Instead of Making Prime Day Better, Amazon Is Making It Longer
Get ready for the most exhausting week of not-great deals starting July 8. Amazon's Prime Day is effectively becoming 'Prime Week,' and consumers online will soon be plagued with enough 'hot deals' to exhaust even the sturdiest Black Friday veteran. Instead of hosting a two-day sales extravaganza, Amazon is pushing the total days to four while promising an avalanche of timed deals exclusive to those who pony up for a Prime membership. As far as making its annual shopping holiday any more pro-consumer, that already seems to be far less important than taking over e-commerce for even longer than before. Amazon's once annual shopping event became a biannual sales spree last year, with one date booked for summertime and another that's normally slated for October. Doubling the number of site-wide sales events didn't improve the quality or honesty of the sales. It exacerbated lingering anti-consumer issues. Third-party sellers often jack up prices during sales, then offer steeper discounts to make a mere 10% discount seem like a 50% sale. We witnessed companies offer plenty of these faux markdowns during the last two Prime Days—from Expo dry erase markers to a giant ice tub. If you see any discount that promises more than 50% off, you can all but guarantee the real sale is probably closer to 10% or 20%. Those who pay the $15 a month or $140 annually for a Prime membership will have more time to shop for their deals, but we seriously doubt Amazon has upped its quality standards to make each sale less opaque. Amazon will instead offer timed 'themed daily deal drops' that only Prime members can see. Big brands like Samsung, Kiehl's, and Levi's should get special treatment, but some products will only be available for 'a limited time.' Amazon implied it will offer these deals at five-minute intervals. It will keep many deals posters busy, but there's nothing here that implies Amazon will fix its opaque shopping UI. Gizmodo has an entire guide to help you avoid your worst impulses when you'll inevitably see those sticker prices floating by July 8 through July 11. Webpages like CamelCamelCamel and phone apps like Keepa can offer better insight into how often a product goes on sale and whether you may be able to find it cheaper at a later date from Amazon or some other retailer. The other big push this year beyond timed deals is Amazon's AI 'shopping assistant' chatbot named Rufus. The bot is supposed to offer buying guides tailored to your shopping whims. For Prime Day, you should be able to ask the AI questions about deals timing and receive recommendations. We seriously doubt it will offer any clarification about how often an item goes on sale and whether it makes more sense to wait for a better deal. For example, I ask Rufus about past deals for the Meta Quest 3. The headset with 128GB of storage went on sale last July for $430 instead of $500, but the bot said it doesn't 'have real-time information on sales or discounts.' You have to remember that companies use these sales days to get rid of stock. Just a few months after last year's Quest 3 sale, Meta discontinued the 128GB model and brought the 512GB Quest 3 to $500. It's something to keep in mind if you see any tech companies offering big discounts for slightly older products. Amazon usually discounts its own Echo smart home and other Essentials products with relatively steep reductions, but the retail shopping giant itself will push its latest Echo Spot or Echo Dot devices down to or below its usual Prime Day prices—both before or during the holidays. All these anti-consumer practices didn't keep customers away, though. Amazon claimed last year's July and October events were its 'biggest ever' for those two dates, though the company didn't offer dollar amounts for either shopping event. Adobe told Bloomberg shoppers spent 11% more on Prime Day deals in July 2024 than they did in 2023. The company's quarterly earnings report after its October 2024 Prime Day claimed its net sales increased by 10% up through December compared to the same time in 2023. Amazon is simply capitalizing on consumers' obsession with cheap goods, whether or not they're actually cheap. Prime Day started as a single 24-hour event in 2015, but the fake shopping holiday started running for two days in 2017. The retail giant expanded the number of deals hours continuously in the intervening years until we were stuck with 48 hours of Prime Day in 2019. All the while, the quality of the discounts from big and small brands has diminished. The inevitable next step is for Amazon to establish even more Prime Days, maybe even a full seven-day extravaganza that will become a true idol to consumerism.

Trump family MAGAphones already hit a hang up – they can't be made in U.S. by launch date
A new line of smartphones, produced by the Trump Organization for 'real Americans,' may have already hit a snag – it is almost impossible for them to be made in the U.S. The MAGAphones are a self-branded smartphone and mobile service, though experts have pointed out that to reach the advertised price point of $499, some (if not the majority) of the component parts will likely have to be manufactured abroad – at least initially. The president's eldest sons – Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump – said on Monday that the gold colored 'T1 Phone will be available in August, while the phone plan will cost $47.45 a month. The new mobile venture will include call centers based in the United States and phones made in America, the organization said. It comes after the president has piled pressure on tech giant Apple to move its manufacturing base to the U.S. at the risk of feeling the wrath of his sweeping tariffs, introduced on so-called Liberation Day. A spokesman for the Trump Organization told The Wall Street Journal that 'manufacturing for the new T1 phone will be in Alabama, California and Florida,' though some have suggested that the device at that price point will likely come from China, at least initially. A breakdown of some of the specifications shows the new device appear to outdo Apple's latest offering – the iPhone 16 Pro Max. The MAGAphone will have a 6.8-inch AMOLED screen, which is typically made by South Korean firms Samsung and LG. For comparison, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is 6.9 inches and costs $1,199. The T1 phone claims to feature a 50-megapixel camera, compared to the Pro Max's 48-megapixels, along with two others at the back of the device and a 16-megapixel front-facing camera on the front. Apple's camera's are mainly sourced from Sony in Japan. The type of processor used to power the T1 is not mentioned in the specs, however, to be cheap enough to retail at $499 it is likely that the chips will need to be made in China or Taiwan, experts have said. Manufacturing firms MediaTek and Qualcomm both operate in the latter. CNBC notes that the memory is one area that could use American tech, with companies including Micron making such components stateside. But Samsung could be another option. 'Even when there is local manufacturing available the company will have to rely on components that are being imported from outside the US,' Jeff Fieldhack, research director at Counterpoint Research, told the outlet. Others have gone further, with Francisco Jeronimo, vice president at International Data Corporation, describing the suggestion of T1 manufacturing in the U.S. as 'completely impossible.' 'There is no way the phone was designed from scratch and there is no way it is going to be assembled in the U.S. or completely manufactured in the U.S.,' he told CNBC. Tinglong Dai, a professor of operations management and business analytics at Johns Hopkins University's Carey Business School, told WSJ that it would take 'at least five years' to fully manufacture smartphones like the T1 in the U.S. 'There's absolutely no way you could make the screen, get that memory, camera, battery, everything' in the U.S., he said.

Download these now free retro mobile games before Sega removes them
Although there has been no official announcement, Sega has revealed that it's discontinuing support for nine retro games that were ported to iOS and Android several years ago. Before that happens, the company has made all the games completely free and removed all in-app purchases, as spotted by Android Authority. The list includes the following titles, which are still available for download through Apple's and Google's mobile app stores: The discounted titles have been recently updated with a pop-up message explaining that 'support for this game will be discontinued, but you can continue playing offline!' The games were originally ported to iOS and Android through Sega's Forever program, which was discontinued in late 2023. Several years ago the company removed several games, including Phantasy Star Classics, from the Google Play and iOS app stores, and it's expected that these nine will also eventually be removed, although Sega hasn't specified when that will happen. However, any games that have already been downloaded and installed on a tablet or mobile device can still be played even after they're delisted.
