I'm Mashable's tech editor, and I love my job. I get to test the coolest new tech products before anyone else, and I basically get paid to nerd out over the latest noise-cancelling headphones, smart glasses, and laptops. All year long, I've been reporting on price hikes, but for Prime Day 2026, I can finally write about price drops.
In this guide, I'm sharing all of the best Prime Day tech deals. Amazon Prime Day 2026 runs from June 23 to June 26, and the Mashable shopping team will be providing round-the-clock coverage of the sale. Only the best deals — the ones I'd recommend to friends and family or shop myself — end up on this page.
SEE ALSO: Prime Day 2026: Live updates on Apple, Samsung, DJI, Kindle, and more Amazon dealsMashable also goes a step further than merely collecting deals. We also check competing sales at sites like Best Buy, Dyson, and Target to make sure Amazon really has the lowest price. Finally, we use price tracking tools to separate the great deals from the pretenders.
So, with all this in mind, here are the best Prime Day tech deals of 2026. I've personally tested many of these products, but I'm also leaning on recommendations from our tech and shopping teams.
Record-low prices on the latest Apple WatchesThe latest generation of Apple Watches offered some big upgrades, and Prime Day has delivered the best-ever deal on the Apple Watch Series 11. This smartwatch has a longer battery and other key upgrades over its predecessor, and our reviewer named it a Mashable Choice product. However, if you want to go all-out on the new Apple Watch Ultra 3, this premier fitness and sleep-tracking smartwatch is also on sale at an all-time low price.

On day one of Prime Day, you can save 50% on the Bose QuietComfort noise-cancelling headphones. While the brand's flagship QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) headphones are on sale for $70 off, we're hoping prices will go lower on those particular cans.

For Prime Day, you can buy Kindle e-readers starting at $84.99, and the Kindle Paperwhite — our most-recommended Kindle and the one I use personally — is back to its record-low price of $124.99.
Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Kindle $84.99 at AmazonI tested the M5 MacBook Air for Mashable when it was released earlier this year, and the longer I use it, the more I like it. If you've been waiting for Prime Day to buy this Apple laptop, then I have good news and bad news. The good news is it's on sale for $949. The bad news: Over Memorial Day Weekend, we saw prices drop to $899. So, if you can wait a little longer, you can wait for a further price drop later in the week.

I never travel without my Anker Prime GaN wall charger, which can charge my laptop, my phone, and earbuds at the same time. If that's overkill, you can also grab Anker's most adorable wall charger with a built-in display for just $25.99 this Prime Day.
Opens in a new window Credit: Anker Anker Prime GaN Charger, 100W $37.98 at AmazonWe were hoping to see slightly better Prime Day deals on AirPods, and prices could still go lower on the AirPods Pro 3 and AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation. But we can recommend shopping the AirPods Max 2 headphones and AirPods 4 at the current prices. The AirPods Max 2 have never been this cheap, though there is a slight chance the AirPods 4 will get another price drop later in the week.

