It is time for our annual look back at the best iPhone case releases of the year. This year brands were, in some cases, forced to contend with Apple’s new iPhone Air form-factor, but things were largely the same as 2024 otherwise. Our yearly iPhone case awards features some beloved brands alongside some all-new designs and a couple sleeper hits that might have slipped under your radar. 

While there were still some lingering all-time lows on Pixel Watch 4, Amazon has now brought back some additional color options at up to $100 off. The standard configs are still live from $300, but Amazon is once again offering most colorways on the LTE variant at the Black Friday price.  

Update 12/31: These deals are still and some models have now dropped even lower like this iPhone 17 Pro Max model at just $13.25 Prime shipped. 

We have tracked a number of deep deals on the 2025 Beats iPhone 17 case lineup, but Amazon has a number of the regularly $45 models down at $20, with some even dropping under $15 Prime shipped today. 

It’s New Year’s Eve and that likely means you (and about a million other folks) are going to be flagging down an Uber ride or two tonight. Except you won’t be paying full price for yours like they will because you will have flipped some cash for a discounted gift card beforehand with this deal from Best Buy. 

While we are starting to see some of the holiday Android game and app deals jump back up in price, loads of them are still on sale and we have added another sizable collection of deals to add to the mix today. Time is winding down on the Samsung Holiday Sale with hundreds in savings on Galaxy gear, and we are still tracking Google’s more affordable 2025 Pixel Buds 2a at nearly 25% off, Pixel Watch 4 at up to $100 off, and its latest TV Streamer 4K back to Black Friday pricing. But for now it’s all about the apps and they are waiting down below. 

Today’s lineup of the best deals on Apple TV shows and movies is now ready to roll. Your Tuesday collection is dominated by blockbuster films, bundles, and some brilliant dramas including the Jurassic World Trilogy, the Tron 3-Movie Collection, A Beautiful Mind, Green Book, Apollo 13, Conclave, and more. Everything awaits down below.

While we were already tracking a gigantic number of price drops for the holidays on the App Store, there are some additional highlights landing again today. Prices are bound to start jumping back up at any time now so be sure to get in there while you can and be sure to check out Apple Watch Series 11 deals back in-stock at $100 off as well as Amazon’s first deal on the black 2025 Beats Powerbeats Fit as well.

Alongside the long list of ongoing Switch end of year deals below, we also wanted to highlight the new year Best Buy game sale featuring a host of notable offers on PS5 titles. While not everything is quite as low as it was for Black Friday this year, if you got some Best Buy or Amazon gift cards for Christmas this can be a great chance to land some new lows on games like LEGO Party!, Astro Bot, DOOM: The Dark Ages, NINJA GAIDEN 4, and more. We are also still tracking the first notable deal on Hollow Knight: Silksong for PS5 and even more down below. 

• Hollow Knight: Silksong $16 (Reg. $20)
• LEGO Party! $35 (Reg. $45)
• Astro Bot $40 (Reg. $60)
• DOOM: The Dark Ages$35 (Reg. $70)
• NINJA GAIDEN 4 $45 (Reg. $70)
• Alan Wake 2 Deluxe Edition$42 (Reg. $60)
• Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater $40 (Reg. $70)
• Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 $44 (Reg. $70)
• And even more…

PlayStation Store Holiday sale – 6,300+ titles up to 75% off

Deals are still flying on the official Samsung site, but over the last couple weeks we have seen Amazon slowly dropping the price on the latest Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 to new lows, and it has once again as of this morning. The most affordable model is now $170 off the list. 

Stanley Everyday Camp Mug

Buy for $18 (Reg. $25)

What we love

The Quenchers and fancy bright colors are all the rage right now, but there’s arguably nothing more classic than Stanley’s traditional Hammertone green treatment. This Everyday Camp Mug delivers just that, with a rugged and robust build that’s well worth the Amazon low price here if you ask me. 

Amazon is now offering a giant $430+ price drop on Apple’s banger 2TB M5 iPad Pro right now. While still quite an investment, we are talking about Amazon’s best price ever and seriously sizable price drop on Apple’s brand new M5-powered tablet. 

The new Apple Crossbody Strap certainly isn’t for everyone, and there are plenty of third-party solutions that can deliver a similar experience for less, but if you are looking to score the real thing a bunch colorways have hit new Amazon lows today. 

We already featured some deals on brand new condition Alpine and Trail Loops this morning, but Best Buy has a particularly compelling deal on Apple’s all-black Ocean Band this morning at 46% off the list price. 

While the best price of the season is still live on the Hazel Pixel Buds Pro 2 at $165, we wanted to highlight the ongoing deal on Google’s more affordable 2025 release – the Pixel Buds 2a at $99 shipped. 

This morning we are tracking a new all-time low on another one of Apple’s new 2025 Apple Watch Ultra bands. Alongside some drops across other colors and models, the Apple Alpine Loop in Terra Cotta orange with the natural finish has now dropped to its best price ever at 15% off. 

