What is Apple One?

Mashable - Wed, 07/17/2024 - 05:00

With so many subscription services nowadays, things could get a bit pricey. Not to mention that one needs to keep track of all these subscriptions. Want to cancel subscription services you no longer use? You need to do that one by one.

However, Apple has a plan that makes this a bit easier for you – at least when it comes to the six subscription services that Apple offers.

Apple One is a bundled subscription service that wraps up multiple Apple subscription services into one subscription plan, making things easier and cheaper to manage.

Here's everything you need to know about Apple One.

SEE ALSO: Amazon Music Unlimited vs. Spotify Premium: A comparison Which services are included with Apple One?

Apple has 6 different subscription service offerings: iCloud+, Apple TV+, Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple Fitness+, and Apple News+.

  • iCloud+ provides iPhone, iPad, Mac, and other Apple product users with additional storage to backup their devices and store files, photos, and videos.

  • Apple TV+ is Apple's movie and TV streaming services that provides access to new films, shows, as well as Apple Originals. 

  • Apple Music is the company's Spotify competitor, providing on-demand music streaming, playlists, and Apple Music Radio.

  • Apple Arcade is a gaming subscription service that offers unlimited gameplay of hundreds of gaming titles with no ads or in-app purchases

  • Apple Fitness+ is Apple's workout class and video library, offering new sessions each week.

  • Apple News+ is a magazine and newspaper service that provides subscribers with access to paywalled coverage from leading local and national outlets.

How much are the Apple One subscription plans?

There are three different Apple One subscription plans. Each one provides varying access to different subscription services.

The Individual plan is the least costly option at $19.95 per month. The Apple One Individual subscription includes the 50GB iCloud+ plan as well as Apple TV+, Apple Music, and Apple Arcade. According to Apple, buying these services through this Apple One bundle plan instead of subscribing to these four services individually saves users $9 per month.

The next Apple One subscription tier is the Family plan, which costs $25.95 per month. Like the Individual plan, this also includes Apple TV+, Apple Music, and Apple Arcade. However, users also get the 200GB iCloud+ service with the Family plan – or 150GB more than the Individual plan. Subscribing to his Apple One bundle gives users $11 per month in savings from subscribing to each service separately. In addition, all four of the included services can be shared with up to 5 users.

The highest tier – and also the most pricey – is the Apple One Premier plan. This bundle costs $37.95 per month. It's also the only Apple One bundled plan that includes all six Apple subscription services. The Premier plan comes with Apple TV+, Apple Music, and Apple Arcade just like the Individual and Family plans do. However, the Premier also includes Apple Fitness+ and Apple News+, too. The iCloud+ storage plan included with this bundle also gets a big upgrade to a whopping 2TB. This plan can also be shared with up to five people. This bundle passes on $29 per month in savings to subscribers.

How do I use Apple One bundled services?

Regardless of what plan one chooses, Apple One subscribers can simply access each subscription service included with that plan as they would if they subscribed individually.

For example, Apple TV+ can be accessed through the Apple TV+ app on their Apple TV set top box or smart TV. They can also access Apple TV+ through their Mac computer app or through the website. The same goes for all the other services. They are accessed anytime however you normally use them.

What if I need more iCloud+ storage?

Once upon a time, Apple's highest iCloud+ storage tier maxed out at only 2TB. There was a secret trick, though, to getting more storage: Subscribe to an Apple One bundle and the included iCloud+ bundled storage stacked on top of the separate iCloud+ plan.

However, in September of last year, Apple finally rolled out larger iCloud+ plans with new 6TB and 12TB offerings.

But, luckily, iCloud+ stacking with Apple One remains. If a user finds themselves needing more storage in the iCloud+ plan bundled with Apple One, they can also subscribe to an individual iCloud+ plan and the two storage allotments will stack into a single account.

