The luxury SUV that makes more sense than an Escalade
Luxury SUV shoppers tend to head straight for the Cadillac Escalade, but there's another GM full-size SUV hiding in plain sight. The GMC Yukon Denali shares much of what makes the Escalade so desirable, yet costs thousands less.
3 must-have Linux apps to try this weekend (Jun 26-28)
The Linux terminal is incredibly powerful, but using it can feel like a chore—especially if you’re new to Linux. You have to remember too many commands, type out long strings with absolute precision, and parse dense, text-only output. But that friction is just the default experience. With the right tools, you can make the terminal far more intuitive and visually useful. To help you out, here are three such must-have Linux terminal apps to try this weekend.
3 great new HBO Max documentaries to watch this weekend (June 26-28)
House of the Dragon is safely dominating the HBO Max charts at the moment, and for good reason—the series kicked off with a pretty epic naval battle and a shocking death. Dragons are, of course, cool and all, but it's the real-life, hard-to-believe stories of a good documentary that hit the hardest, and HBO Max has had one of the best non-fiction libraries in streaming that mix timely issues, fascinating subcultures, and human stories.
Samsung wants SmartThings API users to pay, and Home Assistant could suffer

Bumble in serious decline as it considers sale, reports say
The dating app Bumble is considering a sale, according to a Reuters report Thursday. And fresh data from market intelligence firm Sensor Tower, shared with Mashable, may help explain why.
Bumble has experienced the largest decline in global downloads among top dating apps over the past year and a half, according to Sensor Tower.
What's going on at Bumble?It's no secret that Bumble has been going through a tough time for the past few years. Its stock is down 96 percent from its IPO at the time of this writing, even with a boost given the news of a potential sale.
SEE ALSO: How to sign up for 'Double Date Island,' Tinder's new TikTok dating showBumble began with the distinction that women began the conversation (in heterosexual matches). But the company decided to switch it up in 2024, allowing men to message first with the "Opening Moves" feature.
The app has since removed Opening Moves in Mexico and Australia, signaling that it wasn't a hit among users.
During Bumble's Q4 2025 earnings call, founder and CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd announced that Bumble will test an AI-powered dating experience, even as the numbers showed the app's total revenue and paying users decreased year over year. The year-over-year dips in total revenue and paying users continued in Q1 2026.
Wolfe Herd also recently shared that Bumble is removing its swipe feature. While she wasn't forthcoming about what will replace it, her mention of the potential AI assistant and matchmaker seemed a strong indication to many Bumble users. Their reaction was less than positive.
How Bumble is exploring a saleSources close to the company told Reuters that Bumble is working with Morgan Stanley investment bankers on a potential sale process. It's not a done deal, however, and the app might stay independent.
Bumble didn't respond to Reuters' request for comment. Morgan Stanley and asset manager Blackstone, which reportedly owns 22 percent of Bumble, also declined. Mashable has also reached out to Bumble for comment.
The buzz on Bumble's numbersSensor Tower's senior insights analyst, Kara Lee, reported that in 2025 and the first half of 2026, global Bumble downloads fell by 23 percent and 15 percent year-over-year, respectively. Between Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble, Bumble has seen the greatest decline in global total downloads, Sensor Tower says.
Tinder's downloads decreased in the same time period, Lee wrote, but by four percent and two percent year-over-year, respectively. Downloads of Hinge, meanwhile, increased by 14 percent and 25 percent during this time, respectively.
This is consistent with the financial reports. Tinder and Hinge are both owned by Match Group, and according to their Q1 2026 earnings, Hinge's direct revenue and paying users are up year over year. For Tinder, those metrics were down in previous quarters, but now it's making something of a comeback, as its direct revenue was up two percent year over year.
Hinge is also beating its two main rivals in monthly active users (MAU), according to Lee. They're up 23 percent year over year in 2025 and 25 percent year over year in the first half of 2026.
Bumble's user base, however, has experienced consistent declines over the last five quarters, Lee reported. While its monthly active users increased by 4 percent year over year in the first quarter of 2025, they dropped by 14 percent year over year a year later.
Tinder's monthly active users have fallen slightly, but it averages a mobile user base that's 2.5 times larger than Bumble's.
So while Bumble isn't the only dating app struggling, it might be faring the worst right now.
50+ Prime Day outdoor deals: Last chance to grab rare Yeti cooler deals
We've made it all the way to the end of Prime Day, which means this is the final (offical) day to save. Even if you're not a hardcore fan of spending time outdoors, you could likely benefit from some fresh outdoor gear, and Prime Day has you covered. If you don't require a new tent, a comfortable chair to take to the park or the fall soccer game could come in clutch. Amazon Prime Day is always an excellent time to snag fresh outdoor gear. Plus, Prime Day shifting to the end of June this year means you'll have even more time to enjoy the new gear before the weather turns cold.
SEE ALSO: Amazon just dropped some rare Prime Day camping deals on Yeti and Coleman gearBefore the sale even started, there were plenty of power stations and portable speakers on sale. And now that we're in the thick of it, even more outdoor deals on things like Yeti coolers (which rarely go on sale), Coleman tents, and LifeStraw water filters (one of our favorite classic Prime Day deals) have entered the mix.
The sale runs through June 26, and we're tracking all the best Prime Day outdoor deals below.
We will be regularly updating this guide with the best outdoor deals, so keep checking back. You can also visit our Prime Day 2026 hub for all the latest updates and price drops or our live blog for the most up-to-date deals, news, and stock alerts.

