The highlight of Prime Early Access was the 32GB Apple TV 4K down to $109.99, from $179.00. You can still get this model and the 64GB model for $69 off on Amazon. We did see a slightly lower price at the height of the event, but these prices are still solid deals and very steep discounts on the streaming device.
Amazon introduced a solid price on the AirPods 2, available for $89.99 ($39 off), during its Prime Early Access Sale, and you can still get this deal right now. Compared to past sales, this is a second-best price.

I think the price hike on the Mini 6 turned out to be a mistake on Apple's part. I'm sure some folks will come in shouting that it's the scrolling, but that's not in touch with reality. $499 is just too expensive for most folks when it comes to a 'small' tablet - especially when the cheap iPad is larger and $200 less for the same amount of storage.
