Frequently Asked Questions
When is Amazon Prime Day 2024?
Amazon Prime Day 2024 will be officially running from July 16 at 12:01 a.m. PDT through July 17. However, you can expect deals to appear ahead of the event and competitors — such as Walmart And Best Buy — will also be hosting their own version of the summer sale.
When does Prime Day start?
Prime Day 2024 will begin on Tuesday, July 16, at 12:01 a.m. PT and run through Wednesday, July 17. The annual two-day sale will last 48 hours, though deals will start appearing ahead of time and some discounts may last for a few days afterward. Keep in mind that the best deals are likely to sell out quickly.
Are Apple Products Really Cheaper on Prime Day?
Apple rarely offers promotions and discounts on its products, and given the generally high prices, you may have to wait a while before upgrading your device. So events like Prime Day and Black Friday are great opportunities to save money—but the discounts are usually low, with many of the deals we’ve seen offering discounts of around five to 20 percent at most.
Will the iPad be on sale on Prime Day?
Yes. It would be extremely unusual for there to be no deals on the Apple iPad lineup. These tablets are incredibly popular, and given the number of options available — including the iPad mini, the standard iPad, and the iPad Pro models — we can count on discounts.
How did we pick these Prime Day deals?
ZDNET writers and reviewers will only include deals that come to our attention: products we’ve personally experienced, want, or would recommend to our readers.
We use our own experience, knowledge, and research to assess the value of a Prime Day deal, along with price tracking tools and services, to compare historical price data and determine whether we consider the deal to be a good value. Furthermore, we look at the price itself: even if we have seen a product at a lower price in the past, if the new price is still a good value, we will consider including it.
We like to see discounts of at least 20%, but in some cases — like Apple deals, which often have lower discounts — we may still offer an offer if it proves to be good value for money.
