Every day, there are tons of sales to shop — especially at Amazon. (Psst! Check out the retailer's "Today's Deals" section if you don't believe me.) But, of course, not every deal is a noteworthy one. That's why I spend hours each day dutifully perusing sale pages and checking prices to find the markdowns that are actually legit, including products on sale for their lowest price ever and items that rarely get discounted. With that in mind: Today's best sales are pretty sweet! You can score a $200 price chop on an Apple MacBook Air 2024. You can also nab a cozy Patagonia fleece jacket for over half off, a Stanley IceFlow Flip Straw Tumbler for 35% off and Beats headphones for half price. Seriously, these deals are so good, even a pro like me is excited about them! I've already ordered the aforementioned cans in blue and this oversized, under-priced hoodie. Keep scrolling to check out all the top deals of the day.
Trust us: This doesn't happen often. Apple's latest MacBook Air laptop is on sale for nearly 20% off at Amazon with the on-page coupon. A few quick highlights: This model has a 13.6-inch liquid retina display and weighs only 2.7 pounds. Its speed and performance come courtesy of Apple's latest M3 chip. The Air also boasts 8GB of unified memory, 256GB of storage and up to 18 hours of battery life. Plus, it's marked down in all four colors. For a little more dough, you can upgrade the storage and RAM.
"This is my first Mac, and I couldn't be happier with the transition from PC," said one shopper. "The MacBook Air works great so far — it's fast, lightweight and has an incredibly sleek design. The M3 chip handles everything smoothly, and the display is stunning. It's intuitive to use, even for someone new to macOS. Highly recommend it for anyone considering making the switch!"
Warm up in this customer-loved fleece zip-up jacket from Patagonia. You can wear it over a T-shirt, layer it over a turtleneck or wear it under a winter parka. But first, the really good news: You can get it for 50% off in five colors.
One five-star fan said: "This fleece is a must-have for my comfy clothes-loving people. It's the perfect baggy, relaxed fit, so soft and comfy, and somehow always keeps you the perfect temp. I have been wearing this fleece nonstop since buying it. Took the time to write this because I have multiple Patagonia pieces, including other fleece jackets, but I just really love this one."
If you prefer a bottle with a built-in straw, Stanley's IceFlow is a good choice — and how wintry is this design? This Dick's-exclusive color is 20% off (along with a few other exclusive shades) right now. This water bottle also features a top handle that makes it easy to take on the go.
"I have multiple Stanley tumblers and I loved this new collection," said one shopper. "I decided to try out the IceFlow bottle and I love it. I purchased the Icicle Gloss [pictured] and it is a beautiful baby pink, not the lilac that the color online shows. I also love the iridescent detailing."
Beats go on sale from time to time, but this is a particularly great price on the brand's latest over-ear headphones. Here are the highlights: They're wireless, foldable, durable and pump out up to 50 hours of pristine audio on a single charge. And you'll be happy to learn that if you forget to juice 'em up, a quick 10-minute charge gives you up to five hours of playback.
"Love the sound," confirmed one shopper. "The charging speed is amazing and the battery lasts as promised. Super easy to pair with the phone. The quality is awesome!"
Hate vacuuming? Get a robot to do it for you while it's on sale for its lowest price ever! Some highlights: It cleans in neat rows thanks to Smart Navigation features. (Think more precision, less bumper cars.) You'll get up to two hours of cleaning on a single charge, and if it isn't done when the charge runs out, it will pick up where it left off after some rest. And it can go just about anywhere: Use it on carpet, tile or hardwood floors.
This little robovac has over 34,000 five-star reviews on Amazon. "Love the job this Roomba does," said one reviewer. "I was shocked at how much dust/debris it picked up in a room I thought was clean. Charging is easy, cleaning is relatively easy, and the machine is relatively quiet compared to a regular vacuum."
This long puffer vest is warm and chic! It falls just above the knees, so it's great to wear with leggings and a long-sleeved top on a crisp day. However, on really cold days, you could also layer it under your parka for added warmth. FYI, the hood is detachable.
"Slimming," wrote a rave reviewer. "I love this vest and how it fits. Flattering in the middle and flairs out on the bottom. Pretty warm for a vest."
This lightweight, refreshing and fast-absorbing cream delivers a dewy glow while tightening and depuffing the skin. It contains collagen to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, niacinamide to control your skin's oil production and minimize pores, and squalane to lock in moisture and hydrolyzed elastin to boost hydration.
"Wow," a five-star fan raved. "This is by far one of my favorite collagen face jellies ever. I have mature skin and it is instantly hydrating and lasts over 24 hours. There is a slight stickiness to it when you first put it on, but once it's settled in, you see an immediate plump and glow to the skin. This is a definite purchase and great value. The jar will last quite a long time, 'cause you really don't need that much. A little goes a long way."Got your W-2/1099 recently and realized that you're gonna need some help with your taxes? Grab this deluxe software while it's 30% off. It can help you ensure you're filing accurately and maximize your deductions. For an extra fee, TurboTax can provide live tax advice by connecting you with an expert for one-on-one assistance. (Just note that this software is for download only. Once you purchase it, you'll receive a link to download it to your computer in a few easy steps.)