For creators, campers, and anyone with a safety-first mindset, these popular orange power stations keep you powered on when everyone else is off-grid. The best Prime Day tech deals always include massive savings on power stations, and this is my top pick of the sale so far.
Opens in a new window Credit: Jackery Jackery Explorer v2 Power Station, 1070Wh $399.99 at AmazonI've been recommending Samsung's famous art TVs, The Frame, for many years, and they keep getting better. For Prime Day 2026, you can get these cult-favorite, ultra-thin TVs on sale at Amazon for their lowest-ever price. And if you want to splurge on a Samsung OLED TV instead, you can grab the brand's award-winning S90F OLED 65-inch TV for 29% off its list price.
Please note: As of this writing, this Amazon listing incorrectly displays a picture of the more expensive The Frame Pro model.
Opens in a new window Credit: Samsung Samsung The Frame 55-inch QLED Art TV (2025) $697.99 at AmazonIf a premium Samsung OLED TV isn't in your budget, I feel you. It's not in mine at the moment, either. However, despite all the price hikes we've seen in 2026, prices on 55- and 65-inch TVs keep getting lower, and not just during big sales like this.
For Prime Day 2026, grab the new Amazon Ember 55-inch 4-Series Fire TV, which comes with Amazon's new art mode. You can also score an insane price on the Hisense 65-inch E6 Series QLED 4K Fire TV.
Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Ember 55-inch 4-Series Fire TV $279.95 at AmazonThe best Prime Day tech deals always include savings on the Fire TV stick streaming devices, which start at just $15.99. If you're not ready to buy a new smart TV, then upgrade your older model TV with these streaming sticks. During the Amazon sale, these devices are on sale for up to 54% off.
Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Fire TV Stick HD $15.99 at AmazonThe past-gen Sony XM5 headphones have 95% of the same features as the new flagship XM6 headphones, but during Prime Day, they have a much lower price. So, if you want to enjoy Sony's premium sound and best-in-class active noise cancellation, you can pick up these headphones for under $200. You can also grab the recently released XM6 wireless earbuds for their lowest price ever.

The brand makes some of the most popular gadgets for professional content creators, and no DJI products are more popular than the TikTok-famous DJI Mic Mini and DJI Osmo Pocket 3 gimbal camera. I've personally tested both of these devices for Mashable, and their reputation is well-deserved.
Opens in a new window Credit: DJI DJI Mic Mini (2 TX + 1 RX + Charging Case) $79 at AmazonFor the best Prime Day Dyson deals, we actually recommend skipping Amazon altogether. Dyson is hosting a very competitive sale at its online store, where you can find our favorite Dyson products at the lowest prices we've seen. If you've always wanted a fancy Dyson stick vacuum with the laser attachment, grab the V12 Detect Slim for $250 off. I'm also a huge fan of the original Dyson Supersonic hair dryer, which I've relied on for years. This week, you can pick it up with three attachments for $279.99.
Opens in a new window Credit: Dyson Dyson V12 Detect Slim Cordless Stick Vacuum $479.99 at DysonThe new Apple AirTags 2 just got their first-ever discount at Amazon, though it's not a very big one. Still, you can grab these long-range trackers for $24 (or $89 for a 4-pack). However, if you really want to save, then head to Amazon-associated retailer Woot, where you can score a four-pack of the original AirTags 1 for $69.99 — while supplies last, which they won't.
Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple AirTag 2 tracker $24 at AmazonLooking for Prime Day deals under $25? You can't do much better than this Blink Mini indoor security camera for just $9.99. That's so cheap we have to wonder if Amazon is selling it as a loss, or if the company has achieved Apple Tim Cook levels of supply chain wizardry. Either way, you can grab this Amazon brand's security cameras to protect your home inside and out.
Opens in a new window Credit: Blink Blink Mini $9.99 at AmazonBecause DJI drones have been officially banned in the United States, you can only buy these popular drones from third-party sellers on Amazon. However, if you're willing to risk it, you can score some great deals on these drones, which have professional-quality cameras but controls that are simple enough for beginners.

For backyard powerups or RV camping, this Mashable-tested power station is one of our favorites, and during Prime Day, you can bundle it with a foldable 400W solar panel.

For Prime Day, this trending product got its first big price drop, with a cool $100 discount. This record player is a good choice for vinyl newbies and moderate collectors, and it's easy to use. For more, check out our full review.

But absent a compelling offer from Nintendo, this is the best Prime Day video game deal of the moment. This bundle lets you choose between three popular games to bundle with the gaming console. Remember: The Switch 2 is getting a price hike later this year, so don't miss your chance to save.