For example, let's say a user is subscribed to an Apple One Premier plan at $37.95 per month, granting them 2TB of iCloud+ storage in their bundle. If they want more iCloud+ storage, they can double their storage allotment by subscribing to an individual 2TB iCloud+ plan at $9.99 per month. This would appear as two separate subscriptions – the Apple One Premier plan which includes a 2TB iCloud+ plan and the individual iCloud+ plan providing an extra 2TB – when paying and managing their subscription plans. However, a total of 4TB would appear in the user's single iCloud+ plan. This would cost $47.94 per month all together.

Currently, using the iCloud+ stacking system, a user could have a maximum of 14TB of iCloud+ storage by subscribing to the Apple One Premier plan and the individual 12TB iCloud+ plan. This would cost a user a total of $97.94 per month.

What if I'm already subscribed to an individual Apple service?

Already subscribed to, say, Apple Music, but now want to upgrade to an Apple One bundled plan? It's easy to upgrade. 

Users don't have to go out of their way to cancel any of the individual Apple subscription services that they subscribed to. Simply sign up for the Apple One plan of your choice and Apple will automatically move the individual subscription into the Apple One bundle at the Apple One savings rate.

There is one caveat. Apple One does provide one month of service for free for any of the tiers as a trial. If a user is already paying for a subscription to any of the individual Apple services, they will continue to be charged for that service during the Apple One trial. Only Apple services that a user isn't already paying to subscribe to will be free for the trial month of Apple One.

How do I subscribe to Apple One?

Users can subscribe to Apple One here.

In addition, Apple One subscriptions are managed through Apple's App Store.

When does Prime Day end? How long you have to get these deals

Mashable - Wed, 07/17/2024 - 03:57

Prime Day has already been a major deals extravaganza, offering the deep discounts we've come to expect over the years.

But it won't last forever! And people seem to be aware of this fact as we've seen a spike in trending search terms asking when Amazon's Prime Day deals will end this year.

The answer is Prime Day will end at 11:59 p.m. PT, which means around 3 a.m. on July 18 for people living on the east coast.

Elon Musk to move X and SpaceX's headquarters to Texas

Mashable - Wed, 07/17/2024 - 03:54

Elon Musk has announced that both X aka Twitter and SpaceX will be moving their headquarters from California to Texas. Strangely, the decision was prompted by the billionaire's apparent belief that teachers should be made to forcibly out LGBTQ kids.

Musk revealed the news on Tuesday across several posts on X, reacting to a new Californian law passed earlier this week. The new law bans Californian school districts from mandating that teachers tell parents if their child's sexual orientation or gender identity has changed, becoming the first U.S. state to do so. 

To be clear, Assembly Bill No. 1955 doesn't actually prohibit teachers from relaying such information to caregivers. It merely means that school districts can't implement a blanket requirement that they must. Yet Musk took objection to this, calling California's new law "the final straw."

"Because of this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its HQ from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas," Musk wrote. "And X HQ will move to Austin."

Tweet may have been deleted California's new law aims to protect LGBTQ children

There are numerous reasons why a child might not want their caregivers to know their sexuality or gender identity. While some parents will love and support their child regardless of how they identify, many others have demonstrated otherwise. A 2019 study found that less than half of parents had positive responses to learning that their child was transgender. A 2009 study found that LGBTQ children who are rejected by their families are nearly six times more likely to report high levels of depression, as well as over eight times more likely to attempt suicide. 

Informing parents that their child is LGBTQ risks significant harm to said child, carrying the danger of abuse, rejection, and the removal of their support system.

"Studies confirm that LGBTQ+ youth thrive when they have parental support and feel safe sharing their full identities with them, but it can be harmful to force young people to share their full identities before they are ready," Assembly Bill No. 1955 reads. "Policies that forcibly 'out' pupils without their consent remove opportunities for LGBTQ+ young people and their families to build trust and have these conversations when they are ready."