There are certain classic Prime Day deals we can count on year after year, and big discounts on Coleman camping supplies is definitely one of them. Coleman is one of the best-known names in camping, and this spacious 4-person tent is easy to set up in a pinch. Plus, it's PFAS-free for added peace of mind.

After testing dozens of portable power stations, the Anker Solix C2000 Gen 2 is the model I take on every camping trip. I like to slightly overestimate my power needs while camping (what if I decide to stay an extra night?), so I prefer the 2,048Wh offered by the C2000 Gen 2.
Anker made this as lightweight as possible, and despite landing in the 2k Wh category, it only weighs about 42 pounds. That'll be a manageable weight for camping trips where the campsite is near the car. It's also perfect for powering up the outdoor projector in the backyard for movie nights this summer. The Prime Day sale price of $699.99 is the lowest price we've seen this year at Amazon. It has since jumped up to $799.99, but we'll be keeping an eye out to see if the lower price returns.

Read Mashable's full review of the Anker Nebula Capsule 3 Laser Projector.
Some of the best summer nights are those spent outside, but if you'd like a bit of variety from staring at campfire flames, consider an outdoor projector. The Anker Nebula Capsule 3 Laser is one of my favorite projectors, and it's perfect for backyard movie nights. The onboard battery lasts for about 2.5 hours before you'll need to plug it into power. It can project on a screen up to 120 inches, and it's easy to bring outside. Instead of lugging out a beast of a projector, the Nebula Capsule 3 Laser weighs a bit over two pounds, and it's similar in size to a 12-ounce can of cola.
The Prime Day sale price of $509.99 matches the lowest we've ever seen at Amazon, but it's rare to see it dip this low, so grab it before the price increases.

Any outdoorsy person knows Yeti products come with premium price tags and that those steep costs don't drop often. Yeti coolers, specifically, rarely go on sale, but during Prime Day and other major sale events, the brand discounts select colors of many of its popular options. One of our top picks this Prime Day is the Hopper M30 portable soft cooler, which dropped down to $227.50 on day two of Prime Day. Now that we're on day three, the price has jumped a smidge to $245. While it's not quite the same discount, it's still an excellent sale price that's worth jumping on before Prime Day ends in a handful of hours.
The M30 soft cooler features powerful magnets that create a leak-resistant shield, a high-density dryhide shell that withstands everything from punctures to UV rays, a hitchpoint grid for attaching dry gear cases, bottle openers, multitools, and more, and of course, coldcell insulation. It can hold up to 36 cans or 22 pounds of ice. If you don't need something quite as big, check out the Hopper Flip 12 (also on sale), which can hold a case of beer or 16 pounds of ice.

