Amazon Prime Day 2025: The best early deals to shop now, dates and everything else you need to know

<p><a href="https://www.engadget.com/amazon-prime-day/">Amazon Prime Day 2025</a> will be here soon on July 8-11, but as to be expected, you can already find some decent sales available now. Amazon always has lead-up sales in the days and weeks before Prime Day, and it’s wise to shop early if you’re on the hunt for something specific and you see that item at a good discount. Prime Day deals are typically reserved for subscribers, but there are always a few that anyone can shop. We expect this year to be no exception, and we’re already starting to see that trend in these early Prime Day deals. These are the best Prime Day deals you can get right now ahead of the event, and we’ll update this post with the latest offers as we get closer to the official days of Prime Day.</p> <h2 id="jump-link-prime-day-deals-under-50">Prime Day deals under $50</h2> <p> </p> <p><a class="rapid-with-clickid" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;contentUuid=bec9da9e-a685-4b78-b532-f9061aa7a3a3&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;linkText=Audible+Premium+Plus+%28three+months%29+for+%243+%28%2442+off%29%3A&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL0F1ZGlibGUtQm9va3MtYW5kLU9yaWdpbmFscy9iP25vZGU9MTgxNDUyODkwMTEmdGFnPWdkZ3QwYy0yMCIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiYmVjOWRhOWUtYTY4NS00Yjc4LWI1MzItZjkwNjFhYTdhM2EzIiwib3JpZ2luYWxVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL0F1ZGlibGUtQm9va3MtYW5kLU9yaWdpbmFscy9iP25vZGU9MTgxNDUyODkwMTEiLCJkeW5hbWljQ2VudHJhbFRyYWNraW5nSWQiOnRydWUsInNpdGVJZCI6InVzLWVuZ2FkZ2V0IiwicGFnZUlkIjoiMXAtYXV0b2xpbmsiLCJmZWF0dXJlSWQiOiJ0ZXh0LWxpbmsifQ&amp;signature=AQAAASHSyb8G1SNdfqggYIUMMJgby0B5BcGgOaauFNcHvfgu&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FAudible-Books-and-Originals%2Fb%3Fnode%3D18145289011"><strong>Audible Premium Plus (three months) for $3 ($42 off):</strong></a> New subscribers can get three months of Audible for only $3, which represents a $42 discount.

Prime subscribers do not have to do anything additional to get Prime Day sales: the discounts you see on product pages will show up in your cart automatically.

While most Prime Day deals will be exclusively available to subscribers, there are always a handful of sales available to all shoppers. Amazon distinguishes between them very clearly: you'll see "Prime exclusive" on product pages near the deal pricing on the discounts that are only available to paying members.</p> <p>Separately, it’s very likely that other retailers like Walmart, Target and Best Buy will have their own competing Prime Day sales during that time frame, too. So if you're not keen on shopping at Amazon at all, it's worth checking out other retailers during the week of Prime Day to see if they are matching Prime Day deal prices.</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/deals/amazon-prime-day-2025-the-best-early-deals-to-shop-now-dates-and-everything-else-you-need-to-know-120028780.html?src=rss

The Project Hail Mary trailer looks like The Martian all over again (in a great way)

<p>Andy Weir's sci-fi books are practically built to be turned into movies, especially in the hands of great writers and directors. That's what happened with <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2015-10-09-the-martian-is-a-reminder-were-all-in-this-together.html"><em>The Martian</em></a>, which was a delightfully nerdy self-published novel that was transformed into a thrilling film adaptation — thanks to Drew Goddard's script and Ridley Scott's bold direction. And I have a feeling the same will be true for the latest Weir adaptation, <a href="https://www.engadget.com/ryan-gosling-and-millerlords-project-hail-mary-could-be-the-sci-fi-event-of-2026-174440164.html"><em>Project Hail Mary</em></a>, judging from the first trailer released today.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's got everything: Ryan Gosling being funny-yet-heroic, snappy dialog thanks to another Goddard script and directors Philip Lord and Chris Miller (<em>The Lego Movie, 21 Jump Street</em>) out to prove their genius yet again with another seemingly impossible adaptation. What more could you ask for in a space epic?</p> <span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><div id="cb5a37da5564482db961a403a8b90208"><div style="width: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"></div></div> <p>On the surface, <em>Project Hail Mary</em> bares a resemblance to Danny Boyle's under-loved <em>Sunshine</em>: Stars are dying, and humanity is scrambling for a way to save itself. But in this case, instead of a team of astronauts, Ryan Gosling's school teacher Ryland Grace is our only savior. Bad news for us: he's just getting up from years in a coma, and is also suffering from amnesia. The trailer makes it clear this will be an intergalactic adventure with plenty of surprises (and at least one plot element that wasn't in <em>The Martian</em>).</p> <p></p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/tv-movies/the-project-hail-mary-trailer-looks-like-the-martian-all-over-again-in-a-great-way-142119896.html?src=rss

