How did we choose these October Prime Day deals?
ZDNET authors only write about deals that interest us personally and include products that we own, have tested, or want to buy. Our experts searched for deals that were at least 20% off (or were rarely on sale, as is often the case with Apple devices), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal actually represents good value for your money.
We also considered customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we’re recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing — in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter during limited-time events.
