Early Deals Arrive Ahead of Amazon’s October Sale

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days is scheduled for October 6 and 7, with selected discounts already appearing at Amazon and other retailers ahead of the two-day event. Deal coverage describes early offers across electronics, smart-home products, household items and apparel, though prices and availability vary by listing and may change. Amazon’s fall sale is open to Prime members, according to the reports. Retailers including Walmart, Target, Macy’s and Best Buy have also listed early discounts, including on Apple products. The offers span more than one retailer, so not every promotion is an Amazon listing or necessarily limited to Prime members. Among the highlighted Apple deals, a report listed a $200 discount on Apple’s M4-powered iPad Pro. The model remains a premium tablet, but the report noted that it is not as fast as the newer M5 iPad Pro and may suit shoppers who do not need the latest version. Other reported Apple offers included discounts on headphones, MacBooks and accessories, although the listings and prices differ by product and retailer. A separate deal report described Amazon Renewed Premium 1TB iPhone 17 Pro Max units starting at $1,385.78.
