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. The all-new Best of 9to5Toys collects all of the most notable deals and organizes them neatly into one handy catalog for you to peruse every Saturday morning.

The 25W Qi2.2 MagSafe charging stands are beginning to emerge. We detailed the UGREEN 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 models already – there are even some early deals live on those right now – as well as the new Belkin 25W charging stands that can power your entire Apple kit, but perhaps the most impressive-looking of them all is the new Anker variant. Complete with an onboard display similar to those on its existing Prime charging gear, it is thus far a one-of-a-kind and the official Anker site has some additional details and imagery up now (as well as an early bird deal). 

IFA 2025 is now in full swing with all the latest in consumer tech, wild concepts, and more. Robots for your robots that climb stairs, lawn mowers that play fetch with your dog, the latest Qi2.2 25W MagSafe tech, modular charging stations, flagship headphones, the latest in gaming handhelds, Gemini smart TVs, and new tablets have all surfaced over the last couple days, and you’ll find the most interesting new gear on display from IFA 2025 collected for you down below. 

Yesterday as part of its IFA reveals, Anker debuted its new Prime power family. Ranging from the new 26,250mAh 300W Power Bank through to the new 160W 3-Port Anker Prime Charger, and the impressive-looking new 3-in-1 25W Prime Wireless Charging Station with AirCool tech and the built-in display, just about all of it is set to release on September 29, 2025, and there are some notable promotions inbound. Anker site is promising 30% off as part of the early bird perks alongside a FREE laptop bag worth $70 on select purchases. Scope out the details below. 

Anker’s IFA showing this year has been rather noteworthy, from AI-powered voice recorders, super new higher-power portable battery solutions, and its new 25W MagSafe charging stand with an onboard display, but it’s new MagGo Prime Wireless Car Charger seems to be slipping under the radar a bit. Featuring 25W of juice, and among the first MagSafe car charger to do so, it is now confirmed for an upcoming release and is eligible for the early-bird discounts we featured this morning. 

Bose unveiled its next-gen flagship QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds back in June shortly before we had a chance to test them out for ourselves, but the brand isn’t done yet. Today Bose is ready to reveal its brand-new flagship QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) with a host of immersive audio upgrades, detection tech, and enhancements across the board. 

As you likely already noticed from our coverage over at 9to5Google and the deals we featured earlier, the new Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 and S11 Ultra have arrived. The new flagship tablets are now available for purchase straight from Samsung with some notable trade-in discounts that can knock up to $800 off the price of the new tablets alongside as much as $150 in FREE storage upgrades. However, if you would prefer to go to Amazon, it too is offering some straight up cash discounts on the S11 256GB and 512GB models now too. 

Google unleashed all of its next-generation gear last month, and there is now less than 48 hours left to take advantage of the deals. While it wouldn’t be surprising to see retailers like Amazon keep their hundreds in bonus credit offers rolling, the official Google Store does say its Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL promotion “ends 9/4” and that means the clock might be ticking to take advantage here. 

As part of the IFA 2025 festivities, one of our favorite accessory makers is expanding its OntheGo lineup with a pair of new peripherals. Today Satechi is launching its new foldable OntheGo Bluetooth Keyboard with Stand for iPad (and just about anything else) alongside the new OntheGo Bluetooth Mouse. Get a closer look below. 

Anker is unleashing a slew of new gear as part of its IFA 2025 offerings, including the new family of Prime charging gear and its latest Qi2.2 25W MagSafe charging stand with an onboard display, but its new miniature AI voice recorder is landing as well. Officially known as the Soundcore Work, you’re looking at a tiny wearable microphone designed to capture conversations before leveraging AI capabilities to transcribe them at a moment’s notice. 

We knew Hollow Knight: Silksong was going to be a big deal when it went live this morning on all platforms. But for those folks who were wondering if the launch would crash the Steam servers and break the eShop…the answer is yes. 

This is it folks, the countdown has not only begun but it is about to finally, after nearly a decade of waiting, end – Hollow Knight: Sliksong will be live on all platforms this morning. Perhaps outside of whatever Nintendo eventually released for Switch 2, the most anticipated game of the year is about to go prime time and be available to download across just about any platform you could want it on. 

Remember when the only thing it seemed like robot vacuums couldn’t do was just go up the stairs? They used to be really good at falling down the stairs, but then the engineers got pretty good at stopping them from doing that, and now, courtesy of Anker’s Eufy labs, there’s a new MarsWalker ready for prime time in 2026 that can literally walk your robot vacuum up the stairs for you. 

Anker is landing at IFA with a new family of Prime power gear. From an ultra powerful 300W Power Bank carrying a 26,250mAh battery through to upgraded editions of its 14-in-1 Prime Docking Station, the 3-port wall charger, and an impressive looking new 25W Qi2.2 3-in-1 MagSafe Charging Station with an onboard display to match the rest of the lineup. 

The biggest thing in gaming releases soon, very soon. And it’s an indie game. The long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong is finally here, or will be in well under 24 hours now, as developer Team Cherry has confirmed the release times for the game alongside the shocking $20 price of entry. 

