Apple iPhone 13 pro max: Was £1,149, now £1,069, Amazon.co.uk (Apple)
Looking to upgrade your iPhone during the Prime Early Access Sale? Amazon has just discounted the price of Apple’s premium iPhone 13 pro max from last year. While it’s only a modest £80 saving on the 256GB model (the 1TB version has a £150 saving, taking it down to £1,229), it’s more than a miracle for the tech giant, which has a notorious allergy to big-ticket sales events.
The iPhone 13 pro max has a large 6.7in OLED screen, perfect for watching films while you’re on the go, or editing photos and videos. “The swathe of photographic improvements alone is worth upgrading for, made possible by a faster processor and better camera sensors, but there’s plenty more under the hood,” our tester said in our review of the handset. The iPhone’s first 120Hz display is another highlight.

These buds come with three different tip sizes so you can find the right fit for you, while changing the track number, volume and more can be done with a simple tap and swipe on the bud with your finger. If you’re still on the fence, it’s worth noting that these wireless earbuds landed a spot in our review of the best, where our tech writer described their audio as “outstanding: rich, lively and full of detail, they’re arguably the best on test”.

Disappointed that Apple didn’t launch a mini-sized iPhone this year? While the iPhone 13 mini isn’t on sale, the iPhone 12 mini is, and Amazon has given it a teeny-tiny price cut for the Prime Early Access sale. It is essentially the same as the iPhone 12, just shrunk down into a smaller form factor with a 5.4in OLED display and Face ID. “It also has the same design, performance, Ceramic Shield, and 5G connectivity just in a much more compact case,” said our writer in their review of the handset. The 64GB iPhone 12 mini has also had a £100 price cut, an ideal choice if you don’t mind having less storage.

Sony WH-1000XM5 wireless headphones: Was £380, now £295, Amazon.co.uk (Sony)

More importantly, our writer said these headphones sound absolutely divine. “Whether it’s orchestral music, rap, podcasts or your favourite pop tracks, the WH-1000XM5 handle it all with poise and gumption – they never miss a beat”.
