Amazon’s Prime Day tech deals are here again. Yes, already. The economy is tough right now, and if you're feeling this cost-of-living crisis, you probably don't need that shiny new thing. But if you do need it, you certainly won't want to pay full price. We put two pieces of research together for you: we track prices to make sure deals are actually deals and we only recommend stuff we believe is worth buying. Seriously: all the Prime Day tech deals you see here have been life-tested by the WIRED Reviews team in our own homes, often using our own families as guinea pigs.
If you haven't found the deal you want yet, browse our roundup of the Absolute Best Prime Day Deals.

The flagship Apple AirPods Pro 3 are its best wireless earbuds. Music sounds great, noise cancellation works well, and they offer excellent call quality. Apple added more ear tips for a better fit for small ears, new tools like heart rate sensing and live translation, and enhanced support for folks with hearing loss. If you use an iPhone, these are the wireless earbuds for you.

$1,199Amazon (S26+)
$1,400 $980 (30% off)Amazon (Ultra)
$900Samsung (S26)
The Samsung S26 Ultra was the pick of the bunch this year, with a cool privacy screen, blazing performance, long battery life, and an excellent camera, but all three of Samsung's S26 phones are on sale right now. These are the lowest prices they've been so far.

Moto G Stylus 2025
$400 $250 (38% off)Amazon
$400 $300 (25% off)Motorola
The Moto G Stylus is our pick of the best cheap phones under $400, and is is as low as it has ever been right now. If you miss a headphone jack and microSD card slot, this could be a winner. This is the 2025 model, but Motorola increased the price by $100 for the 2026 Moto G Stylus, and, apart from the upgraded active stylus, there’s little to justify the extra cost.

Samsung
Galaxy Watch8 and Watch8 Classic
$298 $220 (26% off)Amazon (40 mm)
$350 $220 (37% off)Samsung (40 mm)
This is a solid smartwatch, and an especially great choice if you have a Samsung Galaxy phone. You can save yourself a significant sum by opting for last year's model and Samsung's Galaxy Watch9 is only a modest upgrade over the Watch8, considering it's $120 more expensive.

3-in-1 Qi2 Charging Stand

$80Best Buy
$110Belkin
Anyone with a trio of Apple gadgets (iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods) will benefit from snagging one of the best Apple 3-in-1 wireless chargers for their nightstand, and this is my top pick. The wide base keeps it steady, enabling you to remove your iPhone from the magnetic wireless charging pad one-handed, the Watch pad lets any strap dangle, and the base has a spot for AirPods, too.

Shargeek 170 Power Bank
$169 $104 (38% off)Amazon
This power bank does it all. I love the translucent design, offering a peek at the electronic innards. It has a handy display with comprehensive stats, and it supports just about every fast charging protocol going. It packs 24,000 mAh of power and can charge at up to 140 watts, so it will juice up anything from a laptop down. It's even IP66 rated for water and dust resistance.

MacBook Air (M5, 2026)

$1,254Walmart
$1,299Apple
The M5 MacBook Air got a serious price hike at the end of June, bringing it up to $1,299. But this week, everyone's favorite laptop dropped to $1,099, which is the lowest price it's been at in months. It comes with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage, so you're getting a really solid configuration that should last you many years. The 15-inch model is also $200 off if you need a larger screen to work on. Regardless, this is the best laptop can buy at the price price I've seen it at in a while. —Luke Larsen

A tidy, affordable pair of PC speakers, Edifier's M60 is a bargain at its usual price, so this discount is not to be sniffed at.

The best iPad for most people, if you don't already have the iPad (11th-generation, A16), now is the time to buy. The 11-inch screen is perfect for kicking back on the couch with a book, game, or movie. It has a pair of 12-megapixel cameras, and Touch ID in the power button.

Kindle Scribe (3rd Generation)
$500Amazon (32 GB)
$550Amazon (64 GB)
Fancy an e-reader that can also serve as a digital notebook? Amazon's third-generation Kindle Scribe has you covered. It's slim, with an 11-inch screen, smart stylus, and a bunch of AI features. It's a go-to choice for note-takers and students. While we recommend the older model in our best Kindles guide, that's mainly due to the lower price, and this is a better option when it's on sale. Such as right now.

If you're looking for an easy security system and you don't mind paying a pricey subscription ($10 per month or $96 a year for a single camera, $20 per month or $216 a year for unlimited cameras), Arlo is the way to go. This outdoor camera captures 2K video, has a 160-degree field of view, two-way audio, and direct Wi-Fi connection. It's the best of the best outdoor security cameras.

Restore 3
$170Amazon
$170Hatch
Combining a white noise machine, sunrise alarm light, and clock into a single device designed to help lull you to sleep and wake you gently, Hatch's third generation Restore is an all-in-one way to establish a healthy sleep routine. It also enables you to leave your phone outside the bedroom. It's annoying that you need a subscription to unlock all the content, but if it helps you get a better night's sleep, it's worth it.