Today Mophie is unleashing its new premium dual-device charging stand for AirPods Max. The  aptly named Max Charging Stand combines what the brands calls a premium anodized aluminum build with purpose-built AirPods Max features, including a magnetic USB-C charging dongle and auto sleep/wake functionality. Now available for purchase, you can get a closer look and more details down below. 

Update: 007 First Light releases March 27, 2026. Pre-orders are now live at Amazon:

• 007 First Light pre-order $70
• 007 First Light Legacy Edition $300
  • PS5, Xbox, and PC

The world’s most famous secret agent is set to make a triumphant return in AAA console game form soon, and Sony is set to deliver a lengthy gameplay blowout for the new 007 First Light this afternoon. We have already seen some relatively brief glimpses of gameplay as well as the reveal trailer, but nothing quite like we are in for today. 

Update: The LEGO SEGA Genesis Controller is now available as a gift with purchase when you checkout with at least $130 in your cart. 

The previously leaked LEGO SEGA Genesis Controller is official. The brick built gamepad made headlines just over a week ago when low res images were leaked online, but the set has now officially been revealed. 

Nintendo has been on a bit of a roll when it comes to adding to new titles to its classic game libraries for Switch Online members, and the next one has now been revealed. Just after Chibi-Robo! landed in the GameCube library for Switch 2 owners with a membership, it has now announced FORSAKEN 64 for the Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Classics collection. 

Now roughly 48 hours out from one of the most highly-anticipated game releases of the year, Team Cherry has issued a final Kickstarter update on Hollow Knight: Silksong. It just recently confirmed the GameStop price leak at $19.99 here in the U.S. across what appears to be all platforms (as well as the launch times on September 4), but what does this mean for Nintendo Switch 2?

Labor Day is delivering some big time price drops on highly sought-after gear this year. From MacBooks and Android tablets to 2025 Samsung foldables and e-bikes, we are also tracking some particularly solid discounts on AirPods 4 and the amazing new Sony XM6 headphones. Those deals also join offers on Amazon’s latest Kindle readers and some of our favorite Apple gear accessories too. All of the most notable discounts are in our master hub right here, but be sure to head below for a closer look at our top 10 favorite Labor Day deals up for grabs today followed some ultra-affordable accessories and essentials starting from $4. 

Sony has now announced the next State of Play – a deep dive into the new James Bond game. The upcoming 007 First Light is set to shine a light on what sounds like a new origin story for the world-renown, jet-setting secret agent and we are for a lengthy look at bond’s first mission this week. 

Labor Day has arrived and we have now collected all of the best deals carrying through the long weekend. The Amazon Labor Day sale, alongside events at Walmart, Best Buy and others kicked off well ahead of time this year and we have been featuring all of the most notable discounts across a massive selection of product categories for the better part of two weeks now. While not all of those offers are still be up for grabs through today, many of them are and you will find them all ready and waiting down below.

Is Walmart open on Labor Day? How about Best Buy and Target? Will Costco warehouses be opening doors for Labor Day 2025? Let’s take a look. By and large most major big box stores will be open and on typical hours, but there are a few exceptions you’ll want to take note of this year. 

Here are the best Pixel 10 preorder deals. The official Made by Google Pixel 10 event is still about 30 minutes out, but pre-order deals for the new Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL are now live. You’ll also find early offers on the brand new Pixel 10 Pro Fold and pre-order listings for the new Pixel Watch 4 now at the ready. 

As you know by now, and as we have detailed extensively over ay 9to5Google, the new Pixel 10, 10 Pro/XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold have arrived and are now up for pre-order with hundreds in FREE store credit at Amazon and from Google. They debuted alongside the new Pixel 4 but there is, unfortunately, no pre-order deals on those outside of trade-ins. However, there is a way to score a Pixel Watch 4 for FREE without a trade, or at effectively $200 off – all have to do is wait a week or so. Details below. 

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.

While there are certainly a number of notable deals live directly from Samsung right now and in the Amazon Labor Day Sale for the long weekend, Woot is landing this morning with a particularly notable price on the Samsung Galaxy Buds 3. The Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are currently marked down from $250 to $179.99 in the Amazon Labor Day event, and the Galaxy Buds 3 are on sale for $149.99, but Woot has the latter down at $74.99 Prime shipped. 

One of the most popular and unique smartphone “cases” we have featured over the last year or so is the Arc Pulse. And ahead of today’s Pixel 10 launch, the Arc Pulse 2-piece bumper style case is now ready for the new Google handsets, including both the 10 Pro and 10 Pro XL, in four colors of the Pulse’s aerospace-grade metal shell. Details await below. 

The new Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL pre-orders are now live with hundreds in FREE credit up for grabs on all of them. We have even detailed some tips on how to ensure you don’t pay anywhere near full price on the new Pixel Watch 4 even without a trade-in. But today we are going to take a look at some of the options for folks who are looking to land the new Google smartphones at a major discount with trade-ins. 