Amazon devices are heavily discounted on Prime Day — shop Fire TVs and Kindles on sale
We're in the final few hours of Prime Day, Amazon's annual flagship sale, which runs through June 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, like the Amazon Echo lineup.
SEE ALSO: Prime Day 2026: Live updates on Apple, Samsung, DJI, Kindle, and more Amazon dealsKindles 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. Keep in mind that Prime Day sales end tonight. While Amazon is notorious for extending some deals beyond Prime Day, that almost never applies to Amazon devices, so consider this your last chance.
Best Prime Day Echo deals Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Echo Spot $44.99 at Amazon$79.99 Save $35.00 Get Deal
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 $39.99. That saves you $40 off its $79.99 price tag for a 50% discount. You can also bundle this deal with four months of free access to Amazon Music Unlimited while still sticking with the $39.99 sale price.

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. Keep in mind this deal ends tonight, so shop today if you're interested.

The best deal on headphones goes to the Sony WH-1000XM5s, an older pair of flagship cans that we still love and recommend. "They [have] unbeatable ANC and sound for the money, and even in 2026, they sound shockingly good," writes Bethany Allard, our resident headphones expert. Normally $399.99, they're marked down to just $198 for Prime Day — a 50% savings and their lowest price ever.

Our e-reader reviewer, Samantha Mangino, and our tech editor have both raved about this Amazon device, and it's back to its lowest-ever price for Prime Day. At its record-low price of $124.99, or 22% off, the excellent Kindle Paperwhite has proven to be one of the most popular Prime Day deals among Mashable readers this year. Compared to the regular Kindle, the Paperwhite has a larger display, better battery life, a waterproof rating, and an adjustable warm light.

The Acer Aspire 14 AI is a smaller version of our favorite budget Windows laptop. It has a long battery life, a 1200p touchscreen, and two Thunderbolt 4 ports (which you don't normally see on laptops this cheap). Amazon's Prime Day deal on it looks extra-good in the wake of Apple's MacBook Neo price hike, according to our laptop tester Haley Henschel.

DJI's entire fleet of gadgets is on sale this Prime Day, and this deal on its DJI Mini 3 is a standout. Amazon has it discounted to $269, or 36% off — its lowest price ever. (It was $30 more expensive during Amazon's Big Spring Sale in March.) This lightweight entry-level drone can shoot 4K video and fly for almost 40 minutes on a single charge.
Keep in mind that, thanks to the U.S. drone ban and DJI's problems with the FCC, the company's drones and new releases are sold through third-party sellers on Amazon. Not only that, but now that we're mostly through Prime Day, many DJI drones are out of stock.

Ready for summer adventures? If you're gearing up to pack the car and head into nature, don't forget to invest in a portable power station to keep your campsite powered. Plus, it can serve as an at-home power backup in an emergency.
Prime Day and Black Friday are the best times of year to buy these popular devices, and one of our favorite Bluetti power stations is at its lowest price of the year. The Bluetti Elite is a good entry point if you've never owned a power station before. Weighing less than 10 pounds, it's a lightweight device built for weekend excursions.

For the first three days of Prime Day, we've been recommending a great deal on the Samsung 65-inch S90F OLED 4K Smart TV, arguably the best TV available right now. However, after a surprise $100 price drop on the award-winning LG C5 Series OLED TV, we have a new top TV deal to recommend. LG's C Series OLED TVs have incredibly bright and crisp displays, and the 65-inch version has never been on sale for this price before. We wouldn't be surprised if this offer sells out.

Multiple Mashable team members have tested (and loved) the Oura Ring 4. While it's recently been replaced by the slightly thinner Oura Ring 5, we're big fans of this smart ring. One of our former reporters even wore this ring while training for and then running the New York City marathon.