"We received our W-2s digitally and early this year, so we decided to buy this TurboTax download and go ahead and file," said one customer. "We like how TurboTax imports our information from last year when we filed. That saves some time typing. I like how it updates your estimated return or if you have to pay, how much as you go, filling out the information. Including state filing is helpful too for those of us living in states that have income tax."
This hoodie is a dream to snuggle up in! The oversized fit makes it easy to wear with leggings, but also provides a comfy, cool style. Right now, it's up to 35% off in a range of colors, including neutrals like gray and black. More than 1,700 Amazon shoppers have rated it five out of five stars, too.
"Best hoodie ever," said one reviewer. "Fits great, super soft and warm. Compared to my $70 name-brand hoodie, it's definitely better for the price. I got three more in different colors. So cute!"
This driver kit comes with two cordless speed transmissions, both offering plenty of power. When you need to know for sure that something is securely attached, you'll be happy you have this tool.
"I purchased these to replace an old 12-volt power driver to put up hurricane shutters here in Florida recently. These drivers are just miles above in power, battery life and functionality," said one user. "I was able to put up all of my shutters on a single charge of a single battery on the entire house without any noticeable drop in performance. The impact driver is surprisingly powerful for its size. This is my first battery-powered impact driver and I can't figure out why I waited so long to get one."
Head outside in Amazon's top-selling hiking pants for women while they're 22% off for a limited time. This cargo style has plenty of pockets to all the essentials, it has drawstrings on the ankles and it comes in three lengths so you can find your perfect fit. The pants also come in over 10 colors.
"These were perfect for my hike on Mount Rainier!" said one fan. "Breathable, comfortable, and waterproof as advertised."

This AI ETF Could Turn $10,000 Into $40,000 by 2035
It's becoming clearer that artificial intelligence is going to have a meaningful impact on the economy over time. Investors that want diversified exposure to the AI trend should consider this top ETF that has produced a monster 414% total return in the past 10 years. While there continues to be a lot of excitement about AI in the near term, it's important that investors have the patience to focus on the next decade and beyond. 10 stocks we like better than Invesco QQQ Trust › There's no denying it -- artificial intelligence (AI) is likely going to have a profound impact on the world over the long term. Entire industries could be altered. It's no wonder management teams are increasingly focused on ways to better position themselves for long-term success. From an investment perspective, perhaps it's starting to make sense that your portfolio should have some exposure to AI. Luckily, investors don't necessarily need to pick individual stocks if they want to benefit from the trend. There's one top AI exchange-traded fund (ETF) that could turn $10,000 into $40,000 by 2035. Continue reading to learn more about how to supercharge your portfolio for future success. In the last 10 years, the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ: QQQ) has generated a total return of 414% (as of June 3). This means that a $10,000 investment made in June 2015 would be worth $51,400 today. I don't think anyone in their right mind would complain with that kind of fantastic result. Even better, the expense ratio of 0.20% is a minimal cost to bear for that type of gain. There's no guarantee that past returns will repeat themselves going forward. Let's assume that there is a slowdown. Even so, I wouldn't be surprised if investors who put the same $10,000 in this ETF today see a fourfold gain in the next decade, resulting in a 15% annualized return. There's a lot of talk about how the stock market's current valuation is expensive. But consider that this has been the general narrative for a very long time. Yet that hasn't prevented equity markets from marching higher. The rise of passive investing, ongoing economic expansion, and dominance of tech-driven enterprises have all played a part. I'm fairly confident these trends will continue. The Invesco QQQ Trust can be considered a top AI ETF, even though it contains 100 stocks in total. There is heavy concentration among the top positions, many of which have a meaningful AI focus. The so-called hyperscalers, most notably Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet, combined represent 18.9% of the Invesco QQQ Trust's asset base. These dominant companies have leading cloud computing platforms that offer a range of AI tools to their customers. They're collectively planning to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on capital expenditures in 2025 in an effort to bolster their technical infrastructure to better position themselves for an AI future. We can't forget about Nvidia, the biggest beneficiary thus far of the AI boom. It provides the graphics-processing units that power AI data centers, posting unbelievable revenue and profit growth. It's the second-largest holding in the Invesco QQQ Trust. Other top positions are Apple, Meta Platforms, Netflix, and Tesla. There's no doubt that AI has and will keep impacting these businesses in some way as well. Investing correctly means having patience. While the AI craze has definitely made some investors rich in a short period of time, that's the wrong mindset to have. When buying the Invesco QQQ Trust, it's critical to keep the attention on the next decade and beyond. AI has the ability to revolutionize many parts of our economy, and this will all take time to play out. As of this writing, the Invesco QQQ Trust trades 2% off its peak. It might be tempting to wait for a bigger pullback to put money to work. However, I believe this is a flawed approach. It's a smart idea to invest early and often, letting compounding work its magic. Investing in this top AI ETF could work wonders for your portfolio between now and 2035. Before you buy stock in Invesco QQQ Trust, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Invesco QQQ Trust wasn't one of them.

