Amazon Early Prime Access Sale countdown: save up to $300 on Apple now

Electronics are on sale ahead of the October Amazon Prime event.

The Prime-exclusive savings kick off at midnight Pacific on Oct. 11, but there are discounts already available on numerous Apple products, with discounts of up to $300 off (and many do not require a Prime membership). Quantities are limited in many cases and the deals may change or sell out before the Prime Early Access Sale officially commences. We've rounded up our favorite offers below, but there are hundreds more in our Apple Price Guide.

And stay tuned throughout the week, as the AppleInsider Deals Team will be working around the clock to bring you the top discounts during the Prime early holiday deal event, with exclusive savings from Apple resellers that regularly beat Amazon's own deals.
