Cyber Monday 2020 is finally here and it’s the biggest sale to date.
The official event runs through the weekend through Cyber Monday, but brands and retailers started their pre-sale deals earlier than ever.
Amazon has broken that precedent this year by beginning its pre-sale a month before the entire Black Friday event.
Apple is notoriously reluctant to join in on the sales. It typically only offers gift cards with eligible purchases on Cyber Monday rather than product discounts.
Amazon’s Cyber Monday deal offers a discount on Apple AirPods that is hard to miss. Read our expert review of the headphones below, along with everything you need to know about the deal itself.
