If you've been hunting for tech deals beyond TVs, the past few weeks have been a bit of a wasteland. But these extended sales can help you push through into spring. Soon, warmer days will come, and you'll be glad you grabbed that smartwatch or pair of AirPods while they were on sale.
Apple iPad 10th Gen ($269, originally $349): This iPad is one of the best tablets you can buy, period. While we've seen this model for slightly cheaper, this is still a steal for the quality and performance you get — especially with features like the A14 Bionic chip, 10-hour battery life and that gorgeous Retina display.
Apple AirPods Pro 2 ($199, originally $249): Offering premium sound, seamless connectivity and a comfortable, all-day fit, these fan-favorite buds are perfect for anyone looking to upgrade their audio game.
Apple Watch Series 10 ($329, originally $429): Planning to get serious about your workout regimen before summer? Snag yourself one of these. Packed with features such as a brighter display than previous models, advanced health tracking (including ECG and sleep monitoring) and seamless integration with your Apple devices, it's perfect for anyone looking to stay connected and monitor their fitness goals.
Hisense 55-Inch QLED 4K CanvasTV ($698, originally $1,000): This QLED TV delivers eye-popping clarity and vivid colors, offering lifelike, immersive visuals for movies, sports and other high-quality content, and when turned off, it transforms into a work of art. At this price, you're getting a premium viewing experience that's hard to beat.
Vizio 50-inch 4K Smart TV ($216, originally $270): Still streaming shows on that 32-inch, 720p antique? If so, why? TVs have gotten insanely cheap, so upgrading to something that looks great won't even come close to breaking the bank these days. Take this Vizio, for example. A few years ago, this TV would easily cost $500 (that's exactly how much I paid for mine). Today, it barely cracks $200, and that's with 16 times the amount of pixels as 720p.
There are two types of people in this world: those who love to cook, and those who have the local takeout pizza place on speed dial. No shame in falling into either camp, but we'd bet those in the latter group might enjoy preparing food more if they owned the right tools. We're talking cookware that doesn't stick, knives that are actually sharp and maybe even an air fryer to keep from having to wait for the oven to preheat. Well, all of those things — and more — happen to be on sale, so go ahead and flex those culinary muscles without overexerting your wallet.
Henckels 20-Piece Knife Set ($160, originally $440): This No. 1 bestselling collection has every type of blade a home cook could need, so if the ones in your drawer can barely pierce through a tomato anymore, you'll want to add this to your cart while it's down to a near-all-time low.
HexClad 6-Piece Hybrid Cookware Set ($400, originally $532): Gordon Ramsay approves of this brand, and you know how particular the celebrity chef is. The pans' hybrid construction combines the best qualities of stainless steel, cast iron and nonstick for a one-of-a-kind product that, according to Ramsay, "is highly versatile and cooks exceptionally well." With this starter set, you'll get the 12-inch, 10-inch and 8-inch Hybrid pans, plus lids for each — and for 25% off.
Ninja Creami ($169, originally $199): Keep the ice cream party going all spring and summer with this top-rated appliance, which makes churning out customizable frozen treats a breeze. It's on sale for less at Walmart than it is at Amazon ... (it's also Yahoo editor-approved — check out our review for more).
Keurig K-Express Essentials ($35, originally $59): Rise and grind! Just kidding — with this Keurig, making coffee is as simple as filling the tank with water, popping in a K-Cup of your choice and pressing a button. Let's face it, mornings can be hectic, and the last thing you need as you're rushing around is an involved java-making process. This speedy brewer takes all the work out, and it's down to an insane $35 (40% off).
Instant Pot Vortex Plus Air Fryer ($136, originally $220): Air fryers are nothing new, but this one has two drawers for cooking multiple things simultaneously, saving you lots of time. Another nifty feature? The ClearCook windows, along with an interior oven light, allow you to keep an eye on your grub. In fact, this was one of the traits we called out in our roundup of the best air fryers: "All of its functions — from air-frying to roasting — worked and worked well. We also appreciated the clear basket panels for watching our food come along."
