If You're a Prime Member, Amazon Is Including 2 Free AirTags for Prime Day

Gizmodo6 hours ago
Apple is famously strict about discounts, and it rarely offers price drops even on the most affordable products. If you have to buy an AirTag, you'll usually pay $29 each on Apple's website.
But this Prime Day, the prices are to be believed: a 4-pack of Apple AirTags for $67, which works out at about $16 an AirTag. To put it into perspective, four AirTags from Apple would run you $116 so this Prime Day discount is essentially… half price. The deal is only being offered to Prime members but if you aren't a member, you can just opt for the free 30-day trial in order to get access. If you don't need more than one, you can purchase the individual AirTag from Amazon for $22 rather than the normal price of $29.

If you want an easy way of keeping tabs on your most valuable items, Apple's AirTag is a great choice. The AirTag is designed to help you find your keys, wallet, purses, backpack, or whatever you want to keep tabs on. It's as simple to pair an AirTag as it is to say: just bring it close to your iPhone or iPad and a one-touch setup will link it to your Apple ID immediately. You can then use the Find My app to locate your item at any time.
The AirTag leverages Apple's massive Find My network and uses hundreds of millions of Apple devices to help you find lost things. When your AirTag is out of Bluetooth range, it can still be tracked by nearby Apple devices with communication encrypted and anonymous to maintain your information security. Your location data will never be transferred or stored on the AirTag itself.
Precision Finding is another major advantage: It uses Ultra Wideband technology to take you directly to your lost item with compatible iPhone models. To find your keys throughout the house, you can make a sound from the internal speaker in the AirTag or ask Siri. If you've lost something in an airport or a coffee shop, you can put the AirTag in Lost Mode to receive a notification the instant it gets detected by another device on the Find My network.
The AirTag is meant to last with a replaceable battery that still works after over a year and an IP67 rating for water and dust protection. That is, you can forget about rain, spills, or everyday bumps and drops. It's very small and light so you can stick it in a wallet, attach it to your keys or stash it in your bag without it adding bulk.
At $67 for a 4-pack, this Prime Day deal is the best opportunity you'll find to upgrade (better than during Black Friday) your tracking game.

3 HELOC moves to make before the next Fed rate cut

Homeowners considering a HELOC should be prepared to make certain strategic moves now, before the next formal Fed rate cut. Getty Images/iStockphoto While there's little expectation that the Federal Reserve will issue a rate cut when the central bank meets again on July 29 and July 30, there is a growing likelihood of a rate reduction to be issued when the central bank meets again in September. And that will be a positive for borrowers, many of whom have been saddled with higher rates (and borrowing costs) in recent years for everything from personal loans to credit cards and mortgages. Home equity loans and home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) have not been immune to this trend, although both are lower than many alternative borrowing options now. A HELOC, in particular, could be one of the smarter ways to borrow currently, thanks to a variable interest rate subject to change monthly. Should the Fed formally cut rates or, potentially even before then, lenders could reduce their HELOC rates, making this an even more affordable way to borrow money right now. But that doesn't mean prospective borrowers should become complacent, either. While waiting for the next Fed rate cut, there are some strategic moves these prospective borrowers should consider making now. Below, we'll detail three of them. Start by seeing how low a HELOC rate you'd currently qualify for here. 3 HELOC moves to make before the next Fed rate cut Don't sit idly while waiting for the next Fed rate cut to secure a lower HELOC rate offer. Instead, consider making the following three moves now: Check your credit report (and score) The lowest HELOC rates and best terms will be reserved for those homeowners with clean credit reports and good credit scores. But when was the last time you checked both? Consider starting your HELOC borrowing journey here by reviewing your credit report for any errors or inconsistencies. And take a closer look at your credit score for ways to boost it as high as you can. Good credit practices now can both improve your score and set you up for more favorable HELOC offers, perhaps as soon as this summer. Compare your current HELOC options here now. Shop for lenders besides your current one You don't need to use your current mortgage lender to secure your HELOC and you may not want to if competitors offer affordable rates and fewer fees. But you won't know which offers what until you take the time to shop around. And, yes, the rates you get quoted for now are not likely to be the ones you'll be offered post-Fed rate cut. But you'll establish a baseline compiled of inexpensive and expensive lenders, so you'll know which ones to contact first as a rate cut becomes more likely. Calculate your repayment costs It will be impossible to calculate your HELOC repayment costs with precision, thanks to that changing interest rate. But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't do the math against a series of realistic interest rate scenarios, either. After all, your home will function as collateral here, so it's critical that repayments match your budget, now and into the future. Consider, then, calculating your costs against what's available right now and what could be available long-term. Remember that HELOC draw periods can last up to 10 years, so it makes sense to do the calculations based on a variety of rates. And don't forget that, for a HELOC, interest-only payments are typically required during that initial draw period. The bottom line The above list is not exhaustive as each homeowner will be approaching the HELOC borrowing process with unique needs and goals. Many, however, would benefit from starting with a look at their credit health before moving on to shopping for lenders and calculating repayment costs. By taking these steps now, before a formal Fed rate cut is made official, homeowners can both improve their credit standing and better position themselves as an attractive borrower when they do formally submit a HELOC application.

