If you are already eyeing your holiday wish list, you are not alone. Amazon’s October Prime Day, officially called Prime Big Deal Days, is around the corner and early markdowns are already live. With more than 200 million Prime members worldwide, hot items tend to move fast, and many of the best prices show up before the main event. We rounded up standout early deals across Apple gear, streaming gadgets, home cleaning, audio, storage, and creator tools, plus a useful gaming availability update. Most of these offers require an active Prime membership, though a few are open to everyone. Prices and stock can shift quickly, so consider striking while the price is right if something you want appears below.
Apple deals to watch now
Apple’s latest AirPods Pro 3 are down to $239, which is $10 off, and they bring stronger noise cancellation and audio along with onboard heart-rate tracking and real-time translation. If you live inside the iPhone ecosystem, these are among the most seamless in-ear ANC buds you can buy. The new MagSafe Charger with Qi2 support is $35 at 30 percent off, and it can hit up to 25W when paired with a 30W adapter; the extra-long 2 meter cable makes bedside or desk placement easier. For tablets, the refreshed iPad with the A16 chip is $299, a $50 discount, and it doubles base storage compared to the prior model, though it does not support Apple’s on-device AI suite. Creators and students who want macOS power without the footprint should look at the Mac mini with M4 at $499, which is $100 off, with 16GB of RAM standard and front USB-C and headphone jacks for quick access. If you prefer a do-it-all tablet for work and play, the 11-inch iPad Air with M3 is $449, a hefty $150 off, and it delivers a meaningful speed bump over M2 while staying far below Pro pricing.
Mobile power and everyday carry
Keeping phones charged on the move is easier with Prime-exclusive cuts on Anker’s magnetic batteries. The Anker 622 5K Magnetic Power Bank with Stand is $34 at 29 percent off, and it is about half an inch thick, attaches with MagSafe-style magnets, and flips into a kickstand for hands-free viewing. The Anker Nano 5K Ultra-Slim Power Bank with Qi2 wireless charging at 15W is $46 with a 16 percent discount, and it pairs a pocketable silhouette with a premium finish. For longer days out, the Anker MagGo 10K Power Bank with Qi2 at 15W drops to $63, 22 percent off for Prime members, and its 10,000 mAh capacity can fully recharge most phones at least once with room to spare. Rounding out the grab bag is the Jisulife Life7 Handheld Fan for $25 with a 14 percent Prime-only discount; it converts for tabletop, handheld, or neck-worn use, runs off a 5,000 mAh battery, and shows remaining power on a built-in display.
Streaming sticks and smart TV upgrades
If you are upgrading a living room or adding streaming to a guest room, a few crowd-pleasers are on sale. The Roku Streaming Stick Plus 2025 sits at $29 with 27 percent off, giving you a compact dongle with a deep app library and lots of free channels. Amazon’s Fire TV Stick 4K Max is $40, a 33 percent discount, and it supports 4K HDR, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, Wi-Fi 6E, and double the storage of entry Fire TV sticks for smoother app juggling. Power users who want the fastest Fire experience should consider the Fire TV Cube at $100 with 29 percent off, which adds 4K HDR with Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, Wi-Fi 6E, an Ethernet port, ample internal storage, and an enhanced Alexa remote. Any of these will refresh an older TV, and they each play nicely with the major streaming services.
Home cleaning and air quality
Early Big Deal Days also includes practical home helpers. The Leebein 2025 Electric Spin Scrubber is $40 for Prime members, a sizable 43 percent discount, and arrives with seven brush heads, an adjustable arm for tight spaces, IPX7 water resistance, and USB-C charging. For low-maintenance floors, the Shark AI Robot Vacuum with a self-empty base drops to $300 at 54 percent off, with strong suction, home mapping, and app scheduling; the base stores roughly two months of debris. Air quality gets a lift with the Levoit Core 200S Smart Air Purifier at $75 when you apply a $15 coupon. It suits small rooms up to 140 square feet, uses a 3-in-1 filter for fine particles and allergens, and supports app controls plus Alexa or Google voice commands. These are not flashy buys, but they free up time and help keep spaces healthier.
Personal audio and portable speakers
Value earbuds and compact speakers also see solid cuts. The Anker Soundcore Space A40 earbuds are $45 at 44 percent off, and they punch above their price with standout active noise cancellation, balanced sound, a comfy fit, and multipoint connectivity for hopping between devices. The Anker Soundcore Select 4 Go speaker lands at $23 with 34 percent off, offering bigger sound than its size suggests, IP67 dust and water protection, and stereo pairing with a second unit. JBL’s Go 4 portable speaker is $40, 20 percent off, and it is pocketable, IP67-rated, and outfitted with a carry loop; expect roughly seven hours per charge along with stereo pairing support. Any of these make easy gifts or travel companions.
Storage and creator gear
If you need affordable storage for phones, tablets, cameras, or handhelds, the Samsung EVO Select microSD in 256GB falls to $23 at 15 percent off. It is a reliable pick for general-purpose expansion and media offloading. For creators, the Rode Wireless Go III drops to $199 with 30 percent off and delivers professional-grade wireless audio with onboard recording and 32-bit float capture. It works with phones, cameras, and computers, making it a flexible kit upgrade for interviews, vlogging, and live events. Deals like these tend to disappear quickly during October sales.
Gaming availability update
The Nintendo Switch 2 is listed at $449 and is now purchasable on Amazon without requesting an invitation. A Mario Kart bundle is available the same way. There is no discount attached, but the removal of the invite requirement eases a major availability pain point. If you held off due to waitlist friction, this is a good time to check out before stock shifts.
Deal access notes
Most offers are limited to Prime subscribers, which carry an annual fee, and a handful are open to all shoppers. Several items are marked Prime exclusive, and some require you to clip a coupon on the product page to see the final price. Early deals will continue to roll out ahead of the main sale, and we will refresh this list as new discounts appear. Prices were accurate at the time of writing but can change quickly and quantities may be limited. Features like Qi2 fast wireless charging or 4K HDR playback require compatible adapters, devices, or displays, so check your setup before you buy.
