Amazon Spring Sale: The best extended deals from Apple, Dyson, iRobot and more — save up to 75%

Amazon Spring Sale: The best extended deals from Apple, Dyson, iRobot and more — save up to 75%

Yahoo01-04-2025

As much as I believed Amazon was playing an April Fools' trick on me this morning, it does, in fact, appear that the retailer has gifted us some extended Amazon Big Spring Sale deals. Happy Tuesday, indeed! The seasonal savings event technically wrapped up last night, but I'm seeing lots of markdowns that are still going strong, and even a few new ones — with savings of up to 75%. As of this a.m., I spied discounts on brands like Apple, Dyson, Yeti and DeWalt, to name a few. That said, there's no telling how long these sales will last, so I'd get that cart revved up, stat.
Top Amazon Big Spring Sale deals
iRobot Roomba i5 Robot Vacuum & Mop for $199 (was $350): All-time low
Crest 3D Whitestrips for $30 (was $43): Near all-time low
Granitestone Piezano Pizza Oven for $95 (was $150): All-time low
Yeti Roadie 24 Cooler for $200 (was $250): All-time low
Brita Metro Water Filter Pitcher for $15 (was $26): Near all-time low
Among the hits? An iRobot Roomba vacuum and mop is down to an all-time low (just in time for spring cleaning). On the fashion and beauty front? My favorite leggings are on sale for just $28 and the CeraVe eye cream loved by both our beauty editor and Olivia Wilde is a mere $14.
As a professional deals hunter, I've vetted each item on this list by checking price histories because, if I'm being honest, not all markdowns are legit. Starting prices are often inflated to make it seem like you're getting a bigger discount than you actually are — sneaky! With that in mind, these are the extended Amazon Spring Sale deals that, in my humble opinion, are most worthy of your time and money. Ready to save? Let's gooo!
In this guide: Rare Amazon deals | All-time low prices | Best home deals | Best kitchen deals | Best tech deals | Best fashion deals | Best beauty and wellness deals
Carote 14 Pcs Pots and Pans Set ($66, originally $110): Get unstuck with a set of smooth, easy-to-use pans. The white granite surface is PFOA-free and nonstick. This 14-piece cookware set just about has it all: 8- and 11-inch frying pans, a 4.3-quart casserole with lid, 1.8- and 4.5-quart saucepans with lids, four pan protectors, a spatula and a mixing spoon. That's all for less than $70 — less than you'd pay for a single pan from many brands.
DeWalt 20V MAX Cordless Drill and Impact Driver ($124, originally $239): Handy humans, this one's for you: With a powerful drill and impact driver in this set, you'll finally be able to cross all those home-improvement tasks off your list. The compact, lightweight design makes them both easy to use, and the best part? No cords!
Shark Cordless Pro Vacuum ($200, originally $400): This might look like an ordinary stick vacuum, but it's got a little secret: an odor neutralizer. That means it masks icky smells from the debris it lifts, leaving you with fresher-smelling floors. Plus, it's cordless, weighs just over 8 pounds and can run for up to 40 minutes per charge. Need to clean higher surfaces? Pop out the built-in handvac and go to town. It even has an LED display showing battery and suction levels. At 50% off, it's within a few bucks of its lowest price ever.
Cozsinoor Bed Pillows ($30, originally $120): Want to start your evenings on the right foot, er, head? You'd be wise to snag this popular pair while it's 75% off. Filled with a lofty down alternative stuffing, these plush pillows are moisture-wicking and promote airflow for a more comfortable slumber. They're also machine washable!
