Prime Day 2023 isn't here yet but the deals aren't waiting

By
Prime Day is officially July 11 through 12, but the deals won't wait until then.

UPDATE: Jun. 30, 2023, 3:30 p.m. EDT This post has been updated to reflect current sale prices across several categories ahead of Prime Day.

We all know someone who refers to their entire birth month as their birthday. That's kind of how Amazon treats Prime Day.

On June 21, Amazon announced that Prime Day 2023 will start on July 11 at 3 a.m. ET and run through the end of July 12, which lines up with the familiar early-week, mid-July time slot that we've gotten used to since Prime Day outgrew its original single-day nature. New deals will drop every 30 minutes throughout that Tuesday and Wednesday.

Other deals, however, are already dropping. Like now.

Announcement day doubled as kickoff day for early access to select Prime Day deals. Some are invite-only (like this $99.99 43-inch Amazon Omni 4K Fire TV) and many are only available to Prime members — kind of the whole point. However, live sales from many big brands (like the Apple and Roborock deals below) that precede Prime Day aren't officially associated with the early event and don't require a Prime membership to unlock the deal.

We're tracking the best early Prime Day deals at Amazon below and refreshing the list constantly.

If you're looking to compare prices at competing sales from Walmart, Best Buy, and Target, we're tracking those, too.

Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price. Amazon's exclusive invite-only deals are marked with a 📨.

Amazon device deals

Our pick: Echo Buds (2021) (opens in a new tab)
$84.99 (save $55)
(opens in a new tab)

Why we like it

Amazon's 2021 version of the Echo Buds is a solid AirPod alternative thanks to its active noise cancellation feature that can help drown out unwanted background noise without making things too quiet. The earbuds also allow for customizable EQ, and work with other voice assistants like Siri and Google (not just Alexa). Ahead of Prime Day, you can snag a pair for just $84.99, $55 off the original price.

Our pick: 2021 iPad (WiFi) 🔥 (opens in a new tab)
$249.99 (save $79.01 with coupon)
(opens in a new tab)

Why we like it

The most recent 10.2-inch iPad — just iPad — is well under $300 and at its lowest price ever with its 24% discount at Amazon, making it approachable for anyone who definitely wants an Apple tablet but wants to avoid Pro prices. The 9th generation iPad features upgrades like the speedier A13 Bionic chip, a True Tone display, and a better front-facing camera for crispier FaceTiming. As always, it works with the first-generation Apple Pencil.

Vacuum deals

Our pick: Roborock S8+ (opens in a new tab)
$799.99 (save $200 with coupon)
(opens in a new tab)

Why we like it

Roborock just released their new S8 Series robot vacuums in spring 2023, so we're psyched to see them on sale already. Compared to one of our previous-favorite hybrids, the S7, the S8 introduces AI-powered obstacle avoidance, amped suction power, and dual roller brushes underneath. Roborock says that those last two improvements lead to a 30% increase in hair pickup. The "plus" version also includes a self-empty dock that holds at least two months' worth of debris before you have to empty it.

Our pick: Amazon 43-inch Omni 4K Fire TV 📨 (opens in a new tab)
$99.99 (save $300)
(opens in a new tab)

Why we like it

You can't not take advantage of Amazon's flagship 4K TV being under $100 — that's an unbelievably rare price for a 43-inch 4K model from any brand. (If you're one of the lucky Prime members who has this invite-only deal unlocked, you'll make it work.) The Omni is the smoothest way to experience Amazon's crowd-favorite Fire TV platform and intuitive app navigation. The two larger Omni sizes get particularly good marks for their crisp HDR handling due to their support for Dolby Vision.

JBL Live 660NC 📨 🔥 (opens in a new tab)
$89.95 (save $110)
(opens in a new tab)

Why we like it

We know, we know, another invite-only deal, but Amazon made them extra exclusive for a reason. At $89.95, these JBL headphones are $10 cheaper than they've ever been, making them by far some of the cheapest headphones that offer up to 50 hours (!!!) of battery life.

Note: AirPods and Echo Buds deals can be found under the Apple and Amazon device deals sections respectively.

