8 products that will definitely be discounted on Prime Day 2020

Amazon officially announced Prime Day 2020 will be October 13 and 14; this year, like 2019, the mega-sales event will span 48 hours. So, now that the date is definite, we can all start planning our shopping for Prime Day deals. Here’s something else that’s definite about Prime Day 2020: A select list of items Amazon has discounted throughout 2020  that are sure to be on sale during Prime Day.

You can count on hefty discounts for Amazon-owned brands such as Echo, Ring, Blink, Fire TV, Kindle, and Fire tablets. We chose the following eight high-demand products based on sales activity and pricing trends we’ve seen this year. For each of these products, we have predicted a Prime Day 2020 sale price, based on our research. Our price predictions aren’t guaranteed, nor are they inside info. However, by looking back a few years to see how Amazon priced the same or earlier models of these products, we believe these predictions will prove exact or very close and should help you decide what to buy on Prime Day.

Apple AirPods Pro

Apple AirP0ds Pro earbuds use active noise cancellation to immerse you in the sound you want to hear. Adaptive EQ sound equalization adjusts music automatically to match your ear shape. The sweat and water-resistant earbuds run for up to 24 or more when used with the wireless charging case to top off the battery during the day. Connect with Siri and connect to and control all of your Apple devices by saying, “Hey Siri.”  Apple AirPods Pro list for $249 and are currently on sale for $219 on Amazon. We predict Amazon will offer the AirPods Pro earbuds for $199 on Prime Day 2020.

Amazon's aptly-named Prime Early Access Sale is happening now, but it's the last day. It ends tonight! Like the original two-day Prime event in July, we've seen tons of savings on tech, toys, goodies, and more. Of course, you'll have to be an active Amazon Prime member to participate, but the good news is that you can sign-up for a 30-day trial, if you haven't already done so recently. If you're on the hunt for the best Prime Day AirPod Deals, or Apple Prime Day deals, you're in luck, since we're starting to see a lot of offers already. Don't forget, Amazon isn't the only place to shop during these deal extravaganzas! Walmart's October Rollbacks sale is essentially a Walmart Prime Day sale, with lots of enticing discounts.

As for Prime Early Access, it means that you have another chance to pick up both Prime Day AirPod deals and Prime Day deals in general, which is good, considering the latest versions of AirPods tend to be expensive.

Either way, you'll get a chance at some early holiday shopping Apple AirPods deals, and we've gone ahead and put together a list of the best Prime Day Apple AirPods deals to shop today.