Even so, it seems as though Musk considers outing children against their will preferable to allowing them to go to their parents in their own time. The billionaire characterised the law as a "massive destruction of parental rights," accusing it of "putting children at risk for permanent damage."`

SEE ALSO: X / Twitter's user base has stopped growing under Elon Musk

At least one Texas school district requires teachers to inform parents if their child is transgender after it established a new policy in August last year. Twenty-three students in the Katy Independent School District were subsequently outed to their parents by early December, while at least one transgender student to drop out of school. The Katy Independent School District is now under investigation by the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights, as its policy is accused of discriminating against students on the basis of sex.

Musk's objection to laws regarding LGBTQ children isn't the only reason he's keen to exit California, though. He also claimed that the state allows crime to "run rampant," and that he's "had enough of dodging gangs of violent drug addicts just to get in and out of the building."

The billionaire has further expressed a preference for situating companies in Texas. Musk previously ran a poll asking whether he should transfer Tesla's state of incorporation from Delaware to Texas, prompted by a Delaware court's January decision to throw out his $55.8 billion Tesla compensation package. Tesla subsequently filed to make the change in February, with Musk having already moved its physical headquarters from California to Texas in 2021.

Musk's sizable Tesla compensation package was eventually restored in June following a shareholder vote on reapproval.

The best Prime Day deals on cameras and smartphone printers for 2024

Mashable - Wed, 07/17/2024 - 03:00

Perhaps photo dumps aren't scratching the same in-the-moment itch that they once were, or maybe your phone's storage is begging you to let it breathe.

Whatever the case, if you're in the market for a camera this Prime Day, you have a few good deals to choose from. We're not seeing the selection of instant cameras on sale that we're used to seeing on Black Friday. (They do make great gifts, so the holiday timing makes sense.) But we've pulled the ones that are worth looking at, including instant cameras, action cameras, regular mirrorless cameras, and some portable instant printers that can link up to your phone — that's basically a camera.

SEE ALSO: Gift card promos are our favorite underrated Prime Day deals

Be sure to check back through the end of Prime Day on July 17, as it's very possible that Fujifilm, Canon, and Polaroid will drop new camera deals. Other Prime Day categories have way more deals that you can shop right now, and we're keeping track of those, too.

Note: All newly-added deals are marked with a ✨, while anything marked with a 🔥 has dropped to an all-time low price.

Ninja has way better Prime Day deals than Instant Pot this year

Mashable - Wed, 07/17/2024 - 03:00

UPDATE: Jul. 16, 2024, 1:59 p.m. EDT This post has been updated with the latest pricing and availability on Ninja deals on the first day of Amazon's Prime Day sale.

It's almost hard to recall Instant Pot's reign as the star of Prime Day kitchen deals when Ninja deals are going as hard as they are in 2024.

Regardless of the corner of your kitchen you're looking to spruce up — whether it's the empty countertop slab where an air frying indoor grill could go or the cabinet where dusty, rusty pots and pans are begging for replacement — Ninja is making sure it catches your eye when you drop it into the search bar on Prime Day.

SEE ALSO: TikTok's newest obsession is coming — meet the Ninja Slushi

Ninja has become such a force in the realm of kitchen gear, mainly due to its Foodi line. This goes far past the pressure cookers that are often pitted against the Instant Pot: There are Foodi air fryer ovens, Foodi blenders, Foodi grills, and even several Foodi nonstick cookware collections. Past that, Ninja is behind several other viral kitchen products like the Ninja Creami ice cream maker and the Thirsti, Ninja's version of a SodaStream.

We're keeping track of all the Ninja deals at Amazon during Prime Day week, as well as live deals in just about every other product category you could think of — so check back often through July 17. For now, all newly-added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals marked with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price.

The 42% price slash on this Chefman air fryer looks even better when you pit this fryer directly against competition like the same-size Instant Vortex. The Chefman model splits its 6-quart capacity into dual baskets that can cook two independent foods simultaneously at different temperatures up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit, complete with clear windows to keep an eye on golden brownness. The 6-quart Vortex has just a single basket with no window, maxes out at 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and actually costs $10 more, even on sale.