While it's not a huge discount, we have to call out this gaming deal from Walmart's Summer Sale. So far, we've seen a lot of interest in Prime Day PlayStation deals, but not a lot of actual PlayStation deals. That's probably because of all the recent price increases in the gaming world. So, take advantage of this discount on the popular PlayStation wireless controller, which is just $65.60 right now at Walmart.

Porsche beat every automaker at initial quality—here's the other surprising winners
Ford and Porsche may have very different pricing strategies, but they do have one thing in common. They both topped the most recent JD Power 2026 U.S. Initial Quality Study (IQS). The 2026 IQS measured the number of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100) experienced in the first 90 days of ownership.
The fastest-growing jobs in the creator economy dont require going viral
With the ever-growing state of the creator economy, the allure of being a content creator is more prevalent than ever. Some of the most accessible jobs in the field, however, aren't the ones that require going viral on your own.
Two different panels at VidCon 2026 focused about the jobs that exist behind the camera, from editors to talent agents. This kind of focus makes sense: the next generation of creators will think more like media companies than ever before, and a media company needs its staff to survive.
"We all know at this point that the number one job in the country right now that kids want to do is to be a content creator, but I feel like that's 1% of what's actually happening in the creator economy," said Adorian Deck, creator and the founder-CEO of Decked Media, a company which helps creators and brands build out their multi-platform strategy.
Making yourself valuable in the creator spaceAmong the jobs available in the creator economies are the usual suspects of entertainment: editors, talent managers, and producers. But that's only one piece of the pie. There are heads of creator development, post supervisors for content, accountants, finance managers, and chiefs of staff.
No matter the exact job description, panelists talked about the importance of being adaptable.
Editors Sara Currie, YB Chang Biste, and talent manager Gil Krueger (far right) talked about finding opportunity on the panel Behind the Camera: the Jobs Powering the Creators. Credit: Bethany Allard / MashableYB Chang Biste, creator, former senior editor for the Try Guys, and now freelancer, said that being quick to adjust to different styles of creators helped her establish herself in her career.
"You could be the best editor in the world, but if you meet a YouTuber who has a very specific style of editing and style of humor that you might not be familiar with, you might not be the best editor in the world anymore," Chang Biste said.
SEE ALSO: The creator strategies still working in an AI-saturated internetSean Klitzner, who was the co-creator, showrunner, and creative director of Beast Games, talked about when he initially started working with Mr. Beast, he started out in a creative wall. Then, he noticed they needed production help. From there, he noticed the budget needed reworking, and shortly after became Mr. Beast's chief of staff.
"I just said yes to whatever they needed," he said, before distilling his experience to a simple piece of advice: "Go through the door that's open."
Finding jobs supporting creatorsSo how does a person go about actually breaking into the space? Partially, it relates back to going through that open door. However, it can also entail going down traditional job channels.
"This is gonna sound like super old man advice but LinkedIn is your friend," said Gil Kruger, who runs the creator talent management agency Best Regards Media. Chad Wild Clay, the creator behind Spy Ninjas, also echoed this, saying that his company regularly posts jobs on LinkedIn.
Networking, of course, was also pushed as an essential part of finding work. Chang Biste and former editor for Mr. Beast, Sara Currie, also pointed to the online network they're a part of: EditHers, a group which brings together women editors on YouTube. Groups like these can be vital for making connections, and seeing call outs for work you wouldn't otherwise.
Klitzner also pointed to behind-the-scenes jobs being a viable point of entry for anyone who eventually wants to be a creator in front of the camera:
"Go learn everything you have to do to get to that point," he said.

