Didn’t we already have a Prime Day? Yes, but that was Amazon’s July Prime Day — this one is in October. While it typically doesn’t offer the same breadth of deals (or deep discounts) as the OG day, if you’ve been keeping your eye on a certain pair of AirPods, Kindle tablet or, randomly this year, a lot of Lego, then you might be in luck. Some highlights include $154 off AirPods Max (both Lightning and the recent USB-C version), the recently launched Ring pan-and-tilt security camera for $50 and Anker’s travel-friendly MagGo 3-in-1 Charging Station that can charge an Apple Watch, AirPods and smartphone all at once down to $88. Sony’s best headphones, another perennial Prime Day attendee, are on sale too: The WH-1000XM5 are on sale for $298, that’s $101 off. If you’re shopping for a phone, though, no iPhones are discounted. Boo. However, the Pixel 8a is $100 cheaper ($399) and the OnePlus 12 is down to $650. We’ll be pulling the best deals into a single place, right here. — Mat Smith The biggest stories you might have missed Phoenix Springs review: A dazzling and disquieting sci-fi mystery How to use the new Apple Cash Tap to Cash feature in iOS 18 ‘Halo’ developer 343 Industries rebrands itself to Halo Studios Meta is working to fix Threads’ engagement bait problem ‘Not all comments or replies are good,’ Adam Mosseri said.
