FAQ
When is Amazon Prime Day 2024?
Amazon Prime Day 2024 will officially run from July 16 at 12:01 a.m. PDT through July 17. However, you can expect deals to appear before the event and competitors, such as Walmart And Best buy — will also be hosting its own version of a summer sale.
When does Prime Day start?
Prime Day 2024 kicks off on Tuesday, July 16 at 12:01 a.m. PT and runs through Wednesday, July 17. The annual two-day sale will last for 48 hours, but deals will start appearing ahead of time, and some discounts may persist for a few days afterward. Keep in mind that products with the best deals will likely sell out quickly.
Are Apple products really cheaper on Prime Day?
Apple rarely runs sales and discounts on its products, and given the generally high price tag, you might want to wait a while before upgrading your gear. So events like Prime Day and Black Friday are great opportunities to save money, but the discounts are often still small, with many deals we’ve seen offering around 5-20% off, at most.
Will iPads be on sale on Prime Day?
Yes. It would be extremely unusual for there to be no deals available on Apple’s iPad range. These tablets are very popular and given the number of options currently available on the market (including the iPad mini, standard iPad and iPad Pro models), we can expect discounts to appear.
How did we choose these Prime Day deals?
ZDNET authors and reviewers will only include deals that catch our eye: products we have hands-on experience with, want, or would recommend to our readers.
We use our own experience, knowledge, and research to judge the value of a deal that appears during Prime Day, as well as price tracking tools and services to compare historical pricing data and determine whether or not we consider a deal to have real value. Additionally, we consider the price itself: even if we’ve seen a product with a lower price in the past, if the new price is still valid, we’ll consider the product for inclusion.
We like to see discounts of at least 20%, but in some cases (like Apple deals, which often offer smaller discounts) we may still include a deal if it’s a good value.
