ahead of time. These deals are just OK, but if you're eager to shop now, these are the best tablets on sale at the moment.

The OnePlus Pad Go 2 surprised me when I tested it. For under $400, it's a speedy device that's as user-friendly as any iPad I've tested. Plus, the user interface is similar to iOS devices for those looking to switch over. I've been tracking the price on it since testing it, and it's rarely on sale, but right now you can grab the OnePlus Pad Go 2 ahead of Prime Day for just $319.99, saving you $80.

Upgrade your tech with the best Prime Day Amazon Fire Tablet deals

Mashable - 1 hour 37 min ago
The best early Amazon Fire Tablet deals Best Kids Amazon Fire Tablet Deal Amazon Fire 7 Kids tablet $54.99 (Save $55) Get Deal Best Midrange Amazon Fire Tablet Deal Like-New Amazon Fire HD 10 Tablet and Stylus Pen Creativity Bundle $145.98 (Save $4) Get Deal Best High-End Amazon Fire Tablet Deal Like-New Amazon Fire Max 11 Tablet Creativity Stylus Bundle $229.98 (Save $7) Get Deal

Everyone knows that Amazon loves to discount its own devices during its Prime Day events. So far, though, the early Prime Day tablet deals are a little thin on the ground, at least where Amazon's Fire Tablet line is concerned. There's one excellent standout right now, and it's the Amazon Fire 7 Kids tablet at 50% off, which is a solid drop on a family-friendly pick anyone could use.

Beyond that, most of what we're seeing on Fire tablets is bundle-based rather than straight markdowns, so the value you'll get per bundle depends on whether you actually want the extras. But you can expect the selection to widen dramatically as we get closer to the main event.

Mashable's team of shopping experts is tracking the best early Prime Day Fire tablet deals as they land. We'll likely see even more pop up in the next week or so, so keep an eye out for additional savings.

This model may be aimed toward kids, but the entire family can use it -- and no one would blame you at this price. This rugged tablet comes in three fun colors and features a year of Amazon Kids+ so you can give your little ones plenty of kid-friendly content to peruse. It also has on-board parental controls with the Parent Dashboard, so you can filter out content based on your kids' ages, set time limits, and give access to other apps to keep an eye on what your tots are up to. It also features a 10-hour battery so you don't have to keep recharging it. And if you want to use it yourself, it's still a great casual tablet that can do all you want it to do.

The 10-inch Fire HD 10 is a fantastic all-around pick. It's also a Mashable Choice Award winner, thanks to its excellent display, lengthy battery life, and lightweight frame. It's affordable and sturdy, with a zippy processor and "surprisingly decent' sound quality. This like-new bundle also nets you a Stylus Pen in addition to the tablet, which means you can take notes, doodle, and sketch within apps like OneNote and more. If you're on the market for an everyday tablet that you'll keep reaching for, this bundle is worth snapping up while it's still available.

This speedy tablet is all about the luxury experience when it comes to the Fire line. It has an 11-inch screen with 2 million pixels to give you the most crisp picture possible as well as an octa-core processor to handle everything you want to tackle at once. On top of that, it has 14 hours of battery life per charge and comes in a thin, lightweight frame that makes it a joy to tote around and use. This bundle also packs the Stylus Pen, so you can sketch, mark up PDFs, or jot down notes. If you're going to get a pricier Fire tablet that's still on sale, this one is the way to go right now.

The best early Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals Best early Prime Day Nintendo Switch Deal Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle $499 Get Deal Best early Prime Day Nintendo Switch game deal Star Fox $49.94 (Save $10.04) Get Deal Best early Prime Day Nintendo Switch accessory deal 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Controller $59.92 (Save $10.07) Get Deal

Amazon Prime Day is almost here once more, and the retailer has started the savings early for anyone with a Nintendo Switch on their wishlist. Several of our favorite Switch and Switch 2 games and accessories are already discounted ahead of the main event, and you can shop them right now.

The four-day sale doesn't officially begin until June 23, but early deals are live as of June 16. The console itself is the exception, though. The Switch 2 turns one this month and is set for a price increase to $499.99 on September 1 rather than a cut. The real savings you'll find right now are on games and accessories.