Nugget Ice Maker ($130, originally $300): My fridge, like many fridges, came with an ice maker, but it never seems to be able to make enough for my family of three. This ice maker is small enough to fit on your counter and even features a self-cleaning setting.
The clocks have sprung forward and spring is nearly here, so now is a great time to spruce up your home, inside and out. Bath mats that will keep your feet warm and dry as soon as you step out of the shower, an electric scrubber that practically does the cleaning for you, chairs and lights that will quickly turn your backyard patio into a springtime oasis ... these sales have it all.
Olanly Extra Soft Absorbent Chenille Bath Rug ($9, originally $15): Who wants to step out of the shower dripping wet and have the first thing your feet touch be a cold tile floor? With this markdown, you can grab one of these for less than the cost of most towels.
Khelfer Electric Spin Scrubber ($28 with coupon, originally $50): It's 2025, why are you using elbow grease to clean your house when you could just pick up one of these bad boys and wake up tomorrow sans back pain — especially now that it is almost 50% off?
Jionjoy Mid-Century Modern Accent Chair ($110, originally $700): For lovers of mid-century modern and Scandinavian designs, this chair checks all the boxes.
Costway 6-Cube Bookcase ($113, originally $340): At 67% off, this sleek storage shelf is a steal that will class up any room and has plenty of volume to organize your home.
Tangkula Set of 2 Folding Dining Chairs ($160, originally $260): These folding dining chairs are easily stored away when you don't need them, yet look like proper dining chairs, so your guests won't be sitting around on metal folding chairs you got from your wedding registry back in 1999.
Whether the cold has done a number on your skin or you're tired of spending a fortune on in-office teeth whitening treatments, you're in luck: There's no shortage of deals on all your beauty must-haves. For starters, this teeth-whitening pen is designed for sensitive chompers, and it's over half off. Eyes looking a little tired? Wake 'em up with this top-rated cooling gel, on sale for just slightly more than a double-shot latte.
Benefit Cosmetics Floratint Lip and Cheek Stain ($13, originally $26): Dab a few drops of this desert rose-hued stain on your cheeks or in the center of your lips and you'll be left with a pretty, natural flush.
Crest 3D Whitestrips Sensitive At-Home Teeth Whitening Kit ($33, originally $50): Reviewers (and this writer) can attest that this kit delivers on its pro-level, smile-brightening claims. It promises to remove up to 15 years' worth of stains from your chompers. Plus, it's designed with sensitive smiles in mind.
CeraVe Eye Repair Cream ($14, originally $20): This top-selling cream contains three restorative ceramides, moisturizing hyaluronic acid and soothing niacinamide to combat dryness and reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness.
Baebody Eye Gel ($20 with coupon, originally $35): Fight dark circles, puffiness, wrinkles and bags with just one product — how's that for a multitasker?
For many of us, one of the worst things about coming home after a vacation is remembering how un-hotel-like our bed is. But it doesn't have to be that way — and you don't have to spend big bucks to upgrade your sleep situation. Brands like Tempur-Pedic, Nectar and Oprah's beloved Cozy Earth are currently marked down so you can create the five-star bed of your dreams. From supportive mattresses and toppers to luxurious sheets, you won't want to snooze on these sales.
Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Adapt Mattress Topper, Queen ($230, originally $419): Tired of waking up with aches and pains? A topper is a fabulous option when you're not quite ready to part ways with your less-than-cloudlike mattress, or simply don't want to shell out tons of money for a new one. There's a lot to love about this model, from its lofty 3-inch height to its machine-washable cover. But what really sets it apart is the fact that it's constructed from Tempur-Pedic's signature memory foam. This adaptive material was designed to conform to your body's contours for custom comfort while minimizing motion transfer for a more restful experience.
Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set, Queen ($265, originally $331): This ethereally soft, breathable set is one of Oprah's Favorite Things, so you know it's good — and Yahoo editors adore it too (check out our review for more). Plus, save up to 25% sitewide.