The tech product dilemma: buy now or wait for lower prices?
In 2026, as tech product prices rise, we're having deja vu all over again. A year ago, President Donald Trump's ever-changing tariffs had tech product prices skyrocketing. Consumers found themselves asking the question: Should I buy that laptop or smartphone, or should I wait?
Now, thanks to the AI boom, we're experiencing a shortage of computer memory known as RAMageddon, we're asking that question once again. Our recommendation: If you need it, buy it now. Why? Because there's no telling when prices will drop — or even if they will.
When we posed this question to consumer experts last year, they recommended buying products like laptops, smartphones, and gaming consoles sooner rather than later as price hikes were on the way. Lo and behold, that prediction turned out to be accurate.
And prices are still rising. Apple just announced price hikes across all of its products, except the iPhone, just this week. MacBook Pros will now be $300 to $500 more expensive than they were just days ago. Last month, Nintendo raised the price of its Switch 2 console by $50. And Apple's CEO has warned of steeper prices on the iPhone 18 when it launches in September.
In short, a future "deal" on these products will very likely resemble their present prices.
It is possible that prices go back down if the AI bubble bursts and data center expansions are put on hold. But just the current buildout is going to have knock-on effects for some time to come. Earlier this year, for example, Western Digital said that the AI industry has basically bought out its entire storage supply for 2026, with agreements already being put in place for 2027 and 2028.
Of course, your mileage may vary on the "buy it now" front. If you've decided your near-decade old PC is no longer cutting it for work, that's a must-have purchase. You don't want to end up spending hundreds of dollars more on a laptop that was $500 less just yesterday.
But if you just upgraded your smartphone or laptop last year, it might make more sense to skip a version or two, and wait to see what prices look like at the end of the decade — or on Black Friday, for that matter.
After all, the enormous price hikes could backfire for some tech companies, forcing them to bring prices back down to Earth — even if it eats into their profit margins.
3 excellent new Netflix shows to watch this weekend (June 26-28)
If you look at the Netflix Top 10 for the U.S. at the moment, you're still likely to see a scathing documentary series about Michael Jackson, Tina Fey and her pals gallivanting around vacation locations, and more than a couple true-crime docs vying for your time. Not to mention the World Cup trying to coax you out to a crowded sports bar. But if you're looking for something new to watch on Netflix that isn't any of those things, you've come to the right place.

What streaming platforms wants from creators like The Besties
The Besties are coming to Amazon's Fire TV Stick this summer, as announced at the VidCon 2026 panel, What Happens When a Creator's Social Content is a Big Streamer's Pipeline?
But what can other creators learn from The Besties' success? In this panel moderated by NorthStar Media Group producer Ivana Kirkbride, Besties Mackenzie Turner and Lael Hansen were joined by Pocketwatch CEO Chris H. Williams, and Global Head of Partnerships at Amazon's Fire TV Channels Dan Green. Together, they laid out the secrets to the Besties' success and what other creators need to know if they want their content on ad-revenue streaming platforms like Amazon Fire TV.
"If it works on YouTube, it'll work anywhere."
Williams repeated this in the panel, stressing that horizontal long-form content translates well to streaming services like Hulu and Amazon Fire. "As a brand and as content," he explained, "It's proven it's meddle in this insanely competitive environment, and now I have nine years of data to prove it."
From there, he explained what Pocketwatch looks for, with Green confirming along the way.

1. Watch time.Green noted that Amazon will look at a creator's subscriber numbers. But streamer studios/distributors are more interested in how long subscribers are watching. Are they making it through a full video? Watching one after another? Engagement and watch time is a better indicator of carrying over an audience than subscriber number.
"A 15-second view is different than a 15-minute view, right?" Williams explained. "In terms of the engagement of the audience, the level of fandom, what's going to translate when we take it somewhere else."
Turner expanded on this, saying that The Besties fandom is more engaged in their long-form content twice a week, making their show a part of their routine.
Green noted that a regular cadence for posting is also a good sign to streamers about a creator's ability to keep an audience interested.
2. Where are they big?Williams explained that Pocketwatch is focusing on domestic audiences, so being big in the U.S. or at least with English-speaking audiences is a factor for him.
3. What device are they being consumed on?Streamers want to know if creator content will be watched on television. Green noted that 20-somethings who grew up watching content on their phones and tablets are now watching that same content on TV. Kirkbride asked if Amazon had internal data to back that up, and while he declined to expand on her question he confirmed they do.
4. Horizontal over Vertical; Long form over short form"That's what people want to watch," Green said of the horizontal, long-form content like The Besties put out. "It fits more of a laid-back TV viewing experience versus on a mobile [experience]. Mobile is more sort of for short, quickly consuming something where you've got a few spare minutes."
Williams agreed, saying, "No one has cracked the code on how to distribute vertical video, yet you know everybody's been trying."