During Prime Day, the ChillPill has gotten a slight discount of $20, knocking the price down to $129.99, which still isn't amazing, but it's the lowest price we've seen to date.
Shark ChillPill $129.99 at AmazonAmazon devices always get big discounts during the retailer's sales events. In fact, I don't know why you'd buy Echo devices any other time of year. The newest Amazon smart display is currently 32% off for Prime members.
Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Echo Show 11 smart display $149.99 at AmazonPrime Day 2026 is here. After weeks of early deals and so many TV commercials, Amazon's flagship summer sale has officially kicked off. If you're a Prime member, this is your opportunity to save on almost anything, from boring household essentials like dish soap to big-ticket splurges like a new 65-inch TV. If you're not sure where to start, we've gathered all of the best Prime Day deals, including unprecedented price drops on the entire Apple Watch lineup, Sony headphones, and Ninja kitchen appliances.
Prime Day usually takes place in July, but this year, Amazon decided to shake things up and run the sale in June. So, if you haven't already heard the news, Amazon Prime Day 2026 runs from June 23 to 26. The timing may have changed, but we're still seeing the same great seasonal savings on products from Apple, DJI, Dyson, Lego, and Samsung.

The best deal on headphones goes to the Sony WH-1000XM5s, an older pair of flagship cans that we still love and recommend. ("They [have] unbeatable ANC and sound for the money, and even in 2026, they sound shockingly good," writes Bethany Allard, our resident headphones expert.) Normally $399.99, they're marked down to just $198 for Prime Day — a 50% savings and their lowest price ever.

Amazon's latest Echo devices, the Echo Dot Max and Echo Studio, have both hit new, all-time low prices this Prime Day. But the biggest discount is going to the Echo Spot, its smart alarm clock. This tiny speaker sits compactly on nightstands but provides everything you need to start your morning, including a weather report and tunes to get you out of bed.
You can now get the Amazon Echo Spot for just $44.99. That saves you $35 off its $79.99 price tag for a 44% discount.

Our resident e-reader expert, Samantha Mangino, counts the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition as her daily driver. She likes its ample storage, auto-adjusting light, wireless charging, and lack of lockscreen ads. Right now, it's on sale for just $144.99 (normally $199.99) — the same price as a regular Paperwhite with its default ads removed, which has half the storage. It's never been cheaper before.

Senior Shopping Reporter Haley Henschel says, "We loved the Surface Laptop 7 back when it launched in 2024. While its CPU isn't the freshest anymore, it still impresses as a whole: It features a 23-hour battery life, a microSDXC card slot, and a 2.5K touchscreen that's brighter and smoother than a 15-inch MacBook Air's screen.
Amazon's amazing Prime Day deal on this 15-inch model comes just a week after Microsoft announced the very similar Surface Laptop 8 (which isn't on sale just yet). It's currently listed for just $1,229.99 — a whopping 44% off its regular retail price of $2,099.99. I wouldn't be surprised if it disappears long before Prime Day ends, considering the exact same model sold out at Best Buy after dropping to $1,699.99 there."

It's 40 percent thinner and even more accurate than its predecessor, but if those factors aren't all that important to you, we suggest sticking with the Oura Ring 4. Why? Because it's nearly 50% off right now at Amazon, and it's been our favorite smart ring since its release.

Without a doubt, Prime Day 2026 will be one of the biggest sales events on the shopping calendar, second only to Black Friday. This huge event will go hard on just about every category: You can expect significant savings on Apple MacBooks, limited-time price cuts on Bose headphones, and all-time lows on Samsung OLED TVs.