Brooklinen Luxe Sateen Pillowcases, Standard, 2-Pack ($28, originally $59): Not only will these silky-smooth sleeves elevate the look of your bed, but they'll also feel divine against your skin. Save over 50% on this gorgeous pair and more from the dreamy linen brand.
Nectar Classic Memory Foam Mattress, Queen ($649, originally $1,664): How long have you been sleeping on your current mattress? No judgment, but if you're due for an upgrade, here's an option that's on the more budget-friendly side — though with over 40,000 perfect ratings, you wouldn't know it. It's 60% off!
Alwyn Home Sleep Bathild 3-Inch Mattress Topper, Queen ($94, originally $250): Snagging a queen-size mattress topper for under $100 might sound too good to be true, but it's possible over at Wayfair. This 62%-off deal scores you a medium-firm model that adapts to your body's contours and keeps things cool and comfy for custom support.
The key to making spring cleaning feel like less of a chore is having the right gear — and if the crumbs on your floor keep accumulating because the thought of schlepping a heavy vacuum around is too much to bear, we've got you. Want to upgrade to a lightweight stick vac? We found options from brands like DeWalt and Bissell on sale. Stick, wet/dry, robot: No matter which type you prefer, you'll want to snap it up while you can save big.
Onson Robot Vacuum Cleaner, 2-in-1 Mop Combo ($102, originally $360): My first robot vacuum was a game-changer when it came to keeping the main floor of my house clean. I turned it on at night, and those pesky crumbs and pet hair tumbleweeds just disappeared. But there are some messes that take a bit more than just vacuuming. No worries — this robot will do the mopping for you too.
Inse Cordless Stick Vacuum ($80, originally $270): We think it's pretty "Inse"-ane that such a sleek-looking vac could cost so little, but this bestseller proves you don't have to break the bank to upgrade your cleaning appliance. It runs for up to 45 minutes and weighs just over 8 pounds, making it a breeze to bring from room to room.
Bissell Little Green Portable Carpet Cleaner ($88, originally $124): Attention, pet parents: Before you call your local carpet cleaning service, you'll want to check out this under-$100 Walmart bestseller, which has powerful suction to help eliminate stubborn stains (and their accompanying odors). We've often seen it on sale for $98, so grab it while it's $10 less.
DeWalt 20V Max Cordless Wet-Dry Vacuum ($99, originally $159): Portable? Check. Cordless? Check. Powerful? Check. This small yet mighty handheld meets all of our requirements and then some, thanks to its versatility (as in, sucking up both wet and dry messes), compact size (just 8 pounds) and three-year warranty.
Kuose Cordless Vacuum Cleaner ($96, originally $267): Who says you have to spend hundreds of dollars for a clean house? This cordless vac features three suction modes, can last up to 50 minutes on a charge (who wants to be vacuuming longer than that anyway?), has multiple attachments and will work on all types of flooring.
Soon enough, it'll be time to put your bulky puffer back in storage and get out the sandals, shorts and sundresses. Ring in the slowly rising temps with lightweight knits, flattering jeans and crossbody bags that are just as great for running errands as they are for date night and beyond.
Fantaslook Plaid Flannel Shirt ($17, originally $70): This versatile oversized shirt looks great over a T-shirt or tank top — or all on its own with your favorite pair of jeans or leggings. You can choose from 17 colors.
Hoka Bondi 8 Running Shoes ($116, originally $165): These sock-like kicks have a super thick insole and weigh less than 9 ounces, making them a great option for anyone whose feet need ultra-plush cushioning. This model is one of Hoka's most popular, so stock is dwindling fast.
London Fog Belted Trench Coat ($150, originally $250): This classic trench will be a wardrobe staple season after season, but it'll be especially handy during the upcoming April showers.
Kate Spade Madison Convertible Shoulder Bag ($139, originally $349): Available in three colors, this leather shoulder bag will work no matter what outfit you choose to pair it with. Plus, despite its relatively small size, reviewers say it's deceptively roomy.