Gaming deals

Xbox Series X 'Diablo IV' Bundle (opens in a new tab)
$549 (save $10)
(opens in a new tab)

Why we like it

Amazon already has the Xbox Series X Diablo IV Bundle on sale for $10 off. $10 off of a $500-something console isn't huge monetarily, but it's pretty significant in terms of timing — the highly-anticipated game just came out at the beginning of June and the standalone version itself hasn't even been on sale yet.

Petkit PuraX Self-Cleaning Litter Box (opens in a new tab)
$399 (save $100)
(opens in a new tab)

Why we like it

Out of all the automatic litter boxes we've looked into, the Petkit PuraX is the best one for skittish cats: "Its ergonomic shape more closely follows the traditional enclosed litter box that fraidy cats may find more approachable, with a flat top for potential storage or cat naps," writes Mashable senior shopping reporter Leah Stodart. Controlled via a mobile app (with multiple cleaning modes), it features a built-in deodorizing system and a large, seven-liter waste container that can fit cats up to 18 pounds.

SodaStream E-Terra Sparkling Water Maker 📨 (opens in a new tab)
$89.99 (save $70)
(opens in a new tab)

Why we like it

Another of Amazon's seriously impressive invite-only deals, the internet's favorite sparkling water maker can add some fizz to the flavor of your choice and save a few bottles or cans along the way. SodaStream's spring 2023 release, the E-Terra, rocks a new interface with three settings of electronic carbonation control and lights up when bubbling.

American Tourister 28-inch Moonlight Hardside Spinner Suitcase in iridescent black (opens in a new tab)
$119.69 (save $100.30)
(opens in a new tab)

Why we like it

You shouldn't have a hard time distinguishing your suitcase from other luggage on the carousel with this subtly-cosmic piece. The iridescent black version of American Tourister's largest Moonlight hardside spinner is 28 inches and expandable to maximize packing space. Amazon's deal also beats American Tourister's own website: This color is no longer available there, and the other 28-inchers are only on sale for $153.99.

Instagram accidentally reinstated Pornhub’s banned account

By
After years of on-and-off temporary suspensions, Instagram permanently banned Pornhub’s account in September. Then, for a short period of time this weekend, the account was reinstated. By Tuesday, it was permanently banned again. “This was done in error,” an Instagram spokesperson told TechCrunch. “As we’ve said previously, we permanently disabled this Instagram account for repeatedly violating our policies.” Instagram’s content guidelines prohibit  nudity and sexual solicitation . A Pornhub spokesperson told TechCrunch, though, that they believe the adult streaming platform’s account did not violate any guidelines. Instagram has not commented on the exact reasoning for the ban, or which policies the account violated. It’s worrying from a moderation perspective if a permanently banned Instagram account can accidentally get switched back on. Pornhub told TechCrunch that its account even received a notice from Instagram, stating that its ban had been a mistake (that message itself w

Colorado police identified the serial killer who murdered 4 women 40 years ago after exhuming his body to analyze a DNA sample

By
A scientist examines computer images of DNA models. Getty Images Police in Colorado have cracked the cold cases of four women killed 40 years ago. Denver PD said genetic genealogy and DNA analysis helped them identify the serial killer. He had died by suicide in jail in 1981. DNA from his exhumed body matched evidence from the murders. Police in Colorado have cracked the code on four murder cases that went unsolved for 40 years, using DNA from the killer's exhumed body. The cases pertain to four women killed in the Denver metro area between 1978 and 1981. They were 33-year-old Madeleine Furey-Livaudais, 53-year-old Dolores Barajas, 27-year-old Gwendolyn Harris, and 17-year-old Antoinette Parks. The four women were stabbed to death. Denver Police Commander Matt Clark said in a press conference Friday that there was an "underlying sexual component" to the murders but didn't elaborate further. In 2009, a detective reviewed Parks' case and picked several p

The firm is now all grown up with an acceleration program and a full-fledged VC fund. The accelerator is now called Axeleo Scale , while the fund is called Axeleo Capital .

If they’re doing well over the 12 to 18 months of the program, Axeleo funds those startups using its VC fund. Limited partners behind the company’s first fund include Bpifrance through the French Tech Accélération program, the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, Vinci Energies, Crédit Agricole, BNP Paribas, Caisse d’Épargne Rhône-Alpes as well as various business angels and family offices.
