The amazing Oura Ring 3 just hit its lowest price ever — this will sell out fast
For a limited time, you can get the Oura Ring Gen 3 on sale for $199 at Amazon. That's the same price we saw during Prime Day and an all-time price low for this excellent smart ring.
It's no longer the flagship, but the Oura Ring Gen 3 remains one of our favorite smart rings. In our Oura Ring Gen 3 review we said the Editor's Choice tracker is a must if you like tracking your fitness and health. It has sensors for your heart rate, respiratory rate, and body temperature. It also boasts a 3D accelerometer for movement detection. This deal is on the Heritage design.
The Oura Ring Gen 3 is one of the most mainstream smart rings out there, packing an array of health sensors into a discreet design. While it can track movement and exercise, sleep tracking is the Oura Ring's claim to fame.
In fact, the Oura Ring 3 helped one or our reviewers detect their sleep apnea, and it knew our fitness editor was pregnant before she did, which is pretty crazy.
It can also track blood oxygen levels, sleep stages, and Oura menstrual tracking. You can even meditate using the app and connect with partner apps like Natural Cycles and Strava. The latest upgrades now allow users to access AI to improve habits and track meals and glucose levels throughout the day.
That said, if you're big on fitness, the Oura Ring can't replace your Apple Watch. There are too many things an Apple Watch offers that the Oura Ring doesn't. The most obvious one — the Oura Ring doesn't have a display, so you can't follow your activity metrics mid-workout unless you have the Oura app open.
Regardless, the Oura Ring is still an excellent buy that you won't regret, especially at this low price. Although there are several design options to choose from, today's deal is on the Heritage option only. (It has a jagged shape that has since been discontinued). Note: The Oura Ring 4 isn't on sale, but you can see the differences in our Oura Ring 4 vs. Oura Ring 3 comparison.

My Favorite Bluetooth OBD2 Scanner Is 29% Off on Amazon Right Now
We may earn revenue from the products available on this page and participate in affiliate programs. Learn more › The latest car news, reviews, and features. An OBD2 scanner that can read your vehicle's trouble codes is a critical tool for DIYers. But even if you don't like turning wrenches yourself, it's hugely helpful to be able to get an idea of what's going on with your car when the check engine light comes on—at a minimum, it can tell you if you need to stop driving immediately or can procrastinate the repair. One of my favorite tools for this job, the BlueDriver, is the cheapest I've ever seen it on Amazon right now. See It There are a million OBD2 scanners on the market, but I like the BlueDriver because it's particularly user-friendly for non-pros. And it lets you use your phone's rich interface, rather than a tiny LCD screen, to get info. BlueDriver provides contextual information along with trouble codes, plus it's wireless. Simply plug the device into your car's diagnostic port (pretty much every U.S.-market car made after 1996 has one in the driver's footwell area), Bluetooth it to your phone, and the free app lets your car talk to you. It's compatible with iOS and Android; I use mine with an iPad because the screen's nice and large. If you're willing to go deeper on diagnostics, BlueDriver can report some live engine data. But if you just need to know if your car's about to explode or if you just have a minor issue, the app will tell you that in pretty plain language, too. As long as you have an internet connection, you can zoom straight from your trouble-code diagnostic to likely causes and repair suggestions. It's a great compromise between cheap, small OBD scanners and higher-end color-screen ones. I think I paid about $100 for mine a couple of years ago, the list price is $119.95, and if you grab this Amazon deal right now, you can pick one up for $84.95. Pro tip for those who are really frugal: Many auto parts stores will read your engine codes for free. But that's not always practical or convenient. The BlueDriver does a lot of what higher-end scanners can do at my lower cost since it uses your phone as the primary interface. And, as discussed, it provides some tips and insights to get your car working properly again. If you prefer a wired device that's self-contained and doesn't require phone pairing, the Innova 5610 is also on sale (more money, but high-quality), as well as the Topdon AD600S (horizontal interface, wider screen). We scour the web to bring you the best deals on big-name brands in tools, car parts, toys, electronics, watches, and everything else a gearhead could want.

