IT General

Netflix's live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 takes on the original show's Book Two: Earth, bringing with it fan favorite Toph (Miya Cech) and Ba Sing Se's court intrigue.

However, as with any adaptation, Avatar: The Last Airbender makes some serious changes from its source material. Most notably, it mashes up several of the original show's episodes, condensing 20 half-hour-long episodes' worth of story into seven hour-long episodes. This is nothing new: The first season followed the same path.

But which episodes get the mash-up treatment in Season 2? (Spoiler alert: If you like swamps or deserts, you're out of luck.) From "The Blind Bandit" to "The Tales of Ba Sing Se," we've put together the ultimate guide to what episodes appear in Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2, along with the biggest differences between the shows. Saddle up your flying bison, and let's dive right in.

Episode 1: "Somewhere Safe" Gordon Cormier and Kiawentiio in "Avatar: The Last Airbender." Credit: Netflix Episodes covered:

• "Winter Solstice, Part 2: Avatar Roku" (Book 1, episode 8)

• "Return to Omashu" (Book 2, episode 3)

• "Avatar Day" (Book 2, episode 5)

• "The Serpent's Pass" (Book 2, episode 12)

• "The Painted Lady" (Book 3, episode 3)

Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 kicks off with one hell of a mash-up, incorporating plot points from all three seasons into its premiere. Drawing from "Return to Omashu," Aang (Gordon Cormier) heads back to a Fire Nation-occupied Omashu to try to rescue Bumi (Utkarsh Ambudkar) and recruit him to be his earthbending teacher. Like in the animated series, Bumi refuses but tells Aang to look for someone who knows how to wait and listen. Unlike in the animated series, we miss out on a big fight between Team Avatar and Azula (Elizabeth Yu), Mai (Thalia Tran), and Ty Lee (Momona Tamada). (And we also miss out on Bumi's metal cage.)

From there, the show jumps right into "The Serpent's Pass," covering Team Avatar's perilous journey towards Ba Sing Se. In the original series, this episode fell in the middle of Season 2, while Appa was missing. Here, it's moved all the way up, hinting at the many major adaptation changes to come.

On the Zuko (Dallas Liu) side of things, "Somewhere Safe" draws from his parting from Uncle Iroh (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee) in "Avatar Day." Elsewhere, mechanist Sai (Danny Pudi) reveals that the return of Sozin's Comet is imminent, a task that fell to Avatar Roku (C.S. Lee) in Season 1 of the animated show. Finally, Avatar: The Last Airbender cooks up a new legend for the Painted Lady, Katara's (Kiawentiio) alter ego in Season 3 of the original. In the live-action show, the Painted Lady isn't just tied to a river spirit. It's also a kind of flower. Learning this in episode 1 plants the seeds in Katara's mind for her vigilante benevolence later this season. — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter

Episode 2: "A Fight, Once Begun" Dallas Liu in "Avatar: The Last Airbender." Credit: Netflix Episodes covered:

• "The Blind Bandit" (Book 2, episode 6)

• "Zuko Alone" (Book 2, episode 7)

• "The Chase" (Book 2, episode 8)

Episode 2 is all about everyone's favorite earthbender (sorry, Bumi). At long last, Toph Beifong is here! And her introduction is based on "The Blind Bandit," an animated episode that shares its name with Toph's secret identity from Earth Rumble, the Earth Kingdom's WWE. The major change here? In the animated series, we get round after round of earthbending fights before Aang faces Toph in the ring, and later, Team Avatar fights alongside Toph in the ring against The Boulder and friends. Neither fight happens in the Netflix series, just Toph vs. The Boulder (Kelemete Misipeka).

Episode 2 shares the spotlight, putting Zuko front and center in an adaptation of the defining Zuko episode, "Zuko Alone." Here, the Fire Nation prince is a solo fugitive, plagued by flashbacks of his childhood and his mother’s tragic fate. Both the live-action and animated episodes cover Zuko’s stay with Earth Kingdom locals after protecting them from the army, and the couple he finds in the desert. In the animated series, Zuko leaves them be, but he's overcome with guilt by his choice to rob them in the Netflix series.

In the other Fire Nation sibling corner, Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender adapts nail-biter "The Chase," in which Azula tracks the Avatar with Mai and Ty Lee. In the animated series, Team Avatar is chased by a speeding tank containing the Fire Nation trio, riding on lizards. In the live-action, there's no real chase (or lizards, sadly), but we do get Team Avatar meeting Zuko and Azula face-to-face in the village standoff. — Shannon Connellan, Senior Editor

Episode 3: "City of Walls and Secrets" Miya Cech in "Avatar: The Last Airbender." Credit: Netflix Episodes covered:

• "Bitter Work" (Book 2, episode 9)

• "City of Walls and Secrets" (Book 2, episode 14)

• "The Library" (Book 2, episode 10)

• "The Desert" (Book 2, episode 11)

• "The Serpent's Pass" (Book 2, episode 12)

• "The Painted Lady" (Book 3, episode 3)

Episode 3, "City of Walls and Secrets," draws its name from an episode from the animated series, so it only makes since that it covers much of the same ground. Like in the original Avatar: The Last Airbender, this episode is Team Avatar's introduction to Ba Sing Se, as well as cultural minister Long Feng (Chin Han) and the uncanny Joo Dee (Amanda Zhou). While Netflix's version spins up new conflict with the Earth Kingdom army and makes Long Feng way less menacing off the bat, it also hits several of the same beats, including the Earth King's (Justin Chien) lavish party.

Here, we get a few references to other Season 2 episodes: The introduction of Professor Zei (Hoa Xuande) kickstarts the show's search for Wan Shi Tong's library in "The Library," while Sokka's (Ian Ousley) love of cactus juice is pulled straight from "The Desert." (Yes, we do get "Nothing's quenchier!")

This episode sees Zuko cross paths with Jet on a ferry to Ba Sing Se, which originally happens in "The Serpent's Pass." It also covers some of Aang's difficult earthbending training from "Bitter Earth," before kicking off Katara's Painted Lady era in earnest. — B.E.

Episode 4: "The Water Falls, The Stones Emerge" Kiawentiio, Ian Ousley, Gordon Cormier, and Miya Cech in "Avatar: The Last Airbender." Credit: Katie Yu / Netflix Episodes covered:

• "The Deserter" (Book 1, episode 16)

• "The Tales of Ba Sing Se" (Book 2, episode 15)

• "The Earth King" (Book 2, episode 18)

At last, we've arrived at "The Tales of Ba Sing Se," an episode of vignettes in the animated series set in the Earth Kingdom capital. From Sokka's haiku battle to Iroh's devastating memory of his late son, the Netflix series covers multiple strands of this legendary episode (not Aang's zoo jailbreak though).

SEE ALSO: An 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' sequel series is on the way, and we've already got theories

We also meet Fire Nation defector Jeong Jeong (Terry Chen) in this episode, the focus of the animated show's Season 1 episode "The Deserter." In the Netflix series, we meet him living in Ba Sing Se's Fire Nation district, where Zuko warns him of an impending attack. While Jeong Jeong's not named in the live-action series, we'd recognize that scar and world-weary attitude anywhere.

