Full disclosure: I am writing this before Amazon Prime Day. If the iPhone Air is not currently on sale in your region, then you should only pay its $999 / £999 / AU$1,799 asking price if a) you have a bottomless supply of cash or b) you simply must own Apple’s most beautiful iPhone (and make no mistake: the iPhone Air is Apple’s most beautiful iPhone).

But I will eat my hat if there aren't any meaningful deals on the iPhone Air by the time you read this. It's already been discounted by as much as 30% in both the UK and Australia this year, and as such, I have a hunch that Amazon will run similar deals during its annual Prime Day sale (if you’re in the US, look out for carrier-based offers on Apple’s best iPhones).

If you can snag the iPhone Air for around 20% less than its retail price this week, I’m utterly convinced that it’s the best-value phone purchase you could make right now — for two reasons.

Firstly, you will not find a nicer-looking — and nicer-feeling — phone than the iPhone Air without spending silly money on one of the best foldable phones. The Air measures just 5.64mm at its thinnest point and is some 41g lighter than the iPhone 17 Pro, despite boasting a larger 6.5-inch display.

You might not think you care about having a thin and light phone — I also didn’t to begin with — but trust me: once you start using a device of such svelte proportions, you won’t want to go back to a regular-sized phone.

Don’t believe me? Here’s a recent picture of me with a group of tech content creators showing off our current phones of choice:

All four of us test the best phones for a living, and all four of us settled on Apple's super slim iPhone as our personal handset of choice.

The second reason why a discounted iPhone Air is the best-value phone purchase you can make right now is less obvious. Not only is this Apple’s most beautiful iPhone, but it’s also its most powerful: like the iPhone 17 Pro, the Air boasts an A19 Pro chipset and 12GB of RAM.

Now, I don’t usually highlight chipsets as a reason to buy phones — the iPhone 17e’s A19 chipset, for instance, is plenty fast enough for most people — but the iPhone Air's A19 Pro chipset and 12GB of RAM combination has suddenly become more significant than most people realize.

Here's an extract from a recent article in which I explain why the iPhone Air is future-proofed in a way that only the iPhone 17 Pro can match:

At WWDC 2026, Apple announced its all-singing, all-dancing Siri AI assistant, which will soon be available on all Apple Intelligence-compatible iPhones (read: the iPhone 15 Pro and upwards) as part of iOS 27. But only three iPhones will get the very best version of Siri AI — and the iPhone Air is among that number.

Specifically, only the iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air will get Siri voice customization and more advanced systemwide dictation, because only these phones run on Apple’s AFM Core Advanced model and 12GB of RAM.

Admittedly, these two features aren’t reason enough to buy a top-end iPhone — the former gives you the ability to customize the expressiveness and pace of Siri’s voice, while the latter makes Siri more effective at converting speech into accurate text — but I would bet my (non-existent) house that Apple locks several additional, more significant features behind this AFM Core Advanced paywall in future versions of iOS.

In other words, like the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, the iPhone Air will soon support more software features than any other iPhone — and the gap between model capabilities will only grow wider as more hardware-exclusive features are announced.

I genuinely believe this under-the-radar feature makes the iPhone Air almost worth its regular $999 / £999 / AU$1,799 asking price, but if you can pick it up for significantly cheaper than that during Prime Day, it’s a bona fide bargain.

It’s the end of November, and that means it’s time to scour the internet for the best Black Friday deals.

Fortunately, if you’re reading this, you already know that TechRadar is one of the best places online to find a discount; we have journalists all over the world looking for the best ways to save you money.

However, as TechRadar’s AI Senior Writer, I spend a lot of my time testing the newest innovations in the world of artificial intelligence, and this week, OpenAI launched a new upgrade to ChatGPT just in time for the biggest shopping event of the year.

ChatGPT shopping research is a new tool that uses AI to take out the work of doing your own deal hunting, and I gave it a try to see how it compares to a human-curated buying guide.

Hey ChatGPT, find me the best AirPods deals

Yesterday, I wrote about the best AirPods Black Friday deals currently available, so I had AirPods Pro 2 discounts on my mind this morning when I went to test out ChatGPT shopping research.

I decided to enable shopping research (simply click the + button in ChatGPT to select it) and ask a fairly vague, yet easily solvable shopping prompt: “AirPods Black Friday deals.”

ChatGPT started to think, and then asked me a few questions based on my needs, such as what my price range was and which models I was interested in. Then, the AI showed me multiple products in a card-style UI where I could say if I was interested, and if not, why I wasn’t.

Within two minutes, ChatGPT's shopping research provided me with a full shopping guide for AirPods and included the two main discounted deals in the UK at the time of writing. It was pretty impressive, I can’t lie.

Then again, that was an easy test – would it be able to handle a more complicated challenge?

How about something more vague?

Often, when you’re looking for a Black Friday deal, you look for guidance on what the best product and the best discount are. So to test this, I asked ChatGPT shopping research to “Find me a good Black Friday deal on an air fryer for the kitchen.”

Could ChatGPT compete with the excellent information I could find in TechRadar’s best Black Friday air fryer deals article? I pointed ChatGPT in the direction of a dual-chamber air fryer, preferably made by Ninja, because I could see that there were plenty of deals on these already available in the sales.

This time, ChatGPT shopping research took seven minutes to recommend me a product, and while it found one of the best deals on offer at the moment in the UK, it only gave me two options. On TechRadar's human-curated page, meanwhile, we have seven for the UK and the same number for the US.

The experience using ChatGPT shopping research was pretty pleasant; in fact, I quite enjoyed leaving AI to its own devices while I went about my workday. That said, I can’t properly recommend this new AI tool yet, and it’s for the same reason that I don’t think anyone can truly complete tasks using the other research offerings on the market either – namely reliability.

99% isn’t good enough

When you look at TechRadar for a deal this Black Friday, you can be sure that the price has been verified and that the author has done their due diligence to be certain that you won’t find a better price.

With ChatGPT research tools, whether that’s this particular shopping one or deep research, you can never be 100% certain that it isn’t hallucinating in some form along its thought process. And, considering it can make things up, misunderstand situations, and maybe even overlook retailers, you can never know if the deal it’s pointing you towards is actually the best.

ChatGPT shopping research is really well done if you need extra help with making a purchasing decision, but it doesn’t replace the hours and hours spent by humans to update deals posts in real time to ensure you can save the most money possible, or even if a discount isn’t involved, point you towards making a purchase you won’t regret.

After testing out ChatGPT shopping research, I’ve found a newfound appreciation for the work my colleagues and I put in during seasonal sales like Black Friday – whether that’s researching products to ensure they offer the best bang for buck, or scouring the web to check price history. Journalists all around the world, not just on this site, work hard over the holiday period so you don’t have to.

I’ll continue to use shopping research for information and quick product comparisons, but it still requires human research, whether that’s done independently or by using a website with professionals.

At the end of the day, AI is just another resource to help you to save that little bit of cash at this time of the year, and using it alongside other platforms won’t hurt. Just don’t treat ChatGPT shopping research as gospel, or you might end up losing cash, rather than saving it.

iPads are among the most popular products in any year's slate of Black Friday Apple deals, but even with discounts applied, the best iPads are expensive bits of kit.

That said, I’ve been covering Black Friday sales for years now, and I’ve noticed a significant iPad-related sea change this year: refurbished tech products – and in particular, refurbished iPads – are even more discounted than usual.

Refurbished gadgets aren’t new, with some major and specialist retailers having built up a reputation for sprucing up pre-loved tech. But I’ve never seen so many early Black Friday deals appear for iPads, specifically, which means there’s scope for you to save loads of money if you know what to look for.

In fact, I bought a refurbished iPad several years ago, so I can guide you through what to know about the tech and what to expect from these deals.

What does 'refurbished' even mean?

Refurbished tech is gadgetery that's been professionally serviced; experts will make sure it works to a high standard, sometimes conducting tests or replacing parts, though the exact process varies from retailer to retailer. It's not the same as pre-owned tech, which will often be sold without these (or any other) assurances.

I bought my refurbished iPad for one key reason: it was cheaper than buying a brand-new model. I bought it from Apple's own refurb store, so I could trust that it'd be up to a high standard – and it was. If you gave me a new iPad alongside an Apple-refurbished model, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Even the packaging was very similar, subconsciously telling me, "this isn't some cheap leftover, but a fully-functioning tablet."

There are other reasons that people opt to buy refurbished, the primary one being the environmental aspect. There's no denying that we're in an e-waste crisis, with the World Health Organization citing electronic products as one of the fastest-growing solid waste streams. And by keeping a gadget in circulation, you save it from going to landfill and also avoid more rare earth materials being used for the new device you'd be buying instead.

Those are the big-ticket reasons for buying refurbished, but I'm going to list you two more that are just as relevant for some people. Firstly, buying refurbished gives you a way of getting older gadgets that a manufacturer has stopped selling. If you want to get a past-generation iPad, for instance, Apple and major retailers might not have any, but refurbs come to the rescue.

Secondly, and perhaps more anecdotally, I see amazing deals around refurbished gadgets. While 10% off an iPad is often seen as a great discount during Black Friday, I'm used to seeing much bigger reductions on refurbished models (and that's a discount over the already-cheaper price).

Three years of iPad

I've had my refurb for three years now; it was a 12.9-inch iPad Pro (2021), so when I bought it in late 2022, it wasn't from the newest range. I didn't mind it being older, since I'd been happily using one of TechRadar's 2018 models for years with no problems, but the 2022 model was also too recent to have any refurb stock.

Honestly, I've never looked back. Three years on, the battery still lasts as well as it ever did (admittedly, that's not saying much, given how poor iPad battery lives are), which is the main worry I had when buying refurbished. I've never had any issues with it, and I use it almost every day for various tasks (well, apart from abandoning it recently for an ereader).

In fact, it's fared a lot better than the peripherals I bought alongside it, as the new Apple Pencil I picked up at the same time broke a year ago. I've already documented my attempt to find a cheap knock-off iPad stylus, though I've just noticed that Apple and Back Market sell refurbished styli too.

I'm also glad I bought an iPad when I did: newer Pro models are stuffed full of specs I don't need (why do I need an M5 chip on a device I'm using for drawing and typing?), and I can bypass Apple's insistence on useless AI features by simply not updating my iPad.

The new wave of refurb

This isn't the first time I've written about this refurb purchase for TechRadar, having waxed lyrical about it a few years ago to encourage people to follow in my footsteps. But I've noticed changes in the refurb market since then.

When I first started writing about refurbished tech and bought my iPad, you really had to hunt down retailers. Back Market was the only major one I knew about, but it hadn't started promoting itself as insistently as it does now (which was arguably a good thing; I'm plagued by its low-effort YouTube ads).

Apple's own refurbished line is something I only heard about from a friend, and I'd have never thought to buy from the company if it wasn't for that mention. Back then, major retailers didn't stock refurbished gadgets, and it was something of a fringe topic, even for someone writing for a tech website!

Nowadays, it's very easy to go onto your chosen shop's website and find pre-loved devices listed alongside new ones. I was surprised, covering early Black Friday deals this year, by just how many I was finding on refurbished tech. It's not just iPads and smartphones now; I've been very tempted to buy one of the many Black Friday PS5 deals, and you can also find laptops, earbuds, home hubs, and even printers.