Amazon and US rivals navigate volatile tariff landscape
The upcoming Amazon Prime Day 2025 arrives the United States amid widespread concern over shifting US-China trade policies, with tariff uncertainty casting a shadow over pricing, supply chains and sales strategies. Despite a temporary reduction in tariffs on Chinese imports, many e-commerce sellers and retail giants such as Amazon, Walmart and Target remain cautious ahead of one of the year's biggest online shopping events. Retail executives have repeatedly flagged the volatile tariff landscape as a top risk for their operations. Amazon's CFO Brian Olsavsky said the company's latest forecast reflects 'the general uncertainty' in global trade. His comments echoed warnings from Walmart and Best Buy leaders, who cited unpredictability around tariff levels and timing as a challenge for strategic planning. The U.S.-China tariff standoff had reached a peak earlier this year when import duties on Chinese goods soared to 145%. That prompted some brands to consider scaling back participation in Prime Day. A late-May agreement reduced those tariffs to 30%, offering temporary relief. Still, concerns remain as the legal status of tariffs continues to fluctuate, with pending court rulings expected to shape the near-term trade environment. Pattern, a commerce accelerator that works with brands across online marketplaces, reported scrambling to restock U.S. inventories after the tariff rollback. 'We were on the precipice,' said Brett Bardsley, the company's Chief International Officer, describing how airfreight and expedited shipping were used to fill gaps caused by earlier trade disruptions. For many sellers, Prime Day remains a high-stakes opportunity. More than 80% of Amazon Prime members surveyed in May indicated they plan to shop during the event—up from 68% in 2024—according to Tinuiti. Amazon is expected to stretch the sale across four days, doubling last year's duration. Still, not all brands are equally positioned. Companies heavily reliant on Chinese manufacturing are weighing whether they can offer competitive discounts while absorbing a 30% tariff. Others, like Flaus, a maker of electric flossers, say the lowered tariffs cleared the way for full Prime Day participation without raising prices—for now. Amazon has said it is pleased with the response from selling partners and is working to help them adapt. But categories like electronics, which have tighter margins and higher exposure to Chinese sourcing, may proceed cautiously. Shares in Amazon rebounded sharply in May after the tariff deal, gaining 11% for the month. That followed months of volatility tied to trade developments and investor concerns about rising costs and consumer demand. The stock remains just below a key technical buy point as of early June. While Amazon's e-commerce platform has not seen a significant rise in average selling prices, other retailers are less optimistic. Walmart's CFO John David Rainey recently warned that tariffs remain 'too high,' suggesting that shoppers could see price increases in the months ahead. The Trump administration, however, has pushed back against such claims, arguing that the current tariff policy is manageable for most businesses. Amazon's CEO Andy Jassy maintains that the company is well-positioned to gain market share during uncertain periods, citing its performance during past disruptions. Analysts say that while summer sales could see a lift from the tariff reprieve, the broader retail sector must still contend with unresolved trade tensions, inflationary pressure and shifting consumer sentiment. As the Supreme Court prepares to weigh in on the legality of current tariffs, industry watchers say retail strategies for the rest of 2025 will likely hinge on how trade policies evolve—and whether businesses can continue to absorb new costs without passing them on to consumers.

