MagSafe Duo is getting some competition from Belkin, as the brand’s latest charger is now available for pre-order. The new Belkin BoostCharge Pro brings full 15W MagSafe charging speeds to your nightstand, as well as to your vacation with a travel-ready design. Perfect for sliding in your travel bag or luggage, the new release complements your iPhone 14 as well as AirPods Pro with a minimal and compact footprint.

Earlier this year, Samsung revealed the new king of all its budget-friendly handsets, with the Galaxy A14 5G hitting store shelves in January. Now all these months later, the handset is ready to solidify its seat on the throne with an Amazon price cut dropping the unlocked smartphone down to $166.99 shipped. Normally fetching $200, this $33 discount arrives as one of the very first chances to save period. It’s only the third price cut to date and the first since back in February. Not to mention, a new all-time low. Samsung’s Galaxy A14 5G may be one of the most affordable handsets on the market, but it still arrives with some notable specs all centered around Android 13 support out of the box. There’s a 6.6-inch FHD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate to complement its 5,000mAh battery and 15W charging. The whole experience is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 700 chip, which you can read all about the performance of over at 9to5Google.

Earlier this spring, Belkin launched a new addition to its power bank lineup with a unique focus on your Apple Watch. The new BoostCharge Pro is now seeing its very first discount at Amazon, dropping down to $89.99 shipped after the on-page coupon has been clipped. Normally fetching $100, this 10% discount is now arriving as a new all-time low and the only discount so far. Belkin’s new BoostCharge Pro power bank arrives centered around an internal 10,000mAh battery. It has a soft plastic finish to house all of the internal charging tech, like its 20W USB-C port for topping off your iPhone 14. Though the best part and the whole reason to buy this accessory over any other power bank is the built-in Apple Watch Fast Charger. The sleek build can top off your wearable at the full charging rate, making this a perfect option for your everyday carry or travel setup. Dive into our launch coverage for a complete look at what to expect. Then head below for more.

Joining the midweek sale that went live on Wednesday, the Anker savings today continue over to one of its latest and most popular releases. The new Anker 3-in-1 MagSafe Cube wowed with its compact design earlier in the year when we first reviewed it, and now that Apple has revealed the new StandBy feature coming this fall, it’s only a more compelling option. The charging station now drops down to $112.49 shipped after the on-page coupon has been clipped. Normally fetching $150, the 25% discount is now delivering a new all-time low at $8 below our previous Prime Day mention. As Anker’s first 15W MagSafe charger, its new 3-in-1 Cube just hit the scene earlier this year with the ability to refuel your entire Apple kit in one compact design. The cube folds out to offer not just a true 15W MagSafe pad, but also a Fast Charger-ready Apple Watch dock and a secondary 5W Qi pad for AirPods. This has been a staple on my nightstand since our review went live in February, and it’s easily my favorite MagSafe charger on the market.

The best price of the year is now live on Apple TV HD. Bundled with that shiny new Siri Remote, the savings today now land at $79 shipped via Amazon, as well as Adorama. Normally fetching $100 these days, you’re looking at $21 in savings alongside a new 2023 low. We last saw the streamer land at $93 after trending around $120 for most of the early spring. Now, it’s $14 under our previous mention. While not the refreshed Apple TV 4K with the A15 Bionic chip that currently starts from $125, this HD model delivers a similar overall set top box experience with support for 1080p streaming. You’ll still get all of the access to Netflix, HBO, Disney+, and other services, alongside Apple Arcade, Fitness+, and HomeKit hub functionality, just in a package that may be better suited to the guest room or office than the main home theater. Not to mention, the all-new Siri Remote that owners are raving about. Get a closer look in our hands-on coverage. Head below for more.

Prime Day came and went without a chance to save on the Motorola MA1 Wireless Android Auto Adapter, but now Woot is stepping in to remedy that. Dropping to $79.99 Prime shipped, delivery will run you an extra $6 fee without an Amazon account. Down from $100, you’re now looking at $20 in savings alongside the second-best offer to date. This is the first drop since back in May, and matches that offer in order to come within $10 of the year’s best price. Motorola’s MA1 adapter upgrades your car and its existing entertainment unit’s Android Auto support with wireless connectivity. So instead of having to physically plug your smartphone in each time you get in the car, this add-on will let you pair wirelessly for a more seamless experience. It plugs into your ride via USB-A, and we cover what to expect from the experience in our hands-on review. Head below for more.

Last fall, Case-Mate launched a series of retro USB-C chargers with flashy transparent designs. The single port offerings were great for your standard iPhone 14 charging needs, but that 30W GaN tech could only go so far. Now the company is back with a new and even more capable addition to the lineup. Meet the Case-Mate Fuel Brites 50W USB-C charger.