And that's a good thing all around: cheaper tech, greener purchasing.

Where to find great refurbished deals

Like I said, I've seen quite a few good refurbished deals so far already, and more will come and go as Black Friday gets closer. They don't always last long; refurbs naturally have lower stock than new models.

So, instead of listing specific deals, I'm going to share a few places you should go to look for refurbished tech. I'll list the perks of buying from their respective refurbished programs, too, which is often important.

• Back Market: 1-year warranty, guarantees, and a quality charter on how it grades tech
• Apple: 1-year guarantee, 90-day AppleCare, and replacement Apple parts
• Amazon: inspected, tested, and 1-year guarantee
• Walmart: inspected, tested, cleaned, and 90-day guarantee

As someone who's covered the annual Black Friday sales for over five years, I'm no stranger to recommending a deal or two. In fact, I've recommended thousands of products over the years.

So, you can imagine my curiosity with the stratospheric rise of ChatGPT and other LLMs recently. People use ChatGPT for everything from simple shopping lists to holiday planning, so why couldn't you use it for Black Friday shopping? A tool that can both search the internet for deals, reviews, and buying guides at the same time sounds like the perfect Black Friday shopping assistant.

As an expert, however, I will admit I have reservations. For one, when I first tinkered with the tool in its infancy, I found it provided out-of-date suggestions. It was great at summarizing reviews and buying advice, but it was pretty useless at actually pointing you at deals you could buy right now. That makes perfect sense when you consider how these tools scrape and parse data.

LLMs have evolved significantly in the past year, however. New agentic features and much-improved search results have made them much more useful for research-based tasks like shopping. With peak Black Friday sales season upon us, I thought it was the perfect time to revisit the topic with another round of tests to see if ChatGPT could actually save our readers some cash with good deal suggestions.

Case study one: laptops

For my first test, I settled on laptop deals as a case study. Not only is this an area that I personally cover here on TechRadar, but we review laptops all year round so we've got an excellent grasp on the market.

Things like operating system, brand, and configurations are all key considerations that I look for when recommending a laptop, so I was keen to see what kind of information ChatGPT would provide. I'm pretty technically-minded, but I decided to keep it simple and vague for my first query - essentially, role-playing as a complete newbie.

I opened with: "I need a new laptop for working from home, can you recommend some early Black Friday deals?".

• Asus Zenbook 14: was $1,299.99 $899.99 at Best Buy
• Dell 16 Plus: was $1,299.99 now $849.99 at Dell
• HP OmniBook X Flip: was $1,099 now $679.99 at Best Buy

So far, so good. ChatGPT immediately recommended three decent laptops with Black Friday discounts at the relevant retailers. We've had hands-on time with all three of these models here at TechRadar, and they'd all do the job admirably.

ChatGPT also summarized some fantastic buying advice a little further down the page, including a basic overview of how much RAM and storage you may need. If you're a complete laptop beginner, then this would be a fantastic place to start your research.

When I looked at my initial results, however, I couldn't help but think - these suggestions are a little pricey - and, they also don't include any suggestions for MacBooks. It felt like part of the picture was missing here, so I followed up with a prompt to include some budget options.

• Asus Aspire Go 15: was $629.99 now $499.99 at B&H Photo
• HP Chromebook 14: was $329 now $119 at Best Buy
• Asus CX15 Chromebook: was $219 now $139 at Walmart

Another three solid options from ChatGPT, although perhaps a little too cheap. It really took the prompt and ran with it here by suggesting some sub-$200 ChromeBooks. If I were recommending a basic machine for working from home, I'd probably go for something a little more powerful than these. I'd also recommend a Windows 11 machine for greater app support; something you'd likely require for a flexible working-from-home setup.

The Asus Aspire Go 15 is a fine choice, but I wouldn't take it over something like the Dell 15 laptop at the official Dell Store for $299 (was $449), which is my favorite "super cheap" Windows laptop right now. I'd also highly recommend the Dell 14 Plus for $749 (was $1,099) at the official Dell Store and the Apple MacBook Air M4 for $749 (was $999) at Amazon. You can check out these deals in more detail here:

I would say, arguably, that all three of these deals offer better bang for the buck than the options returned by my initial ChatGPT experiments. I ran the queries a few times, and in every case, found better options by cross-checking both editorial sites and major retailers like Dell, Best Buy, and Amazon.

That's not to say that ChatGPT isn't a fantastic springboard for ideas, however, and the buying advice it returned was definitely solid.

Case study two: phones

Phone deals are another area of expertise for me, and they can be tricky to recommend, too. There are a lot of various hoops, T&Cs, and caveats with the best phone deals. They usually require a super-pricey unlimited plan or a trade-in to be eligible for a discount.

The thing that I'm really looking for with ChatGPT's phone buying advice is not just the biggest savings, but also contextual information around how much these potential Black Friday deals could cost with the attached plans, and the various eligibility criteria.

For my opening query, again, I choose to keep it relatively simple and straightforward: "Can you recommend some good early Black Friday iPhone deals in the US?". Here's what it returned:

My top three suggested deals were, to be frank, a little weird. The iPhone 16e deal at Walmart is quite good, but it fails to mention that it's tied to the prepaid carrier StraightTalk. All the other suggestions are either similar prepaid deals at Walmart or deals on refurbished devices. Refurbished iPhones can be good value, but it's a strange thing to recommend without any specific prompting. Things got a little better further down the page, however.

Now, these are the types of iPhone deals that tend to be genuinely popular over Black Friday; namely big carrier promotions. ChatGPT did a pretty good job here of summarizing what could be available at AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and smaller carriers, too.

If I had to critique the selection of deals, however, I'd say that they are pretty out of date. ChatGPT states that these are early Black Friday iPhone deals, but they're actually promotions from a few weeks ago, before the major carriers updated their sites with new seasonal offerings. For reference, here are a few iPhone deals from my Black Friday iPhone deals page.

You can see there's a slight difference in the criteria with these promotions. Yes, they are similar, but in both cases the carrier is offering a little bit more with this week's deals. For example, T-Mobile has waived the trade-in eligibility for the free iPhone 17, whereas Verizon is throwing in a free iPad and Apple Watch; two excellent freebies that you'd definitely want mentioned if you were looking to upgrade.

So, can ChatGPT save you cash?

Well, yes, it might, but, as always, you'll want to cross-check its results with other sources. It's another tool in the shopper's back pocket, but you'll still want to look at multiple retailers, news sites, and so on, before you lay down some cash.

Initially, I was impressed with the results that the tool was returning. It seemed to list the various sources for more information, prices were up-to-date, and it referenced models from well-known brands. After a bit of digging, however, I did come to the conclusion that there were better deals elsewhere.

For one, while ChatGPT is fantastic at summarizing various reviews, buying guides, and roundups, its recommendations tend to be pretty generic. It also tends to lack the immediacy of a freshly published page from a news site. Again, you need to double-check to make sure the prices and information are up-to-date. To be fair, that's a criticism that I'd level at news sites too (in fact, the deals on this page may be out of date by the time you read it).

The contextual advice you get with your deal suggestions on ChatGPT is also superb. Prompting the tool for further bespoke suggestions is one key advantage over traditional editorial sites, for sure. If I were spending my own cash, I'd just make sure to reference both the LLM, recent news, and expert reviews on TechRadar (and other sites, too).

Black Friday is fast approaching, and if you were considering using the annual sales event to pick up a cut-price robot vacuum, one brand that might be on your radar is Roomba. This was the original robovac (or at least, the first commercially viable, consumer grade model) and has graced TechRadar's best robot vacuum ranking ever since it changed the floor-cleaning game all those years ago. (Until recently, at least – more on that in a second.)

What might not be on your radar is that Roomba's parent brand iRobot is in the middle of some serious financial difficulties – so much so that it's looking increasingly like the Roomba's days are numbered. If the brand is unable to secure emergency funding or a buyer, it could go bankrupt in a matter of weeks. So, should you still consider buying a Roomba this Black Friday? I probably wouldn't recommend it.

Even though iRobot isn't out of action yet, it's looking like it's going to go that way. If you were to buy one now, you'd be taking a risk in terms of aftercare if anything went wrong down the line, and you needed customer support or even a replacement.

More than that, though, I probably wouldn't recommend one of the current wave of Roomba bots in the first place. iRobot's robot vacuums were once top of the pack, but in recent years, the brand has struggled to keep up with the competition.

In March 2025, the brand culled and completely replaced its existing range, and while the new lineup looked promising, responses have been mixed at best. My reviewer called the iRobot Roomba 205 DustCompactor a "crushing disappointment" due to unreliable mapping and navigation, and noisy operation.

While I suspect there will be plenty of iRobot Roomba deals floating around in this year's Black Friday sales, I'm sorry to say I personally wouldn't buy one, no matter how great-value it looked.

What robovac brands should I look at instead?

My favorite robot vacuum brands are Roborock and Dreame. If you have a bigger budget, both have superb high-end bots in their range – the Roborock Qrevo Curv is my top recommendation right now, and the Dreame X50 Ultra Complete picked up TechRadar's Robot Vacuum of the Year award for 2025.

Alternatively, both offer strong budget-friendly options. The Dreame D9 Max Gen 2 and Roborock Q7 M5 are both simple but effective, and among the best cheap robot vacuums I've come across.

The robot vacuum market is fairly saturated, and I'm anticipating plenty of discounts across the board from both brands, on Black Friday and in the weeks leading up to it.

What's happening with iRobot?

The most recent development in the iRobot story is a US Securities and Exchange Commission filing that states that the brand's "financial condition continues to decline" and if it is not granted a loan waiver extension, it "may be unable to secure the additional funding needed to continue [its] operations."

iRobot has been struggling for some time, and a potential brand-saving proposed Amazon acquisition bit the dust in 2024 due to push-back from EU market regulators. As a result, the brand significantly streamlined its operations, and in March 2025, it discarded its current range and unveiled a completely new lineup. Unfortunately, it proved not to be the saving grace the brand must have been hoping for, garnering very lukewarm reviews. At the time of writing, the brand's future is looking increasingly uncertain.

If you're interested in iRobot's meandering brand journey, TechRadar's Editor at Large Lance Ulanoff goes into more depth about the brand's history in this article – it's well worth a read.

Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale is officially coming, and it's the biggest one ever! Running for a full seven days from October 7 to October 13, it beats the six-day sale we saw last year, and matches the week-long Prime Day we enjoyed in July. It kicks off the massive end-of-year shopping season, which culminates in Black Friday and then Christmas.

Our colleagues in the United States are calling it a 'mini Prime Day sale', but that's because the American sale is only 48 hours long. Acting as a true second Prime Day in Singapore and Down Under, there's nothing 'mini' about the deals we'll be seeing.

Similar to the first event in July, the discounts during Big Deal Days are exclusive to Prime members – including limited-time 'lightning' deals. Luckily, with the deals ending on October 13, you can take advantage of Amazon's 30-day free trial of Prime now to gain access. And, if you find the service isn't quite right for you, you can cancel at any time within your 30-day window to avoid the subscription cost.

Note, Amazon Australia’s Prime membership is only available to customers with an Australian billing address, though delivery can be made to New Zealand.