Amazon's latest big bet may flop
Science does not understand consciousness; this is an unsolved problem. Consciousness is possible with little to no intelligence, but there is no such thing as intelligence without consciousness. If you don't understand something, can you recreate it? I don't think it is likely to happen. How many neurons does an ant have? According to the University of Arizona News, a desert-harvesting ant species has about 90,000 or so brain cells. How did this question make you feel? Did it make you angry, surprised, or curious? Normally, if we are not under pressure, and there will be no negative outcome, if we are asked something we can't answer, there is no negative emotional reaction to it. Related: Veteran fund manager reboots Palantir stock price target If you are told something incorrect and genuinely understand the truth, you will not react angrily. Let's say someone tells you that the sky is brown. You might get worried about that person's health or question their intentions, but you shouldn't get angry. If a person's belief is questioned, we can expect an adverse reaction, especially if the belief is important and the argument against it is convincing. Sometimes we mix up what we know and think we know, but it is still a belief we have. When I first heard of Amazon's (AMZN) "Just Walk Out" system, I immediately saw the scene from a Silicon Valley TV show in which Jared hired a "click farm" in India to generate fake user activity for his company's website. I was convinced this Amazon system was a huge number of Indians doing the work and not an "AI." It turned out I was right. A lot of companies have been put into a tough spot by the tariff war. Amazon is no exception, and CEO Andy Jassy tried to explain how he plans to handle the situation during the company's first-quarter earnings call. "It's hard to tell what's going to happen with tariffs right now. It's hard to tell where they're going to settle and when they're going to settle. And so, a lot of what we're thinking about short and medium term actually turns out to be what we think about long-term too, which is, how do we actually have the broadest possible selection for customers at the lowest possible prices?" stated Jassy. Related: Samsung Galaxy phones add creepy AI feature It seems that the real answer is to create savings in Amazon's logistics. The company recently introduced a Vulcan robot, which, from what I've seen, is an advanced packing machine. Amazon calls it a robot because it sounds so much cooler. It is a good machine, and it probably saves the company a lot of money. After all, it can work for 20 hours straight without stopping. But it is not a robot replacing humans. It is a machine that helps them waste less time. Recently, an AI tech startup, Builder AI, backed by Microsoft, went bankrupt. They were building an AI platform that would make creating applications as "easy as ordering pizza". Even if you are not familiar with the story, you should be able to figure out where I am going with this. Real people were writing the code, not AI. This is what happens when companies start believing their marketing, and even the big ones are not immune to it. More Retail: Huge retail chain closing more stores soon (locations revealed)Struggling drugstore chain announces second bankruptcyBeloved discount grocery chain has massive US plans Amazon seems to be set in the direction of repeating the mistake of "Just Walk Out" deception. This time, it's betting it will make huge savings on logistics. Unconfirmed media reports suggest that Amazon is developing software for humanoid robots that could eventually be used in its delivery operations. According to the reports, Amazon is creating a "humanoid park" closed-course environment to test the humanoid robots before testing them on real streets. Based on this information, Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Nowak gave us his opinion. Related: Nvidia, Dell announce major project to reshape AI The analyst previously estimated that Amazon is working on automating its fulfillment costs (approximately 18.6% of retail revenue) and that every 10% of US units that go through new robotics-enabled warehouses can drive between $2 billion and $3 billion of annual savings in 2030. "New headlines support our previous views that Amazon is also taking steps to automate its shipping and last-mile logistics (which also make up 17.5% of retail revenue). The potential timing of these humanoids may admittedly be further out, but when we combine this with autonomous long-haul and last mile trucking, and drones, we see a path over the next 5-10 years where Amazon is set to be able to deliver more items to more people faster and in a more cash flow generative manner," said Nowak and his team. "This should enable AMZN to invest in price and technology to drive further share gains, while also delivering more free cash flow for shareholders." Morgan Stanley analysts maintained Amazon's overweight rating, with a price target of $250. I expect that if the "robots" launch, humans will remotely control them. Whether or not this leads to actual savings is another thing.

Major League Baseball Is Growing Again. Why Isn't Its TV Money?
TV ratings and in-game attendance are up, but the league is about to take a pay cut on its media rights. By and Hannah Miller Save Good afternoon from Los Angeles, and a special hello to those of you who watched one of the greatest tennis matches ever. Warner Bros. Discovery has gotten some grief for mishandling the NBA negotiations, among other things, but its inaugural presentation of Roland Garros was a marked improvement on recent years. Live sports has been swallowing the entertainment business for years, and it feels even more significant now. Football, once less popular than Survivor and ER, now accounts for the majority of the 100 most-watched broadcasts on TV in the US. Amazon and Comcast are cutting back on entertainment programming after splurging on basketball rights. Rupert Murdoch, often ahead of the curve, sold his Hollywood studio — and kept his news and sports businesses.