If you'd rather not wait, these are some of the best Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals here worth grabbing now. We'll keep this guide updated as the sale gets closer, but for the moment, the best Switch and Switch 2 discounts so far are below.

  Get Deal Why we like it

While technically not a "deal" in the sense that you'll save money for Prime Day, this bundle is a good way to pick up both a Nintendo Switch 2 and the game of your choice out of a decent selection. You get the console itself, Joy-Con controllers, and games like Pokémon Pokopia, Mario Kart World, and Donkey Kong Bananza with the bundle, so you can get started playing right away. With a 7.9-inch LCD touch screen, three play modes, and backwards compatibility with most Nintendo Switch titles, it's well worth picking up, especially given the price hike coming in September.

Hurtle through space on a fast and furious adventure with Fox, Slippy, Peppy, and Falco as you experience this new take on the Star Fox 64 story. It has new fully-voiced dialogue, a new orchestral soundtrack, and completely new graphics for a whole new generation. You can also invite a second player to join you on your adventures.

It has special joysticks with better precision, higher sensitivity, and improved durability so no matter what game you're into, you know it'll feel great to play. It also features an integrated charging dock so you can always stay charged up, no matter what kind of schedule you keep. Plus, it has a slew of customizable features you can change up for different games, offering a much more bombastic experience than a Joy-Con controller.

We're less than a week away from Prime Day now which means Amazon is hard at work dropping deals. Like every Prime Day, Amazon launches countless early deals and some spell huge savings. If you're shopping for outdoor gear, a new Amazon Echo device, or noise-cancelling headphones, you're already in for giant savings.

While slim in number, we also have some decent deals on drones. Shop one of these models today before the sale and you can spend next week perfecting drone piloting instead of shopping for a model.

65-inch TVs on sale for Prime Day: 2026 mini LED TVs at record-low prices and free gifts

Mashable - 1 hour 39 min ago
A glance at the best deals on 65-inch TVs before Prime Day: Best high-end 65-inch TV deal TCL 65-inch Q8ML Mini LED QLED 4K TV $1,499.99 at Amazon (save $700 at Amazon, plus get a free 55-inch TCL Q65 TV) Get Deal Best Amazon TV deal Amazon 65-inch Ember Artline QLED Art TV $899.99 at Amazon (save $200 at Amazon) Get Deal Best budget 65-inch TV deal TCL 65-inch QM64L Mini LED QLED Fire TV $529.99 at Amazon (save $270 at Amazon) Get Deal

You may have not needed a new TV during Black Friday, or even during Amazon's Spring Sale. June through August is the most popular time to move on a TV, so Prime Day is a super convenient time to buy.

If you're not sure what size TV to get, the internet will probably tell you that 65 inches is the most palatable size. That's big enough to be seen from 10 feet away, but not so massive that you'll get a headache in a close-knit living space. A 65-inch TV is also more likely to fit comfortably on the average TV stand than if you bumped up to 75 inches.

SEE ALSO: 15+ streaming services you can get for 99 cents, plus more early Prime Day streaming deals

Prime Day TV deals are typically so good that you should even be able to snag a 65-inch TV for the typical price of a smaller model. Before Prime Day 2026 officially starts on June 23, I've found more than 10 worthwhile deals on 65-inch TVs already live. Many are 2026 models that just came out in the spring, already on sale at a new record-low price.

Best 65-inch TV deal ahead of Prime Day TCL 65-inch Q8ML Mini LED QLED 4K TV $1,499.99 at Amazon
$2,499.99 Save $1,000.00 Plus, get a 55-inch TCL Q65 TV for free Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

Just released in April 2026, the TCL Q8ML is the successor to TCL's popular QM8K TV. The single letter change in the title doesn't quite cover the difference in lighting tech here. The SQD Q8ML series features "super quantum dot mini LEDs," which are essentially an extra-bright version of regular quantum dots that are able to reproduce 100 percent of the BT2020 color spectrum. In dark rooms, the 4,000 local dimming zones packed into the Q8ML provide much sharper contrast than a regular mini LED TV.