What to expect from Prime Big Deal Days

Positioned perfectly between the mid-year and Black Friday sales, Prime Big Deal Days is the first major opportunity for shoppers to get a head start on holiday shopping.

While you might be tempted to wait until November, Amazon has already confirmed deals from top brands like Lego and Samsung, as well as Amazon devices like Ring security cameras, Fire TV Sticks and Kindle ereaders. And, if it's anything like last year's sale, we expect the seven-day event to cover thousands of products, from tech and homewares to everyday essentials.

Considering the sheer number of the best Amazon deals we see each week, a dedicated event that promises to improve its usual offering to Prime members is exciting in its own right. To help get an idea of what to expect in October, here are some of our favourite deals we saw in Australia during July's Prime Day sale.

Amazon Prime Day 2025 is coming in fast, five days to be exact. The member’s only shopping event kicks off on July 8, 2025, and for the first time ever will last for four days, and will likely bring with it thousands of deals across nearly every category on the site, including plenty of gadgets.

• Shop Amazon's full early sale

Now, as the name suggests, you’ll need to be a Prime member to take part and access the deals, but also get a host of other benefits like free, fast shipping on plenty of items. And Amazon is rolling out a pretty epic deal in a refresh of one of its Prime membership tiers. Prime for Young Adults has been updated, and it’s probably the most attractive offer leading into Prime in terms of subscription options.

It’s available if you fall between the age of 18 to 24 or are a student and is priced at a 50% discount compared to the standard Prime membership at just $7.49 a month or $69 for a whole year, but right now those eligible for the offer can get six months of Prime for Young Adults for free. You’ll either verify your eligibility with a government-issued ID or a .edu email address.

Beyond the fact that it will unlock Prime Day 2025 deals for you, it comes with a host of Prime membership perks. Yes, it’s the free, fast shipping, but it’s also access to Prime Video to stream TV shows and movies on one of the best streaming services, but also access to Amazon Music and Prime Gaming. You can also get GrubHub+ for free for delivery from participating restaurants in your area.

But there’s a hidden bonus of sorts, and that’s cash back on eligible purchases in select categories all year round. Those will stand as an annual perk, but for Prime Day 2025, Amazon is doubling it to 10% cash back on products within electronics, apparel, and beauty categories, among others. It’s not unlimited, though, as it’s capped at $500 per year; however, it’s an excellent perk that can help make a standard Prime Day discount even better.

Prime for Young Adults is a pretty stellar deal right now, especially if you meet the requirements to sign up, as you’ll get six months for free and unlock a whole host of perks. Now, if you’re like me and a bit jealous that you’re out of the age range, you can still sign up for Prime to unlock deals next week and score some perks; it just doesn’t have a six-month free trial, only 30-days.

And if you can’t wait until next week, check out the best 4th of July and early Prime Day deals here.

As TechRadar's deals editor, I've been scanning through all of this weekend's best sales, which you can see just below. Whether you're upgrading your kitchen or refreshing your backyard, there are plenty of savings to take advantage of without waiting for the big day.

Amazon, for instance, has announced that Prime Day will run from July 8 to 11, but early offers are already live. Prime members can grab exclusive perks like extended free trials for Audible, Kindle Unlimited, and Music Unlimited, while non-members can sign up for a free 30-day trial to unlock the same benefits. Over at Samsung, shoppers will find major discounts on appliances, TVs, and early sign-up bonuses for its upcoming foldable smartphones.

Meanwhile, tech fans can find some of the best laptop deals of the season at HP and Dell. HP is offering up to 50% off select models, plus extra savings with sitewide promo codes, while Dell has a 'Summer sale' with deep discounts on everything from budget laptops to high-end gaming PCs. If you’re shopping early this week, there’s no shortage of excellent 4th of July sales to explore.

Today's best early 4th of July sales

• Amazon: early Prime Day deals on devices, TVs, more
• Best Buy: 50% off major appliances, plus coupons

Today's best deals

Amazon Singapore has already given us a number of same-day sales events this year, but now it's time to get ready for the big one. Yep, Amazon SG has confirmed its annual Prime Day event is returning on Tuesday, July 8 at 00:01am SGT and, for the first time ever, it will run for an entire week, ending on Monday, July 14.

The most recent Prime Day event, known as Prime Big Deal Days, ran for six days in October 2024. We expected more of the same this year, so it was quite the shock to hear that this year's event will run for an extra day.

Clearly Amazon is in the giving spirit. And, as we also look ahead to Black Friday and (even further to Christmas) this sale provides shoppers in Singapore a greater chance to score big savings on the best headphones and best vacuum cleaners, among other categories that will likely include cameras, tablets, PC and gaming.

As with any Amazon Prime sale, the biggest savings will be reserved for Amazon Prime members. If you've still not yet signed up for a membership, you can grab yourself a free 30-day trial from today and be covered for the duration of the six days in October. If you aren't too keen on paying up for the following month, you can always cancel any time – no questions asked.

As ever, the TechRadar team will be all hands on deck come Tuesday, July 8, picking out the best Prime Day deals in Singapore throughout the duration of the next big Amazon sale, saving you time from trawling through the countless pages.

• Lego has set up Botanical Gardens in NYC, Atlanta, and Nashville this weekend.
• It's your chance to see the latest flower sets being added to the Lego Botanical theme.
• The Mini Orchid, Lucky Bamboo, and Flower Arrangement stole the show.

Alongside impressive ships from Star Wars and a highly-detailed replica of the Endurance ship, some of the most popular sets in recent history from The Lego Group have been from the Botanical theme, specifically flower offerings.

And alongside the latest sets in the line, like a Mini Orchid and a Flower Arrangement, Lego is celebrating its latest drop – not with a drone show, like it did for its space theme – but with pop-up Botanical Gardens in New York City, Atlanta, and Nashville. These are free to the public for this weekend, and you can score some freebies if you’re a Lego Insider – a free reward program – and check out the latest sets in real life.

I got the chance to head over to the New York City location to get a feel for the pop-up and to see the latest and greatest from the Lego Botanical lineup. Now I’m sharing my three favorites from the collection and where you can get them cause we all deserve a little treat as the first month of 2025 comes to a close. And with gift-giving moments on the horizon already, the Lego flower sets are some of the most-wanted.

Standing over 11 inches tall after you build the 325 pieces, Lucky Bamboo has to be my favorite addition to the Botanical lineup. It not only looks great but is ready to be displayed as you’ll build the small pot and stand complete with little Lego pebbles. You’ll end up with three bamboo stems at various heights in what will likely be a relaxing build.

The Lego Lucky Bamboo set is available now from Lego or Amazon for $29.99.

So new that it’s still up for preorder only is the Flower Arrangement, which is a set that goes a bit further than some of the previous bouquets that have been released. With this, you’ll build a range of flowers, including ranunculus, lilies, hydrangea, and peonies, among many others of varying sizes, but also a white vase that you’ll construct out of Lego bricks. This one could easily sit on a kitchen counter, a dining table, a nightstand, or even on a shelf.

Depending on which route in the building manual you choose, you can create one of two designs and add other Lego flowers to the vase. This is pretty neat and infinitely customizable. This set, which includes 1,161 pieces, is available for preorder at Lego for $109.99.

The full-sized Lego Orchid set is one of the originals and most popular – it’s actually been purchased over 10,000 times on Amazon this month – and now there is a miniature version that strikes its own chord. At just 274 pieces, it stands at over 10 inches with plenty of pedals, and like all other Lego flower sets, it never needs to be watered.

More precisely, you’ll build five Orchid flowers, a few leaves, and the pot on a faux-wooden plinth. This would likely make a great gift and an epic desk or living space addition.

The Mini Orchid is available now from Lego or Amazon for $29.99. The full-size Lego Orchid is also discounted on Amazon to just $39.99 from $49.99.

While these three are my current favorites in the Botanicals lineup from Lego, a few other sets are also on display, including some of the original flower themes.

Additionally, another standout was seeing the forthcoming, up for pre-order now, Lego take on Van Gogh's classic Sunflowers painting. Constructed out of 2,615 pieces, the Lego Vincent van Gogh – Sunflowers adds another dimension to the classic painting as you'll build the flowers so that they protrude from the art itself. It's stunning in person and looks well worth the $199.99 price.

If you're sold, Lego is taking preorders now, and the set will ship from March 1, 2025.

• The Apple Store Shopping Event's gift voucher deals end today
• You can get gift cards up to $200 / £160 in value on certain products
• The Cyber Monday retailer deals mostly offer better value

The Apple Store Shopping Event, which are the tech giant's answer to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, officially end today (December 2) – so we've rounded up the full list of gift cards on offer, plus the best Cyber Monday deals that beat them.

Apple's shopping event has been almost identical to last year, which means gift cards rather than discounts on most of its current products – apart from recently-announced ones like the iPhone 16. And it's scheduled to end by midnight on December 2, so it's worth checking out if you're buying a gift for someone (or yourself).

For one thing, going with Apple makes trading in your old devices much easier, since you can grab a discount on a new device and offload your old one in a single transaction, instead of having to sell your vintage tech separately.

But on the other, most of Apple's gift card offers can be beaten by deals that are still on offer from retailers. For example, while Apple is offering money off some of its best iPads, you’ll find much better Cyber Monday iPad deals if you look further afield. Likewise, Apple has discounted the AirPods Pro 2, yet Walmart in the US is offering a much more attractive bargain.

To make your Apple-related decision easier, we’ve rounded up all of Apple’s price cuts here – alongside all the best deals that can save you even more money...

Apple Store Shopping Event deals

We’ve included all of Apple’s gift card discounts in the table below, with deals for both the US and UK listed separately.

Don’t expect to find all of the latest Apple products, though – the iPhone 16 range is entirely absent, as are all of the best MacBook Pros. Other key Apple devices are nowhere to be found, from the M4 Mac mini and Apple Watch Series 10 to the iPad mini 7. Presumably, it’s because all of these products are still pretty fresh.

Some of Apple’s accessories have received notable discounts, including the Apple Pencil Pro and the Beats Pill, which have seen their prices cut for the first time in an Apple shopping event. But if these deals aren’t doing it for you, scroll down to see all the best bargains we’ve found at third-party retailers.

• Like clockwork, Apple's confirmed it's Black Friday Shopping event
• Starting November 29, you can score a gift card up to $200 with select purchases
• You'll find actual cash discounts on Amazon, BestBuy, and Walmart

While countless retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and BestBuy have been serving up early Black Friday deals for what feels like weeks on all sorts of the latest kit – including Apple gadgets – the Cupertino-based giant has, like clockwork, unveiled its official 2024 Black Friday savings event.

Now, as we’ve come to expect, don’t expect a cash discount off the price, but when things kick off on November 29, 2024, you’ll be able to score a gift card with select purchases. So if you’ve been eyeing the latest iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, or AirPods and want to buy from Apple directly, waiting and scoring a gift card might make sense.

Of course, many, if not all, of the devices Apple will offer this for, and others are already seeing significant savings from other retailers. In many cases, those are the best deals. But if you go with the official Apple route, consider stacking in a device trade-in alongside the gift card offer, as it can sweeten the deal.

