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.