Yeti Rambler Stackable Cups, 2-Pack ($24, originally $30): Sipping lukewarm coffee is arguably worse than a morning with no coffee at all, which might explain why these vacuum-insulated espresso cups have a 4.9-star average rating. Reviewers say they keep java nice and hot, plus they're dishwasher safe, highly durable (bring 'em camping) and stackable to save space.
Dyson V8 Plus Cordless Vacuum for $330 (originally $470): Not all Dyson deals get my attention, but this 30%-off markdown sure did! This highly rated model rarely dips lower than its current price and features a Max cleaning mode to spot-treat areas that need more attention. It'll run for up to 40 minutes before needing a recharge and converts to a handheld for cleaning higher surfaces. Got pets? The included hair-screw tool sucks up fur without getting tangled.
Apple AirPods 4 for $100 (originally $129): At just $100, this pair is down to the best price I've seen. Now, they don't include active noise cancellation like these do, but if it's a high-quality, comfortable listening experience you're after, these earbuds more than deliver. With up to five hours of listening time per charge (and 30 hours of battery life via the charging case), you'll be able to enjoy music, podcasts, audiobooks and more with limited interruption.
Fab Totes Clothes Storage Bags, 6-Pack ($16, originally $42): If you're stowing away shorts and sundresses in the winter or puffer coats and comforters in the summer, these roomy storage bags will keep everything organized from season to season. Each one has an impressive 60-liter capacity, along with see-through front panels so you won't forget what you stashed in them. Be sure to apply the on-page coupon and code for the full 62% discount.
Zinus Green Tea Cooling Memory Foam Mattress ($148, originally $200): A queen mattress for under $200? No, you're not dreaming! But this isn't just any mattress. It's topped with gel memory foam to help banish those pesky night sweats — and speaking of sweating, green tea and purified charcoal infusions keep things nice and fresh. The medium-firm feel strikes just the right balance between comfortable and supportive, and at an insane $148, this is as low as it's ever been.
Henckels Premium Quality 20-Piece Knife Set ($160, originally $440): Henckels has been crafting knives for over a century, so the brand knows a thing or two about what makes a quality set. This top-selling collection comes with just about every type of blade a home cook could need: an 8-inch chef's knife, an 8-inch bread knife, an 8-inch carving knife, a 7-inch santoku knife, 5-inch and 6-inch utility knives, a 5.5-inch boning knife, 3- and 4-inch paring knives and eight steak knives. You'll also get a sharpening steel, a pair of kitchen shears and a stylish wooden block to store everything in. Whew!
iRobot Roomba i5 Robot Vacuum & Mop for $200 (originally $350): If you've had one of these bad boys on your wishlist for a while, I'd urge you to scoop up this deal while you can. Why? Well, the limited-time discount brings this top-selling model down to an all-time low. Roomba and robovacs are pretty much synonymous at this point, and the fact that this one doubles as a mop makes the 43% markdown even sweeter.
Carote 14 Pcs Pots and Pans Set ($66, originally $110): Get unstuck with a set of smooth, easy-to-use pans. The white granite surface is PFOA-free and nonstick. This 14-piece cookware set just about has it all: 8- and 11-inch frying pans, a 4.3-quart casserole with lid, 1.8- and 4.5-quart saucepans with lids, four pan protectors, a spatula and a mixing spoon.