Ahead, we’re sharing what you can expect and the devices eligible for this gift card promotion. It’ll kick off on November 29, 2024, and run through December 2, 2024, in the United States, the UK, Australia, and many other countries. Plus, you can shop it online or in-store.

Like in 2023, Apple’s using a tiered system where you can unlock a $25 / £20 / AU$40, $50 / £40 / AU$80, $75 / £60 / AU$120, $100 / £80 / AU$160, or $200 / £160 / AU$320 Gift Card – and as you might suspect, you’ll need to spend more to get a bigger gift card.

While Apple hasn’t yet confirmed the full values for every eligible device, we have a general idea of your score based on category.

iPhone

If you get an iPhone SE, iPhone 14, or iPhone 15, you can score up to a $75 / £60 / AU$120 Apple Gift Card. The iPhone SE and iPhone 14 might likely mean a gift card of lesser value.

iPad

While not every iPad is expected to be eligible – namely the recently launched iPad mini A17 Pro, though it is discounted elsewhere – Apple promises up to $100 / £80 / AU$160 gift card by purchasing an iPad 10th Generation, iPad Air, or iPad Pro.

Mac

Similar to the iPad mini, the latest Macs will likely not be eligible for the gift card promotion. However, if you’re considering the M2 or M3 MacBook Air, with the recently upgraded now standard 16GB of RAM, you’ll get up to a $200 / £160 / AU$320 Gift Card. And yes, both the 13-inch M2 and M3 and the 15-inch M3 are listed as eligible.

Apple Watch

While you won’t find savings directly at the Apple Store for the Apple Watch Series 10 or Apple Watch Ultra 2, you’ll get a $50 / £40 / AU$80 gift card by purchasing an Apple Watch SE second-generation.

AirPods

Whether you get AirPods 4, AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation, AirPods Pro 2, or AirPods Max, you’ll get up to a $50 / £40 / AU$80 gift card.

TV & Home

While there is no gift card eligibility for the HomePod mini, Apple will offer up to a $75 / £60 / AU$120 gift with the Apple TV 4K or HomePod.

Beats

Nearly the entire Beats lineup is eligible to score up to a $50 / £40 / AU$80 gift card with Beats Pill, Beats Flex, Beats Fit Pro, Beats Studio Buds Plus, Beats Solo Buds, Beats Solo 4, and Beats Studio Pro on the list.

Accessories

No, you won’t find savings on iPhone 16 cases, but Apple will offer up to $25 / £20 / AU$40 with some accessories. The Apple Pencil Pro, Apple Pencil second-generation, Magic Keyboard, and Smart Folio for iPad Air, iPad Pro, and iPad tenth-generation cut.

No sooner had we recovered from the six-day deals mayhem of Amazon Prime Day in July, the online retail giant has confirmed its second Prime Day of 2024. Like last year, it will be called Prime Big Deal Days and will serve up deals galore. Unlike last year, though, it's going to run for another six full days in October, just like July's main event. 

Amazon had previously teased Prime Big Deal Days would return next month, but kept quiet on the official dates. Well, that's all changed, as Prime Big Deal Days 2024 will return on Tuesday, October 8 at 00:01am SGT and run all the way through to 11:59pm SGT on Sunday, October 13.

The previous Prime Big Deal Days held in October 2023 was just a two-day affair, and we expected very much the same this year (having been taken by surprise when Amazon announced the main July sale was being extended to six days). How wrong we were. Clearly, Amazon is in the giving spirit as we steam towards Black Friday and Christmas, giving shoppers in Singapore the chance to score big on the best headphones and best vacuum cleaners, among other categories that will likely include cameras, tablets, PC and gaming.

As with any Amazon Prime sale, the biggest savings will be reserved for Amazon Prime members. If you've still not yet signed up for a membership, you can grab yourself a free 30-day trial from today and be covered for the duration of the six days in October. If you aren't too keen on paying up for the following month, you can always cancel any time – no questions asked.

As ever, the TechRadar team will be all hands on deck come Tuesday, October 8, picking out the best Prime Day deals in Singapore throughout the duration of the next big Amazon sale, saving you time from trawling through the countless pages.

Apple AirTags are more widely available since the best-selling tracker's introduction in 2021 and the newest model's release in 2026. To help you find the best Apple AirTag deals, I've created this guide to show you the lowest prices from across the web.

The Apple AirTag is a Bluetooth location-tracking device that pairs with your iPhone. If you tend to misplace your keys or wallet, you can attach an AirTag to anything you don't want to lose, and your iPhone will locate it with Precision Finding technology.

While straight discounts used to be difficult to find outside of sales like Black Friday and Prime Day, you can typically find small discounts from third-party retailers to save on the starting price of $29 / £28 / AU$44 MSRP.

Another way to save is to find bundles. You can regularly see $15 or $25 off packs of 4 AirTags, so if you need all the tracking, it's well worth investing in the larger $ 99/£99 multi-pack.

Where to find the best Apple AirTags sales and deals

If you're still after the best Apple AirTag deals, you can check out the retailers below in addition to our comparison chart above for the best chances of finding the sale price for you. Keep in mind Apple AirTag deals are rare, so if you see a price cut, you should grab it while you can.

US:

• Amazon: the best retailer for discounts on the Apple AirTag
• Apple: free engraving with your Apple AirTag purchase
• Best Buy: discounts on Apple AirTag accessories
• Walmart: Apple AirTag stock and accessories available

UK:

• Amazon: discounts on the Apple AirTag and accessories
• Apple: free engraving with your Apple AirTag purchase
• John Lewis: Available stock on Apple AirTag and accessories
• Currys: discounts on Apple AirTag accessories

Apple AirTags price: how much is the tracking device?

Retailers like Apple and Amazon sell the Apple AirTag individually or in a four-pack. One Apple AirTag device costs $29/£28/AU$44, and a four-pack retails for $17/£13/AU$28.

Is the Apple AirTags price worth it?

Apple fans will think the Apple AirTags price is worth it because it works with your Apple devices to find lost items and a one-pack only retails for $29/£28/AU$44.

Another Bluetooth tracker, the Tile tracker, is compatible with both iOS and Android and requires you to download a separate app to track your stuff. Tile makes several different trackers, but the most similar to the Apple AirTag, the Tile Pro, is priced at $34.99/£29.99.

If you're an Android user, it's probably best to go with the Tile family, but Apple users should stick with the slightly cheaper AirTag.

Apple AirTag Accessories

Are you looking to attach your Apple AirTag to your keys or bag? Apple has designed stylish accessories to go with your Apple AirTag, including a leather key ring and loop available in several different color choices. We've listed the best prices for both Apple AirTag accessories below.

We like to pride ourselves on our accurate estimations of Amazon's big sales like Prime Day, but guessing the date of the next one is no longer required – Amazon has officially confirmed that Prime Big Deal Days is returning this October. While we don't have an exact date just yet, last year's Big Deal Days sale started at the stroke of midnight on October 10 and 2022's equivalent sale started on October 11, so it's fairly safe to assume 2024's Prime Big Deal Days will also kick off in the second week of October. If it starts on the Tuesday, that would land on October 8, 2024.

Prime Big Deal Days will take place in 19 countries – Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. Not all countries get the same benefit, though.  

Unlike Prime Day, in which Australia saw six days of deals compared to the United States' two, we expect each country to get the same 48-hour sale. However, we expect some countries such as Australia and Singapore to get an extended sale – usually around 65-hours based on previous events – due to the fact customers there can access deals from international storefronts including the US, UK and Japan.

While Amazon-branded products like Kindle, Ring and Echo speakers – which plaster our guides of the best ereaders, best video doorbells, best security cameras and best smart speakers – are sure to see hefty price-cuts, history leads us to assume we'll see a lot more than that.

July's Amazon Prime Day saw massive discounts from the likes of Nintendo, Sony, Bose, Sennheiser, Samsung, Apple and Dyson across a diverse range of products including gaming consoles, smartwatches and the best headphones, stick vacuums and cheap phones. But, while we expect a similar output in October, there's no word yet on specifics.

We've also got our fingers crossed for discounts to Amazon's premium services. We've seen services like Audible, Kindle Unlimited and Prime Video add-on subscriptions discounted for Prime sales before, and with Paramount Plus increasing prices this year, savings here would be welcomed.

Get the most out of October's Prime Big Deal Days Sale

If Amazon's same-day and next-day delivery, constant deals, and benefits like Prime Video haven't yet convinced you of its value, exclusive sales periods like Prime Big Days make it hard to ignore.

That's right, Prime Big Deal Days will be a Prime Member-exclusive, but that doesn't mean you have to shell out the coin for a subscription if you're yet to subscribe. New members get a 30-day free trial, so you can test out the service and gain access to the Prime-exclusive deals without paying for a subscription.

Amazon offers free domestic and international shipping on the majority of items for Prime members, so the discounted price you see is what you get. Plus, there are a range of Prime-only coupons added regularly, and Lightning Deals throughout sales events that provide even more bang for your buck if you've got your eye on the ball. 

It can still take a little work to make sure you're getting the best deals, though. We recommend keeping an eye on Amazon's best seller lists during the event to see what others are buying. You can also shop in advance, adding any desired items to your wishlist rather than cart – then, when the sale comes you can easily see which products are discounted. The Amazon app and these helpful Amazon-shopping tools also make shopping even easier, and ensure you're getting a good deal.

If all that's a little too much work though, just like we did for Prime Day in July, we monitor Amazon's deals daily and pull together a list of the best in our Amazon Prime Big Deal Days hub – so all you have to do is click. 

In addition to gaining access to Prime Big Deal Days, Prime Delivery and year-round discounts, Prime gives subscribers access to shows like The Boys, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, Reacher and Those About to Die, millions of songs and top podcasts on Amazon Music, a rotating collection of free ebooks with Prime Reading and a continually updated selection of free games through Prime Gaming and Twitch. Try it all without spending a cent with Amazon's 30-day free trial.

There are only a few hours until it's finally Amazon Prime Day 2024, and we're just as excited as you are. At the moment, Amazon is in full swing with deals on the best vacuum cleaners, and amidst those are stellar offers on popular models from Shark. 

At TechRadar, we've praised Shark vacuums for a multitude of reasons, be that their versatility or powerful performances. And to get the ball rolling with Shark Prime Day deals, there are four models we think are the ones to look out for - and they're available in both the US and UK. 

There are several reasons why these Shark vacuum deals have made our list, one of the reasons being that each model is designed with convenience in mind. Whether that's in the form of a robot vacuum or a cordless vacuum with anti-hair wrap technology, these Shark vacuums are easy to use and versatile. And when it comes to price, two of the four deals are currently at their lowest prices ever - it doesn't get better than that.

Since Prime Day 2024 doesn't officially kick off until July 16, there's a chance that more Shark vacuums could get further price drops as we settle into the sales event, so we'll be keeping our eyes peeled to bring you the best deals possible. With that said, if you can't wait until Prime Day, here are the Shark vacuum deals you should grab before the big day.

Best Shark vacuum Prime Day deals in the UK 

As we've mentioned, Shark vacuums have been a smash hit with us at TechRadar - particularly its cordless models which are built for convenience, but still pack a powerful cleaning performance. Having said that, Shark's corded vacuums are equally as great. Despite not having the convenience bonus, they tick all the boxes when it comes to providing deep cleaning on both hard floors and carpets.