Well hello there, Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2!
Samsung's Unpacked event is still a few weeks away (rumors say it's happening in London in late July), but we've already gotten a very detailed look into Samsung's most powerful wearable yet.
Leaker Evan Blass shared what appear to be official press photos of the device, giving us a detailed look from all sides and in two colors: black and green. The fact that Blass shared these photos is a little odd given his recent decision to retire his account on X and step away from leaking, but the photos look as genuine as they can be.
It also comes in green. Credit: Evan Blass/SamsungIf the images are real, the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 is fairly similar to its predecessor, with a squircle face, though tiny differences will remind owners that they have a freshly launched gadget, including numbers instead of line markings on the bezel.
The back of the watch is also shown in these images, and it reveals quite a bit about its specs, including the 47mm size, sapphire crystal glass, LTE and GPS connectivity, as well as a 10 ATM water resistance rating.
Some of the specs are listed on the back, including the 10 ATM waterproofing. Credit: Evan Blass/SamsungThe visible changes line up with a recent report, which also said the side buttons would be improved, and that the bezel would be thinner on the new model (it does look a little thinner, but it's hard to tell by how much, exactly).

Today's Connections: Sports Edition will be easier if you participated in a field event.
As we've shared in previous hints stories, this is a version of the popular New York Times word game that seeks to test the knowledge of sports fans.
Like the original Connections, the game is all about finding the "common threads between words." And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight, and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier — so we've served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.
If you just want to be told today's puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for the latest Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

The sports Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Each puzzle features 16 words, and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.
If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake — players get up to four mistakes before the game ends.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

SAVE $180: The Bose QuietComfort headphones are on sale for $359, down from $179. That's a 50% discount or $180 in savings.
Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Bose QuietComfort Headphones $179.99 at AmazonBose is one of the most recognizable names out there when it comes to audio. (It even won a Mashable Readers' Choice Award!) Whether it's earbuds, headphones, or speakers, name it, and Bose has them all. Bose's products are also quite high-quality, and the Bose QuietComfort headphones are no different. These expensive headphones can be yours for cheap if you act fast.
Right now, during Amazon Prime Day, the headphones are are 50% off, bringing the price down from $359 to $179. That's $180 in savings. This low price is only available for select colorways.
The Bose QuietComfort headphones have some of the best noise-cancelling capabilities out there. There are two listening modes in Quiet and Aware, of which the former blocks out background noise while the latter keeps you aware of your surroundings. They don't compromise on audio either. You can adjust EQ to control the bass, mids, and treble to craft the perfect soundscape for your ears. The headphones are very comfortable, as they have plush over-ear cushions, while the durable headband keeps them secure on top of your head.
If you have multiple devices, you can connect between them seamlessly with the multi-point toggle feature without having to constantly disconnect and then reconnect again, interrupting your listening session. Sporting a 24-hour battery life, you'll be able to go about all day without having to charge the headphones. A quick 15-minute charge will also refuel the headphones with 2.5 hours of playback, so they're always ready whenever you are.
We tried out the Bose QuietComfort headphones. In our review of the headphones, Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino said, "These are my go-to headphones for everything: going on afternoon walks, running errands, writing from a café, or traveling. They're reliable and, most importantly, comfortable."
If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.
There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.
An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.