Now at its lowest price ever at Amazon, the portable blender whips up shaved ice rather than the traditional crushed ice, making on-the-go beverages easier to sip with a straw.

Final Fantasy XVI is unlike any FF game that came before it, and honestly, we think that's a good thing. That's because Final Fantasy XVI is a truly fantastic character action game that combines engaging combat, an intriguing story, as well as the visual spectacle we've come to expect from the series to make an incredibly worthwhile adventure for all PS5 owners to experience.

The Xbox Series S is awesome, but unfortunately, it comes with less storage space than you'll probably need. That's why we think this bundle is a no-brainer — it comes with the 512GB version of the console itself, with the addition of a 2TB Seagate expansion card. That's a comfortable amount of extra space, and should be extremely helpful as you download all the Xbox Game Pass titles in your backlog.

We've already started tracking the best live deals on inkjet printers, laser printers, scanners, and portable photo printers from top brands like HP and Epson. If you'd rather avoid the chaos of shopping on Prime Day, or you just need a printer or scanner ASAP, rest assured you'll still be getting a good deal.

We'll be updating this list with the best Prime Day deals on printers and scanners as they pop up, so if you don't see what you're looking for yet, keep checking back. We expect more discounts to keep flooding in as the big day nears.

Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price.

The most annoying thing about printers is running out of ink whenever you actually need to print something important. The HP Smart Tank Plus 651 comes with Original HP Ink bottles that will cover you for up to two years of printing. That's 8,000 color pages or 6,000 black-and-white pages right out of the box. It can print, copy, scan, and fax and features a 35-page automatic document feeder, borderless prints, and mobile and wireless printing. While it lacks some more advanced features, it makes up for them in printing volume, compact design, and price.

It's regularly $289.99, but you can pick it up at Amazon for just under $200 ahead of Prime Day — that's 31% in savings and a record-low price. That's not bad considering it covers your ink costs for two years. In comparison, it's currently $20 more at Best Buy and HP's own website.

Self-emptying robot vacuums on sale during Prime Day

Mashable - Wed, 07/17/2024 - 03:00

UPDATE: Jul. 16, 2024, 1:40 p.m. EDT This article has been updated with the latest self-emptying robot vacuum deals from Prime Day 2024.

Best self-emptying robot vacuum deals at Amazon Best budget deal Shark AV2501S AI Ultra $409.00 (save $140.99) Get Deal Best robot vacuum mop combo deal Eufy X9 Pro $449.99 (save $450 with code X9PROEUFY) Get Deal

If a robot vacuum is the big purchase on your radar this Prime Day, you're clearly someone who sees the value in automating one of the most tedious chores. Consider stretching that convenience past the vacuuming itself with a self-emptying robot vacuum — there are already a handful on sale at Amazon for the first official day of Prime Day 2024, including a Shark, Eufy, and Narwal model at more than 50% off.

SEE ALSO: Shark vs. Roomba: Comparing top-rated robot vacuum lineups

Your self-emptying options at Amazon currently range from budget models at $300 or $400 to more premium robot vacuum and mop combos dropping from their usual near $1,000 price point to a more digestible $500-ish price tag. A few of those premium self-empty docks are also decked out with the ability to self-wash and self-dry the mopping pads — the ultimate automation experience, now much more affordable than usual.

If you're not ready to make a move quite yet, keep checking back to this list — we'll be updating it accordingly as Amazon inevitably drops new robovac discounts through the shopping event. For now, all newly-added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals marked with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price.

Eufy's X9 Pro debuted in fall 2023 and sits right in the sweet spot between the X8 Pro (which doesn't mop) and the X10 Pro Omni (which is sitting at its MSRP of $799.99). The X9 Pro is much more reminiscent of the X10 Pro Omni than it is the cheaper X8 Pro: It has a flat edge to get into corners, it mops, empties into a self-cleaning station that washes and dries the mopping pads, and uses AI to detect and avoid small obstacles like phone cables. As a mopper, the X9 Pro provides more elbow grease than many competitors thanks to double-pressurized, rotating mopping heads. These automatically lift above the ground if carpet is detected.

