It’s always a little awkward when this many deals survive what was supposed to be the “end” of a big Amazon sale. Nevertheless, I’m happy to say that most of the sale’s heaviest-hitting deals are still around — Apple’s discounts on its Mac Mini, MacBook Air, and AirPods Pro 3, plus all of Sony’s current and last-gen flagship headphones, and more. In some cases, prices went up a smidge but are still worth checking out.
Like earlier this week, some of the deals on Amazon require a Prime subscription, while others do not. Many of these deals are available on competing sites, including Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and in some cases from the products’ manufacturer. You can sort the deals below by category.
We’ll be back to our regular deal coverage tomorrow.