While we are still tracking the first price drops at Amazon on the new Powerbeats Fit in all four colors, there are some even deeper deals on the higher-end Powerbeats Pro 2 right now. Amazon has all four colors it carries at $50 off the list price, and you can save over $110 with Best Buy open-box units. 

The Samsung holiday sale rolls on for a few more days, but we just spotted a deep deal on the JetBlack Galaxy Z Fold 7 over at Amazon. Some users are still seeing a gigantic targeted $720 off all colors by way of a cash discount combining with a FREE 2x storage offer direct from Samsung, and that is the best cash discount if you’re one of the lucky ones here. But anyone can land the black model at an impressive $520 off via Amazon today. 

Update 12/29: This deal is now live once again.

This limited-time promotion includes a Costco 1-Year Gold Star Membership plus a $40 Digital Costco Shop Card* for $65—a combination that may be especially appealing if you’ve been thinking about joining Costco.

Today’s lineup of the best deals on Apple TV shows and movies is now ready to roll, including titles like Apocalypse Now and Reindeer Games joined by a few complete series packages like Arcane League of Legends, Medici, Hemlock Grove, and Ray Donovan. You’ll find everything waiting down below alongside Apple Watch Series 11 now back in-stock at $100 off and Apple’s most affordable blue M3 iPad Air Cell model at $170 off.

While we are still tracking a host of notable deals on Switch  1 and 2 games, including Hollow Knight: Silksong, Hades II, and Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 down below, we also wanted to highlight this deal on Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Deals have been rare on this once since release, but you will find a chance to land a copy for Switch down at $44.99 Prime shipped (a $6 delivery fee will apply otherwise) via Woot. Regularly $60, this is 25% off and the lowest price we can find – it is the “Latin America Version” but deals have been rare and it is not region locked (“gameplay language can be changed from Spanish to English during initial setup if desired”). Head below for more of the best Switch holiday deals.

Stanley Quencher 30 oz. H2.0 Tumbler – Fluted Ash

Buy for $22.50 (Reg. $45)

What we love

Stanley’s Quencher H2.0 Tumblers are a staple in the mobile drinking vessel game, and for good reason. They deliver that popular handled form-factor with the multi-function lid – straw, drink opening, and full-cover top – that are great for work, travel, the gym, and even at home if you ask me. This one features the elevated fluted design as well. 

Alongside the ongoing deal on Pixel Buds Pro 2 and the return of $100 price drops on Pixel Watch 4, Amazon has now brought back its Black Friday price on the Google TV Streamer 4K – both the Porcelain and Hazel color models are back at $74.99 shipped. 

Stanley Next X Nature Canteen

Buy for $22.50 (Reg. $45)

What we love

This Stanley canteen delivers a stainless steel build with a tethered lid that also ships with the purpose-built shoulder strap. Adventure-ready, whether you’re hitting the hiking trails or preparing for spring/summer expeditions early this model is sitting at its best price ever right now via Amazon. 

Amazon is now offering its best price to date on the most affordable 13-inch M3 iPad Air cell model in blue today at nearly $170 off the list price – this deal is also live on the purple variant. 

One of the surprise post-Black Friday deals this year served up all-time low pricing on Apple Watch Series 11. Undercutting the official Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers, these $100 price drops are largely now live again at Amazon as we push towards the New Year. 

Outside of a quick price drop on Halloween this year for the orange set only, today Amazon is ushering in its first discount on the 2025 Beats Powerbeats Fit wireless noise cancelling buds. 

Welcome to 9to5Toys News Weekly – your go-to spot to catch up on the latest new product releases, features, and hands-on reviews. This weekly roundup collects all of the coolest new gadgets, the most interesting updates in the world of tech, and more from the past week, and organizes it into a single handy reading list for you to sift through every Sunday morning.

Good morning and welcome to Best of 9to5Toys Weekly – a one-stop shop for all of the week’s best deals on Apple gear, Samsung and Android tech, accessories for smartphones and Macs, intelligent household upgrades, and even deals to update your wardrobe. This week we have the all-time lows on Google Pixel 10 handsets (Amazon’s bonus $100 on-page coupons are still live), alongside the ongoing Samsung Holiday Sale, and Best Buy’s Year-End Sale, as well as a whole lot more down below.

We are checking back in with the ongoing Samsung holiday deals this morning as it now appears to be offering straight up $200 price drops on the latest Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra for everyone. There was some fancy deal targeting for specific users previously on this offer, and there still is on the 1TB, but now anyone can score one at $200 off with the option of throwing in the compatible keyboard case at 50% off. Just be sure to head below for a look at the open-box offer we spotted at over $380 off too. 

With Christmas now behind us, next up is New Years and this year’s 2025 Target New Year’s Eve ad has arrived. Amazon also now launched a sort of mini New Years store loaded with deals on decorations, apparel, and more, but Target has also now unleashed its latest weekly ad with a host of deals set to go live this weekend. 