There used to be a time when if you wanted Korean beauty products and you lived in the U.S., your best bet would be shopping on YesStyle or Stylevana. Now, Rom&nd is in Ulta and K-beauty products are on sale for Amazon Prime Day.
As a shopping reporter in her fifth year covering Prime Day, someone who regularly tries out new skincare (and skincare tech), and someone whose algorithm is deeply locked into new Korean beauty releases, I feel uniquely qualified to call out some of the best deals from the sale. Plus, with one of South Korea's largest beauty retailers now in the U.S., there are more products than ever available — which can make sorting the duds from what actually works even more challenging.
SEE ALSO: Almost all of my favorite beauty products are already on sale for Prime DayThis collection of deals in particular comes from my tried and true recommendations — products I have bought (and repurchased) with my own money. If you have acne-prone, oily/combination skin that can lean on the dehydrated side, this post is especially for you.
That said, it's worth mentioning that there's no product that's a miracle balm for everyone, but I curated this list to include at least a few products with more universal appeal. Without further ado, here are my seven favorite K-beauty products on sale during Amazon Prime Day.
The best mascaraThe best mascara I've ever used is under $10 currently, and I did repurchase my fifth tube during this sale. I have very straight lashes and oily eyelids, which isn't exactly a recipe for success with most mascaras. This one, however, holds my curled lashes ALL DAY, with very minimal smudging. It does, however, take an especially strong remover to get it off (but I can confirm a rec lower on this list will do the job).
Opens in a new window Credit: Clio Clio Kill Lash Superproof Mascara (01 Long Curling) $8.94The thing about my lips is that they will be dry, no matter how much water I drink. I've tried many a viral lip balm that's done next to nothing for them, and many a lip mask that's worn off hours before I wake up. The CNP lip butter is the opposite of that, providing a thick layer of moisture that lasts all night long.
Opens in a new window Credit: CNP CNP Honey Lip Butter Propolis Lipcerin 01 Origina $10.70 at AmazonI've tried my fair share of serums, but none have transformed the texture of my skin like this IUNIK Beta-Glucan one. At $12.33, it is a steal and a dream if your oily skin is dehydrated, but very particular about how it gets its hydration. A bottle lasted me at least a couple months of daily and nightly use.
Opens in a new window Credit: IUNIK IUNIK Beta-Glucan Power Moisture Serum $12.33 at AmazonIf you follow any sort of beauty content online, there's a chance you came across the term "Nina Park makeup" in the past six months. It's code for makeup that's effortless, lived in, but still noticeable. The artist used this Clio blush on her celebrity clients, and with its gorgeous glow and soft from-within flush of color, it's easy to see why.
Opens in a new window Credit: Clio CLIO Essential Lip & Cheek Tap $12.36 at AmazonWhen I say I want a gentle cleanser, I mean I want something that won't strip my skin. However, I still want it to actually clean my skin. This beplain cleanser does exactly that — I stocked up on the full and travel size during this Prime Day sale.
Opens in a new window Credit: beplain beplain Mung Bean Cleansing Foam $13.90 at AmazonIf you're a freak like me and love a double cleanse (I want everything off my skin at the end of the day), this Dr. Althea balm is the way. I especially love the grinding cap, which means I won't be dipping my contaminated fingers into the balm every time I need to use it. Bonus points: it can remove the Clio mascara.
Opens in a new window Credit: Dr. Althea Dr. Althea Pore Refresh Grinding Cleansing Balm $16.03 at AmazonThis was the viral product that got me the fastest — I saw, like, two people use it, and suddenly it was in my cart. Thankfully, it was the right one to bet on. I spray this stuff on myself, but I've also spritzed my dry-skinned friends on days they complain of feeling especially desert-like, and guess what? We all love it. This is my secret when I over-powder my makeup, when my under-eye concealer starts to get crusty, or when I simply need a little refresh.

Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Soundcore Sleep A30 Earbuds $159.99 at AmazonYou may have earbuds for all sorts of occasions, including exercise, swimming, and just general use. But do you have some for sleeping? Sure, it sounds a bit strange, but they exist! Sleep earbuds can help out with blocking noise so that you can get a good night's rest. The Soundcore Sleep A30 Special earbuds by Anker will make sure you catch some z's.
Right now, during Amazon Prime Day, these earbuds are are 30% off, bringing the price down from $229.99 to $159.99. That's $70 in savings.
The Soundcore Sleep A30 earbuds have triple noise reduction, effectively blocking out any distractions that could prevent you from falling asleep or cause you to wake up. Live in a city or have a partner who snores? No problem! These also include stories that can be told to calm your mind down and make falling asleep easier. Along with a diverse library of sounds, pick your favorites and start counting sheep. The earbuds are also incredibly comfortable, as they only weigh in at three grams each. For side sleepers like myself, they're soft enough that they won't dig into my ears during the middle of the night and cause me to have ear pain when waking up in the morning.
They last about eight to 10 hours per charge, making it the perfect time frame for a restful sleep. The charging case also provides up to five nights of playback time. The companion app tracks your sleep patterns, positions, and duration to give you insight into your habits. This way, you can make healthier decisions regarding your sleep schedule.
We awarded the earbuds 4.3 out of 5 stars. In our review, Lead Shopping Reproter Bethany Allard said, "The Anker Soundcore Sleep A30 feel like a notable step up from the A20, with the active noise cancellation and price point giving them an edge over other premium options on the market."

