Prime Big Deal Days: October 6 and 7
Here’s how this page works: the biggest discounts on products we recommend are up top. Right after that, we’ll take you through a few recent products we’ve reviewed that have gone on sale, plus a buy or now wait guide, if you want our opinion on whether or not there will likely be a better discount come Black Friday. Then wrap it all up: all the deals for every product category we cover.
Oh, and we’ve added in some fun Halloween easter eggs throughout. Click/tap them…if you dare!
The Big Ones: 35% Off or More
The Roborock Saros Z70 is 53% off, the Philips Hue Starter Kit is just over half off, and the Galaxy Watch 7 (renewed) is down 46%. And if you just need a good HDMI cable, the one we use is under six bucks.

Reviewed, Tested, and On Sale
AirPods Pro 3
“For the times I want to use AirPods, out of all the AirPods I could potentially reach for, the AirPods Pro 3 are still the ones I pick up every time.”
From our AirPods Pro 3 Review
Why we like them: The noise cancellation is a clear step up from the AirPods Pro 2 (good enough to finally wear while cooking), and you also get excellent mics and Transparency Mode, a more comfortable fit, and 8 hours of battery with ANC on. The big catch is that after a few weeks, the ANC on both pairs we tested developed a hollow, ocean-like background noise, which toggling Transparency Mode temporarily fixes.

The deal: At $179 (28% off), they’re under the $199 mark we said to wait for, so if you want AirPods, this is a good time to grab them. If noise cancellation is your top priority, the Sony WF-1000XM6 (22% off at $258) is the one we’d still pick. Watch our Sony WF-1000XM6 review.
Roborock Saros 10R and Z70
“They probably save me at least an hour a week, considering they not only vacuum but mop.”
From our Roborock Saros Z70 and 10R Review
Why we like them: Cleaning has been excellent on both carpet and hard floors; the spinning mop brushes beat the vibrating pads on older Roborocks, and navigation is good enough that they dodge almost every cord. Both can finish two cleaning runs on a single charge.

The deal: The Z70 is about $950 and the 10R is about $885. In the review, we said the Z70 only made sense if the robotic arm cost a few hundred more, and back then it was on sale for about $1,200. With the Z70 only about $65 more than the 10R, the arm is close to a free novelty. Just know the Z70 has a smaller onboard dust bin, and the 10R’s roller brush should still clean a little better.
iPhone Air and the MagSafe Battery
“After six months, I don’t think I’d ever go back to carrying a heavier phone just for battery headroom I rarely need.”
From our iPhone Air Review
Why we like it: At 165 g, it’s the lightest, thinnest iPhone we’ve used, Ceramic Shield 2 has held up for months without a screen protector, and battery life has been all-day for light to moderate use. It’s been our favorite iPhone in years.
If you buy something from a link, 6 Months Later may earn a commission. See our ethics policy.
The deal: The iPhone Air itself is around $757 (renewed) on Amazon right now, and the iPhone Air MagSafe Battery is 40% off ($59). That’s exactly the pairing we recommended if you travel a lot or won’t always be near a charger.
M5 MacBook Air
Why we like it: Apple’s build quality, one of our favorite keyboards to type on, MagSafe 3, and battery life that’s lived up to Apple’s 15 hour rating. It even handled 4K video editing without a stutter.
If you buy something from a link, 6 Months Later may earn a commission. See our ethics policy.
The deal: Both sizes are 13 to 15% off right now, which is a real cut, and with RAM prices where they are, we wouldn’t count on it getting much better. And if you’re tempted by the 70W charger upgrade, our advice from the review still stands: put that money toward the Anker 4-port charger instead.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra
Why we like it: Class-leading battery life (it’s lasted over two days on a charge multiple times), 75% in 30 minutes fast charging, performance that smashes the Pixel 11 Pro in benchmarks, and a Privacy Display that actually works as advertised.

![Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro AI True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds, Noise Cancelling, Sound Optimization, Redesigned Comfort Fit, Silver [US Version, Amazon Exclusive, 2Yr Warranty]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41lJzPsRHjL._SL160_.jpg)
The deal: At $979.99 (30% off), this is the deal. In the review, we noted it’s typically on sale closer to $1,000, and it dropped even lower than that during June’s Prime Day, but with Apple’s recent price increase, we wouldn’t count on it getting much cheaper. Note that some colors, like Pink Gold, are Samsung.com exclusives.
Quick Takes
Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2 (18% off): Some of the best noise cancellation you can buy, though the sound quality didn’t wow us for the price. A good pick if ANC is your top priority. Watch our review.
Apple Pencil Pro ($99): If you picked up an iPad Pro or iPad Air this year, this is the price other early deal roundups are flagging too. Watch our M5 iPad Pro review.
Sony WF-1000XM5 (25% off): The XM6 we just reviewed is 22% off too ($258), only $10 more, so we’d go with the newer pair. Watch our XM6 review.