The Android holiday game and app deals just keep on coming folks. Now joining the gigantic list of titles we already featured on sale for Christmas this year, there are even more top-tier titles landing today, including everything from a load of Final Fantasy classics through to the incredible Mana series, Kingdom Rush games, a bunch of puzzlers, and much more. Be sure to hit up the ongoing Samsung holiday sale while you still can, not to mention all of the new lows still live on the Pixel 10 series (they are now as much as $100 less than they were on Black Friday), but you’ll find even more holiday Android game and app deals waiting below as well. 

I love me some Find My, and perhaps the most useful implementation of it in my life has come by way of those wonderful wallet tracker cards. Nomad’s Tracking Card (now known as the Tracking Card Air) has been a staple in my everyday carry for years and something I never leave the house without. However, the brand debuted a new Pro model this year with a metal build and much longer battery life and I have now had a chance to put this thing to the test, so let’s take a look to see if it is worth the higher price tag?

We are, as usual, still tracking a giant collection of iOS games and apps on sale for the holidays. Even more have now been added to the top of the massive list of deals down below, including Kingdom Rush titles, Iron Marines, FINAL FANTASY VIII, Trials of Mana, and that’s just for starters. Amazon does have AirPods Pro 3 back down at $199.50 shipped this morning, and Best Buy has launched a new Year-End Sale, but you are here for the iOS games and apps and they are waiting below.

You’ll find the three major digital console game sales waiting down below, alongside a host of mobile titles on sale for the holidays below. But we wanted to touch down this morning to highlight Woot’s deal on the new Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 for Switch. This regularly $70 bundle is relatively rarely on sale outside of these Woot offers and it has now dropped a touch lower at $58.99 Prime shipped. This is the proper U.S. boxed edition at the lowest price we can find – it is currently down at $59.49 shipped via a third-party Walmart if you would prefer to take that route. There is only a Switch version, but there is also a FREE Switch 2 update you can download that “leverages the Nintendo Switch 2’s processing capabilities for an even better adventure.” 

We had a steady run of notable post-Black Friday deals on Amazon Devices, not the least of which is the Echo Spot at $5 under the late November pricing. A personal favorite model of mine in the lineup, you can still score this one at $44.99 shipped right now, and if you landed any Amazon gift cards for Christmas you’ll be looking at one of the lowest prices ever. 

Amazon is now offering iPad mini 7 starting from $399 shipped. That’s a $100 price drop on the most affordable model in the lineup across all four colorways, and a great deal to double down on that Amazon gift card you might have just received. 

Some of the best Christmas deals this year landed on Google’s latest Pixel 10 lineup when Amazon decided to throw up some bonus $100 on-page coupons across just about every model in the lineup. Those offers are largely still live, but another highlight offer from the latest Pixel lineup delivers the dark Hazel Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 down at $165 shipped, and that offer is also still up for grabs. 

Amazon is now offering AirPods Pro 3 down at $199.49 shipped– that’s within $0.50 of the lowest price it has offered them for since release. 

Best Buy has now transitioned its holiday event over to a Year-End Sale that is now live through January 1, 2026. While of the big ticket tech deals aren’t quite deep as they were in the lead up to Christmas, there are still loads of discounts across just about every product category that can get a bit sweeter if you’re looking to use up those Best Buy gift cards you might have received in your stocking and holiday cards. 

Update 12/25: B&H is offering this same deal again for Christmas Day – the final $348 price will appear in the cart during checkout – this time it is available at both the black and platinum silver sets.

Heads up folks, we are now tracking a particularly notable deal on the wonderful new Sony WH-1000XM6 ANC headphones courtesy of B&H. One of the more exciting releases in flagship headphones this year and an extremely popular option among both readers and 9to5 staffers, you’ll now find the regularly $450 headphones dropping down to $348 shipped at B&H for today only – discount applies in the cart. 

Merry Christmas folks! If you’re looking to score some new games you can download and play today, there are some great deals live on the eShop, PlayStation Store, App Store, and elsewhere. Just about all retail locations are, naturally, closed today and you’re almost certainly not going to be getting any traditional deliveries, but if you’re looking for some new titles to play while traveling or during some down time today to relax in between the festivities, there are plenty of deals live on downloadable titles. 

Is Walmart closed for Christmas Day? Is Best Buy and Target open today? How about Costco and Sam’s Club? The short answer here is yes, it’s Christmas and just about everything will be closed today. You might find the odd Dunkin’ or McDonald’s open, and it looks like all Waffle House locations are open today, but by and large it’s a day of celebration, gifts, and relaxation. 

Is Walmart open today? How late is Target open on Christmas Eve? Is Costco and Sam’s Club open? Just in case you have some last-minute gifting needs, or just need to hit your local Costco for some groceries to get on the table tonight, we have put together some details below on which stores are closed/open on Christmas Eve this year – worry not, just about everything is open, just on adjusted holiday hours.

Just after seeing $50 price drops go live on the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle again this morning, Nintendo has now announced (and launched) its Hits for the Holidays Sale. The annual eShop sale event delivers hundreds of price drops on both Switch and Switch 2 games, and it is now live with as much as 85% in savings.