iOS 18 promised the biggest update in history — here's what iOS 26 needs to fix

Apple's WWDC event is slated for next week, and there is a lot to be excited about. However, one of the most important announcements that we're expecting to see is the new iOS 26, which may also be called iOS 19. Over the last few months, we've seen a lot of rumors and leaks about the upcoming update, with Bloomberg's Mark Gurman calling it one of the biggest overhauls in Apple's history. However, the same thing was said about the last update. When it was first announced, there was a lot of talk that iOS 18 was Apple's biggest update in history. Now, it wasn't strictly untrue, as iOS 18 held a lot of promise. However, there's no doubt that the actual release left a fair amount to be desired. So, if iOS 26 wants to be the biggest update ever, it needs to solve a few things. There's no doubt that Apple Intelligence was the reason for the hype around iOS 18. However, while Apple's new AI promised the world, it left a lot to be desired, thanks to limited device support alongside delayed features. For instance, certain language support, priority notifications and more didn't launch until March of this year. Now, in the interest of fairness, I will say that the features we have work just fine, but they're heavily limited. For instance, Apple's Image Playground has an irritating UI that's more annoying than revolutionary. Added to this is the simple fact that you can't create anything novel or interesting without a lot of work. If we compare this to the other options, then you see the issue. This is a problem that runs the gamut of AI features for Apple Intelligence: there are simply better options out there. I would have thought that Apple would have some of the best features available, it's what the company is known for, after all. As such, I would want to see iOS 26 push these features to their limits, but I also want Apple to be realistic, rather than promising the world and not delivering. When it comes to missing features, there's no greater culprit than the long-awaited"Siri 2.0." Apple has been working on an improved AI assistant for a while now, but has reportedly only managed to get Siri 2.0 to work "two-thirds of the time." This is an issue because AI Assistants have slowly become an integral part of phones, yet Apple is continuing to fall behind the competition. That isn't to say the current iteration is useless, though, as Siri can manage a lot of your basic tasks. The issue is that it fails in comparison to what assistants like Google Gemini offer. However, considering all we've heard about Siri 2.0, that could change so long as Apple releases it with iOS 26. While we don't know all the features that are coming with the improved Siri, we do have some idea about the core functions. Reportedly, the new Siri offers more personal context, onscreen awareness and deeper app integration. Hopefully, Apple uses WWDC 2025 to give Apple fans the software they deserve. Of course, it isn't just Apple intelligence that needs solving, as one thing that I found to be severely lacking with iOS 18 was the (apparently) improved look of the homescreen and menus. Again, in the interest of fairness, I don't want to imply that the update was awful; it just wasn't all that interesting. For instance, the ability to tint app icons was underwhelming at best, ugly at worst. We do know that Apple is possibly planning a pretty major improvement with the so-called Project Solarium, although what this will contain is up for debate. For instance, we've seen several reports that Apple will completely overhaul the look of the UI with designs similar to Apple's VisionOS. Alternatively, one of the more interesting designs we've seen comes from a series of mock-ups from noted tech leaker Jon Prosser, which were posted on his Front Page Tech YouTube channel. While this might not be the exact look of iOS 26, it's certainly more notable and striking than what iOS 18 gave us. Making the icons more circular helps them to look cleaner, while the transparent menus make it all seem more futuristic. This has two advantages: the first is that it makes the look of the screen memorable, while the second allows Apple to be more distinct when compared with Android The video also helps to show off how we could control our phones, and they all look pretty great. For instance, the search bar appearing at the bottom of the screen is a nice touch. Not only that, the menus offering a more distinct swiping animation, as well as highlighting which tab you're on, will be a draw for many. This is the kind of change that we need to see from Apple, and it's one I hope iOS 26 brings. At the end of the day, we can't know for certain what Apple will announce, and the company is well known for being tight-lipped in the run-up to release. For instance, one of the big questions at the moment is whether Apple will even focus on AI for the presentation. In one recent report, Mark Gurman stated that it was possible Apple would avoid AI entirely, so it isn't impossible. However, I hope that, even if Apple doesn't directly mention it, iOS 26 will at least solve some of the issues I've discussed. If Apple does try to quietly sweep it under the rug and ignore what it needs to solve, that might be interesting to watch, too. On that note, what are you hoping to see during WWDC, and what would you like to see from Apple regarding iOS 26?