Plus, we get a tiny slice of "The Earth King" in this episode, which covers Azula's ruse to get into Ba Sing Se with Mai and Ty Lee dressed as Kyoshi Warriors. — S.C.

Episode 5: "Ten Thousand Things" Gordon Cormier and Miya Cech in "Avatar: The Last Airbender." Credit: Katie Yu / Netflix Episodes covered:

• "The Chase" (Book 2, episode 8)

• "The Library" (Book 2, episode 10)

• "Lake Laogai" (Book 2, episode 17)

• "The Guru" (Book 2, episode 19)

It's library time! Avatar: The Last Airbender sends Team Avatar and Professor Zei back into the spirit world for a pretty faithful adaptation of Season 2's "The Library." There are some key differences, though. The library is in Ba Sing Se instead of the desert, because Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender avoids deserts more than Ba Sing Se citizens avoid conversations about war. Also, Jet is here now! Not for much longer, though. He sacrifices himself in a fight against Wan Shi Tong, dying like he did in the original's "Lake Laogai." Unlike in the animated series, his death here is actually really clear.

"Ten Thousand Things" also pulls from the beginnings of Azula's Ba Sing Se coup in "The Guru." Plus, before Team Avatar heads to the library, this episode features another nod to "The Chase" with Iroh and Toph's sweet conversation. In the original series, the two share a cup of tea on the road. Netflix's version transposes that discussion to Iroh's tea shop, and the effects are no less heartwarming. — B.E.

Episode 6: "The Parable of the Two Dragons"Episodes covered:

• "The Desert" (Book 2, episode 11)

• "The Tales of Ba Sing Se" (Book 2, episode 15)

• "The Earth King" (Book 2, episode 18)

• "The Guru" (Book 2, episode 19)

With Appa missing and Aang distraught, this episode draws from "The Desert," an ambling trip from the animated series in which Team Avatar are stuck in a sprawling sandy landscape after their escapade from "The Library." (In the Netflix show, they're still in Ba Sing Se.) "The Desert" episode also covers Uncle Iroh's revealed involvement in the Order of the White Lotus, which Netflix's version turns into an emotional scene of forgiveness between Iroh and the Fire Nation deserters.

Episode 6 also covers a lot of two episodes: "The Earth King" and "The Guru." Zuko's fever dream of two dragons comes from "The Earth King," although Netflix's version gives the dream a puppet makeover. "The Earth King" is also the animated episode where you'll find Team Avatar's meeting with the Earth Kingdom's enigmatic leader.

Zuko's recovery and his starting work at Iroh's tea house come from the next animated episode, "The Guru," which also covers more of Azula's infiltration of Ba Sing Se, her plotted coup with Long Feng, and the team's continued mission in the palace.

Lastly, we get a tiny glimpse of the fan-favorite "Jinko" ship from "The Tales of Ba Sing Se" in this episode. In the animated series, Jin is a regular at Iroh's tea shop and takes Zuko on a cute date. (In the Netflix series, she's an employee). — S.C.

Episode 7: "Something Broken"Episodes covered:

• "Appa's Lost Days" (Book 2, episode 16)

• "Lake Laogai" (Book 2, episode 17)

• "The Guru" (Book 2, episode 19)

• "The Crossroads of Destiny" (Book 2, episode 20)

Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 ends with the combination of "Lake Laogai" and "The Crossroads of Destiny." That's because the crystal caves from "The Crossroads of Destiny" now double as the spooky underground hypnosis facility of "Lake Laogai." (Notably missing? An actual lake!) This episode hits all the "Crossroads of Destiny" highlights, from Zuko and Katara's cave conversation — this is a big season for Zutara shippers! — to the explosive final fight. It also gives us a glimpse of the Dai Li's terrifying brainwashing techniques.

Before all that, though, it'll make you tear up with a flashback to Appa and Aang's first meeting, as seen in the animated show's heartbreaking "Appa's Lost Days." And of course, you can't end Season 2 without Toph inventing metalbending, which originally happens in "The Guru." She's the greatest earthbender in the world for a reason! — B.E.

Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 is now streaming on Netflix.

13. Power Ballad

Writer/director John Carney (Flora and Son) returns with another movie about where music and feelings collide. Critics out of SXSW cheered his latest, but in my review, I yearned for his earlier films, like Once and Sing Street, which took bigger swings and were wonderful because of that.

SEE ALSO: 'Power Ballad' review: Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas fall short of charming

Power Ballad stars Paul Rudd as Rick Power, a middle-aged frontman for a wedding band who thinks his dream of rock stardom is long gone. That is, until a fateful meeting with a former boy band member who's going solo turns things around. The song they wrote together is a hit! The only problem is that Rick's getting none of the credit. Nick Jonas stars as this pop idol. And the two are fun together, but unfortunately most of the hijinks of this dramedy keep them apart. — Kristy Puchko, Entertainment Editor

Starring: Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Jack Reynor, and Havana Rose Liu

How to watch: Power Ballad is now available for rent or purchase on Prime Video.

12. See You at Work Tomorrow!

Prime Video's new K-drama is one for the employees who turn up to work while going through a break-up. Directed by Cho Eun-sol and based on McQueen Studio's Kakao Webtoon, See You at Work Tomorrow! is a workplace rom-com simmering within the daily grind. Park Ji-hyun (You and Everything Else) leads as Cha Ji-yoon, a burnt-out corporate product planner whose ability to clock in, deliver excellence, and clock out while compartmentalising heartbreak deserves a raise in itself. She's noticed by coworker Kang Si-woo, played by Seo In-guk (Boyfriend on Demand), and you'd better believe there's tension — and work to be done. — Shannon Connellan, Senior Editor

Starring: Seo In-guk, Park Ji-hyun, and Kang Mi-na

How to watch: See You At Work Tomorrow is now streaming on Prime Video.

11. Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour

Icons of music and movies collide in this supersized concert film, as Billie Eilish teams up with James Cameron to bring her sold-out Hit Me Hard and Soft tour to movie theaters — and now to streaming.

The film offers up a behind-the-scenes glimpse into Eilish's life on tour, as well as electrifying footage of her performances, all captured in 3D. Whether you want to hear more about Eilish's creative process (she co-directed the film with Cameron) or just headbang along to "bad guy," Hit Me Hard and Soft promises to be "The Greatest" treat for the superstar's fans this summer.* — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter

Starring: Billie Eilish, James Cameron, and Finneas O'Connell

How to watch: Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour is now available for rent or purchase on Prime Video.

10. The Welcome Table

If the headlines about record-breaking heat across the globe haven't been a stern reminder that the climate crisis has very real impacts for humans, watch The Welcome Table. Gasland director Josh Fox's HBO documentary tracks stories of people displaced by the effects of climate change, whether by rising sea levels, drought, or extreme weather events (which are intensified by climate change).

Gathered at a long table, Fox interviewed those on the front line of the crisis, from aid workers to activists and climate refugees themselves, to understand how entire communities are being forced from their homes — and the uneasy plight awaiting them in their new one. And they're a few among many; it's estimated that there will be between 25 million to 1 billion environmental migrants by 2050. — S.C.