Amid all the Shark vacuum deals, there are plenty of other brands available this Prime Day if Shark doesn't do it for you. To make sure you're not missing out on the best vacuum deals, we'll be updating all of our best Amazon Prime Day 2024 vacuum deals over the next few days.

Prime Day is Amazon's annual shopping event solely for members of its Prime subscription service. This year, it takes place in the US, UK and many other countries over 23-26 June 2026 — which means it's about to get going very soon.

Unlike Black Friday and other holidays such as Memorial Day and Labor Day, which can also be great times to pick up a bargain, there's no interesting history behind Prime Day — it's simply a way for Amazon to push thousands of deals to its millions of subscribers.

Prime Day has expanded in recent years, having been a single-day thing when it was first held on July 15, 2015, to mark Amazon's 20th birthday. The 2025 event lasted for four days in many countries, and took place over as many as six days in Australia and Singapore. In 2026 it will again last for four days in the US and UK. In recent years Amazon has also run a second Prime Day event in October.

Of course, to take advantage of the deals you'll need to be an Amazon Prime member, although if you've never used it before you can sign up for a 30-day Amazon Prime free trial to get access to the deals. This will also let you enjoy the other membership benefits, including free shipping, access to Prime Video and more.

Below, you'll find all of the latest Prime Day deals and information.

After much speculation, the official dates for Amazon Prime Day in Australia have been revealed, and this year’s sale will last a full 6 days, kicking off at 00:00am AEST/SGT on Tuesday, July 16 and running all the way through until 11:59pm AEST/SGT on Sunday, July 21.

That's the longest Prime Day we've ever had, and as always, we expect it to deliver some of the best discounts on tech we'll see all year. We’ll be keeping a particularly close eye on prices of the best headphones, best tablets and the best cameras, but rest assured you'll find all of the best deals in our dedicated Prime Day deals hub.

Amazon is also promising big savings on the likes of Apple, Samsung, Dyson and Bose, among other big-name brands.

Of course, Amazon Prime Day deals are predominantly only available to Prime members (hence the name) but we do occasionally see some discounts open to all. If you’re not yet a Prime member but you want to take advantage of the best discounts, you can sign-up for a free 30-day trial today and even cancel it immediately, yet still be eligible for Prime Day deals.

While Amazon Prime isn't available as a subscription service in New Zealand, Kiwi shoppers will be able to partake as well as some of the discounted items will ship across ditch for free – just check the product listing on the retailer site for the delivery information.

And shoppers in Singapore will also be treated to a six-day deals fest, with plenty of discounts on local and international brands. 

Prime yourself for Prime Day

Now that Amazon has officially revealed the dates for Prime Day in Australia and Singapore as being July 16, 2024 until July 21, 2024, now is a good a time as any to make sure you're prepped and ready. You can read our full guide to the sales event in our dedicated hub, but essentially, our best advice is to jump onto Amazon as soon as you can after the Prime Day sale begins, because discounts don't always hang around forever, or they can sell out quickly.

Amazon Prime Day has become one of the biggest and best sales events in Australia in recent years, usually bested only by Black Friday, if at all, and on the very rare occasion by EOFY. Not only do we get deals from the local Amazon AU store, but we're also treated to discounts from international stores, including those in the US, UK, Germany and Japan. Because of this, Prime Day in Australia tends to last longer than the equivalent events in other territories. If you plan on participating this year, then we always suggest purchasing whatever it is you're after, if you like the price you see.

This year also marks the longest-ever Prime Day sale for shoppers in Singapore, and we'll be making sure our dedicated Prime Day Singapore deals hub will be up to date with the latest deals as soon as they drop.

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States, and also one of the busiest shopping days of the year.

It was originally known as Decoration Day and honors US military personnel who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. It takes place on the last Monday in May, which means that this year it occurs on Monday, 25 May 2026.

Memorial Day sales are not as big as those on Black Friday, but they often offer great savings on household items such as large and small appliances, plus mattresses. But we also see discounts on many other tech items during the Memorial Day weekend, with TVs, laptops and various Apple devices also getting price cuts.

All of the big retailers will be running sales; we'll be checking the likes of Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Home Depot and Lowe's to bring you the best deals throughout this period.

Samsung doesn’t just make the best expensive Android phones you can buy, it also makes some of the best bargain phones, like this Galaxy A54 5G, now on sale at Amazon for $324.99. That’s a big $125 savings, dropping this fine mid-range phone to the lowest price we’ve seen. 

Samsung takes much of what it learns from the Galaxy S family and brings it to the Galaxy A54, so the design is strikingly familiar if you’ve ever seen Samsung’s premiere Galaxy S23 Ultra. It has great displays and fine cameras for a phone in this price range — much more versatile than competitors from Motorola and OnePlus. 

Best of all, the Galaxy A54 5G is durable. It is water resistant with IP67 certification, so you can drop it into the pool without worry. It also uses sturdy Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and back, so it should survive minor scrapes and falls. 

Make sure you get the correct model, especially if you’re going to be using this phone in the US. There is a slightly cheaper version at Amazon that is meant for Latin American networks. It will work on T-Mobile, but not as well on Verizon and AT&T. Look for the US networks model, or whatever is appropriate for your region.

Cyber Monday is the now-slightly-awkwardly named counterpart to Black Friday: another 24 hours of full-on shopping frenzy during which retailers slash the prices of thousands of popular products. It always takes place on the Monday after Black Friday, which means that this year it takes place on Monday, 1 December 2025.

It was created by US retailers in 2005 to encourage people to shop online, back when Black Friday itself was still far more of an in-person event. It quickly became one of the busiest shopping days of the year, but is now slightly overshadowed by Black Friday, given that many people buy their Black Friday deals online anyway. That said, it is still a significant shopping day, with some $11.3 billion spent by US consumers on Cyber Monday 2022.

We will of course be rounding up all of the best Cyber Monday deals here on TechRadar, so bookmark this page and check in regularly to see what's available.

Remember pre-internet Black Friday sales, when anxious shoppers would all but trample each other to get their hands on the last Furbee or Nintendo Wii? I think they were onto something. "While supplies last" isn't just a cliche; it's a fact of the online Black Friday Deals marketplace, and you'd do well to heed it and take action while the deals are hot.

Don't believe me? Please learn from my mistake.

Without giving too much away, I've been perusing a bunch of early Black Friday deals for possible gifts for my wife. There are a lot of options across, clothes, jewelry, and, of course, technology. 

TechRadar, in particular, has done an excellent job of scouring the Internet for the best deals from top retailers like Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart, and across the pond, Curry's and John Lewis. In most of our posts on these deals, we remind consumers to act now because, one, prices are unlikely to drop lower (the official  Black Friday, Nov. 24, is basically hours away), and supplies may be limited.

To be honest, I read some of that with a wry grin on my face, thinking, "Oh, sure, supplies of something Samsung, Apple, Google, Amazon, or another tech giant produces in the millions will be limited. Right."

It's for that reason that when I found the perfect tech gift for my wife, I only placed it in my Amazon basket and did not buy it. Maybe it was because it wasn't quite perfect. I also wondered if I'd see one more price drop. In my hubris, I assumed I had all the time in the world to make up my mind.

Except I didn't.

When I returned to my Amazon cart a day or so later, I noticed it was empty. "That's odd," I thought, "since when does Amazon empty a cart?"

Amazon did so because, as it posted in red on my defunct cart selection, "This item is no longer available from the seller you selected."

In other words, the deal was gone because it sold out. Of course, it sold out. This was a great deal, and other, smarter shoppers did not hesitate and let the gift languish in their shopping cart. Me? I did the equivalent of picking up ripe bananas at the local food store, dropping them in my cart, and then returning to the store and cart a week later, wondering why the clerk had thrown out the rotten bananas I had never bought.

Not every gear or gadget will be in short supply. Streaming service Black Friday deals, for example, won't run out, but most of the deals are for a very limited time.

Also, when we tell you that this is the lowest price a product has ever been, that should mean something to you. Rock bottom means rock bottom. Don't sit around waiting for one more price drop that will never come.

If you're looking at Black Friday as some sort of trick, where retailers and companies are not offering the best deals, and they will give you another chance with a better price in mid-December, you're wrong.

They all want to sell as much as they can right now, and their goal is to empty shelves and sell out inventory. That's why the prices are so good.

My advice to you is simple. Don't be like me. If you see a good deal, put it in your cart and head right to checkout. You're welcome.

With Black Friday deals come great excitement – and, of course, plenty of fantastic discounts on some of the most desirable gadgets and devices available.

However, we all know by now that you're never quite safe on the world wide web, which could just as easily be renamed the Wild Wild West at this point, with bad actors always at the ready to make a quick buck.

Fake reviews, whether in the form of falsified Apple App store reviews or dangerous extensions on the Google Chrome Store, are low-hanging fruit for scammers, and make it a whole lot harder to identify the truth when shopping online.

That's not to say all customer reviews out there are fake – plenty of users take the time to legitimately express their thoughts. But when the time comes to finally splash your savings during a sales event, it’s important to consider that not all is always as it seems.

How to identify fake reviews

We spend a lot of time reading reviews, whether they're TechRadar's own or from customers on retail sites like Amazon, and our whole team has become pretty adept at separating the fake from the real. Here are some top tips to keep you safe this Black Friday:

• Read reviews carefully: It sounds obvious, but your best bet to protect yourself is to really interrogate the reviews. Content farms are often the culprits behind fake reviews, so look out for an abnormally high number of spelling and grammar mistakes.
• Check the language: Overly promotional language, especially where reviewers are parroting the marketing messaging from products, is a dead giveaway – when you talk about your favorite headphones, you probably wouldn't harp on about "industry-leading, bespoke and game-changing" technology, for example.
• Sort by most recent: Generally speaking, brands will inflate the product's ratings as close to its release as possible, and it's pretty easy to inflate a review's helpfulness over time to push it higher up in the reviews section. Sorting by 'Most recent' gives you better odds of finding real, contemporary reviews.
• Look for well-balanced opinions: It's rare that anything will ever tick every box, but fake reviews will often highlight only positives. 
• Investigate brands and reviewer profiles: Generally, we'd strongly advise against purchasing from no-name or dupe brands, but if you're intent on at least exploring the idea, research the brand online; do they have a website, are there company listings and does their business seem legitimate? Similarly, check out customer review profiles for overly fake or common names, and high volumes of repeatedly hyper-positive or hyper-negative reviews.
• Read reviews from trusted sites: Obviously, we're a little biased, but whether it's reviews on TechRadar or one of the many tech review sites online that you trust, make sure to double-check what the experts say about products you're thinking of buying.

Amazon tackling fake reviews

Amazon is no stranger to review stuffing (where positive reviews are published as a favor, or in return for ill-gotten gains) and has been at the center of media attention on the matter.

These forged reviews take various forms; from small-scale operations involving falsified reviews from family and friends all the way to large operations with businesses dedicated to the sale of bulk fake Amazon reviews. Previously, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has even had to weigh in against fake review groups on social media sites.