Roomba deals are stellar this Prime Day

Mashable - Wed, 07/17/2024 - 03:00

UPDATE: Jul. 16, 2024, 1:14 p.m. EDT This list has been updated with a several Roomba deals that went live on the first day of Amazon Prime Day 2024.

The tea that is the failed acquisition of iRobot by Amazon must not have been too scalding, because Amazon still has a soft spot for Roomba deals.

On and off throughout the year, Amazon drops prices on top Roombas (among other competitive robot vacuums) by up to 50%, whether that's during a shopping holiday like Black Friday or during a random week.

Prime Day certainly isn't random, and though the lead-up was a bit dry, Roomba deals have come out in full force as of July 16, offering savings of up to 50%. We were keeping our fingers crossed for a sub-$900 price tag on the Roomba Combo j9+, and Amazon more than delivered with a $799 sale price.

Check out the discount below, along with more of the best Roomba deals for Prime Day.

All newly-added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals marked with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price.

We were keeping our fingers crossed for a big price drop on our favorite Roomba come Prime Day, and thankfully Amazon delivered. Though $799 is still an investment, the j9+ will give you your money's worth and then some, offering impressive navigation and small object detection, a SmartScrub technique that'll deliver a deep clean, and enough suction power to thoroughly clean your carpets. The self-emptying dock also has a water tank that automatically refills the vac tank for up to 30 days. If you're looking for the ultimate robot vacuum and mop for an incredible price, look no further.

UPDATE: Jul. 16, 2024, 8:00 a.m. EDT This post has been updated with the latest live robot vacuum deals, including a new Shark and Roomba model at record-low pricing.

It's officially Prime Day, and after Walmart's underwhelming robot vacuum deals during Walmart+ Week, we're counting on Amazon to deliver the goods. We're confident they will, as Amazon is typically the best place to find robot vacuums on sale throughout the year, whether it's a shopping holiday or a random Tuesday in September when your current corded vacuum sends you over the edge.

Despite ditching its plans to buy iRobot, Amazon is still the best retailer to find a Roomba on sale, slashing its prices by 25% and 50% throughout the year. We manifested those same Roombas to reach new record-low pricing as Prime Day nears — and our wishes came true. The Roomba Combo j9+ dropped below $800 — its best price ever.

SEE ALSO: Prime Day Roomba deals are starting to trickle in

We're also hoping that Prime Day leads to new all-time low prices on other premium robot vacuums released at CES 2024 in January. The Eufy X10 Pro Omni has already dropped below $600, and now we're just waiting for the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra to get its very first discount— we've tested and loved both.

We've been tracking the best robot vacuum deals on Amazon for weeks leading up to Prime Day, and we'll continue to update our list as more deals become available. Note: All newly-added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals marked with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price.

$1,399.00 Save $600.00 Get Deal Why we like it

Sound the alarms! The very best Roomba is on sale at its very best price — ever. Its typical price of $1,399 is a whole lot of money to shell out on a vacuum, even if it does a spectacular job of keeping your floors clean. However, this Prime Day deal gets you 43% savings for a whopping $600 off. That means this combo robot vacuum and mop has officially hit its lowest price ever.

$799 is still a lot of money to spend, but having tested the j9+, we're confident it's worth every penny. Not only will it effortlessly sweep your floors, but it mops them too, using its SmartScrub technique, for some added elbow grease. The self-emptying and charging dock makes this vacuum virtually hands-free, as an added water tank refills the smaller tank on the vac.

Amazon's smart home devices have fallen to record-low prices for Prime Day 2024

Mashable - Wed, 07/17/2024 - 03:00

UPDATE: Jul. 16, 2024, 8:10 a.m. EDT This story has been refreshed with Amazon's latest Prime Day deals on Echo devices.

