Just days remain to save big on a Pixel 9a
Why you should buy the Pixel 9a (or wait for the Pixel 10)
By now in the Google Pixel 9 series cycle, if you've been interested in the phone you probably know exactly why. Here's a brief refresher only. In our Pixel 9a review we were blown away by the simplicity and joy of the phone's responsiveness, great battery life, and 'super slimline' body that does away with the camera bump. Comparing the Pixel 9a vs the Pixel 9 wasn't as cut and dry as expected either, and at the end of the day we called it a 'close call.' In our early assessment of the Pixel 9a vs the iPhone 16e (Apple's budget-tier phone of the same generation) we actually gave the award to the 9a for its 'beefier' battery, longer software support window (7 years), and it's lower standard price (only made sweeter by this deal).
If you're ready for the Pixel 9a and want it at this great deal price, tap the button below. Again, it's going to be $499 for the long haul, but now is your last chance to get this introductory deal offer that takes $100 off the price and moves it down to just $399. If you decided that you don't want the Pixel 9a or missed the offer (it is ending really soon) you can check out these other phone deals or check back in a few days as we learn more about the Pixel 10.

Why Morgan Stanley Thinks Apple (AAPL) Shares Could Be Turning the Corner
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is one of the AI Stocks Making Headlines This Week. One of the most notable analyst calls on Friday, August 15, was for Apple Inc. Morgan Stanley reiterated the stock as 'Overweight' stating that Apple shares appear to be 'turning a corner.' The optimism comes after stronger-than-expected iPhone sales drove an upward revision in September-quarter production plans. 'We are turning more bullish — forward iPhone unit/revenue growth expectations are still relatively muted, many of the same factors that got us bullish last July remain, we're past peak tariff risk…' The firm's Greater China technology hardware team raised their September quarter iPhone build estimate to 54M units, or flat year-over-year, from previous call for 50Million. The raise has been due to better than expected iPhone sell-through in the June quarter that reduced iPhone channel inventory. A busy sidewalk filled with people using Apple devices like iPhones, iPads and Apple Watches. Moreover, iPhone 16, calendar 2025 second half iPhone 17 builds remain unchanged at 80M-85M units, the analysts added. 'We think the Apple story could be turning the corner,' stated the bank, pointing to cited 'elongated replacement cycles,' 'pent-up iPhone demand,' 'structural gross margin tailwinds,' and easing tariff and regulatory headwinds. The firm has an Overweight rating and $240 price target on the stock. With institutions 'more underweight Apple than any other megacap tech stock' and hedge funds 'biased neutral to short,' Morgan Stanley said the company is 'one potential AI partnership away from breaking out.' Apple is a technology company known for its consumer electronics, software, and services. While we acknowledge the potential of AAPL as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.

TeraWulf stock jumps more than 10% as Google boosts stake in datacenter operator
TeraWulf stock rallied more than 10% after Google hiked its stake in the bitcoin miner and datacenter operator as it funds an expansion of its Lake Mariner, New York, facility. As part of the deal, Google will offer up to $1.4 billion in additional backstop, bringing its total to about $3.2 billion. It hikes Google's stake in TeraWulf to 14% from 8% and enables the company to buy about 32.5 million shares of the company's stock. CEO Paul Prager said in a release that the agreement solidifies the company's "strategic alignment with Google" to help build advanced artificial intelligence infrastructure. Last week, shares skyrocketed after the company inked two 10-year computing deals with AI cloud provider Fluidstack to offer more than 200 megawatts of capacity at its Lake Mariner datacenter space in Western New York. Shares are up about 90% over the last week. "This is a game changer in the industry," Prager told CNBC's "Power Lunch" last week. "If you have quality energy infrastructure and a management team and folks on the ground that understand how to extract value for it, this is the time, Lake Mariner is the place." Monday's announcement hikes critical IT load to more than 360 MW, with Fluidstack exercising an option for another 160 MW at Lake Mariner. TeraWulf also said the deal equals $6.7 billion in contracted revenue and could reach as much as $16 billion through lease extensions. Operations are expected to start in the second half of 2026. "Fluidstack's decision to expand so soon after our initial agreement speaks volumes about the quality, readiness, and scalability of our infrastructure," TeraWulf CTO Nazar Khan said in a release. Separately, TeraWulf also said it will offer $400 million in convertible senior notes due in 2031.