Things were made even more confusing when Amazon introduced global ratings into the product review section, which pooled together reviews from around the world. In some countries, the product available has very different specs, and in some cases completely different.

Plus, with the removal of the comments section and the addition of one-tap reviews, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to verify the validity of customer feedback.

Amazon does regularly remove fraudulent reviews, and even ceased operation of its Chinese marketplace following difficulties in monitoring and growth. However, it’s fair to say it has a pretty mammoth task at hand, with a 2021 blog post from Amazon stating it has more than 300 million active customers and over 1.9 million selling partners worldwide.

According to the post, in 2020 Amazon stopped "more than 200 million suspected fake reviews before they were ever seen by a customer", and over 99% of reviews enforcement was driven by proactive detection.

An Amazon spokesperson highlighted to TechRadar back in 2021 the company's set of policies for both reviewers and selling partners, expressing a commitment to "suspend, ban and take legal action against those who violate these policies."

The spokesperson added to this, saying Amazon uses "powerful machine learning tools and skilled investigators to analyze over 10 million review submissions weekly, aiming to stop abusive reviews before they are ever published.

"In addition, we continue to monitor all existing reviews for signs of abuse and quickly take action if we find an issue. We also proactively work with social media sites to report bad actors who are cultivating abusive reviews outside our store."

Trust the experts

While Amazon continues to work behind the scenes to minimize the impact of fake reviews, they seem to be here to stay in all corners of the internet. However, there’s plenty you can do to protect yourself.

There are some easy-to-spot red flags; overly promotional language, repeated reviews, reviews for an entirely different product, etc. Still, it can take a fair bit of legwork when you are trying to make a choice - especially a quick one on Prime Day. 

We spoke with Saoud Khalifa, CEO and founder of FakeSpot, as well as Tommy Noonan, founder of ReviewMeta, to learn more about the issues around fake reviews.

While Noonan noted ReviewMeta's data hasn’t shown a change in the rate of fake reviews posted, Khalifa's FakeSpot tool noted an influx of fake reviews over the course of lockdown in 2020. 

Where previously they made up an average of 25-30% of all global reviews, as of June/July 2020, this spiked to 40-45% according to FakeSpot's data - a number Khalifa had never seen before.

He says the issue comes from the volume of sellers using the site as a "valet service", claiming it is "impossible for Amazon to check if every product and review is legitimate or not."

As highlighted in Amazon's recent blog post, social media groups play a big role in the current fake review market. 

Noonan says sellers in these groups will pay members to purchase and review products: “Reviewers are using their own money to buy the product, so the reviews still have the ’Verified Purchaser’ badge.  

Additionally, Noonan says, many sellers are incentivizing reviews by giving promotions away with packages. "They will use tricks like pre-screening customer feedback before asking for a review, and even asking people to change their reviews to 5-stars before they get the free gift. 

"This is against Amazon ToS, but I'm personally seeing a note like this in about 35% of my Amazon purchases."

Beyond the surface-level information a consumer can pick up from a quick glance at a listing, there's a lot of deeper information that can help to make an informed decision. 

Noonan highlights unverified purchases, "easy grader" reviewers who give everything 5-stars, batches of reviews in close succession, as well as the kind of language used in reviews as authenticity indicators that ReviewMeta checks for.

Aside from the quality issues that may come with cheaply made products slipping through the net on Amazon, there are legitimate concerns around how fake reviews can also mask counterfeit items. 

Khalifa highlights how there are counterfeits of everything from Apple products to gaming equipment and components from brands like Nvidia and AMD available on the site, purchasable in bulk from sites like Alibaba and Aliexpress.

Using components as an example, he says: "A lot of people question us when we give F-Grades to listings like these. It's because the listings are known to have counterfeits on sale and use fake reviews to hide it. 

“You read the reviews, buy the product, and don't expect it to be a counterfeit, but it’s an insidious problem that won't show up until the component overheats.”

Thankfully, tools like ReviewMeta and FakeSpot provide customers with a way to more quickly and effectively shop safely on Amazon this Prime Day. 

ReviewMeta allows users to copy and paste any Amazon product URL into ReviewMeta.com to receive a complete analysis of the reviews.

Noonan says: "We leverage algorithms and data science to examine hundreds of millions of reviews and help identify suspicious patterns in the reviews."

FakeSpot also has a site with a similar function, as well as a browser add-on for Chrome or Firefox and an app that augments the buyer's journey as they shop online with a set of features. 

The first is FakeSpot's review ratings, which uses an A-F grading system to score the reliability and trustworthiness of reviews. Next is FakeSpot Guard, a tool that highlights sellers known to trade counterfeit products, which was added in 2020 after the team identified a rise in counterfeit issues. Lastly is the highlights feature, which delivers the most crucial top-line review information for users.

Amazon Prime Day is an exciting time to get a great deal – so make sure it's actually a good deal you’re getting.

Whether it's by remaining skeptical and investigating reviews yourself or using tools to do the legwork for you, it’s more important than ever to protect yourself online against deceptive promotional tactics.

If you see a review that you think might be fake, it's important to report this to Amazon by clicking the 'Report Abuse' link that appears underneath the review.

Outside of Amazon, you can always read reviews on sites like ours, and keep up to date with what we’re saying are the best deals on Amazon Prime Day.

The weeks leading up to Black Friday can be the best time to snag some of the best offers out there, and it’s no exception with Lego Black Friday deals. Sales on popular Lego building sets are live across retailers with plenty of reductions on its Marvel range, perfect if you’re both Lego enthusiast and MCU fanatic. 

Right now, there are deals on most Lego themes out there, but it’s the Marvel range that has caught my eye for Black Friday 2023. UK retailers are listing the best offers on building sets and collectibles, including the Lego Marvel Sanctum Sanctorum which was one of our Lego Black Friday highlights last year. This year the popular set makes a comeback at Argos where it’s listed at £158, down from its usual £215 price tag. While it’s not at the lowest price in its listing history, it’s the lowest we’ve seen so far across retailers in the UK this Black Friday. 

John Lewis and Smyths Toy Store are equal contenders for Lego Marvel deals with more offers on adult building sets and collectible Marvel models. The Iron Man Hulkbuster Armour set is a great set to grab at this year’s Black Friday if you’re into the more intricate building models. It’s a fantastic action figure statement piece and even better at a discounted price tag of £349.99 at Smyths, down from £474.99.

Black Friday is the year's biggest shopping event, when retailers across the world cut their prices ahead of the holiday season.

Though the date shifts each year, it always takes place on the Friday after Thanksgiving. In 2025, Black Friday will be on Friday, November 28. And yes, that means that it's today!

Black Friday started out as an in-store event in shops across the US, but has now mainly moved online, with the likes of Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy and Target competing to offer the best deals.

The UK, slightly late to the party, joined in from 2014, as retailers such as Argos, Currys and John Lewis realized there was money to be made. It's now a worldwide phenomenon, with many countries across Europe, Asia, South America and Australia taking part each year.

While the big online retailers dominate, many brands run their own Black Friday sales too. Some simply discount the products in their own stores, but others offer limited-edition models or throw in accessory packs for free. It's not limited to physical products, either, with streaming services often offering reduced-price subscriptions during the sales event.

Opinion is divided as to why it's called Black Friday, but the first known mention of the term in relation to shopping dates from November 1951, when the journal Factory Management and Maintenance used it to describe people calling in sick the day after Thanksgiving so they could have an extra day off work.

These days, there's no need to take the day off, because you can easily shop from the comfort of your desk. We'll be rounding up all of the best Black Friday deals throughout the shopping season, so bookmark this page to make sure you don't miss a thing.

If you want to score a deal during Amazon’s second Prime Day sale but are budget conscious, we’ve found the top deals that slide in under SG$100 in the October sale. You’ll have to hurry though, as the Prime Big Deal Days sale technically ends at 11.59pm SGT tonight, October 11 – though there might be a few global deals still on offer up until the US sale ends at 3pm on October 12 Singapore time.

From headphones to air fryers, there’s a nice variety of budget-friendly bargains to snatch up before the sale comes to an end. Every single one of the deals listed here is currently under SG$100, with a few sneaking even lower than SG$50, making them a great buy if you’re pinching pennies but still want some new tech in your life.

Fry, listen, play and indulge with the following bargains – just note, you’ll have to be an Amazon Prime member to score most of them. However, thanks to Amazon’s 30-day free trial, you can snatch them up without dropping any extra cash on a subscription if you’re new to the service, otherwise it’s a pretty affordable SG$2.99 per month.

We don’t have to guess anymore – Amazon has officially confirmed the date for its next big sales event. Prime Big Deal Days will officially kick off from midnight on Tuesday, October 10 in the US, Canada, UK, Australia and other regions across the globe, with deals running right up until the end of Wednesday, October 11 – a full 48 hours of shopping, just like we did for Prime Day back in July. 

However, some countries will enjoy a longer shopping marathon. For example, Australia and Singapore can get international deals from other Amazon markets like Japan, UK and the US, so their sale will not end until the US West Coast clocks off. So if you happen to live in Australia, you'll get a full 65 hours to shop till you drop!

These days coincide with what we saw for Amazon Prime Early Access last year, which was during October 11-12 in 2022.

Following up on the massive Amazon Prime Day sale back in July is no easy feat, but Amazon is already dropping hints for deals that Prime members can expect to see. Brands such as Nintendo, PlayStation, Logitech, Bose and more are all set to score major discounts, but Amazon is staying tight-lipped on exactly what products shoppers will find come mid-October.

As we saw during the 2023 Amazon Prime Day sale, we expect Amazon-branded devices to pick up some hefty bargains and keen readers should keep an eye out for savings on the best Kindles. For those looking to upgrade their home’s tech, we expect you’ll be able to find some of the best smart home devices on sale, including Amazon’s Echo range.

We also hope to see some of Amazon’s premium services nab some savings. Back during Amazon Prime Day, extra channels on Prime Video were offered at discounted prices in some markets, such as Shudder and Paramount Plus. Additionally, gamers could snatch up perks on Prime Gaming including digital copies of full games for no extra cost, so we’ve got our fingers crossed that we’ll see more of this come October. 

How to maximize your savings in the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sale

Just like Amazon Prime Day, the best discounts dropping during Prime Big Deal Days are likely to be exclusive to Prime members. So if you’re looking to shop the sale, you’ll want to sign up ahead of time, and new members even get a 30-day trial so you can test the service out without parting with any extra cash.

There’s free shipping for both domestic and eligible international purchases, so shoppers won’t have to worry about extra fees while searching for their next prized possession. Amazon also typically offers extra coupons on listings and runs limited Lightning Deals across sales, so you’ll have to be quick on your feet (or fingers in this case) if a product you want to buy receives a tidy discount.

Ahead of the sale, we recommend keeping an eye on Amazon’s Best Sellers lists, as this can give you a glimpse as to what is popular and what could potentially see a price drop. Plus you can put anything that catches your interest into a wishlist so you can quickly find the product once the discounts kick off. We’ll also be tracking the biggest discounts on our Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sales page, so you won’t have to spend hours searching for the best deals. 

If you plan to shop from your phone, you might also want to download the Amazon app. The app will let you set alerts for saved items and even track your purchases once they’ve been shipped. Additionally, back during Amazon Prime Day, we found a variety of apps and tools to help score the best Prime Day deals, and they’ll be useful for this upcoming sale as well.