How to watch: The Welcome Table is now streaming on HBO Max.

9. Little Brother

Like your comedy crude and gleefully stupid? Little Brother is eager to please in that regard.

John Cena stars as Rudd, a preppy New York City real estate agent who seems to have it all: a beautiful wife (Michelle Monaghan), two sons, a big house, and a successful career. But he wants more, including impressing his ultra-famous older brother (Christopher Meloni) and reality TV stardom. He's on the brink of both when his little brother — as in, a kid he mentored decades ago as part of a charity outreach — comes crashing back into his life. Kooky comedian Eric André stars little brother Marcus, who has a lot of personality and deep thoughts on everything from family to Hoobastank and rim jobs. Naturally, their reunion will bring a lot of chaos and laughs, but most of the "OMG!" variety. — K.P.

Starring: John Cena, Eric André, Michelle Monaghan, and Christopher Meloni

How to watch: Little Brother debuts on Netflix on June 26.

8. In the Hand of Dante

American filmmaker Julian Schnabel has forged his career by exploring the lives of artists in films like Basquiat, Before Night Falls, and At Eternity's Gate. However, his latest does double duty, paralleling the lives of Dante Alighieri, the famed author of The Divine Comedy, with that of American journalist Nick Tosches, who wrote the novel In the Hand of Dante in 2002.

Schnabel paints 14th-century Italy in vividly colorful sequences, where Dante (Oscar Isaac) seeks inspiration for the work that will define his legacy. In stark black-and-white sequences, a fictional narrative plays out, where Tosches (also played by Isaac) gets tangled up with some mafiosos who want him to verify the authenticity of a manuscript believed to be Dante's original draft.

Between Frankenstein and Beef Season 2, Isaac has been making some fascinating media at Netflix. So, we're intrigued by what he's got here. — K.P.

Starring: Oscar Isaac, Gal Gadot, Gerard Butler, John Malkovich, Louis Cancelmi, Sabrina Impacciatore, Benjamin Clementine, Martin Scorsese, Al Pacino, and Jason Momoa

How to watch: In the Hand of Dante is now streaming on Netflix.

7. Avatar: The Last Airbender, Season 2

It's Toph time! Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender returns with an adaptation of the animated show's Book Two: Earth, which means everyone's favorite earthbending master, Toph Beifong (Miya Cech), is making her live-action debut. With her by his side, can Avatar Aang (Gordon Cormier) and the rest of the Gaang help rally the Earth Kingdom against the Fire Nation?

Like the first season of Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender, Season 2 is perfectly fine, if muddled in its wild adaptation choices. (We're doing Season 3's "Painted Lady" this season? Really?) However, it manages to hit some solid highs, including a moving adaptation of "Zuko Alone," fronted by cast standout Dallas Liu. Elsewhere, Elizabeth Yu shines as a deliciously evil Azula, and Cech nails Toph's humor. But smushing Book Two's rich story into seven episodes results in an oddly truncated season of TV — one that's serviceable in a vacuum but pales in comparison to the animated original. — B.E.

Starring: Gordon Cormier, Kiawentiio, Ian Ousley, Dallas Liu, Miya Cech, Elizabeth Yu, Momona Tamada, Thalia Tran, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, Maria Zhang, and Daniel Dae Kim

How to watch: Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 premieres June 25 on Netflix.

6. Queens of the Dead

Tina Romero struts in the footsteps of late father George A. Romero by creating a zombie movie that pays tribute to his Night of the Living Dead movies, but through a determinedly comedic and queer lens.

Queens of the Dead follows the hilarious mayhem that breaks out when a zombie contagion hits Bushwick's queer night club scene. Katy O'Brian headlines as a party promoter who's given her blood sweat and tears to build a safe space to dance, flirt, and revel. But when an undead drag queen hits the dance floor, her life is also on the line. Offering a mindful and willfully silly array of queer archetypes, Queens of the Dead is a movie by queer horror fans for queer horror fans. Or as I put in my review, "Drenched in neon, steeped in attitude, and radiant with queer joy, this movie is beyond fine; it's fierce, funny, and fabulous."* — K.P.

Starring: Katy O'Brian, Jaquel Spivey, Riki Lindhome, Jack Haven, Cheyenne Jackson, and Margaret Cho

How to watch: Queens of the Dead begins streaming on Hulu on June 26.

5. Savage House

You've never staged a dinner party like this. A bombastic commentary on 18th-century English extravagance mid-war and plague, Savage House is the latest from writer/director Peter Glanz (Captain America: Brave New World). As the Jacobite uprising rages and smallpox decimates the population, aristocrats Sir Chauncey Savage (a histrionic Richard E. Grant) and Lady Savage (a wonderfully deadpan Claire Foy) land a golden opportunity for social climbing. But they've squandered their wealth, and the servants are fed up. Can they pull it off? Should we even be cheering for them? Is Sir Chauncey... bleeding?

As I wrote in my review, "Savage House will inevitably find itself compared to Yorgos Lanthimos' The Favourite, as two 18th-century dark comedies featuring gout-ridden aristocrats and underlings jostling for a sliver of power. However, Glanz's film finds its own inflamed, leech-dotted footing, as a rambunctious cautionary tale of the cost and moral quandaries of 'rattling the social ladder.'" — S.C.

Starring: Richard E. Grant, Claire Foy, Jack Farthing, Bel Powley, and Kíla Lord Cassidy

How to watch: Savage House is now available for purchase on Prime Video.

4. Avatar: Fire and Ash

Is your TV the most rewarding way to experience the Academy Award–winning visual effects of James Cameron's Avatar: Fire and Ash? No, probably not. But will you still bask in the glory of Pandora? Absolutely.

In the third installment of the Avatar franchise, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and his family are once again on the run from Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang). This time, though, he has new allies in the form of the Ash People, a new Na'vi clan who worship fire and destruction. Their leader Varang (Oona Chaplin) is just the kind of spark these films need to keep growing, yet, as I wrote in my review, "Fire and Ash cannibalizes prior Avatar films' best set pieces and story beats, resulting in a film that, while undeniably spectacular, relies too heavily on its prior installments, as opposed to the new Pandoran elements that could make it truly special."* — B.E.

Starring: Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Oona Chaplin, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Edie Falco, Brendan Cowell, Jemaine Clement, Giovanni Ribisi, David Thewlis, Britain Dalton, Jack Champion, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, Jamie Flatters, Bailey Bass, Filip Geljo, Duane Evans Jr., Matt Gerald, and Dileep Rao

How to watch: Avatar: Fire and Ash is now streaming on Disney+.

3. Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness

Curb Your Enthusiasm meets U.S. history in Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness, created by Larry David and Jeff Schaffer and executive produced by President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama. The series celebrates the U.S.'s 250th anniversary with sketches that put a Larry David spin on key moments from American history, like the Wright Brothers' first flight or Lewis and Clark's expedition west. In addition to David, Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness features a wide range of guest stars like Bill Hader, Susie Essman, Kathryn Hahn, and Obama himself, making for a star-studded look back through time. — B.E.

Starring: Larry David, Bill Hader, Kathryn Hahn, Jon Hamm, Sean Hayes, Jerry Seinfeld, and Chris Parnell

How to watch: Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness debuts on June 26 on HBO Max.