Earlier this year, Shargeek launched a new addition to its lineup of Classic Macintosh-themed charging accessories. The new Retro 67 GaN Charger took everything we loved about the original and upped the ante with even more power prowess packed into its signature Apple build. Now the brand’s official Amazon storefront is offering the first chance to save on the new Shargeek Retro 67. Dropping down to $69.99 shipped after you’ve clipped the on-page coupon, you’re looking at a $10 discount from the usual $80 going rate. It’s only the second chance to save from the retailer and matching the all-time low. Shargeek’s second iteration of releasing a Macintosh-themed charger arrives with the design you’d expect from that inspiration, just in a new form-factor. There’s now 67W of power inside the Retro 67 charger and then three USB-C ports to handle charging M2 MacBooks, iPads, and your iPhone from a single package. New this time around is also a display built right into where the Mac’s screen should be, which shows off charging speeds and plays a Matrix-style animation when not in use. We take an even deeper dive into what to expect in our Tested with 9to5Toysreview. Head below for more.

CASETiFY’s latest collaboration is officially hitting store shelves today, with the eagerly awaited Evangelion iPhone 14 case collection now available. I’ve personally been waiting for weeks to share my thoughts on the lineup, and if I didn’t write home enough about the accessories in my launch coverage, I am back to gush all about the new releases.

Joining some of the other all-time lows on Twelve South gear, Amazon is now offering the Twelve South ParcSlope Stand for MacBook and iPad at its lowest price yet. Now dropping down to $29.98 shipped, this desktop accessory is 50% off the usual $60 going rate. We last saw it at $48, with today’s offer taking another $18 off to deliver a new all-time low. Unlike many of the other stands we’ve been featuring from Twelve South as of late, the ParcSlope stand takes on a more versatile form-factor that on top of being able to prop up a MacBook, can also handle holding your iPad in place. Just as perfect for getting your M2 laptop’s screen a bit closer to eye level as it is for providing the perfect place to rest your 12.9-inch Liquid Retina display to use as a drawing tablet, Twelve South ParcSlope features an angled design with a premium construction. It has a minimal design that still helps increase airflow to your device. Head below for more.

Last night saw the new buildable LEGO Chewbacca hit the scene, and now Ahsoka is taking the spotlight with a pair of new sets from the upcoming Disney+ series. Arriving in September, you can now pre-order the upcoming New Republic E-Wing vs. Shin Hati’s Starfighter (75364) and Ahsoka Tano’s T-6 Jedi Shuttle (75362).

The Marvels will hit theaters later this fall as the latest MCU theatrical release, and today we’re getting a first look at the companion LEGO kit. Arriving as what should be the one and only build focused on the film, LEGO set number 76232 will assemble a sleek spacecraft named the Hoopty. And with a name like that, I can’t help but be excited to see what this mode is all about.

Here it is, the largest set in the upcoming LEGO Star Wars summer collection. Earlier this year, 9to5Toys was able to report on what to expect from the new wave of sets launching on August 1. As the most expensive of them all, a buildable Chewbacca with over 2,300 pieces was slated to hit store shelves as LEGO set number 75371. After a few months of builders eagerly awaiting just how this model would stack up, we’re getting a first look.

Update: We added some better photos!

After failing to see some all-time low discounts go live on Apple’s new 16-inch M2 Pro MacBook Pro for Prime Day, it looks like Amazon was just holding out on us during the shopping event. The retailer is back today with the best prices yet on Apple’s new flagship release, with the 16-inch M2 Pro MacBook Pro dropping to $2,249.99 shipped for the 512GB/16GB configuration in both silver and space gray. Down from $2,499, you’re now looking at $249 in savings to go alongside the second-best offer to date at within $1 of the all-time low. It’s the best discount in months, and clocks in at $49 below the Prime Day offers from last week. There’s also $249 off higher-end models, too.

Apple’s new MacBook Pro comes outfitted with the same form-factors as before, centered around a 16-inch Liquid Retina display. From there, you’re looking at mostly under the hood improvements that come centered around the latest in Apple Silicon. The M2 Pro processor powers the experience to make this Apple’s most capable portable MacBook yet. There’s up to 22-hour battery life and Wi-Fi 6E support for the first time to go alongside a new 8K HDMI output and three Thunderbolt 4 ports. There of course remains the SDXC slot on the side, as well as all of the other adjustments you can read about in our launch coverage that also takes a deeper dive into the performance of the new M2 Pro chip.

Anker today is launching one of its more niche products for Mac and PC, but something that is surely going to excite anyone running a dual computer setup.