Apple under pressure to shine after AI stumble

Pressure is on Apple to show it hasn't lost its magic despite broken promises to ramp up iPhones with generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) as rivals race ahead with the technology. Apple will showcase plans for its coveted devices and the software powering them at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) kicking off Monday in Silicon Valley. The event comes a year after the tech titan said a suite of AI features it dubbed "Apple Intelligence" was heading for iPhones, including an improvement of its much criticized Siri voice assistant. "Apple advertised a lot of features as if they were going to be available, and it just didn't happen," noted Emarketer senior analyst Gadjo Sevilla. Instead, Apple delayed the rollout of the Siri upgrade, with hopes that it will be available in time for the next iPhone release, expected in the fall. "I don't think there is going to be that much of a celebratory tone at WWDC," the analyst told AFP. "It could be more of a way for Apple to recover some credibility by showing where they're headed." Industry insiders will be watching to see whether Apple addresses the AI stumble or focuses on less splashy announcements, including a rumored overhaul of its operating systems for its line of devices. "The bottom line is Apple seemed to underestimate the AI shift, then over-promised features, and is now racing to catch up," Gene Munster and Brian Baker of Deepwater Asset Management wrote in a WWDC preview note. Rumors also include talk that Apple may add GenAI partnerships with Google or Perplexity to an OpenAI alliance announced a year ago. - 'Double black eye' - Infusing its lineup with AI is only one of Apple's challenges. Developers, who build apps and tools to run on the company's products, may be keen for Apple to loosen its tight control of access to iPhones. "There's still a lot of strife between Apple and developers," Sevilla said. "Taking 30 percent commissions from them and then failing to deliver on promises for new functionality—that's a double black eye." A lawsuit by Fortnite maker Epic Games ended with Apple being ordered to allow outside payment systems to be used at the US App Store, but developers may want more, according to the analyst. "Apple does need to give an olive branch to the developer community, which has been long-suffering," Sevilla said. "They can't seem to thrive within the restrictive guardrails that Apple has been putting up for decades now." As AI is incorporated into Apple software, the company may need to give developers more ability to sync apps to the platform, according to Creative Strategies analyst Carolina Milanesi. "Maybe with AI it's the first time that Apple needs to rethink the open versus closed ecosystem," Milanesi said. - Apple on defensive - Adding to the WWDC buildup is that the legendary designer behind the iPhone, Jony Ive, has joined with ChatGPT maker OpenAI to create a potential rival device for engaging with AI. "It puts Apple on the defensive because the key designer for your most popular product is saying there is something better than the iPhone," Sevilla said. While WWDC has typically been a software-focused event, Apple might unveil new hardware to show it is still innovating, the analyst speculated. And while unlikely to come up at WWDC, Apple has to deal with tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump in his trade war with China, a key market for sales growth as well as the place where most iPhones are made. Trump has also threatened to hit Apple with tariffs if iPhone production wasn't moved to the US, which analysts say is impossible given the costs and capabilities. "The whole idea of having an American-made iPhone is a pipe dream; you'd have to rewrite the rules of global economics," said Sevilla. One of the things Apple has going for it is that its fans are known for their loyalty and likely to remain faithful regardless of how much time it takes the company to get its AI act together, Milanesi said. "Do people want a smarter Siri? Hell yeah," Milanesi said. "But if you are in Apple, you're in Apple and you'll continue to buy their stuff." gc/arp

Apple's Siri Could Be More Like ChatGPT. But Is That What You Want?

I've noticed a vibe shift in the appetite for AI on our devices. My social feeds are flooded with disgust over what's being created by Google's AI video generator tool, Veo 3. The unsettling realistic video of fake people and voices it creates makes it clear we will have a hard time telling apart fiction from reality. In other words, the AI slop is looking less sloppy. Meanwhile, the CEO of Anthropic is warning people that AI will wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs. In an interview with Axios, Dario Amodei is suggesting government needs to step in to protect us from a mass elimination of jobs that can happen very rapidly. So as we gear up for Apple's big WWDC presentation on Monday, I have a different view of headlines highlighting Apple being behind in the AI race. I wonder, what exactly is the flavor of AI that people want or need right now? And will it really matter if Apple keeps waiting longer to push out it's long promised (and long delayed) personalized Siri when people are not feeling optimistic about AI's impact on our society? In this week's episode of One More Thing, which you can watch embedded above, I go over some of the recent reporting from Bloomberg that discusses leadership changes on the Siri team, and how there are different views in what consumers want out of Siri. Should Apple approach AI in a way to make Siri into a home-grown chatbot, or just make it a better interface for controlling devices? (Maybe a bit of both.) I expect a lot of griping after WWDC about the state of Siri and Apple's AI, with comparisons to other products like ChatGPT. But I hope we can use those gripes to voice what we really want in the next path for the assistant, by sharing our thoughts and speaking with our wallet. Do you want a Siri that's better at understanding context, or one that goes further and makes decisions for you? It's a question I'll be dwelling on more as Apple gives us the next peak into the future of iOS on Monday, and perhaps a glimpse of how the next Siri is shaping up.