Welcome to your guide to Pips, the latest game in the New York Times catalogue.
Released in August 2025, Pips puts a unique spin on dominoes, creating a fun single-player experience that could become your next daily gaming habit.
Currently, if you're stuck, the game only offers to reveal the entire puzzle, forcing you to move on to the next difficulty level and start over. However, we have you covered! Below are piecemeal answers that will serve as hints so that you can find your way through each difficulty level.
How to play PipsIf you've ever played dominoes, you'll have a passing familiarity with how Pips is played. As we've shared in our previous hints stories for Pips, the tiles, like dominoes, are placed vertically or horizontally and connect with each other. The main difference between a traditional game of dominoes and Pips is the color-coded conditions you have to address. The touching tiles don't necessarily have to match.
SEE ALSO: Wordle today: Answer, hints for June 24, 2026The conditions you have to meet are specific to the color-coded spaces. For example, if it provides a single number, every side of a tile in that space must add up to the number provided. It is possible — and common — for only half a tile to be within a color-coded space.
Here are common examples you'll run into across the difficulty levels:
Number: All the pips in this space must add up to the number.
Equal: Every domino half in this space must be the same number of pips.
Not Equal: Every domino half in this space must have a completely different number of pips.
Less than: Every domino half in this space must add up to less than the number.
Greater than: Every domino half in this space must add up to more than the number.
If an area does not have any color coding, it means there are no conditions on the portions of dominoes within those spaces.

Greater Than (5): Everything in this space must be greater than 5. The answer is 6-2, placed vertically.

Today's NYT Strands hints are easy if you like to knock one back.
Strands, the New York Times' elevated word-search game, requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There's always a theme linking every solution, along with the "spangram," a special, word or phrase that sums up that day's theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.
SEE ALSO: Mahjong, Sudoku, free crossword, and more: Play games on MashableBy providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.

Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once.
Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.

Contrary to what it feels like the rest of the internet is doing, Prime Day doesn't have to be all about buying stuff just for the sake of buying stuff on sale. There's no reason to force a new TV or a new pair of headphones if you legitimately don't need them. And that brings us to our favorite underrated Prime Day hack: skip the splurges and restock on the everyday home essentials that you'd have to buy eventually, anyway. All of that boring stuff is on sale at Amazon right now, too.
Below, we're tracking the best Prime Day deals on everyday essentials like cleaning supplies, toilet paper, cat litter, phone accessories, and more through the end of Prime Day on June 26.

