Next week is when Prime Day 2021 begins. We'll be here early on Monday and continue scouring deals through Tuesday night, bringing you the best deals on the tech we know you'll like. However, before that, on Sunday, is Father's Day. If you've already gotten a gift for the dad in your life, hopefully you'll be able to celebrate together in some manner. But, if you haven't yet, it's never too late to get one through our thoughtfully-curated gift guide.
Get $20 off Apple's HomePod Mini — the best-ever price
At Apple-authorized retailer Simply Mac, you can get a HomePod Mini in either space gray or white for $80 (usually $100). This is the lowest price we've seen for this miniature HomePod yet. It doesn't sound as good as other smart speakers in its price range, notably the fourth-gen Amazon Echo or the Google Nest Audio, both of which are $75 right now in the lead-up for Prime Day. However, the HomePod Mini is a great performer for its size, says my colleague Dan Seifert in our review. There's no listed end date or time for this deal, so be quick about it if you want to get the lower price.
Apple HomePod Mini$80 $100 20% off Apple's latest smart speaker is the HomePod Mini. It's more affordable than the standard HomePod, normally costing $99, and its output is predictably smaller. However, it has many of the same features. |

Whether for Father's Day or for yourself, Philips Hue is offering solid deals on two smart light bundles. The first is a three-pack of standard E26 white and color ambiance bulbs for $100 (usually $135). If you want to turn the color in your bathroom to blue and your living room to green, these are the bulbs for you. They're Bluetooth-enabled, too, so you don't need a Hue bridge accessory to use them, which is appealing. Though, if you want more instantaneous and seamless functionality, you may want to eventually get that Hue Bridge at some point — and these bulbs will work just fine with it once you do.
The other Philips Hue deal is slightly more niche, but still good. If you buy Philips Hue's Ligthstrip Plus V4 80-inch model for $80 (located at the bottom of this page), the company will toss in a 40-inch extension at no extra cost. These two items would normally cost $105.
In case you haven't already seen it in our deals coverage, Best Buy is offering the best prices on the previous-gen iPad Pro through Sunday, June 20th. If you have a free My Best Buy account, you can get $150 off most 11-inch and 12.9-inch configurations, whether you want a Wi-Fi or LTE-connected iPad. The base 11-inch model with 128GB of storage costs $600 — the same price as the iPad Air with half that amount of storage. The 256GB 11-inch model is just $100 more at $700. If you want a 12.9-inch iPad Pro, the 128GB base model costs $850.