If you're curious, you can snag the 65-inch TCL Q8ML for $1,799.99 at Amazon ahead of Prime Day — nearly 30 percent off its debut price of $2,499.99. Your purchase of any TCL SQD TV also unlocks a free 55-inch QLED TV from TCL worth $318.

Best 65-inch Amazon TV deal Amazon 65-inch Ember Artline QLED Art TV $899.99 at Amazon
$1,099.99 Save $200   Get Deal at Amazon Why we like it

Amazon gives its own Fire TVs a good amount of attention during Prime Day, of course. Despite the discounts, Amazon Fire TVs typically still aren't the best bang for your buck compared to 4K TVs from other brands. However, the early Prime Day deal on the 65-inch Amazon Ember Artline is actually really good value for money.

Only recently released, the Amazon Ember Artline is Amazon's version of a matte art TV. The big deal here is that the Ember Artline comes with a frame color of your choice: Choose from 10 options including Walnut, Ash, Black Oak, Fig, Graphite, Matte White, Midnight Blue, Pale Gold, Silver, and Teak. (Without paying extra, The Frame locks you into black and the Hisense Canvas locks you into teak.)

20+ trading card deals to shop on Prime Day — save on Pokémon TCG, Magic, One Piece, and more

Mashable - 1 hour 39 min ago

Amazon’s Prime Day sale is fast approaching, with deals on popular trading cards like MTG and Pokémon already live.

Mashable regularly tracks the best deals from Magic: The Gathering and Pokemon, plus other collectable cards like One Piece and KPop Demon Hunters. And this sale season is no different — we’re expecting more deals to go live as we get closer to Prime Day’s official launch date of June 23.

These are the best early Prime Day trading card deals we’ve found.

The Magic: The Gathering deals are racking up already, several days out from the start of Prime Day. Of all the deals available, this is the best we've seen today, with a massive saving of $52.82 on preorders of the all-new Magic: The Gathering Marvel Super Heroes Jumpstart Booster Box.

This set isn't even out yet, and it's already at its lowest-ever price according to price tracker camelcamelcamel. It's such a good deal (31% at the time of writing) that we could see preorders sell out. We've already seen other discounts disappear due to high demand — so don't miss out.

It comes with 24 Jumpstart Booster packs, which works out at just $4.79 per pack. Each Jumpstart Booster pack contains 20 cards.

We're just a few hours away from one of the biggest shopping events of the year.

This year, Amazon decided to launch into Prime Day a bit early, and we're in for big savings between June 23 and 26. But I've been covering Prime Day deals for nearly five years now, and I can tell you with certainty that those dates are merely suggestions. You can find plenty of great deals before the sale starts, and others that linger on into the days after the sale.

SEE ALSO: Shop the best Nintendo Switch deals ahead of Prime Day 2026

Anyone who's looking for gaming upgrades is likely in for some treats from Amazon. Before the sale starts, I've spotted some excellent gaming deals that are already live. Since I'm not one to enjoy strong mid-day summer sun, you can find me inside gaming until it's time for dinner in the backyard.

If you're shopping ahead of the sale, these are the top gaming deals to grab before Prime Day hits.

A gaming monitor has the power to change the whole gaming experience. Go curved, and you'll never go back to a dull, flat screen. Lucky for us, the 32-inch Samsung Odyssey G5 has a 1000R curve, and it's on sale for a massive 42% off ahead of Prime Day, coming in at just under $190 instead of the list price of $329.99. It's also worth noting the 27-inch model is on sale for about $200, which makes the cheaper price on the 32-inch model a fantastic snag.

The Samsung Odyssey G5 comes with game-worthy specs like a 165Hz refresh rate, AMD Radeon FreeSync, and a glare-free display.

We often think of gaming as an expensive hobby, but it doesn't have to be if gaming items are multi-functional. For example, the 65-inch TCL ClassQM6K QLED TV can serve as your gaming display as well as your TV. Pair this with the sale price of $527.99, and things are looking a lot more realistic, price-wise.

