THE BEST sales are often the ones we never saw coming. Recently, Amazon announced the Prime Early Access Sale, and per their official announcement it looks like the fall Prime Day shopping event will be occurring October 11th and 12th.
While some might be wondering why Amazon needs an early holiday sale, we see this as the perfect event to score on shopping before the actual Black Friday madness ensues. After all, Black Friday seems to only get more intense with each new year, and the fact Amazon is basically setting a “fall Prime Day” or a “Prime Day 2” a month before the usual shopping occurs makes us feel, well, alleviated.

As of now there’s no telling what specific Apple products will go on sale for the Prime Early Access Sale on October 11th and 12th, but the good news is there are already tons of early deals (as you’ve noticed above). In fact, many of these current prices on Apple tech could stay the same. So if you’re looking to get a head start now is a timely opportunity. Better to be early than to be late and miss out!
When Is Amazon Prime Day 2?
Per Amazon’s official announcement that just released, Amazon Prime Day 2, now officially being called Amazon’s Prime Early Access Sale, will be happening on October 11th and 12th of 2022. The 48-hour event begins October 11 at 12 a.m. PDT.
This is a unique event for the retailer, as Amazon has yet to pull off two Prime member events in one year. However the timing has never been better, especially with fall Prime Day occurring right on the cusp of all the chaotic Black Friday shopping that’s about to go down.
Will Apple Products Be on Sale During Prime Early Access Sale?
While Apple was not specifically mentioned in the Amazon announcement memo, it’s likely there will be tons of deals to be had on Apple products. Based on the information we know on how Apple discounts historically have happened during Prime events, as well as the fact we just had a ton of new Apple product announcements, we’re watching for deals on the AirPods Pro (1st gen) and older generation models of the Apple Watch. On top of these products it’s also likely there could be deals on AirTags, iPads, and more.
