Amazon has deals on nearly all of its own services for Prime Day 2019

By

With Amazon Prime Day coming soon, many shoppers may assume the best deals are for smart home devices, Instant Pots, and robot vacuums. But Amazon also discounts Prime Day prices on Amazon services like Audible, Amazon Music Unlimited, Kindle Unlimited, AmazonFresh, and more.

In the run-up to Prime Day, which lasts 48 hours this year on July 15 and July 16, Amazon has been releasing pre-Prime Day deals to build shopper excitement and to keep other retailers on their toes. We’ve been tracking the deals as Amazon releases them and making predictions about pricing for popular products. We have found early discounts on Amazon Services, listed below. We also list additional services deals we expect but have not yet been able to verify.

Verified Amazon services

Amazon Music Unlimited

Amazon Music Unlimited is one of the most popular services. Subscribers have unlimited access to virtually any song, on demand, and without bothersome advertising. You can listen online or offline and manage your access hands-free with Alexa. The regular subscription price is $8 a month, but from now until midnight July 16, PT, you can subscribe for four months for $1. After the four months, unless you cancel, you will be billed $8 each month until you cancel your subscription.

Time is running out to get this 50-inch 4K TV for $200 at Amazon

There aren't many hours left to check out the Prime Day deals but there's still enough time to buy one of the cheapest Prime Day TV deals we've seen throughout the sales event. That deal is being able to buy a Pioneer 50-inch 4K TV for just $160, saving you a hefty 50% or $160 off the regular price of $320. It's not often we see a TV as cheap as this, especially when it's 4K and a good size for most living rooms. If you're in need of a cheap TV, this is a great option to pursue. However, you really don't have long to buy it as Prime Day ends today. We're talking mere hours to go. You've got time to check out what we know about the TV but from there, make a purchase quickly if it's the one for you. You'll hate it if you miss out on a TV at 50% off.

Why you should buy the Pioneer 50-inch 4K TV
Pioneer may not be one of the best TV brands around but it's well-established and not exactly a no-name choice. No one is expecting one of the best TVs when they're paying $150 but this one covers all the basics and a little more too. For instance, besides its 4K resolution, it also has Dolby Vision support so you get sharper contrast and better picture quality than ones that don't support it. It's those kind of things that soon add up.

These Ring Video Doorbell deals are set to expire this evening
Digital Trends Best Prime Day Ring Doorbell Deals

With Prime Day deals only having a few more hours to run, there's still time to snag a great deal on excellent video doorbells. As is often the way with Amazon-owned devices, there are some fantastic Prime Day Ring Doorbell deals going on, but you really don't have long to make a purchase. It's the last day of Prime Day so this is your chance for a sweet Ring doorbell deal. With plenty of great options available, we've picked out our favorite below, as well as highlighted a few alternatives. That way, there should be something for everyone here.
Our Favorite Prime Day Ring Doorbell Deal

If you aren't sure which Ring Video Doorbell you should buy this Prime Day, then we recommend you check out this Ring Video Doorbell 2nd generation, which is not only budget-friendly but has great features. For example, it can be installed wirelessly, so you don't have to figure out extra cables to your power or existing chime, and it makes life a lot easier. That said, it does come with the downside that recharging the internal battery is a bit of a pain since it's not removable, and the charging port of the Ring is on the back, so you have to pop the whole thing off. Even so, it only uses about 1% battery life per day, so it should last you at least two to three months, depending on how heavy your usage is.

However, that does still leave you enough time to buy the Apple MacBook Air M1 while it remains at its lowest-ever price at Amazon. Right now, you can buy it for $750 saving you $249 or 25% off the usual price of $999. It's a great entry point for anyone looking to buy a new MacBook and easily one of the best Prime Day MacBook deals. While it might not have the latest M2 chip, the M1 chip remains exceptional and more than powerful enough for most people. You're really not missing out on much given the price difference involved. Here's a quick look at what else you need to know before you hit the buy button. Remember -- you really haven't got long left to do so.

Why you should buy the Apple MacBook Air M1
Back when it was first launched, we described the Apple MacBook Air M1 as "fast, fanless, and absolutely fantastic". It remains all of those things. We've broken down the differences between the M2 and M1 and while the newer chip is better, it's less of a substantial difference than you'd think.