2. I Love Boosters

Following the critical acclaim of Sorry to Bother You and I'm A Virgo, celebrated rapper/filmmaker Boots Riley returns with the epic anti-capitalism satire I Love Boosters.

Keke Palmer stars as an aspiring fashion designer who's making ends meet by boosting (shoplifting) designer clothes and selling them for low, low prices. She and her thieving friends consider themselves "fashion-forward filanthropists [sic]," but fashion titan Christie Smith (Demi Moore) sees them as "low-class urban bitches." So a class war is on, with plenty of eye-popping fits and bonkers physical comedy.

Out of the film's SXSW premiere, I cheered, "Like the fashion in the film, Riley blends whatever fits his vision without apology. By delivering something this messy and marvelous, Riley makes a statement about the glory to be found outside the box. And make no mistake: I Love Boosters is glorious."* — K.P.

Starring: Keke Palmer, Naomi Ackie, Taylour Paige, Poppy Liu, Eiza Gonzalez, LaKeith Stanfield, Will Poulter, and Demi Moore

How to watch: I Love Boosters is now available for rent or purchase on Prime Video.

Best of streaming this week: The Bear, Season 5

FX's Emmy–winning The Bear comes to a close this week, with a fifth and final season promised to be filled with more restaurant panic (and life lessons) than ever before. Are you ready? Your answer had better be "Yes, chef."

Season 5 of The Bear picks up the morning after the Season 4 finale, which saw Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) quitting the restaurant industry and leaving the Bear to Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), and Natalie (Abby Elliott). Faced with no money, Uncle Jimmy's (Oliver Platt) plans to sell the Bear, and a massive storm bearing down on Chicago, this crew needs to pull out all the stops for what could be their last service. (Don't worry; based on the trailer, Carmy is back, even after quitting.) Sounds stressful, which means it sounds like The Bear. — B.E.

Starring: Jeremy Allen White, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Ayo Edebiri, Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott, Matty Matheson, and Edwin Lee Gibson

How to watch: The Bear Season 5 premieres in its entirety June 25 at 9 p.m. ET on Hulu. The first two episodes air at 9 p.m. ET on FX, with a new episode airing every Thursday at 9 p.m. ET.

It's no secret that the world of dating apps and websites involves the collection of an enormous amount of data. How could it be otherwise? You're voluntarily telling these companies how old you are, where you live, what you're looking for, and maybe even how much money you earn or your level of education. 

All of this may just be "personal details" to you, or to the people you're trying to match with, but to the companies that own the sites and apps you're using, this is valuable information that can be used to serve you ads or even sold to third-party data collection companies. 

If you're privacy-minded, or if you just want to do your due diligence before you commit your time and maybe even your money to a company, it's worth knowing about each app or site's privacy policy and how it does or doesn't protect your information. 

Here's a quick overview of the data protection policies of some of the most common hookup apps:

Opens in a new window Credit: AdultFriendFinder AdultFriendFinder   Learn More AdultFriendFinder privacy policy

AdultFriendFinder is unusual in the constellation of hookup apps and websites for the simple reason that it allows and even encourages its members to post nude photographs and videos, so as you can imagine, their privacy policy should be both transparent and robust.

Thankfully, they are unequivocal about what they won't do with your private information: "We DO NOT sell, rent, or give any personally identifiable information about you to any third party without your permission." 

SEE ALSO: The best hookup apps for 2026: I swiped until my thumb hurt

One thing they do note, however, is that if you opt to log in to AFF through a third-party authorization site like Facebook or Google, those companies will have access to your profile name, email address and profile photo, which is something to keep in mind, especially if you don't want other people knowing you're using this site.

Tinder privacy policy

Tinder has one of the more robust privacy policies we've come across, but the impression it gives the reader is that it was written by lawyers less to inform you, the user, of your privacy rights and more to indemnify Tinder for how it uses your data. 

To begin with, they operate under an "opt out" rather than an "opt in" paradigm, so the default Tinder account is set up to allow lots of data collection, including "access to specific types of device data such as phone contacts, pictures, advertising identifiers and location services," on top of all the data you're already voluntarily sharing with Tinder. 

And unlike AFF, which was so emphatic about their refusal to sell your data that they resorted to using caps lock, Tinder uses slippery legal language: "If we 'sell' or 'share' your data or use it for 'targeted advertising,' we will provide an opt out in the 'Your Privacy Choices' link in the footer of our website and in the Settings menu of the app." The sentence begins with a conditional and then puts quotation marks around two words (sell and share) that have a pretty commonly understood meaning — not a good sign!

If you've been a long-time Tinder user and are suddenly concerned with what the app might know about you, we recommend you request a copy of your personal data, which the site allows you to download as a ZIP file, so you can see exactly what they've collected on you and decide for yourself if you want to keep using the app. 

Pure privacy policy

What about Pure, the privacy-first app that boasts about deleting your message history after 24 hours? Their privacy policy is lengthy and comprehensive, but it's also less precise than it could be. 

For example, when discussing what data Pure shares with third parties, it prominently names "service providers" as an entity that might receive your data, but they bury the lede in a lengthy list of who exactly qualifies as a service provider: "providers of telecommunications systems, email, database, hosting, customer-communication tools, outsourcing, payment, user verification, advertising, marketing, analytics, anti-spam service, security, fraud prevention, and trust and safety moderation."

Pure acknowledges that these third-party services "may also use your Personal Data for their own purposes," but then also states that, "We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your Personal Data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your Personal Data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions." Pure didn't respond to Mashable's request for comment about what this means.

And if you're a California resident, Pure uses an "opt out" rather than an "opt in" approach to data collection, so if you do plan on using the app, it's worth thoroughly exploring your account settings to ensure you're not sharing more data with the company than you would like.

TL;DR: The iPhone 17e, iPhone 17, or iPhone 17 Pro are free right now with T-Mobile. Here's everything you need to know to qualify for this promotion over Prime Day.

Prime Day is officially underway, with deals on MacBooks, AirPods, iPads, and just about everything else from Apple. But do you know where Amazon can sometimes be found lacking? Deals on iPhones never seem to be that great.

We're not fussed, because you can find some truly special deals right now on T-Mobile. And we're not talking about price cuts. We're talking about getting your hands on the latest iPhone for free. Yes, there are some hoops to jump through. But this is a free iPhone 17 we're talking about. We're more than happy to jump through anything T-Mobile throws at us.

T-Mobile has dropped a fresh batch of free iPhone deals for Prime Day:

• Apple iPhone Air — free when you trade in your eligible phone on an Experience More or Experience Beyond plan.

• Apple iPhone 17e — free when you port your number over from a competitor and activate a new line on almost any T-Mobile postpaid service plan.

• Apple iPhone 17 — free when you trade in your eligible phone on an Experience More or Experience Beyond plan.

• Apple iPhone 17 Pro — free when you switch to T-Mobile and bring your number on an Experience More or Experience Beyond plan.