The 360-degree filtration system is said to be capable of capturing over 99.9 percent of pollutants as small as 0.3 microns, such as dust, pet dander and pollen.</p> <p>There is an auto mode that should suffice for maintaining air quality, but the Core 400S is compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant voice controls too. The fan isn't too loud, even when it's operating at maximum speed — the volume topped out at 62dB in our testing. Meanwhile, at $50 each, the air filter replacements aren't too expensive compared with those from many of Levoit's competitors.</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/deals/prime-day-deals-include-37-off-our-favorite-levoit-air-purifier-143224176.html?src=rss

With the Prime Day price drop, the vacuum and mop combo is cheaper than the vacuum-only model, but it does double the work. The combo Roomba can even be set to only vacuum if you prefer to mop yourself, but you'd be missing out on the four-stage cleaning system that vacuums and mops in the same pass.</p> <span id="end-legacy-contents"></span> <p> </p> <p></p> <p>Since it's a Roomba, it's a straightforward setup process that takes a few minutes before you can set it and forget it. The robot vacuum can navigate through your house or apartment, avoiding furniture and stairs, thanks to onboard sensors. Once it drains through its battery, which can last up to 120 hours, the Roomba knows to return to its charging dock to recharge itself. You can even customize this combo Roomba with three levels of both suction power for vacuuming and water levels for mopping. For more control, you can program it to spot clean a single spot in your home or schedule cleaning times through the companion iRobot Home app.</p> <p>A number of other <a class="rapid-with-clickid" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;contentUuid=558b5187-94f7-4948-95fa-abe75751ae47&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;linkText=iRobot+machines&amp;custData=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&amp;signature=AQAAAagm1tRVtk8Afv6jlifKt2GXkTGE7vdHYj48hcb4fYTs&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fstores%2Fpage%2F7FE9A12A-454F-4760-AB69-F2E70C5447C8">iRobot machines</a> are on sale for Prime Day as well.