The best Prime Day Echo deals at a glance: Best Echo smart speaker deal Amazon Echo Spot $44.99 at Amazon (save $35 with Prime) Get Deal Best Echo Show smart display deal Amazon Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen) $84.99 at Amazon (save $65 with Prime) Get Deal Best Echo Buds deal Amazon Echo Buds with Active Noise Cancellation (2nd Gen, Wired Charging Case) $34.99 at Amazon (save $85 with Prime) Get Deal Best Echo Frames deal Amazon Echo Frames (3rd gen) Prescription Ready + Echo Pop $169.99 at Amazon (save $139.99 with Prime) Get Deal

Amazon loves to keep things in the family on Prime Day: Discounts on its in-house lines of gadgets are plentiful and steep during the retail giant's annual members-only sale. This is especially true for its Alexa-enabled Echo smart home devices and wearables, which frequently enjoy Prime Day deals exceeding the half-off mark. New year-round lows are not uncommon.

With Prime Day 2024 now live through Wednesday, July 17, Amazon is in peak form. The just-announced Echo Spot smart alarm clock is on sale for the first time with Prime, while all styles of the third-generation Echo Frames are sitting at all-time low prices (again, only for Prime members). One of them comes with a free Echo Pop, too.

Most notably, the second-gen Echo Buds with Active Noise Cancellation have hit a new record-low of $34.99 for Team Prime — a 71% discount on their usual retail price of $119.99. Amazon is advertising other (smaller) Prime Day device discounts across its site, but shoppers can go ahead and ignore those, apparently.

I mean... it's right there! Credit: Screenshots via Amazon / Mashable composite

Bundles featuring Echo smart speakers and Echo Show smart displays are also up for grabs, though most of the devices themselves have yet to hit their cheapest price points. You may want to hold off on adding those to your shopping cart in case they dip further as Prime Day progresses.

Read on for an overview of the best Prime Day Echo deals that are worth snagging right now, according to Mashable's team of shopping experts. Check back often, as we'll be updating our picks constantly over the course of the next 48-ish ours.

Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price.

The all-new Echo Spot is a smart alarm clock with a built-in speaker and a customizable digital face, which shows colorful animations in response to different prompts and questions. (It looks a lot like an upgraded Echo Pop.) You can control it with Alexa voice commands or by tapping its display.

Available in Black, Glacier White, and Ocean Blue, the Spot is now on sale for just $44.99 (normally $79.99) for Prime members through July 17 "in celebration of Prime Day," per an Amazon blog post — a 44% savings. You can also bundle it with a Sengled smart bulb worth $19.99 for just under $2 more.

A fall 2023 release, the latest version of Amazon's eight-inch smart display features an edge-to-edge touchscreen display, spatial audio support, and a built-in smart home hub. There's also a centered 13MP camera for video calls. The Mashable team hasn't reviewed the Echo Show 8, but our sister site PCMag called it "the best smart display for most people thanks to its big sound, sensible screen size, and Alexa’s extensive abilities." It earned a 4.5/5 "Outstanding" rating and an Editor's Choice nod over there.

At $84.99 with Prime (or 43% off), this is the Echo Show 8's lowest price since launch; it's now $5 cheaper than it was last Black Friday. Note your options to bundle it with a Sengled smart bulb (worth $19.99) or a Blink Video Doorbell (worth $59.99) for just $2 or $10 more, respectively.

Read Mashable's full review of the Amazon Echo Buds with Active Noise Cancellation (2nd Gen).

We'll keep things short and sweet: Thirty-five bucks for comfortable, decent-sounding wireless earbuds with active noise cancellation is just stupid. (Hell, we've never seen the standard Apple AirPods without ANC dip lower than $69.) Less than $10 now separates these 2021 Echo Buds from last year's entry-level/non-ANC version, which have a more polarizing semi-in-ear design, so it's exceptionally easy to recommend them for most people.

Amazon's third-generation Echo Frames are smart glasses that can play music, stream podcasts, and take calls hands-free. They're equipped with Alexa, so you can also use them to control compatible smart home devices. They offer up to 14 hours of battery life and come in up to five styles, depending on the lens type: Black Rectangle, Black Square, Gray Rectangle, Blue Round, and Brown Cat Eye.