Anker’s official Amazon storefront is now offering the first discount in months on its new MagGo PopSocket MagSafe Power Bank at $39.99 shipped. Normally fetching $70, this accessory just hit the scene last fall and is now seeing its first discount since back in February. Matching the all-time low, it’s now $30 off. Packed into a slim form-factor you’ll find a 5,000mAh battery and magnet array that lets you attach this MagSafe power bank onto the back of your shiny new iPhone 14, as well as 13 and 12 series devices. It packs a 7.5W power output and from there notably features a built-in PopSocket for some added grip. Get a closer look at what to expect in our launch coverage and then head below for more.

Woot today is offering a rare chance to save some actual cash on a Microsoft Xbox Series S. Right now, open-box units are marked down to $227.69 Prime shipped, with a $6 delivery fee applying otherwise. Today’s offer lands from the usual $299 price tag, pairing today’s price cut with $71 in savings. Prime Day did see some bundle offers on new condition consoles, but there weren’t any actual markdowns on the console alone. While stock shortages have all but ceased to exist as of late, that doesn’t mean we’re seeing discounts on Xbox Series S left and right now. But thanks to today’s offer, you can bring home Microsoft’s latest console experience. Capable of 1080p 120Hz gaming, Xbox Series S uses the same processor as its higher-end X counterpart while also offering 512GB of onboard storage. Includes a 90-day warranty. Head below for more.

Moment makes some of the best accessories on the market for elevating the photos your iPhone can capture, and today all of those popular add-ons are more affordable. Continuing the Prime Day savings, the company is now discounting some of its signature photography gear with free shipping across the board. A series of particular standouts are Moment’s in-house smartphone lenses, with the Macro 10x Lens being a personal favorite at $89.99. Down from $130, this one is now down to the best price of the year at $40 off. It’s $10 under our previous mention and the best in over 3 months. Pairing with one of the compatible cases (also on sale), this lens will let you take impressive close-up photos with all of the pixels offered by your handset’s main sensor. I personally reviewed several of the Moment lenses last fall, finding them to be a must-have for anyone who takes smartphone photography seriously. 

As part of its Prime Day 2023 deals, Amazon now offers the very first chance to save on the all-new Beats Studio Buds+. Arriving with that eye-catching transparent plastic design, you can now bring home the just-released earbuds for $149.99. There are two other styles available, too. Down from $170, today’s offer amounts to $20 in savings alongside being a new all-time low. It’s the first chance to save period, too. Beats Studio Buds+ just launched back in May and arrive as the latest listening experience from Beats. Notable features include improved ANC and transparency modes, which are complemented by upgraded microphones and the slick designed build. There’s 36 hours of listening for good measure, and everything else you can read about in our hands-on review.

This summer has been all about the rebirth of Android tablets, and the new OnePlus Pad helps lead the charge. While Prime Day came and went without a chance to save on the new release, OnePlus is now looking to follow up the summer shopping event with the chance to score its new OnePlus Pad with a Magnetic Keyboard for $479.99 shipped. Normally that’s what you would pay for just the tablet, with the added keyboard bringing an extra $150 in savings into the picture. The accessory will automatically be added to your cart. The new OnePlus Pad has been deemed a pretty good Android tablet by our friends over at 9to5Google, and now it’s seeing the first chance to save. In addition to keyboard, this bundle gets you the brand’s latest debut which comes centered around an 11.61-inch panel with 144Hz refresh rate. It’s all powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chip, which for all intents and purposes is comparable to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 that many of you will actually be familar with. It comes backed by 128GB of SSD storage, as well as 8GB of memory. Head below for more.

Last fall, Logitech launches its new Aurora gaming collection with some battlestation-ready peripherals that backed adorable form with high-end function to match. Now we’re seeing some of the best prices yet roll out to the lineup after Prime Day, all headlined by the Logitech G715 Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard at $149.99 shipped. Delivering one of the very first chances to save this year, you’re now looking at $50 in savings from the usual $200 going rate. This is $10 under our previous mention and a new 2023 low.

Delivering one of Logitech’s latest keyboards, the recent G715 release arrives with a slick white design that comes backed by per-key RGB backlighting and GX Red tactile switches. The wireless form-factor works over both Bluetooth and the 2.4GHz wireless receiver, and also features other fun inclusions like a dedicated volume scroll bar, media controls, and a customizable top plate. Though my favorite aspect of the keyboard has to be the bundled wrist rest, which is shaped like a cloud to really round out the stylings of the setup. Our hands-on review talks all about the aesthetics and features of both keyboards, too. Head below for more from $70.

Over the past two days, we’ve been scouring the far reaches of Amazon and beyond in order to showcase all of the best Prime Day 2023 deals. While you’ll still find a collection of discounts live until the shopping event closes its virtual doors later tonight, we’ve highlighted the top 10 Prime Day deals still available. Skip through the pages of offers we’ve already covered and just go see the best of the best, including the latest from Apple, Samsung, Beats, TVs, and so much more. Just remember to act fast before the best Prime Day deals dry up.