In addition to shopping perks, a Prime membership also comes with a stack of other benefits. Prime Video, Prime Gaming, Prime Music and Prime Reading are all included in an Amazon Prime membership, so you’ll have access to hours of movies, shows, music, games, books and more even during the 30-day free trial.

Get those wallets ready – just a month after its major Prime Day sale, Amazon has confirmed that a second big round of deals and discounts is coming in October. There’s no specific date yet, but it’s been given the name of Prime Big Deal Days, replacing the Prime Early Access Sale (or the Big Smile Sale in Australia) that shoppers were treated to on October 11-12 in 2022.

It’s been confirmed that 19 countries will be included in the Prime Big Deal Days sale, including the US, Canada, the UK, Australia and Singapore.

There’s not a lot of other official information available for this next big sale, but Amazon has confirmed that it’ll include some of the “best deals of the season” and will be exclusive to Prime members only. That means that in a couple of months we can expect some record-low prices on not just Amazon’s own products, like the Kindles and Echo smart speakers but also a wide plethora of goodies across tech, toys, homewares and more.

What to expect from Prime Big Deal Days 2023

Amazon’s promise of the “best deals of the season” makes it sound like it will be better than the Prime Day sale back in July. However, since we’ve never had Prime Big Deal Days before, that’s hard to confirm.

We can, however, extrapolate from last year’s Prime Early Access Sale (or Amazon Australia’s Big Smile Sale) which, in all honesty, was a little lackluster by comparison. For example, we saw record-low prices for the Kindle Paperwhite (2021) in some regions during Prime Day 2022 in July, but the discount on the same item in October wasn’t as good. Will Amazon keep its promise? Well, we’ll have to wait and see.

That said, the Prime Big Deal Days will give savvy shoppers a chance to sneak in a bargain if they want to avoid the chaos that the Black Friday deals bring in late November.

Of course, we know for sure that the deals that will be offered during Prime Big Deal Days will be exclusive to Amazon Prime members, just like the Amazon Prime Day sales. There’s a 30-day free trial new Prime members can take advantage of closer to the sale, however, there will likely be some offers that anyone can shop as well. 

As with any Amazon sale, leading the deals charge will be the online retailer’s own hardware. So keep an eye out for big savings on one of the best Kindles or even one of the best smart home devices at a fantastic price.

Following last year’s Prime Early Access Sale, this sale may be at least a two-day event. In Australia, however, last October’s Big Smile Sale was a week-long deals bonanza, so there’s the potential that Amazon shoppers across the globe could get up to a week’s worth of big bargains. We just need to wait patiently for a little while longer to find out more for ourselves.

There’s not much time left in 2023’s Amazon Prime Day sale, with Amazon SG’s official sale ending at 11.59pm SGT tonight (July 12) and the global deals ending at 3pm SGT on July 13. While I’ve been searching high and low across Amazon SG for great deals on stuff like LG OLED TVs and iPhones, I’ve also spotted some great deals that won’t break the bank.

Each of the following offers slip in under SG$100, with some even sinking in under SG$50! 

From Amazon’s own Echo Dot and Kindle, a few different digital storage solutions from Samsung and some great gifting options with Lego, the following deals are well worth their price tag and then some.

If you aren’t aware, to grab these deals, you’ll need to be an Amazon Prime member. There’s a 30-day free trial for new subscribers, and a SG$2.99 monthly fee thereafter, but a Prime membership in Singapore is one that’s super worth it. Along with exclusive sales, free international and one-day domestic shipping, you also get access to Prime Video and Prime Gaming at no further cost.

Now that we’re well into July, Amazon Prime Day is literally just next week. And if you’re planning to spend big during Amazon’s next big sales event, you might want to find a few ways to maximise your savings, so we’ve found this neat trick that will give you an extra SG$10 to spend during the July 11 and July 12 sale.

Amazon gift cards are easy to forget about, but they’re a handy option if you’re stuck on looking for a present. Right now, if you spend SG$100 or more on gift cards in one transaction, you will get SG$10 promo credit added to your account. There is a catch though – you need to be a Prime member and use the code GIFTPRIME at checkout. If you wanted to use those gift cards during Prime Day, this is a neat little trick to save an extra SG$10 while on your shopping spree.

You have up until 11.59pm SGT on July 13, or until the 3,600 limit has been reached, to claim this promo credit. It’s open to all Prime members, even those on a 30-day free trial, but you’ll need to be quick if you want to snatch up this additional saving. The best bit about this extra SG$10 credit? You have up until 11.59pm SGT on December 31, 2023 to use it, so if nothing takes your fancy during Prime Day, you can hold onto it for the 11.11 sales or even Black Friday.

As Amazon Prime Day quickly approaches, we’re already starting to see deals on a range of goods offered both locally and from the global stores on Amazon SG. The official dates are locked in for July 11 and 12, but if you can’t wait for the main event, you can already nab some pretty hefty discounts on some of the latest tech.

There’s a lot already on offer here, with deals spanning across both the local SG site to Amazon devices from the US store. From Kindles to Apple AirPods and even board games, there’s a stack of deals ready to be grabbed with savings as high as 43% off.

In this batch of bargains, most of the deals are exclusive for Amazon Prime members. Thankfully, here in Singapore, Amazon Prime has one of the lowest costs and still includes Prime Video within the subscription. There’s even a 30-day free trial new members can test out before committing to the SG$2.99 per month subscription.

Amazon's next big sale is almost here, with the online seller officially announcing Tuesday, July 11 and Wednesday, July 12 as the official Amazon Prime Day 2023 dates.

Announced via banners on Amazon, we had predicted that Amazon Prime Day would take place sometime in July, following a tradition that has only been broken a few times in the past. Back in 2020, Prime Day landed in October having been delayed by the ongoing global pandemic, and 2021's event hit early in June. Prime Day would return to July in 2020, so this is the second year in a row that the month hosts Amazon's two day shopping spree.

In fact, it's pretty much exactly a year since the last Amazon Prime Day, which took place on Tuesday, July 12 and Wednesday, July 13 in 2022. And just like last year, we're probably going to see some fantastic discounts on both products and subscription services. Some services like Music Unlimited, Kindle Unlimited and Audible might even include bonus offers such as a four-month free trial for new members, instead of the typical 30 days. 

You can also expect to find deals on Amazon devices, sometimes even as much as 55% off. There are already some big discounts available on Kindle, Fire TV Stick 4K Max and more. 

It's not just Amazon brands that get the special treatment though — once July 11 rolls around, keep an eye out for big deals from brands such as Shark, Samsung and Bosch during the two day shopping bonanza.

And those banners displaying the next Prime Day date act as a good reminder that if you want to maximize your shopping experience, you'll want to nab an Amazon Prime membership ahead of time. 

There's even a 30-day free trial for the service that, if you join between now and Prime Day, will cover July 11 and 12. Membership even comes with a stack of benefits along with access to exclusive discounts on site, including access to the best Prime Video shows as well as Prime Gaming — all under one subscription. But if the service isn't right for you, just cancel before the end of your 30-day free trial to avoid any ongoing costs.

Amazon Prime Day 2023: what to expect

Having now expanded into a two-day shopping extravaganza, Amazon Prime Day is typically when you'll find the best deals on Amazon-branded products. It's a great idea to keep an eye on the site across the two days, as there'll be limited-time lightning deals on offer that will surely get snatched up quick by savvy shoppers.

Since the first Amazon Prime Day way back in 2015, the massive sale has grown to resemble something close to Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Typically, the best deals and discounts typically come on Amazon’s own products, such as Echo smart home gadgets, Kindle ereaders, Ring security devices and more.

Prime Day is also a great time to pick up a gaming console, with the Nintendo Switch historically picking up the best console discounts overall. Though with the PS5 more readily available, we've got our fingers crossed for even bigger savings on that powerhouse of a gaming machine.

We've barely recovered from Black Friday in Singapore, but the deals train hasn't stopped yet, as we've now arrived at the annual 12.12 sales.

The 12.12 sales in Singapore officially kick off today, but some retailers such as Amazon SG jumped the gun early.

Admittedly, the 12.12 sales aren't the biggest of the same-day sales in Singapore, that title tends to belong to the 11.11 Singles Day sales, but we still expect to see some great bargains from some of Singapore's biggest retailers.

Below you can view a list of retailers in Singapore that are participating in the 12.12 sales, including our top deal recommendations.

12.12 sales Singapore: top retailers

• Amazon: epic 12.12 deals across tech, home appliances and more

12.12 sales Singapore: all you need to know

What retailers participate in the 12.12 sales?

Despite coming off Cyber Monday, many retailers are already advertising 12.12 sales in Singapore. Such retailers include Amazon, Lazada and Robinsons.

If you're looking for a cheap Hydro Flask deal, you're certainly not alone. The line of colorful and well-insulated liquid containers is having something of a moment, and we've done the grueling and arduous task of trying them out, so you know exactly what you're getting.

The Hydro Flask doesn't come cheap, though, with some models retailing for as much as $60/£46. To help you find the best prices, we've rounded up the best Hydro Flask sales and deals that you can find online to get refreshments on the go for less. You'll find all the models currently available rounded up just below, but keep reading for a breakdown of exactly what you get with every Hydro Flask version. 

Founded in 2009, the Hydro Flask range originally started out with insulated water bottles but has grown to offer tumblers, food containers, soft coolers, and more.  The company uses TempShield double-wall vacuum insulation to lock in temperature so hot drinks stay hot and cold drinks remain cool – which has been a boon for us whether we're walking around outdoors or just keeping a cup of coffee warm at our desks.

The best Hydro Flask sales and deals:

They Hydro Flask water bottle is your perfect companion to stay hydrated throughout the day. The insulated water bottle comes with a standard mouth flex cap that features a convenient strap making it easy to carry on the go.

The 18-ounce flask uses TempShield technology to keep beverages cold up to 24 hours and hot up to 12 hours when using the lid. The container is made of a durable stainless steel material, and the outer shell features a proprietary powder coat, making it tactile and easy to grip.

The Hydro Flask with Sport Cap is the perfect companion for workouts, hikes, bike rides, and more. The lightweight container features a tall, thin design that allows you to easily store in a small bag, a side pocket, or a car cup holder, making it easy to take on the go.

The Hydro Flask includes TempShield insulation, which eliminates condensation and keeps beverages cold for up to 24 hours, perfect for long, hot workouts. The standard mouth sport cap allows you to hydrate with one hand and is insulated to keep water ice cold.

Keep your morning coffee hot all day long with the Hydro Coffee Flask. The insulated mug keeps your steamy cup of joe warm up to 12 hours, and your iced coffee says cold up to 24 hours. The 12-ounce coffee cup conveniently fits under most coffee makers, so you can brew your own cup then take it on the go. The Hydro coffee Flask comes with the Hydro Flip lid to help reduce spills and features a powder coat exterior for a slip-free grip and extra durability.

Take your wine on the go and keep it at the perfect temperature with the Hydro Flask wine tumbler. The 10-ounce mug holds two standard pours and features a refined shape that's comfortable to hold. 