The TCL has a native refresh rate of up to 144Hz for crisp and quick gaming. The refresh rate is also excellent if you're sitting down to enjoy watching World Cup games this summer. TCL has the list price for the 65-inch ClassQM6K QLED TV set at $799.99, but Amazon's early Prime Day sale takes 33% off.

Best Nintendo Switch deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle $499 at Amazon
  Get Deal Why we like it

This Nintendo Switch 2 bundle may not technically be an actual Prime Day deal, but it's still worth picking up if you're looking to buy the console. Not only do you get the Switch 2 itself as well as a pair of included Joy-Con controllers, but you also get a game of your choice. You can select from titles like Donkey Kong Bananza, Mario Kart World, and Pokémon Pokopia, which can save you some additional cash. It's cheaper to buy this bundle than the Switch 2 base console and a game, and we can vouch for all three titles as excellent starter games. And if you're going to buy a Switch 2, now's the time to do so: it's raising in price from $449.99 to $499.99 on September 1.

It's nearly Amazon Prime Day, which officially runs from June 23 through 26, but if you don't feel like waiting, there's already plenty of live deals to shop.

Besides offering three free months of both Kindle Unlimited and Audible to new subscribers, Amazon also has some pretty great discounts on books themselves. I'm not usually one to recommend purchasing physical books via Amazon (support local book stores!), but it's pretty hard to pass up a 50% price drop on a book you've had on your TBR.

Typically around $20, you can pick up the paperback version for only $7.50 at Amazon ahead of Prime Day. That's just a few cents away from its lowest price ever.

Summer is the ideal time to tackle home DIY projects. The paint will dry quicker, there's more hours of daylight, and maybe even some friends around to help out. If you have a list of home and yard projects to take care of this summer, make sure you have the necessary tools. Nothing sidelines a weekend project quite like realizing you need to run to the hardware store.

The Tile Pro is one of the most solid Bluetooth trackers on the market, and one of the best contenders that could be considered to take the Apple AirTag crown. They can be used with both iOS and Android devices and feature an easy-to-use app that lets you track items with the press of a button. They use the Tile Network to recover your lost items, so you have lengthy range, and Tile Premium adds even more features like item reimbursement, in the event you can't recover an item protected by your Tile tracker.

The best streaming stick deals on Prime Day: Grab a streaming stick for as low as $16

Mashable - 1 hour 42 min ago
The best Prime Day streaming stick deals at a glance: best overall Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Plus 24.99 (save $25 with on-page coupon) Get Deal best budget deal Amazon Fire TV Stick HD $15.99 (save $19) Get Deal best non-Amazon deal Google TV Streamer 4K $79.99 (save $20) Get Deal

If you're not ready to completely replace your old TV (and dish out the money to do so), but you want a speedier, more modern streaming experience, grabbing a streaming stick is the move. Their simple plug-and-play design can completely transform any TV with an HDMI port for a whole lot cheaper than getting a new one — especially if you grab one during Prime Day.

While Prime Day doesn't officially kick off until June 23, our shopping team has spotted lots of early deals worth grabbing. From streaming services to devices, I'll be tracking all of the best streaming deals throughout the Amazon Prime Day shopping event. And yes, there are also plenty of TV deals up for grabs if you are ready to take the leap.

While Amazon Fire TV Sticks are definitely running the show so far, I'll be keeping an eye out for more Roku, Google, and Apple TV streaming devices as we inch closer to the official event.

The Fire TV Stick 4K Plus is the most affordable Fire TV Stick in Amazon's lineup that offers 4K quality with HDR10+ support, as well as Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. It still features the old Android-based operating system, which can be slightly laggy, but overall it's well-loved by many longtime users. It also still allows for sideloading apps if you're into that. (Starting with the 4K Select model, all future Fire TV Sticks will switch to the Linux-based Vega operating system).

Be sure to click on the "redeem" button next to the on-page coupon code underneath the Prime logo and pricing details to score 50% off this streaming stick ahead of Prime Day. While there's a chance we could see an even lower price come Prime Day proper, this is currently its lowest price on record.
