PSA: Apple Airpods are at their lowest price ever
Thanks to Amazon Prime Day, Apple’s wildly popular AirPods Pro 2 earbuds have fallen to just £179, the lowest price they’ve ever been. I’ve been covering Black Friday for years and this Prime Day deal has blown the former’s Apple deals out the water.
If you need further convincing to invest, our tech critic has more details below.
Apple AirPods pro 2nd generation: Was £229, now £179, Amazon.co.uk

The AirPods pro earbuds offer a “significant improvement over the already-splendid first-generation model,” praised our tech critic David Phelan in his review. “The case now includes Apple’s U1 chip, which means you can use the Find My app on your iPhone, say, to locate it when you’ve misplaced it,” he added.
They also featured in our review of the best wireless earbuds, with our tester noting they “fit the ear well and stay put securely, and there are now four sizes of silicone ear tips to ensure decent sound isolation”.

Our tech writer loves the Google pixel 8 pro – and it’s on sale
Some of the best discounts during Prime Day can be found on tech. Case in point: this impressive saving on a Google Pixel 8 pro phone, as recommended by our tech expert.

Discounted by 30 per cent, Google’s flagship Pixel 8 Pro is one of the best smartphones our tech writer Steve has ever tested. “This year’s Pixel phones go hard on fancy generative AI features, but underpinning all of Google’s software cleverness is an excellent device boasting a significant hardware upgrade over last year’s model,” they said in their review.
“With a telephoto lens and extra RAM, as well as a Tensor G3 processor, AI-fuelled photo editing features and a glorious 120Hz display, it’s the Android device to beat.” I’m sold.

This is the best Prime Day deal on a Eufy robot vacuum
Taking the hassle out of cleaning your home, I’ve had a robot vacuum on the wishlist for a while – but they don’t come cheap. Prime Day has only just begin but I’ve potentially found the best deal on a model already. Reduced by more than 50 per cent, this Eufy model is tried and tested, and just over £100.

When it comes to vacuum cleaners, suction is vital. In our round-up of the best robot vacuum cleaners, our expert tester noted that the Eufy robovac 15c has “good suction for the price, and handles dirt and dust on hardwood floors and medium-pile rugs with ease.”
If you have a mix of floors in your home, “the sensors can tell when the robot moves from carpet to hard floors and adjusts the suction strength to suit the situation.” The robot’s compact, slim 7.2cm height also allows it to glide under furniture effortlessly, tackling areas that you’d otherwise have to bend down to reach.

Best Amazon Prime Day tips
Myself and the IndyBest team have been covering the Amazon Prime Day since it started in 2015. We’ve been plucking out discounts and tracking prices for years, so, we know when something’s a good deal and when it’s a dud.
True to form, we’ll be highlighting the very best deals on all the most sought-after products in this non-stop liveblog, every waking (and sleeping) hour of the 48-hour sale.
To get prepared, if there are any items you’re desperate to get your hands on, we recommend adding them to your wish list ahead of time, so you can check out more quickly when the sale rolls around. It’s also worth downloading the Amazon app – the retailer will continue to drop “lightning deals” throughout the sale, and these are only around for a few hours at a time. You can also set up alerts, so you’re pinged when a discount goes live.