The Hydro Flask tumbler comes with a press-in lid that features Honeycomb Insulation for additional temperature control and a worry-free lip that eliminates drips.

What's the big deal with Hydro Flask?

The stylish containers are made of pro-grade stainless steel to ensure a pure taste, and the durable construction allows you to travel with it anywhere. Perfect for taking drinks on the go, the Hydro Flask's standard lid is 100% leakproof and made of a honeycomb structure to help with insulation.

The insulation adds some volume, so it will take up more space in your backpack than a bottle without that included, but it means your iced coffee or scalding tea won't be ruined by the elements outside (and, to be honest, it's not been a huge issue for us day to day).

The outer shell is made with a proprietary powder coat for an easy grip, too, and is made in fourteen different shades – all looking cheerful, professional, and very much up to task. 

We've listed the most popular models below which include the Hydro Flask water bottle with a standard or wide mouth, the coffee flask, and the wine tumbler. 

We'll let you know the best features and specifications for each container, and (most importantly) the best online Hydro Flask price.

Amazon founder Jess Bezos had some interesting advice to share with prospective Black Friday deals shoppers this week.

In an interview with CNN (via the Telegraph), Bezos was asked whether people should “batten down the hatches” in increasingly difficult economic circumstances, to which he replied:

“My advice to people is take some risk off the table. If you're an individual and you're thinking about buying a new large-screen TV, maybe slow that down. Keep that cash, see what happens. Same thing with a refrigerator or a new car, or whatever.”

So, Jeff Bezos - the founder of Amazon - is advising people to hold onto their cash as we head into Black Friday and Cyber Monday. 

It's not a ground-breaking statement by any stretch of the imagination, but its timing is interesting considering it's coming from the founder of the largest online retailer worldwide just as we're about to hit the biggest shopping event of the year. For consumers, this is usually a great time to save money on a big-screen TV, but Bezos' comments don't exactly paint a pretty picture for the economy as a whole.

Doom and gloom this Black Friday?

Spiraling energy costs and inflation have put the pinch on shoppers' wallets this year, with many looking to reel in previously care-free purchases. Bezos' statements are likely to ring true for many - even if they are a little obvious.

Amazon, like many other retailers, is facing a much more difficult trading environment this year versus the relative boom times during the pandemic. 

As reported by the Telegraph, the retailer lowered its predicted sales expectations for the fourth quarter of 2022 from $155Bn to between $140 and $140bn. It was also announced this week (via the BBC) that the retail giant is looking to cut 10,000 jobs from its global workforce of 1.5 million - around 3% in total. 

While Amazon isn't the only tech giant laying off employees right now (Meta has announced 11,000 layoffs; Twitter 3,000), it's not likely that Bezos' advice for Black Friday shoppers was welcomed by everyone working at the retail giant.

What does this actually mean for shoppers?

For the record, we agree with the advice from Jeff Bezos. It's incredibly prudent that you spend your money wisely, and doubly so if there's potential for an economic downturn. 

We wouldn't, however, simply write off Black Friday this year if you're looking for a bargain. If demand is lower, retailers will need to compete for shoppers more intensely, and therefore we could see some very compelling offers on tech. 

We've covered the Black Friday deals for many years now, and generally speaking, when there's been intense demand (like the previous two years) the offers have been of lesser quality.

So, if you did want a big-screen Black Friday TV deal, you're likely to have plenty of excellent value options to pick from this year. In regards to spending your money prudently, we'd highlight the value of research - in particular, checking tech review sites like ours for unbiased, no-nonsense overviews of products. 

If you're trying to make your money go further, you can also cut out any sub-par options by reading our guides to the best TVs or best laptops for example. You can also bookmark our main Black Friday deals page for up-to-date recommendations on what's actually worth buying this year.

In what feels like the blink of an eye, the Black Friday sales in Singapore have ended for another year. We saw some tremendous discounts throughout the sales period, particularly at Amazon Singapore.

The good news is that many of the online retail giant's discounts are still live. Some have ended as expected, while some have increased in price slightly. I've sifted through all of the deals I saw during the Black Friday weekend and have found many that are still worthwhile, which you can view below.

Some of the best deals that have now ended include amazing discounts on Samsung TVs and soundbars, and some great prices on the PS5 and Nintendo Switch. Headphones are still available for low prices however, as are a selection of household appliances and vacuum cleaners.

Amazon Singapore Black Friday sale 2025: Key information

Are Amazon Cyber Monday deals better than Prime Day?

Yes and no. While Amazon tends to keep the best deals on Amazon-branded products for Prime Day and other Prime exclusive sales, Cyber Monday is when a massive number of deals are available across a huge range of brands and departments, plus they’re not necessarily locked behind an Amazon Prime membership.

The Black Friday weekend in Singapore has officially ended, but Cyber Monday is here to take its place for one more day of discount mayhem! If you've been holding off making any purchases in the hopes retailers were saving their biggest discount for today, now's your time to shine. Just note that most deals will come to an end at 11.59pm SGT tonight, December 1, so you only have a few hours left.

As we suspected, the Amazon Singapore Black Friday sale has been revealing plenty of great discounts since it went live on November 20. You can follow our love coverage of that sale for all the latest deals.

But, what other retailers still have Cyber Monday deals live in Singapore? We've compiled a list of all the major ones that have deals ready for you to shop a little further down.

Read on to find out more.

Black Friday 2025 in Singapore: Key information

Singapore Black Friday 2025: our deal predictions

Thanks to the Amazon Singapore Black Friday sale now being live, we have a better understanding of what products you can expect to see discounted as we approach the official Black Friday date.

As expected, headphones are extremely popular, along with portable Bluetooth speakers. We've also seen some great early discounts on TVs from brands such as LG, TCL, Sony and Samsung.

We'll of course be hoping to see discounts on new 2025 releases so watch this space. Games consoles should be big-hitters, too, especially with the launch of the PlayStation 5 Pro towards the end of 2024 and the popular Nintendo Switch 2. While Sony's latest console may not get the discount treatment, its arrival should mean greater savings on the current models.

Laptops are another category that tends to receive excellent savings during Black Friday, especially from brands such as Lenovo, which always seems to be holding a sale of some description throughout the year. We're hoping the company will go all-out when Black Friday rolls around. You never know, Apple MacBooks may also come down in price, watch this space.

Throughout the year brands such as Dyson, Ecovacs, Tineco and Roborock have all offered discounts across cordless vacuums, steam floor cleaners and robot vacuums, both through marketplaces such as Shopee or Lazada and directly from the source. It’s highly likely some of these deals will be beaten during Black Friday.

Black Friday vs Amazon Prime Day: Which is better?

Amazon Prime Day is an Amazon-exclusive sale, so while you might find some retailers matching deals, they’re not officially part of that sale. It’s also typically full of Prime member-exclusive deals. Black Friday, on the other hand, is a major shopping event where any and all retailers can jump in, including Amazon. The deals from Amazon SG also won’t all be locked behind a Prime membership, though Prime members might find some extra savings on hot ticket items.

Black Friday is typically the biggest shopping event of the year, but for the best deals on Amazon-branded devices such as Kindle ereaders or Echo smart speakers, Amazon Prime Day generally has the best offerings.

The 2022 Amazon Prime Early Access Sale has now come and gone, having officially finished at 3pm on October 13 (SGT). Although the exclusive deals through the Amazon US Global Store have now wrapped up, there are still a few bargains that Singapore shoppers can snatch through the main site.

Most of these extended deals are available to everyone, but you can still sign up fro Amazon Prime to get access to exclusive deals and free same day delivery on eligible items.

The next big upcoming shopping events for Singapore are 11.11 sales and Black Friday both in November. If you can't wait until November 11 to score yourself a bargain, you can check out the deals below that are still available or jump over to the best tech deals in Singapore to see what our highlights are each week.

• Want to find more bargains? We’ve found the best tech deals in Singapore this week.

Singapore 10.10 sales: best deals from the 2022 event

To get an idea of what might be on offer this month, we’ve found the top 5 deals from the 2022 10.10 sales so you know what to expect once it starts this year. These deals may not be repeated this year, but they just serve as an indication as to what kind of products were discounted.

Update: The leak has now been confirmed as Amazon has just announced the Prime Early Access Sale. As seen here, the new 48-hour Prime Day-style sales event will take place on October 11 - 12 and will feature thousands of deals exclusively available for Amazon Prime members. Looks like Black Friday is starting early.

We've heard a lot of rumblings over the past few months about a potential re-run of Amazon Prime Day later this year. And now it looks like those rumors are at least partly true according to a new page on Amazon that references a Prime Early Access Sale set to take place in October.

First spotted by What Hi-Fi, the page in question lists a number of terms and conditions related to a smart plug deal that will be exclusively available during the Prime Early Access Sale. One of these conditions states that the purchase "must take place between October 11, 2022 at 12:00 AM PT and October 12, 2022 at 11:59 PM PT".

Based on that, we can reasonably assume that the Prime Early Access Sale will take place at Amazon US between October 11 - October 12.

This does tie in with the original rumors that first circulated in June. Back then, a leak revealed that Amazon was asking its retail partners to submit a selection of lightning deals for an event dubbed 'Prime Fall'. This strongly suggested that another Prime Day event was in the cards with a selection of exclusive limited-time savings for members.

Amazon has not made any public announcements yet about a second Prime Day or the Prime Early Access Sale. It's also unclear whether it will run a similar event in other regions at the same time. We've asked Amazon to comment and will share any more news as soon as we hear anything.

So, is this really Amazon Prime Day 2?

Honestly, we don't think this Prime Early Access Sale will be as significant as a full-on Amazon Prime Day. It may have all the hallmarks of another two-day deals bonanza that's available exclusively for Amazon Prime members, but our gut says this will be a more reserved affair.

There's still a good chance that thousands of products will be reduced over the 48-hour sale, including many sought-after items, top tech, Amazon devices, and more. Think of it more like the Amazon Epic Daily Deals event that was run last year and had a handful of good offers throughout the month. 

Except, this time, it's more like a prelude to the retailer's Black Friday deals in November with a bunch of offers available ahead of time if you're an Amazon Prime member. Remember, you can sign up for a 30-day Amazon Prime free trial if you haven't before and this will cover you for the sale period.

When it does go live, we'll keep a close eye on the Prime Early Access Sale here at TechRadar to ensure you don't miss out on any bargains before the big end-of-year sales period is in full swing. You can follow our Amazon sale live blog for regular updates.

The annual 9.9 sales have now officially ended, but that doesn't mean the deals have to! Far from it, in fact, as we've spotted several retailers in Singapore still offering 9.9 sales, although we imagine they will come to a close very soon.

That means you don't have much time left to snap up a few bargains, the best of which in our opinion you can find below.

As a super shopping day for Singapore, Malaysia and the rest of Southeast Asia, the 9.9 sales bring bargains on tech, toys, homewares and fashion from a variety of retailers. At the moment, there are deals to be found at Shopee SG and Harvey Norman SG, along with 9.9 sales from brands including Dyson SG and Lenovo SG.

If you miss this sales event filled with big bargains, you'll have to wait for the 10.10 sales or Amazon Big Deal Days to roll around in October to score some more huge discounts. Scroll down to see the top deals and retailers offering deals in this September sale.