We did say there are some hoops. T-Mobile isn't just handing over the latest iPhone lineup without some strings attached. The retail cost of your iPhone is offset by 24 consecutive monthly bill credits. Your monthly statement will show a charge for the financing of the phone, immediately followed by an equal credit balancing that charge to $0.

You are essentially entering a 24-month commitment with the network. If you decide to move to another carrier or upgrade to the iPhone 18 before the end of your contract, the remaining unpaid balance on the phone will be due immediately.

While Black Friday still remains top dog when it comes to online shopping holidays, Amazon Prime Day follows close behind. Despite it being Amazon's official shopping celebration for Prime members, lots of other retailers run major counter-sales to try to cash in on some of that consumer traffic. But can any of these Prime Day alternative sales actually compete with the real deal? Which rival sales are worth shopping? We've broken it all down for you.

BTW, Amazon Prime Day runs from June 23 through 26 in 2026. Most competing sales overlap these dates in some capacity, but many last longer and/or begin before Amazon's big day. Whether you want to expand your horizons this Prime Day, score all the best deals across retailers, or avoid Amazon altogether, here's a master list of all of the best Prime Day rival sales to shop, with key dates and top deals to watch.

Best Buy

• Key dates to know: June 22 - June 28

• Top deals to watch: laptops, TVs, gaming gear, headphones, small appliances

Best Buy is running a weeklong "Tech Fest" sale from June 22 to 28 in 2026. It's historically Amazon's biggest competitor when it comes to tech deals, with Amazon one-upping Best Buy by literal cents in many cases. Still, if you're looking for laptops, TVs, gaming gear, or small appliances, Best Buy is the spot to shop. The retailer's inventory is more comprehensive in these departments overall. Not to mention, Best Buy often stocks older devices that Amazon no longer carries. For instance, check out this $300 discount on a specced out Apple M4 MacBook Air.

Walmart

• Key dates to know: June 22 - June 28

• Top deals to watch: home goods, floor care, toys, outdoor gear, budget TVs, Apple accessories

The competing Prime Day Walmart Summer Deals event runs from June 22 to 28, matching Best Buy's sale. Walmart's past sales have highlighted some excellent deals on Apple accessories, budget TVs (the cheapest QLED TV we saw last Prime Day), floor care from top brands like Dyson and Shark, toys (including Lego), and surprisingly good outdoor gear.

Target

• Key dates to know: June 23 - June 26

• Top deals to watch: kitchen gadgets, books, outdoor gear, back-to-school essentials, clothing

Target is going head-to-head with Amazon this year, with its Circle Deal Days event running from June 23 through 26. Like Amazon, you have to be a Circle member to shop the best deals. Unlike Amazon, it's free to join. As in previous Circle shopping events, this year's counter-Prime Day sale at Target will feature "Deal of the Day" offers, which are only available for 24 hours. Be on the lookout for these each day. Other notable offers include up to 45% off select kitchen gadgets from Cuisinart, Keurig, and Ninja, up to 45% off floor care from Bissell and Hoover, 40% off back-to-school essentials, and 40% off select women's clothing and beauty items.

The Home Depot

• Key dates to know: June 11 - June 24, June 25 - July 8

• Top deals to watch: cordless tools, grills, lawncare, outdoor gear

The Home Depot kicked off a Father's Day sale earlier this month, and it wraps up mid-Prime Day on June 24. From there, things will switch over to a 4th of July sale and run through July 8. If you're looking for cordless tools, lawn care equipment, outdoor cooking gear, or DIY tools and storage, this is the sale to shop. Early deals already include free cordless DeWalt tools, and we're likely to see more free stuff in the coming days.

Amazon Prime Day is halfway over, but that doesn't mean there aren't tons of deals rolling out for trading card fans.

Alongside the usual Pokémon TCG and Magic: The Gathering discounts, we’re also seeing offers on One Piece, Disney Lorcana, KPop Demon Hunters, and other collectible card games. That even includes price cuts on booster boxes, starter decks, beginner boxes, bundles, and premium collections.

Below, we’ve rounded up the best Prime Day trading card deals worth shopping right now.

The Magic: The Gathering Avatar: The Last Airbender Beginner Box is already one of the easiest ways to get into MTG, and Amazon’s Prime Day price makes it even easier to jump in: now down to just $26.99 from its $34.99 list price — and even falling below its $25.59 market price determined by TCGplayer.

You’ll get two 20-card tutorial decks, eight themed half-decks, two playboards, two spindown life counters, learn-to-play guides, tokens, and a rules reference booklet. For those new to the Avatar expansion or Magic: The Gathering in general, this is the ideal way for you and a friend to jump in.

Without a doubt, camping is one of the best highlights of summer. Now that we're almost to July, you've probably checked on the condition of camping gear and noticed if anything needs upgrades to finish out the summer. While most of us shop for tech deals during Prime Day, Amazon is showing up for us outdoorsy folks this year. I've found great deals on items that make camping just that much more enjoyable.

From packing along your own shade to a portable power station that'll keep phones charged up, Prime Day has some excellent deals for your next camping trip. I've studied the sale, and these are the top products I'd recommend if you're in the market for camping upgrades during Prime Day.

Why we like it

If you've never packed a portable power station along on a camping trip, prepare for a massive upgrade. Amazon Prime Day has the Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2 on sale for $399.99, down from the list price of $799 for a sweet 50% discount.

The Solix C1000 Gen 2 has 1,024Wh of battery capacity for keeping phones charged up as well as earbuds, tablets, the campsite lights, and even the electric griddle. Plus, it can get a full recharge in under 50 minutes, so you're not in huge trouble if you don't remember to charge it up until you're packing the car.

It's intuitive to set up, weighs under five pounds, and it comfortably seats four people in the shade. The UPF 50+ sun protection is perfect for long summer days at the campground.

With Amazon Prime Day now rocking and rolling until June 26, it's a perfect time to grab headphones that can, well, also rock and roll.

That's why we have to point you towards deals on Bose, which deliver some of the best sound — and noise-cancelation — in the audio game. And these Prime Day deals are truly excellent, with the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds reaching their lowest-ever price and both the QuietComfort over-ear headphones and premium QuietComfort Ultra headphones dropping lower than Amazon Spring Sale prices.

We’ll keep tracking deals on headphones as Prime Day rolls on, so if you want Bose discounts specifically, keep checking back on this page throughout the week.

The Bose QuietComfort Headphones are a flagship not just for the brand but among audio fans in general. They boast top active noise cancelation with two modes — Quiet mode to shut out external noise and Aware mode that keeps you in tune with your surroundings. The sound is excellent and fully customisable through the EQ settings on the Bose Music app. They also look very stylish — headphones that truly make a statement.

Marked down by almost half for Prime Day, these are now listed at just $179 — that's a mega saving of $170. It's not quite their lowest-ever price but it's not far off.

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra are a step up in terms of premium features. They give you all the great stuff you get with the regular QuiteComfort cans plus Bose's spatialized audio, a 3D audio technology that puts the sound all around you to create a fully immersive listening experience. The noise cancellation gets an upgrade too. It's not just active but adaptive, which means it responds to noise around you and adjusts ANC levels in real time. The noise cancellation also combines with spatialized audio for next-level Immersion and Cinema modes. W

e've seen them available for less but that's rare. They're now $20 lower than during the Amazon Spring Sale.