Update 9/1: Team Cherry has now officially confirmed the $19.99 list price on Hollow Knight: Silksong, as well as the launch times:

Release times:

7AM PT | 10AM ET | 4PM CEST | 11PM JST

Game price:

USD $19.99 | EUR €19.99 | JPY ¥2300

After many years of waiting, we are now only 5 days away from the release of the most highly-anticipated indie game (maybe ever) – Hollow Knight: Silksong. We finally know when the game will launch and even got a new trailer recently with a decent look at the game, but we still don’t know the price of it – unless a recent GameStop listing that surfaced is be to believed. 

As you likely already saw from our report this morning, Samsung has officially announced its next Galaxy event, and that means its FREE credit time. This event is teasing the “next evolution of Galaxy Tab” and Samsung is now offering a no-commitment chance at securing a FREE $50 Samsung credit ahead of time. Details below. 

Bose debuted the second-generation QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds recently and we have now had a chance to test them out ahead of today’s pre-order launch. Frankly, the now previous models are still a wonderful set of buds that can mostly go toe-to-toe with the best of them – we weren’t even sure if we wanted Bose to change anything. But with some subtle tweaks here and there, enhancements to its already world-class noise cancellation tech, better call quality, and fine tuned audio, one of the best just got even better.

Nintendo has officially announced the launch of the first-ever Animal Crossing x Crocs collaboration, and everything is now available for purchase. While it might not be the Switch 2 Animal Crossing game we are all waiting for after rumors/leaks went live, these Animal Crossing Crocs clogs and Jibbitz seem like a perfect way to bring your island to life. 

A new report has surfaced claiming Nintendo will indeed host the next Nintendo Direct in the coming weeks. The Switch 2 has officially launched and has taken over the charts, and still we have not gotten a proper, full-on Nintendo Direct showcase since. But it looks like that’s about to change, and very soon now. 

The new Qi2.2 wireless charging standard is beginning to emerge and one of the first major brands out of the gate with a proper 3-in-1 MagSafe stand is Belkin. The UltraCharge lineup contents of three new models, all of which sporting the new Qi2.2 standard that supports 25W power pass through to your devices via the magnetic charging pad ahead of the iPhone 17 launch. 

We are now tracking a deep discount on the SpaceX STARLINK Standard Kit Wi-Fi system down at $174.97 shipped courtesy of Walmart. You’re looking a a regularly $350 package at a straight 50% off the list price for the lowest price we can find. 

This better be real. Just after the new LEGO Game Boy went up for pre-order, and just ahead of its official release this fall, a new LEGO SEGA Genesis controller has surfaced online. There has been no official announcement as of yet, but imagery and details on a new LEGO Genesis gamepad have leaked online. 

The gamescom 2025 action rolls on today with hours (days) of Bethesda action. The Bethesda live streams will take place on Twitch and span throughout the day today and right through weekend. Rumor has it, after a “TBC” listing was spotted on its gamescom schedule recently, we might get a new game reveal as part of the event, and perhaps even the announcement of a new Fallout remake. 

Update 8/21: Pre-orders for the Kirby Air Riders are now live at $69 via Walmart – this is the lowest priced option – and over at Amazon.

Creator Masahiro Sakurai hosted a dedicated Kirby Air Riders Nintendo Direct today to give us our very first look at gameplay from the upcoming Switch 2 title, and that he very much did. We got a lengthy look at just about every aspect of the experience, from the rider roster and a good look at the courses, the City Trial mode, riding machine details, and a whole a lot more. But we also got the official release date. 

The new Google have arrived and with them comes the usual influx of new cases and accessories. You won’t be able to use your old Pixel 9 case, so you might be on the hunt for a new one and if you’re not going to go with the showstopper Arc Pulse metal bumper case, perhaps something from Spigen’s ultra-affordable lineup will do the case. With pricing starting from $17 and bonus discounts applied at checkout on just about every model, the new Pixelsnap-ready magnetic Spigen Pixel 10 cases have arrived. 

Well, it finally happened. After seven long years of waiting and getting drip fed tiny bits of info, imagery, and a demo years ago now, Team Cherry hosted a special announcement on YouTube this morning that finally gave us what we have (all) been waiting for – the Hollow Knight Silksong release date! 

Just before Hollow Knight Silksong takes center stage later this morning for a special announcement of its own, the Xbox gamescom livestream broadcast will kick into gear for day 2 of the world’s biggest gaming show. Yesterday’s livestream was loaded with game reveals, updates on upcoming titles, and we even got the official release date for the upcoming Xbox ROG Ally and ROG Ally X handhelds. 

Update 8/21: Chibi-Robo is now playable as part of the Switch 2 GameCube library.

Nintendo has now officially announced the next expansion for the Switch 2 GameCube library. The latest classic game library for Nintendo Switch Online members and Switch 2 owners launched alongside the next-gen console with three titles before Nintendo brought the classic Super Mario Strikers in late June, and now it is readying a fifth title. 

Update: Hollow Knight Silksong officially releases on September 4, 2025.

After being confirmed as an official sequel way back in 2019, with development starting before that to some degree, it’s been a very long wait for Hollow Knight: Silksong. After years of no-shows at gaming events and showcases, and becoming one of most wishlisted titles on Steam ever, it looks as though Team Cherry is finally ready to break the silence in a major way and finally give us the good news.