SAVE $150: As of June 23, the 88-ounce Ninja Slushi frozen drink maker is on sale for $199.99 at Amazon for Prime Day. That's 43% off its usual $349.99 and its lowest sale price to date.
Ninja Slushi $199.99 at Best BuyEven if you don't religiously keep up with kitchen gadget releases like a shopping reporter does, you probably know about the Ninja Slushi. The viral frozen drink maker is coveted for its ability to chill liquid in less than an hour, without ice or pre-freezing the concoction. If the Slushi has never made it off your wishlist due to its price tag, its Prime Day price might change your mind: The Ninja Slushi is on sale for less than $200.
That $199.99 feels like a much more comfortable splurge than its usual $349.99 — in fact, this is the cheapest that we've ever seen the original Slushi (according to Amazon price tracker camelcamelcamel). The $150 discount isn't too far off from a full 50% price slash, making the Slushi one of our favorite Prime Day kitchen deals so far.
SEE ALSO: Prime Day 2026: Live updates on Apple, Samsung, DJI, Kindle, and more Amazon dealsAm I also biased toward this deal because I have the Ninja Slushi and want everyone to experience this level of on-demand warm-weather serotonin? Sure. But I really think most people would get a lot of use out of the Slushi.
A delicious frosé involves just three ingredients poured right into the top. Credit: Leah Stodart / Mashable The Slushi can't blend, so frozen fruits have to be liquified elsewhere. Credit: Leah Stodart / MashableI can't tell you how much I look forward to making my little frosés on an otherwise mundane night after work (plus, it's cheaper and less sweaty than crowding onto a rooftop bar for happy hour). I've also used the Slushi's milkshake setting to put a fun spin on chocolate or blueberry protein shakes. I even convinced my friend's parents to get a Slushi, and their grandkids are obsessed with it.
If you were waiting for the new double-sided Ninja Slushi Twist to go on sale this Prime Day, it unfortunately hasn't happened yet. But for hosting purposes, the regular Slushi is more than enough for a handful of people. Ninja says the 88-ounce capacity makes "7+" servings, but it always feels like much more than that.
The Slushi Twist (left) takes up much more counter space than the regular Slushi (right). Credit: Leah Stodart / MashablePlus, the Slushi Twist isn't nearly as compact as the original Slushi. As fun as it is to make two flavors at once, the $399.99 Ninja Slushi Twist probably isn't necessary unless you'll regularly be making drinks for a large group — and have unlimited counter space.
SAVE $14: Through June 26, you can sign up for MGM+ through Prime Video for only 99 cents per month for two months. That's $7 per month, or $14 total in savings.
Opens in a new window Credit: MGM+ MGM+ (Prime Video add-on) $0.99/month for 2 months (save $14) Get DealAmazon surprised everyone by releasing its highest-grossing film ever (and the second highest earner for 2026 as a whole), Project Hail Mary, on the niche streaming service MGM+, rather than debuting it on Prime Video. Weird, right? Luckily, if you aren't an MGM+ subscriber, it's cheaper than ever to sign up — thanks to Prime Day.
Through June 26 (the final day of Amazon's Prime Day sale), you can sign up for MGM+ for only 99 cents per month for two months. Usually $7.99 per month, that's $14 total in savings. The only catch is that you have to subscribe through Prime Video, which requires a Prime membership. The MGM+ streaming library will live inside your Prime Video app as an add-on channel, and you'll be billed directly through Amazon itself for convenience.
It seems bizarre that Amazon would choose to debut Project Hail Mary, its biggest movie ever, on its smaller, niche streaming service, but it's actually not that out of the ordinary. The studio has previously debuted Challengers and Blink Twice on MGM+ as well, before they made their way to Prime Video.
MGM+ may not be the most popular streaming service around, but it's actually home to some stellar movies and TV shows. And for only 99 cents per month, you can watch plenty beyond Project Hail Mary. We recommend The Martian (another adaptation of an Andy Weir novel), the small town mystery MGM+ Original Series From, and Nickel Boys (one of our favorite movies of 2024), just to name a few.