The Prime Day 2023 discounts are in full swing as we’re into the second day of the Amazon savings event. With discounts landing in just about every corner of the PC gaming space, now is the perfect time to build yourself a custom battlestation. With discounts on everything from GPUs and CPUs to cases, RAM, and storage, we’re breaking down all of the essentials below.

As part of its Prime Day 2023 deals, Amazon is now offering the best prices to date on an assortment of ecobee HomeKit thermostats. Headlining the savings, the latest flagship ecobee SmartThermostat has now dropped down to $209.99 shipped. This is the first notable discount in months at $40 off, and delivering a new all-time low from the usual $250 price tag. It’s $5 under our previous mention, too. All packed into a refreshed design that comes centered around a 4-inch display with a Zinc build that steps up from the plastic casings used in the past. Features are also seeing some improvements with much of the same Siri and Alexa integration as before. Though the biggest adjustment is that there’s now a built-in air quality monitor which pairs with the external temperature sensor to help provide local readings of temperature, humidity, and even stats like VOCs and carbon dioxide levels. Dive into our hands-on launch coverage for a better idea of what to expect. Head below for more.

B&H is now offering the only M2 Mac mini discount this Prime Day. Apple’s baseline desktop Mac has been hard to find on store shelves as of late, with stock shortages or delayed shipping setting the scene leading into Amazon’s summer savings event. Now it’s going on sale, landing at $549 shipped. Today’s $50 discount is marking the first discount in over a month and the best we’ve seen since back in May. This comes within $50 of the all-time low and is the third-best price cut yet.

Apple’s all-new M2 Mac mini refreshes a beloved form-factor to feature its latest-generation of in-house silicon. There’s that same compact build that has made previous versions so popular amongst first-time Mac owners, as well as streamlined workstation users and homelabbers alike. The improved performance of the M2 chip also pairs with dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, a pair of USB-A slots, an HDMI output, and Gigabit Ethernet. You’ll also find Wi-Fi 6E, and at least an 8-core CPU backed by a 10-core GPU and 256GB of storage. Over at 9to5Mac, we detail what to expect from the experience in a recent hands-on review, too.

The Prime Day 2023 NAS deals have arrived. Courtesy of not just Amazon, but also B&H, the savings are finally landing on popular Synology models and more with free shipping across the board. We’ve already seen discounts on the hard drives you’ll need to populate these systems go live, but now the actual network attached storage devices are up for grabs at the best prices of the year. A favorite from the discounts this year, Amazon is offering only the second chance to save on the new Synology 5-Bay DS1522+ NAS. Dropping down to $559.99 shipped, this model just launched last fall for $700 and is now $140 off. This all-time low makes for a chance to get in on one of the brand’s latest NAS without paying full price while delivering the first markdown of the year.

As you’ll know from our hands-on review, this is one capable piece of always-on storage and may very well be one of the last NAS you’ll ever need. It features a 5-bay design that can hold up to 80TB of raw storage. More than capable of handling Plex transcoding and other media server needs, it won’t break a sweat with Time Machine backups, either. Though the most exciting part is that it supports up to 796MB/s transfers and can be upgraded with a 10GbE network card down the line. Head below for all of the other Synology NAS deals.

Taking a break from the Amazon offers, Satechi is stepping in with its own sitewide summer sale. Now for a limited time taking 20% off its entire collection of iPhone, Mac, and iPad accessories, you’re looking at some of the best prices of the year. You’ll just have to apply code PRIME at checkout to lock-in the savings, which also nets you free shipping across the board in orders over $40. Be sure to go shop the entire sale here, or just head below the fold as we break down all of our favorites. Satechi makes some of our favorite accessories for everything in Apple’s stable, and now you can refresh your workstation or everyday carry for less.

As part of its Prime Day 2023 deals, Amazon is now offering the Google Nest Thermostat for $84.99 shipped in several styles. Landing at a new all-time low, the $45 discount from its usual $130 price tag is now the best we’ve ever seen. It’s $15 under our previous mention from earlier in the summer, and the first time it has ever dropped this low. Arriving as the latest in-house option for bringing voice control and scheduling to the climate control system, Google Nest Thermostat sports a refreshed form-factor that’s centered around a frosted glass aesthetic with LED display. With summer on the horizon, this is your chance to finally bring some smarts into your setup for controlling the AC through the next few months from your smartphone or with your voice. On top of leveraging Assistant, it can also be tied into schedules and automations, too. It also has some new tricks up its sleeve thanks to Matter support, bringing HomeKit into the mix alongside a wider array of compatible systems than before. Get a closer look in our hands-on review and then head below for more.