If you you prefer earbuds — and you want to snag some premium buds at their best-ever price — look no further than the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds. If you've never used open earbuds before, they're a little different. Instead of sticking in your ear canal, they clip to your ear and immerse you in your sounds via spatialized OpenAudio technology. They don't close you off like regular earbuds — you can still hear the world around you — but no one will be able to hear what you're listening to.

And with a current saving of $100, it's a great time to give this innovative audio tech a whirl.

If you've been Googling how to become an influencer (or the like), you're def not alone. With the pressure of AI taking our jobs and everyone and their mother becoming "internet famous," it's hard not to wonder what it takes to get on that influencer train and make some passive income of your own.

The good news? You only need a few (super affordable) gadgets to get started, and one you've already got — your smartphone!

And since Prime Day is happening right now, you can get other stuff (e.g., a ring light, mic, headphones) for way cheaper than usual. I dug through all the garbage listings to find the creator gear deals that are worth hitting "add to cart" on today.

$89.99 Save $14   Get Deal

The Insta360 Snap Selfie Screen with Light is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: a little magnetic screen that pops onto the back of your phone so you can frame up high-res selfies and vlogs using your phone’s rear camera.

It has a 3.5-inch touchscreen that mirrors your phone's display in real time, and this specific edition includes a built-in light co-developed with beauty-tech brand AMIRO — it features three colors and five brightness levels that are supposed to make your skin look ahhmazing even in poor lighting.

DJI Mic Mini DJI Mic Mini (1 TX + 1 RX) $45 at Amazon

If you don't have a mic yet, you need to hop on this deal before it's gone. The DJI Mic Mini is one of the best upgrades you can grab if you want to make TikToks or vlogs without draining your bank account.

The tiny clip-on mic weighs just 10 grams, so it looks super discreet on camera. Plus, it’s basically idiot-proof: just plug the receiver straight into your phone, and you're ready to go. It has a 10-hour battery life and comes with built-in noise cancellation, which, according to Mashable Lead Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard, is impressive.

"With and without the noise-cancelling feature, the mic picked up my voice while barely picking up the sound of wind — birds and car engines were lost in many cases," Allard writes in her review. "To my surprise, the mic also somehow avoided picking up the piano playing, despite the fact that I was recording about 20 feet away from my partner."

Ulanzi SC-01 Heavy-Duty Suction Cup Mount Ulanzi SC-01 Heavy-Duty Suction Cup Mount $21.14 at Amazon
$29.95 Save $8.81   Get Deal at Amazon

Ever wonder how beauty influencers get those perfectly framed GRWM mirror shots without an awkward tripod knocking all their skincare products into the sink? This is the secret. The Ulanzi SC-01 is a heavy-duty suction-cup mount that lets you stick your phone or camera directly onto your bathroom mirror or a window.

It uses a manual air pump to create a vacuum seal, so it won't suddenly unstick and ruin your reel. Plus, the magic arm has a double-headed, 360-degree rotating ball head so you can angle it however you want. It's so strong that one Amazon reviewer said they used it during a one-hour helicopter flight (mounted on the windshield), and it held up through turbulence.

Good lighting is the easiest way to take a photo from so-so to oh! The Amaran Go Mini Phone Light is a super affordable way to get that studio look.

This ultra-compact, pocket-sized light snaps directly onto the back of a MagSafe-compatible iPhone (series 12 through 16) and features a clever dual-light design that lets you flip between a forward-facing main light for your videos and a built-in adjustable mirror light for quick makeup touch-ups with the click of a button.

If you're going to be editing videos or writing captions for hours, you need a comfortable pair of noise-cancelling headphones. We featured the Bose QuietComfort Headphones during last year's October Prime Day, but they're back on sale and still totally worth the hype.

Mashable Shopping Reporter Samantha Mangino reviewed them and called them her all-time favorite pair. According to her testing, you can wear them all day with glasses and earrings without experiencing ear fatigue. They have a 24-hour battery life, impressive noise cancellation for coffee-shop editing, and a physical power switch so you don't accidentally leave them on and drain the battery.

Kindle users might be the most passionate sect of BookTok, coming up with hacks to maximize the device's potential, through page turners or Stuff Your Kindle Day events. And we get it, they're the best e-readers out there. In 2024, Amazon released a new lineup of Kindles that improved upon the previous generation, which we already loved.

I've tested the Kindle Paperwhite, and spoiler alert, I do think it's a better value than the Signature Edition. However, the SE isn't without its merits. Let's get into the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition 12th generation, and whether you should buy it over the basic Kindle or Kindle Paperwhite.

Plus, I've now been using the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition for 18 months — do I still like it?

It has all the perks of the Paperwhite and more It's nearly impossible to tell the difference between the Kindle Paperwhite and Paperwhite Signature Edition. Credit: Samantha Mangino / Mashable

The Kindle Paperwhite and Paperwhite Signature Edition are essentially the same device; the Signature Edition just has the addition of a few special features. You can read all the in-depth details about why we like the Paperwhite in my review, but here's the TL;DR.

The 2024 Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is lightning fast. In comparison to the 2021 edition, the difference is noticeable, with no hesitation when flipping through pages. However, the biggest improvement comes when switching between books in your library, as it zips through tasks.

With a 7-inch screen, the SE got a slight size increase, while the resolution of 300 ppi and maximum brightness of 94 nits remain the same between generations. That being said, the display on this generation looks higher contrast, making it sharper and easier to read. Plus, it remains waterproof, perfect for taking along to the bathtub, beach, or pool.

SEE ALSO: I've read hundreds of free Kindle books with this app. Here's how.

Not to mention it comes with 32GB of storage. If you're thinking in terms of phones or tablets, that amount of storage might seem small, but keep in mind that 32GB has the potential to hold up to 32,000 e-books.

You get all of these great features in both the Kindle Paperwhite and Paperwhite Signature Edition, so what makes the SE unique?

The same great battery life as the Kindle Paperwhite

Kindles are unbeatable on one front: battery life. The Kindle Paperwhite and Signature Edition boast the same battery life of up to 12 weeks. The Signature Edition can go months without charging, but it doesn't have a longer life than the standard Paperwhite. The only battery life bonus you get with the Signature Edition is its wireless charging capabilities.

The Paperwhite vs. Signature Edition: What does $40 extra get you?

The Paperwhite Signature Edition has several added features that come with its $40 increase in price. For $199.99, it comes with an ad-free lock screen, 32GB of storage, auto-adjusting brightness, and wireless charging. Plus, it comes in metallic versions of the Kindle Paperwhite's black, jade, and raspberry.

Among the added features, the lock screen is the biggest draw. On a standard Kindle, ads pop up on the lock screen, forcing Amazon's recommendations on you. Not necessarily a dealbreaker, but still plenty annoying. So the Signature Edition does away with the ads, freeing you from the chains of capitalism (sort of). However, this does come with one catch. The ad-free lock screen tends to unlock easily when tossing it into a bag since there's no 'swipe to unlock' mechanism that the ad-enabled devices have. So if you're going to get the Signature Edition, make sure to get a case with a cover.