You can never have too many chargers lying around the house, and Amazon's Prime Day sale is a great chance to grab some extras at a solid price. This two-piece Belkin bundle includes the charging cable and a 30W wall adapter, and you can grab it for a record-low $15, which is $20 off the usual price. But discounts can come and go at a moment's notice during these major shopping events, so you may want to get your order in soon. This deal includes a durable USB-C to USB-C cable, as well as a slim USB-C wall adapter that can deliver up to 30W of fast charging power to phones, tablets and even larger devices like the new Nintendo Switch 2. It even has Programmable Power Supply tech, which means it will automatically adjust the output, so it won't overcharge your devices. And if there is any damage caused by charging, Belkin will cover up to $2,500 for the first two years. Plus, it has a slim profile and foldable prongs that make it a great option for travelers. Why this deal matters You don't have to spend hundreds on a new TV or laptop to take advantage of the Prime Day savings. Everyday essentials like this Belkin charger -- available for a record-low price -- are also a great way to make the most of this sale.

Sony's monster ULT Field 5 speaker just got its first big discount in the Prime Day sales — save $120

You're not short of options if you're looking for a portable party speaker. There are plenty of options out there, but there's something about the Sony ULT Field 4 that sets it apart and makes it stand out. Perhaps it's the more subtle lighting to the more straightforward style, but it just feels more mature than your typical party speaker fare. There's also an unbeatable deal on the speaker at the moment. There's a $130 saving on the ULT Field 5, making the speaker just $198 at Amazon. That's the new lowest price for the speaker. The Sony ULT Field 5 is the goldilocks of the line. It's not too big, so you can easily move it around. It's not too small and sounds massive for outdoor gatherings. It's just right. The lights are cool, and the extra bass modes are a welcome addition. I scored it 4 stars in my review, thanks to its good battery life and solid sound. This saving is a monster, getting the speaker a new lowest price. When I reviewed the ULT Field 5, I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. After all, it's a large party speaker that would usually put bass and flashing lights at the top of the priorities list — something I'm generally not a massive fan of. But when it arrived, I found a more subdued party speaker. The lights weren't very in your face, and it didn't scream "LOOK AT ME, I'M FOR PARTIES" when I pulled it from its packaging. In use, I found a Bluetooth speaker that prioritizes sound quality over many other Bluetooth party speakers. There's loads of control to the bass, which is always welcome, and the ULT button enhances the low end beyond "make the low end louder." The rest of the package is excellent, too. It's built exceptionally well, doesn't weigh too much, and includes a carry strap to make it more portable. The Sony Music app is helpful, and the 24 hours of battery life on tap means it will last any party you might bring it to. Party mode, which connects to other ULT series speakers, is another welcome feature. It ranks alongside the best Bluetooth speakers available right now, and this deal makes it significantly more affordable than before.