All variants of the Echo Frames are currently on sale for a record-low of $169.99 for Prime members — that includes the Frames with prescription-ready lenses (normally $269.99), with polarized sunglass lenses (normally $329.99) and with blue light-filtering lenses (normally $299.99). However, only the former come with a free Echo Pop smart speaker worth $39.99.

Bluetooth speaker deals for Prime Day 2024: Record lows on JBL, Ultimate Ears, Bose, Sony, more

No summer is complete without a soundtrack. But even if you max out your device's volume, you'll be left disappointed. In order to really crank the songs of the summer wherever you go, you need a Bluetooth speaker.

Fortunately, Amazon Prime Day falls in the dog days of summer (formally July 16 and 17) and serves as a great time to shop for Bluetooth speakers. The mega-retailer has dropped prices on top audio brands like Bose, Sony, JBL, and more.

With Prime Day finally here, we're tracking the best Bluetooth speaker deals with some standouts from Bose, Sony, Wonderboom, and Amazon's own devices.

We'll be updating this page regularly with the latest deals on Bluetooth speakers as Prime Day continues. If you don't see anything that catches your eye just yet, check back soon.

The small-but-mighty SoundLink Flex from Bose just dropped to a record-low $99 at Amazon in its limited edition chilled lilac colorway. That's 34% in savings and — unsurprisingly — 99 cents less than we saw it at during Target Circle Week. Amazon loves to outshine the competition. The SoundLink Flex's got a rugged texture and is completely waterproof, so it's designed to go wherever you go. It can automatically detect whatever position it's in to give you the most immersive listening experience and it'll last you about half a day on a single charge. Grab it in purple, green, stone blue, or white smoke.

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are sitting at a new all-time low price on Amazon today of $229, a $70 savings off the usual price of $299. The Bose earbuds come with three listening modes: quiet mode, aware mode, and immersive mode.

Immersive mode moves you into full noise cancellation with the Bose Immersive Audio experience. The Ultra earbuds come with nine sets of ear tips to make sure you're getting a comfortable pair of earbuds that are worthy of wearing for hours. Mashable's Timothy Beck Werth reviewed the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds late last year and wrote, "So far, I've had the chance to spend 45 wonderful days with the Bose Ultra earbuds, and they've become my new go-to buds for air travel, music, and work calls." Scoring a 4.6/5 in the review, the earbuds also earned a Mashable Choice Award.

If the name isn't enough of a giveaway, Mashable's Sam Mangino tested them out and confirmed, "These are the most comfortable pair of headphones you can buy right now." These babies offer all-day battery life (even with noise-canceling engaged) and solid noise cancellation quality with three different audio settings. They're not the most intuitive and the price is a bit steep at $429. However, ahead of Prime Day, you can snag them for a more affordable $349 instead.

While they're not an essential upgrade if you're already the proud owner of the first-generation AirPods Pro, the second-generation earbuds are definitely better "in many small ways," Mashable's Stan Schroeder writes. He adds that the sound is excellent and the noise cancellation is superb. They're currently on sale for $168.99, their lowest price ever.

Check out our full review of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds.

We're big fans of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds. Mashable's Timothy Beck Werth said, "In terms of audio quality, noise cancellation, and battery life, I'm more impressed the longer I use these earbuds." At a regular price of $299 though, they don't come cheap, but there's no better time to buy than during Prime Day. They're down to $229, their lowest price ever, giving you $70 off for 23% savings.

The Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3 is a great value speaker when it's at full price, making it even more of a get marked down about $43. The price cut comes as Ultimate Ears has just released their next gen of the speaker (we're currently testing it to see if it belongs on the list of our favorites), but it doesn't seem there's a stark difference between the two speakers. If you need a speaker that's compact and rugged, and don't care too much about having customizable EQ or a companion app, the Wonderboom 3 will check your boxes.