Auto-adjusting brightness

In terms of the other features, I didn't think they were anything to write home about. The auto-adjusting brightness didn't work consistently, even when I went from reading next to a lamp to turning off the lights; the auto-adjustment didn't kick in, and I always had to manually turn the brightness down.

Wireless charging

The wireless charging, while nice, didn't feel like the most necessary addition since you need to charge the device every three months. Plus, with most devices using USB-C these days, I'm never in short supply of chargers.

Now let's address the 32GB in the room. For an e-reader, that is an exorbitant amount of storage. It's double the amount of the standard Kindle Paperwhite, and again, 32,000 books' worth of storage. That is a lot of books. Is that much necessary? In my professional opinion, no, especially when you can remove downloaded books from your device and redownload from the Kindle cloud at any time. So if you think you need all that storage, you probably don't, and it's not worth splurging an extra $40 on it.

Differences between the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition 12th generation and 11th generation

If you already have the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition 11th generation, you may be wondering if it's worth it to upgrade to the next generation. Short answer: Absolutely not. Unless your 11th-gen Signature Edition has kicked the bucket, the differences between the 11th generation and 12th generation are negligible. Both devices have all the premium features of 32GB of storage, wireless charging, auto-adjusting brightness, and no lockscreen ads.

The main differences between the two devices are faster processing and a slightly larger screen. Having used both devices, the processing speeds are extremely similar, but the 12th generation's extra speed is admittedly hard to notice. The larger screen size is nice, but it's only a difference of .2-inches.

All that to say, don't run to upgrade unless your old device is on its last leg.

Do I still use the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition?

I first published this review in December 2024, so more than 18 months later, what do I think of the Paperwhite Signature Edition? Well, I use it every day. After a year and a half of use, the SE still has impressive performance, quickly maneuvering through pages and loading new downloads quickly. It has slowed down some; I noticed it particularly when turning on the device, but it's pretty negligible. What hasn't faltered? The battery life, which lasts for months at a time.

I'm lucky enough to have the whole Kindle lineup at my disposal, so why is the Signature Edition the one I keep reaching for? Lack of ads on the lockscreen is a big one, although the standard Paperwhite can be ad-free for just $20 more. What keeps me coming back to the Signature Edition is its 32GB of storage.

Many of the books I read are downloaded directly to my Kindle, and currently, I have 175 books on my SE. Those books take up only 674MB of storage, and I still have 24.8GB (or 24,800MB) available. Doing just a little math, that means I have room for over 6,000 more downloads. Do I think I'll ever actually have over 6,000 books on my Kindle? Probably not, but it's nice to not have to think twice about adding a new book to my device.

Is the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition worth it? Is 32GB worth the $200 price tag? We're unconvinced. Credit: Samantha Mangino / Mashable

For the average user, I don't think the Signature Edition is a worthy upgrade. The Kindle Paperwhite is far better bang for your buck, packed with everything you need for the ultimate reading experience. It might be worth the splurge if you do have storage concerns — maybe you've maxed out on 16GB on previous Kindle models. Otherwise, 16GB will be fine. And if you're really put off by lock screen ads, then the Signature Edition is going to be your preferred device.

Plus, it has some real longevity. I've been using it for 18 months, and it's barely slowed down. So even if it's an investment, you won't be buying a new one for years.

You don't need to drop $300+ on a luxury pair of cans to get high-end sound. We've hands-on tested the Sony WH-CH720N long-term, and they're easily the best mid-range headphones on the market. They deliver crisp, vibrant audio with an impactful bass that doesn't muddy up your tracks, plus they give you access to premium Sony tech like DSEE upscaling and 360 Reality Audio.

Our reviewer, Alex Bracetti, used them to silence everything from loud pedestrian traffic and heavy construction tools to his own toddler. They also have a 35-hour battery life with ANC turned on — which beats the playtime you get on luxury models like the Apple AirPods Max or Bose QuietComfort Ultras.

I used to own one of these until it succumbed to a very tragic bout of human error, but before that, it was the most dependable thing in my house. If you have pets (I have two beagles), this thing is a lifesaver. It lifts ground-in pet stains out of carpets and couches almost immediately.

The only real caveat is that it sounds like a small jet engine taking off in your living room. But honestly, for how well the 4-inch Tough Stain Tool removes stains from rugs, couches, and car seats, the noise is totally worth it. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and small enough to shove into a closet when you're done.

We're pro Ninja frozen treat makers here at Mashable, but we're also pro dupes when we can find them. At its record-low price of $129.99, Black+Decker's ice cream maker is a solid Ninja Creami dupe to consider. It operates very similarly: Once liquid base ingredients have been mixed and frozen for 24 hours, the ice cream maker whips them into the perfect fluffy texture — regular ice cream, yogurt ice cream, and sorbet are all options. Follow the recipes in the included book or customize your own unique flavors around dietary restrictions or fun mix-ins.

"The active noise cancellation on them is impressive for their price, able to block out the bustle of busy streets or the noisy gym," wrote Mashable Shopping Reporters Bethany Allard and Samantha Mangino.

Amazon Prime Day is in full swing, and the Amazon device deals prove it.

Echo devices from bedside clocks to full smart displays are on sale, including drops to record-low prices. One of the most notable is the Echo Show 11, which, at 32% off, sits $20 below the previous record low price. The Amazon Echo Dot Max also dropped to $64.99, which is $10 less than its last lowest price ever.

In other words, if you've been waiting to buy an Echo device, Prime Day is perhaps the absolute time to do it, with some possible Black Friday exceptions. Take advantage of these deals during Amazon's sitewide sale from now until June 26.

If you want to incorporate Alexa+, and its abilities to control your smart home and make meal plans and manage your calendar, the Echo Show 11 is designed to do exactly that. CNET, also owned by Ziff Davis, wrote that it's an especially great addition to a kitchen space. At 11 inches, it's big enough to actually be functional to watch or read on, but small enough that it's unobtrusive to the kitchen as a whole. It brings together all the best parts of previous Echo Show devices, and at $149.99, it is at the lowest price we've ever seen.

Last year, Amazon surprised us by dropping a boatload of Prime Day streaming deals for the first time. In 2026, it's basically rinse and repeat. And that's not a bad thing.

Prime Day isn't just for deals on TVs and headphones anymore — it's also a great time to load up your digital libraries with streaming subscriptions, so long as you're a Prime member. (Not yet a member? Sign up here.) One of the biggest perks of having a Prime account is gaining access to Prime Video, Amazon's own streaming service. While Prime Video itself isn't on sale, tons of subscription add-ons are, including premium options like Apple TV, AMC+, and Paramount+.

In the days leading up to the official Prime Day kickoff (which takes place June 23 through 26 this year), HBO Max also dropped a killer deal. It quickly took our top spot for the best Prime Day streaming deal.

I'll be keeping an eye out for you, and updating this list if any new streaming deals roll in. I'm not expecting much to change throughout Prime Day, so be sure to jump on these deals ASAP. This will likely be your only chance to snag a steep discount until the end of the year — so, act fast if you see a deal you like.