Apple, under pressure from Trump, says it's boosting U.S. investment
Apple said Wednesday that it would expand its planned investment in the United States as it faces pressure from President Donald Trump to shift its supply chain to American soil. The splashy announcement came hours before Trump's wave of country-specific tariffs were set to go into effect. The president's levy barrage isn't over yet. He said Tuesday that shortly he will be announcing tariffs on semiconductors, which could affect iPhones, iPads, MacBooks and other popular Apple products. The announcement came as Apple CEO Tim Cook visited the White House to speak about the investment alongside Trump. The tech giant said it will manufacture the glass covers on all iPhones and Apple Watch devices sold worldwide in in the United States. Apple said manufacturing firm Corning will produce that glass at its Harrodsburg, Kentucky plant under a $2.5 billion commitment. "Apple will massively increase spending on its domestic supply chain for the iPhone, and will build the largest and most sophisticated smart glass production line in the world," Trump said. That plant has been producing glass products for over 60 years, according to a post on Corning's website. In 2021, Apple said Corning already supplied glass for iPhone, Apple Watch and iPad. Apple also said at the time that 'every generation of iPhone glass has been made' at the plant named in Wednesday's announcement. Apple supplier Applied Materials also announced that it would invest $200 million in an Arizona factory that manufactures chip-making equipment. That equipment will be used by Texas Instruments, another Apple supplier, to make some semiconductors used in Apple's products. Apple said the glass manufacturing announcement was part of a $600 billion commitment to bring parts of its supply chains to the U.S. Previously, the company had vowed to invest $500 billion over the next four years. "Apple will also build a 250,000-square-foot server manufacturing facility in Houston, and invest billions of dollars to construct data centers across the country from North Carolina to Iowa to Oregon," Trump also said. However, Wednesday's announcement doesn't mean manufacturing or assembly of any of the company's major products, such as the iPhone, iPad or MacBook, will come to the states. Most of Apple's most popular products are currently exempt from tariffs while the Commerce Department conducts a so-called Section 232 investigation to determine the national security impact of importing those products and their parts. Despite the exemptions, Apple took an $800 million hit in the last quarter from tariffs and predicted it will take another $1.5 billion hit in the next three months. In a May social media post, Trump said: 'I have long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple that I expect their iPhone's that will be sold in the United States of America will be manufactured and built in the United States, not India, or anyplace else.' Apple's investment bears some similarities to recent announcements from the president. OpenAI, Oracle and Japan's Softbank collectively pledged $500 billion to invest in building out data centers across the country to power artificial intelligence applications. But months after being announced the plans reportedly hit some snags. The three firms said they would 'immediately' begin investing but now the plans call for just one small data center in Ohio by the end of the year. A trade agreement between the Trump administration and the European Union included what they said would be $600 billion of investments in the United States and $750 billion of energy purchases. 'They gave me $600 billion, and that's a gift,' Trump said on CNBC Tuesday. 'They gave us $600 billion that we can invest in anything we want.' However, the E.U. said in a statement that European companies have only 'expressed interest in investing at least $600 billion.' The E.U. does not have any mechanism in place to incentivize those investments. Similarly, the E.U. has said $750 billion is only a projection of potential energy purchases over the next 3 years.

Apple and Corning partner to manufacture 100 percent of iPhone and Apple Watch cover glass in Kentucky
CUPERTINO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apple® and Corning today announced a major expansion of their long-standing partnership to make precision glass for Apple products. Apple is making a new $2.5 billion commitment to produce all of the cover glass for iPhone® and Apple Watch® in Corning's Harrodsburg, Kentucky, manufacturing facility. This means that 100 percent of the cover glass on iPhone and Apple Watch units sold worldwide will be made in the U.S. for the first time. Corning is creating the world's largest and most advanced smartphone glass production line at the Harrodsburg facility. Corning will now dedicate this entire facility to manufacturing for Apple, which will help increase Corning's manufacturing and engineering workforce in Kentucky by 50 percent. The two companies will also open a new Apple-Corning Innovation Center at the Harrodsburg plant. The Innovation Center will play a key role in the development and engineering of advanced materials and next-generation manufacturing platforms for Apple's future generations of products. These projects are part of Apple's broader commitment to spend and invest more than $600 billion in the U.S. economy over the next four years. This includes Apple's newly announced American Manufacturing Program (AMP), which will invest across America and incentivize global companies to onshore production and manufacture even more of Apple's critical components in the United States. 'Corning is a storied American company, and we're thrilled to work together to build the largest and most advanced production line ever created for smartphone glass,' said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. 'Thanks to the power of American manufacturing, any customer anywhere in the world who buys a new iPhone or Apple Watch will be holding precision glass made right here in Kentucky. We're grateful to the President and his administration for their support for American manufacturing, and we're excited for the innovation this investment will unlock.' 'Apple is an amazing partner for American manufacturers like us, and together, we've innovated and pushed the boundaries of what's possible,' said Wendell Weeks, Corning's CEO. 'We developed and made the glass for the very first iPhone in Harrodsburg, Kentucky, 18 years ago. With this new multibillion-dollar commitment from Apple and the lighting of our most advanced manufacturing platform, we are hiring more people and bringing 100 percent of Apple's cover glass needs for iPhone and Apple Watch to the original home of the innovation.' This announcement continues a partnership that has been in place between Apple and Corning since the launch of the original iPhone in 2007. Today, the Harrodsburg, Kentucky, facility produces high-quality glass for Apple called Ceramic Shield®. This advanced glass — the toughest in any smartphone — is the result of years of innovation by Apple and Corning engineers working closely together. Since the creation of Apple's U.S. Advanced Manufacturing Fund in 2017, Apple has invested nearly $500 million in Corning's Kentucky operations, with billions more spent on glass manufactured in the U.S. Corning also provides raw materials used by another AMP company, GlobalWafers, which will use silicon from Corning to manufacture advanced bare wafers in the U.S. for the first time. In that way, Corning also plays a key role in Apple's supply chain for producing advanced silicon chips in America. Apple has a long history of investing in the U.S., creating opportunity and driving American innovation. Today, Apple partners with thousands of suppliers across all 50 states, supporting more than 450,000 supplier and partner jobs. In the next four years, Apple plans to directly hire 20,000 people in the U.S. — the vast majority focused on R&D, silicon engineering, software development, and AI and machine learning. Apple revolutionized personal technology with the introduction of the Macintosh in 1984. Today, Apple leads the world in innovation with iPhone, iPad, Mac, AirPods, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro. Apple's six software platforms — iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, visionOS, and tvOS — provide seamless experiences across all Apple devices and empower people with breakthrough services including the App Store, Apple Music, Apple Pay, iCloud, and Apple TV+. Apple's more than 150,000 employees are dedicated to making the best products on earth and to leaving the world better than we found it.