If you're attending one of the 104 games at the 2026 World Cup, or even watching it at a fan event or bar, cybersecurity isn't likely to be on your mind. But maybe it should be, according to a new survey from ExpressVPN.
As part of its inaugural World Cup Wi-Fi Risk Index, ExpressVPN surveyed 6,000 soccer fans from the U.S., UK, France, Germany, Spain, and Australia — and found that 70 percent of those surveyed would trust public Wi-Fi networks by their name alone.
"Fans stream matches from airport lounges, check scores in hotel lobbies, post from bars, buy food and merchandise from their seats, and move between public networks all day without much thought about who runs them," the company said in its report. "That habit is what makes the match day experience feel modern, and what makes the 2026 World Cup such a rich target for cybercriminals."
According to ExpressVPN, cybercriminals would simply have to set up a fake public Wi-Fi network and name it after the venue in order to trick the vast majority of World Cup attendees to login and share potentially sensitive information. Of the 6,000 surveyed, 70 percent of those surveyed said they would trust public Wi-Fi named "MetLife_Stadium_WiFi" while at the venue of the same name, for example.
Fewer than four in 10 fans said they would be able to tell the difference between a real official public Wi-Fi network and a fake one.
How an 'evil twin' attack scores off fansThe fake public Wi-Fi scam, known as an "evil twin" attack, is one of the oldest in the book. A cybercriminal simply creates a fake hotspot posing as a legit public Wi-Fi network with an official sounding name. Venue attendees connect to the fraudulent network — after which, if they log in into any accounts, sensitive information gets intercepted.
ExpressVPN's survey found 30 percent of U.S. fans between the ages of 18 and 29 have logged into their bank account using stadium Wi-Fi. Around half of all those surveyed have logged into their social media accounts when on a stadium's public Wi-Fi. Others have checked email, or work-related accounts, on Wi-Fi while at sporting events.
Before the World Cup started, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center issued a public service announcement concerning the flood of fake FIFA and World Cup-related websites looking to scam soccer fans who were searching for tickets, hospitality, and merchandise.
Malicious actors are clearly looking to target the 6.5 million people expected to attend the World Cup games, as well as hundreds of millions of viewers around the world.
“Cybercriminals don't need sophisticated tools to target football fans," says ExpressVPN Chief Information Security Officer Aaron Engel. "They can name a network after a stadium, hotel, or fan event and wait for people to connect. Our research shows that familiar names carry more trust than they should.
"That becomes especially risky at a tournament like the World Cup, where millions of fans will be moving between stadiums, airports, hotels, and public venues.”
Fans traveling to the games face additional risks. The vast majority of those surveyed said hotel Wi-Fi felt the safest and were most likely to login to their accounts with sensitive information using those networks.
What can you do? Simple: no matter how much you're focused on the football, check with the venue before logging into anything that looks like a public Wi-Fi network. Most sports stadiums publish the name of their official Wi-Fi, so you have an assist in scoring a successful outing.
TL;DR: This BitCoin Ticket Miner is on sale for $39.99 (reg. $99.99) and offers a low-power way to explore solo, pool, and lottery-style Bitcoin mining.
Opens in a new window Credit: Rochas Divine Mart BitCoin Ticket Miner $39.99Bitcoin mining is often associated with warehouses full of specialized computers, high electricity bills, and enough heat output to warm a small room. The BitCoin Ticket Miner takes a very different approach as it’s designed as a compact desktop device. This one lets users participate in Bitcoin mining without dedicating an entire room — or a big portion of their utility budget — to the hobby.
This BitCoin Ticket Miner is on sale for $39.99 (reg. $99.99), making it a relatively inexpensive way to learn how mining works or experiment with different mining strategies.

Thanks for signing up!The device supports several mining modes, including pool mining, solo mining, and lottery-style mining. Instead of contributing to a larger mining operation, lottery mining gives participants a chance to win a Bitcoin block reward on their own. Please note that these rewards are never guaranteed. Mining remains a probability-based activity, and the odds change as Bitcoin’s network difficulty evolves.
Powered by an energy-efficient ESP32 platform, the miner consumes about 18-watts of power, which is less than many household light bulbs. A built-in 2.8-inch display provides real-time information such as hash rate, mining status, temperature, and power usage, while Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity make setup a cinch.
The Bitcoin Ticket Miner operates independently, so no dedicated PC is required, and users can connect it to their network and begin monitoring activity through the onboard display. Its compact footprint even makes it easy to fit into a home office, gaming setup, or workspace.
For cryptocurrency enthusiasts, hobbyists, or anyone curious about how Bitcoin mining works behind the scenes, the BitCoin Ticket Miner offers a hands-on way to participate without making a major investment.
Get the BitCoin Ticket Miner while it’s discounted at $39.99 (reg. $99.99) for a limited time.