HBO Max always gives us one of the best streaming deals for Black Friday, but this is the first time it's decided to hop aboard the Prime Day express. And it's kicking off its Prime Day deal debut with a bang: new and returning subscribers can get any annual subscription for 40% off. Yes, that means this deal isn't just limited to the ad-supported tier like it is on Black Friday.

Typically, HBO Max annual subscriptions cost $109.99 for the Basic with ads tier, $184.99 for Standard (no ads), and $229.99 for Premium (no ads + 4K). Through July 15, however, you'll only pay $78.99, $132.99, or $164.99, respectively. After your first year, your subscription will revert to full price unless you cancel. Still, that's 12 whole months of streaming for 40% less than usual.

Psst: If you don't want to deal with logging into another streaming service, this deal is also available in the form of a Prime Video add-on.

Best Prime Day streaming add-on deal Paramount+ streaming deals: Standalone deal Paramount+ Premium $0.99/month for 2 months (save $13/month) Get Deal prime video add-on Paramount+ (Prime Video add-on) $0.99/month for 2 months (save $13/month) Get Deal Roku add-on Paramount+ Premium (Roku add-on) $0.99/month for 2 months (save $13/month) Get Deal Why we like it

Like clockwork, we can always count on Paramount+ to dish out one of the best streaming deals during major shopping events. The streamer has resurrected the exact same streaming deal from last Prime Day for 2026, only this time it's technically a better offer since Paramount+ raised its prices earlier this year. Typically $13.99 per month for a Premium subscription (that's the ad-free tier with Showtime), you'll get two months for just 99 cents a piece. That saves you $26 total.

The Paramount+ library is surprisingly robust. Premium subscribers can enjoy Paramount+ Originals like Landman and RuPaul Drag Race All Stars, Showtime series like Dexter Resurrection and Yellowjackets, CBS shows like Survivor and Big Brother live, UFC fights, and nostalgic shows from Nickelodeon and MTV. That's not even counting the massive movie lineup (including Paramount Pictures movies straight from the theater).

The discount is only valid through the end of Prime Day on June 26, so be sure to sign up before then. You can grab the deal directly through Paramount+ itself or as a subscription add-on via Prime Video or Roku.

Best Prime Day music streaming deal Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Music Unlimited Amazon Music Unlimited free for 4 months (save $11.99/month) Get Deal Why we like it

If you're not committed to a music streamer, now's a good time to check out Amazon Music Unlimited without spending a cent. Through June 29, new subscribers can secure four free months. Typically $11.99 per month for Prime members, that's a total of $47.96 in savings. Amazon Music Unlimited unlocks a massive music catalog that you can listen to on-demand, ad-free, and in the highest quality possible. Beyond music itself, Unlimited subscriptions also include "the most ad-free podcasts" of any of the major music apps, as well as one free audiobook per month via Audible. Even if you do already subscribe to another music streaming service, it's worth it to take a pause from payments for four months and lock in this deal.

We're in the midst of Prime Day, Amazon's annual flagship sale, which runs from June 23 to 26, and plenty of Amazon devices are on sale. We always expect some of the best deals during Prime Day to be on Amazon's very own devices, and that's playing out no differently this year. Prices have been slashed on Amazon devices, with discounts of up to 65%.

Some of the biggest savings are on Amazon Fire TVs. Every size and a variety of brands are all on sale, saving you hundreds of dollars on 4K TVs. But there are also some big savings on home security and smart home devices, too.

While the lead-up to this sale already had many of the deals live, Kindles were finally discounted with the sale's official start on June 23. Our favorite deal is on the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, which dropped to its lowest price ever.

Here are all the Prime Day deals on Amazon devices available now:

Echo prices dropped in the week leading up to Prime Day. The latest Echo devices, the Echo Dot Max and Echo Studio, both hit new, all-time low prices. But the biggest discount is on the Amazon Echo Spot, the smart alarm clock. This tiny speaker sits compactly on nightstands but provides everything you need to start your morning, including a weather report and tunes to get you out of bed.

During Prime Day, get the Amazon Echo Spot for just $44.99. That saves you $35 off its $79.99 price tag for a 44% discount.

There's nothing better than a smart TV that provides access to all your favorite streaming services, no extraneous streaming sticks or devices needed. During Prime Day, Fire TV sales are plentiful. The best deal is on the Toshiba 43-inch Class C350 LED 4K Smart TV, which is down to $159.99, saving you $140 off. We're keeping our fingers crossed it drops back down to its pre-Prime Day price of $138.98. Still, this 4K TV is great, coming equipped with Dolby Vision Atmos for clearer sound and picture for the best possible viewing experience.

TV deals move fast during big sales, so if this deal looks good to you, buy it quick before it sells out.

It's officially the best time of year to buy a Kindle, and the prices on these e-readers reflect that. The Paperwhite Signature Edition is Mashable's top pick for the best upgraded Kindle, and for good reason. It has 32GB of storage — more than any other Kindle (minus the Scribe) — and auto-adjusting screen brightness, so it's ready for reading in any situation. Even at its full $200 list price, we think it's an e-reader worthy of heavy consideration. At $145, it easily offers the best value for serious readers.

Summer is the ideal time to tackle home DIY projects. The paint will dry quicker, there are more hours of daylight, and maybe even some friends around to help out. If you have a list of home and yard projects to take care of this summer, make sure you have the necessary tools. Nothing sidelines a weekend project quite like realizing you need to run to the hardware store.

Amazon Prime Day is here and so are the earbud deals. This year's Prime Day runs June 23 to 26, but the sale was hot before it even began.

The actual start date felt like a bit of a formality after the AirPods Pro 3 hit record low prices twice this week. They even dropped to $169 at Walmart on June 18, knocking $80 off the normal $249 price.

The Apple AirPods Pro 3 dropped down to a record low price of $179 ahead of Prime Day, but then the price dropped even lower before the sale's official start. According to the price tracker camelcamelcamel, the Pro 3 buds got down to $169 at Amazon, but at the time of writing, that specific deal is gone. Now that Prime Day has officially started, you can still find them for $179 and in stock at both Amazon and Best Buy. If the price drops back down to $169 again, we'll be sure to sound the alarm.

The EarFun Air Pro 4 are the best earbuds you've probably never heard of. They're our top pick for noise-cancelling earbuds under $100 on a normal day. Now that they're down to just slightly over $50 for Prime Day, we can't recommend them enough. We struggled to find the flaws of these budget-friendly buds upon testing. They offer excellent battery life and noise cancellation (which has manually adjustable levels), multipoint connectivity, a well-rounded sound profile, and obviously, a price that's hard to beat.

Best open earbuds deal Sony LinkBuds Clip $178 at Amazon

The Sony LinkBuds Clip give the ultra-popular Bose Ultra Open earbuds a run for their money. In my head-to-head testing of the two pairs of earbuds, I found that while the Bose buds generally lean louder, the Sony earbuds have a more detailed sound profile, making for an overall superior listening experience. They also have a longer battery life, delivering nine hours per charge, where the Bose earbuds deliver seven. With both earbuds on sale, there's only a 99-cent price discrepancy between the two, but if you don't anticipate using these earbuds in many noisy situations, the Sony earbuds are likely the way to go.