Moratorium on state AI laws set to pass, with some exemptions

<p>If there's one thing the AI industry needs it's <a href="https://www.engadget.com/ai/the-us-uk-eu-and-other-major-nations-have-signed-a-landmark-global-ai-treaty-232119489.html">more regulation</a>. Yet, soon individual US states might not have much say in what AI companies can and can't do thanks to Trump pleasing senators. That's right, an AI-friendly amendment to the president's tax legislation is on the road to approval — despite concerns that its <a href="https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/06/26/congress/parliamentarian-requests-cruz-rewrite-ai-moratorium-00427371">shoehorning is illegal</a>. The clause would prevent states from legislating the AI industry for five years,<em>&nbsp;</em><a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-30/key-senators-strike-deal-to-pause-state-ai-laws-for-five-years?embedded-checkout=true"><em>Bloomberg </em>reports</a>. Only states that cooperate will be allowed to access some of the $500 million of funding for AI infrastructure and the like included included in the bill.&nbsp;</p> <p>Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tennessee) cleared the way for it, agreeing to a deal on Sunday with Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) that would exempt her home state's Ensuring Likeness Voice and Image Security (ELVIS) Act. Signed in early 2024, the <a href="https://www.tn.gov/governor/news/2024/3/21/photos--gov--lee-signs-elvis-act-into-law.html">ELVIS Act</a> is meant to protect musicians from allowing AI to use their likeness and voice without permission.&nbsp;</p> <span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>As part of the new deal, Cruz reduced the ban from ten to five years — because five years of an unregulated AI industry surely won't cause any damage. A <a href="https://www.blackburn.senate.gov/services/files/178AE7B5-7583-415E-8CF3-475241C6E5F9">fresh draft</a> of the amendment, <a class="no-affiliate-link" href="https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/06/29/congress/blackburn-cruz-find-potential-truce-on-state-ai-moratorium-child-safety-00432296">obtained by <em>Politico</em>,</a> also includes exemptions for "a law or regulation pertaining to unfair or deceptive acts or practices, child online safety, child sexual abuse material, rights of publicity, protection of a person’s name, image, voice, or likeness and any necessary documentation for enforcement," as long as they don't place an "undue or disproportionate burden" on AI systems. An earlier version of the provision, that included the decade-long ban, <a href="https://www.engadget.com/big-tech/house-passes-budget-bill-that-inexplicably-bans-state-ai-regulations-for-ten-years-184936210.html">passed the House</a> in May.&nbsp;</p> <p>While Blackburn's decision will likely push it forward, Republican governors across the country have also voiced their disdain for the amendment. On Friday, <a href="https://www.rga.org/republican-governors-praise-one-big-beautiful-bill-urge-congress-allow-states-protect-citizens-misuse-artificial-intelligence/">17 governors sent a letter</a> asking for its removal (after sucking up about the rest of the tax bill, of course). They stated that it "threatens to undo all the work states have done to protect our citizens from the misuse of artificial intelligence."&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Correction, June 30, 2025, 8:51AM ET: </strong>The headline has been changed to reflect that the provision proposes a qualified pause rather than an outright ban on state level AI legislation.</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/ai/ban-on-state-ai-laws-set-to-pass-after-exemption-deals-struck-on-musicians-rights-and-child-safety-120039408.html?src=rss

Our favorite mesh Wi-Fi router drops to a record-low price for Prime Day

Canada caves to Trump and rescinds its digital service tax on big tech

<p>Canada has folded in its battle with US President Donald Trump over tariffs by cancelling its proposed digital services tax (DST) on big tech companies, the government <a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2025/06/canada-rescinds-digital-services-tax-to-advance-broader-trade-negotiations-with-the-united-states.html">announced</a>. On Friday, Trump <a href="https://www.engadget.com/big-tech/trump-ends-trade-talks-with-canada-over-a-digital-services-tax-192322721.html">ended trade talks</a> over the levy, which he called &quot;a direct and blatant attack on our country.&quot; However, discussions <a href="https://apnews.com/article/canada-us-carney-trump-tariffs-659ecca350888efe0ab00eaaa4ccbc26">have resumed</a> now that the DST is gone, according to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>The DST has been in effect since last year but Canada was due to collect the first payments totalling around $2 billion on June 30. However, those will now be halted. &quot;To support those negotiations, the Minister of Finance... announced today that Canada would rescind the Digital Services Tax (DST) in anticipation of a mutually beneficial comprehensive trade arrangement with the United States,&quot; the Department of Finance wrote yesterday.&nbsp;</p> <span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>With the DST, Canada <a href="https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/D-1.65/FullText.html">planned</a> to apply a three percent tax on content from large tech firms that relied on engagement from Canadian users. The justification was that 70 percent of ad revenue spending in the nation (an estimated $25 billion this year) goes toward US firms like Google and Meta, but those companies don't pay corporate taxes in Canada. Some of funds collected under the DST would have been funnelled to media companies hurt by Google and Meta's ad dominance.&nbsp;</p> <p>The levy was opposed by not only the US government under the Biden and Trump administrations, but businesses in Canada too. Local companies were concerned it would increase their costs after Google, for one, said it would increase ad rates by at least 2.5 percent in Canada to cover the cost of the DST.&nbsp;</p> <p>The capitulation is a large victory for Trump and a windfall for his tech company benefactors. However, Canada has been hammered by Trump's 25 percent tariffs to the tune of billions on metals, minerals and other goods, so Carney's government likely felt it necessary to sacrifice the DST.</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/big-tech/canada-caves-to-trump-and-rescinds-its-digital-service-tax-on-big-tech-120045575.html?src=rss