The Ford Mustang GT is an almost perfect sports car—but it has a fatal flaw
Modern performance cars have become astonishingly capable, delivering supercar levels of speed and handling for a fraction of the price. Yet, in the pursuit of outright performance, many have lost some of the engagement that made enthusiast cars so special in the first place.
Ever wonder what people actually buy on Prime Day? Heres what Mashable readers have purchased so far.
Prime Day was overwhelming enough when it felt like every single item ever was on sale for a single day. But in 2026, when you have four whole days to stress over all of the money-saving opportunities, some serious guidance is necessary. You could narrow down the best Prime Day deals by seeking out products at record-low prices or strictly shopping products that are at least half off. Another smart way to decide what to spend your money on is to see what other people already spent their own money on.

If you're still looking to shop, just know that Prime Day officially runs through the end of June 26. (Many deals quietly stay live for the day or two afterward though.)
Here's what people have been adding to their cars:
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select $9.99$39.99 Save $30 save $30 with code SELECT4K Get Deal
Out of the laundry list of Amazon devices with heavy discounts for Amazon's own sale, the $9.99 Fire Stick really called to Mashable readers. The Fire TV Stick 4K Select is already the most budget-friendly Fire stick, but a promo code appearing in the listing dropped it to just 10 bucks.
Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle Nintendo Switch 2 Gaming Console (Choose Your Game Bundle) $499 at AmazonSee It at Amazon
The chances of the Switch 2 itself seeing a direct discount are basically nonexistent. The next best thing is getting a free game thrown in with your Switch 2 purchase. With Amazon's Choose Your Game bundle, you can grab a Switch 2 and a copy of Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, or Pokémon Pokopia for the regular price of the console alone ($499). Mashable readers were psyched to avoid dropping an extra $79.99 on one of the year's most popular games.
New or current Switch 2 owners also used Prime Day to expand their console's storage for cheap. Mashable readers flocked to the 256GB Samsung P9 Express microSDXC card, which is 50 percent off.
Bluetti Elite 30 V2 Solar Generator Bluetti Elite 30 V2 $199 at Amazon$285 Save $86 Get Deal at Amazon
Get in loser, we're touching grass this summer. That's the vibe we're getting from the popularity of the Bluetti Elite 30 V2, a compact little solar generator that'd be great for camping or a road trip. For less than $200, why not grab one as a backup for emergencies?
The color selection is certainly another big selling point: This compact generator comes in pink, blue, and purple on top of the expected black and white.
Pokémon Chaos Rising Booster Bundle Pokémon TCG: Mega Evolution—Chaos Rising Booster Bundle $44.88 at AmazonSee It at Amazon
Mashable-reading TCG fans decided to skip the brawl over the Pokémon card restock at their local Target, scooping popular packs from Amazon instead. The Chaos Rising Booster Bundle dropped as low as $45.27 during Prime Day, fluctuating near the $50 mark throughout the sale. Amazon's price is slightly more expensive than market value, but a few dollars doesn't matter a whole lot when a Mega Greninja ex could be involved.
Apple AirPods Pro 3 AirPods Pro 3 $179 at Amazon$249 Save $70 Get Deal at Amazon
There were two popular pairs of Apple headphones among Mashable readers this Prime Day: The AirPods Pro 3 on sale for $179.99 and the AirPods Max 2 on sale for $399.99. Both were record-low prices, and the AirPods Max 2 have since sold out in every color. As of June 26, you can still grab the AirPods Pro 3 at their Prime Day price — they're $40 cheaper than they were for Black Friday.