iPhone users say Mail app is suddenly freezing with iOS 18.5 — here's a fix you can try
Since Apple rolled out iOS 18.5, a growing number of iPhone users have reported issues with accessing their inbox as the Mail app is getting stuck on a blank white screen. Several comments on Reddit and the Apple Support Community describe being unable to view emails in their inboxes as the app is either glitchy or unresponsive. The underlying cause remains unclear, but the issues don't appear to be tied to any specific iPhone model, suggesting it could be a software-related problem tied to iOS 18.5 or the Mail app itself. Interestingly, reports of this Mail app issue have only been cropping up in the past few days, while iOS 18.5 went live last month. iOS 18.5 added a few notable features like screen time notifications and a new Pride-themed wallpaper, but its updates for the Apple Mail app could be causing the issues. With iOS 18.5, Apple brought back the "All Mail" inbox view and added the option to hide contact photos from the Mail app to make your inbox less distracting. Apple has not officially acknowledged the issue, and the company's System Status page does not indicate any problems with the Mail app. But while there's no official fix yet, some users said restarting their iPhones solved the issue, but only temporarily. Others have had luck with force-closing the app or disabling the keyboard's auto-correction to get it working again. Another affected user with an iPhone XR running iOS 18.5 was told by Apple Support to try resetting the phone's network settings, which seemed to do the trick, PC Mag reports. To do this on your iPhone, head to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset [Device] > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Until Apple acknowledges the issue and provides a fix, affected users should contact Apple support for assistance in the meantime.

Apple Prepares To Cancel The Classic MacBook Pro
New MacBook Pro laptops are displayed during Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference 2023. (Photo by ... More JOSH EDELSON/AFP via Getty Images) As Tim Cook prepares to open the Worldwide Developer Conference next week, countless Apple fans are getting ready for new life to be breathed into their hardware. There will be something for everybody, from iPhones and iPads to Apple Watches and MacBook Pro laptops. Yet there will be some let down by the next version of macOS. It's worth noting that Apple is refreshing the numbering system across all of its operating systems, so the next version of macOS will be macOS 26, and the moniker naming looks set to continue with macOS Tahoe. Apple continues to offer multi-year support across its hardware, including the Mac platform in general and the MacBook laptops in particular. And this is where things get awkward for the laptop owners. The support window for the MacBook Pro is expected to reach back as far as the 2019 MacBook Pro. That passes an important rubicon. At that point, the Mac family was still running on x86-based Intel hardware. The ARM-based Apple Silicon arrived at the end of 2020, with the M1 MacBook Pro, M1 MacBook Air, and M1 Mac Mini. Apple Silicon offered a significant leap in performance, power and efficiency. That Apple can support the M1 chipset some five years down the line and bring the full range of new tools, including the latest generative AI suite, should not come as a surprise. Yet Apple still plans to support the older, slower and inefficient Intel MacBook Pro models. How much can Apple offer the older laptops? It's clear for MacBook Air owners still running Intel-powered Airs. The MacBook Air from 2020, the last with the Intel Core chipset, will be dropped, leaving only Apple Silicon powered MacBook Air models supported by macOS Tahoe and the versions that follow. It's less clear for the MacBook Pro. At the very least, Apple should offer security updates to the laptops, but whether the latest apps and utilities are offered remains to be seen. Given the demands placed on the hardware, it's likely to be a limited subset of those available to Apple Silicon Macs. Consumers using third-party apps will already be familiar with the 'unsupported' error messages on apps that are exclusively for Apple Silicon Macs) a list that is growing longer by the day), and more demanding apps such as Photoshop are asking for so much that the Intel Mac are being left behind, no matter what Cupertino is offering. It's unfortunate that no laptop can last forever. While Apple's support window is rarely specified for Macs, six years of updates is welcome, yet feels short for an Apple product. This is the downside of the 2020 move from Intel to ARM; Apple gained a much more powerful platform, but was left having to support the older platform for a polite number of years. That support is coming to an end. The consumer-focused MacBook Air has a hard stop coming up. At the same time, the professionally focused MacBook Pro will squeeze out another year or two, which will be welcomed by those using the laptop in a production environment, but Tim Cook has put the platform on notice. The MacBook Pro that many knew and loved is coming to the end of its story. Now read the latest MacBook Pro, macOS and WWDC headlines in Forbes' weekly Apple news digest...
