Audity credits her success to her muse and keeping things fun

Sat, 06/27/2026 - 21:07

Audrey Hopkins (aka Audity or AudityDraws) has grown a fan following by chasing her love of character design and not taking her art too seriously.

Her 13.2 million followers on TikTok revel over her imaginative mash-ups, like re-imagining Disney villains as Disney princesses or turning Bluey characters into human incarnations. But her greatest muse has been her husband, Richard Conley. She's drawn him as a merman, Sailor Moon, Handsome Squidward, and many more creative characters. All to the delight of her audience and Conley himself, who collaborated with her on an inspiration app, called Wanna Draw, which generates mash-up ideas for artists of all sorts.

As someone who has enjoyed Audity's art, mischievous sense of fun, and high-energy online persona, I was elated to sit down with her at VidCon 2026 to discuss her journey from character designer to a thriving content creator.

Audity next to her illustrated self portrait. Credit: Zooey Liao/Mashable/Audity/Google Images How did being a content creator start for you? Because you are an animator, you are a character designer. What made you be like, "I'm gonna take this independently online"?

So it's a weird story. Back in the day, when TikTok was first starting, they had these agencies that would go out, and they would find people to post more. 

They would do a thing where they would pay you like 100 bucks a month to post every single day. Most people that were doing the program were just putting out kind of whatever. At the time, I was in between character design jobs. Before that, I had worked on different stuff, or like NBC, or things like that. I basically felt bad that my husband was the only one bringing in money. And I was like, "You know what, 100 bucks a month, that's a bit of groceries — that's something." So I started the program, but I took it more seriously. I was like, I'm actually gonna post my work and do like more fun stuff...  

And also build your portfolio. 

Yeah, exactly, exactly. And I never expected — it was like four months later, I'd hit a million followers. And I remember I got a call from somebody that was like, "Hey," — I'd done a comic book a while back, and they were like, — "We would love you to do a second one." I had to sit there and make a decision, like, "Do I go back to an actual job-job, or do I try to do this?" 

I never thought I could do this. And seven years later, I'm still doing it. 

And your husband's very involved too. How did he come into it?

Basically, my husband and I are constantly around each other because he works from home. Back when I first started filming, I remember he would say stuff sometimes, and I'd be like, "Oh no, don't talk, I'm filming something." 

After a while, I was just like I'm not gonna keep telling him to stop, and I started just turning the camera [to him], whenever he would say something weird, which is often. And he's just been so supportive. When I started doing more art stuff in college, before even looking at TikTok, I was working at Pier One at the same time. And I remember I was so stressed out. He was like, "You know what, quit [Pier One]. I got this, I got us."  And he's taken so much care of me and allowed me to do so much stuff. 

How has imagining him in all these illustrated incarnations impacted how you view him, and how he views himself? 

Actually, when we first started dating, he was like, "I always wondered if you draw me." And I'm like, "Oh, how you regret thinking that now!" But honestly, he's, I mean, is it weird to call him my muse? He really is!

Looking back, what was the first video that really took off that made you think, maybe I can do this full-time?

It might have been when I was doing my 50 states series, or my first time doing one of the fusion videos. Because my whole thing with art is I really firmly believe that art doesn't have to be taken so seriously. 

When I was in college, I started out as a studio painter and a traditional artist. So like, your girl can do still lifes. But everyone else would be like, "My work represents the darkness of society and stuff." And I'd be like, "I drew this really, really hot lady — she's super cool!" 

I kind of leaned into that with that kind of stuff. And with the fusion thing, I liked being able to just take like weird stuff and make this weird creature that was really cool, but didn't serve like a purpose. 

So I think I think those types of videos, and that first one was like the first time it was like, "Whoa, okay." And I think that's why actually, [my husband] ended up building the [Wanna Draw] app that we have, which was so sweet. He literally never had done anything like that in his life before, and just went in like three months sitting at our kitchen table, learning and building that app. Yeah, he's still the only one that runs it.

That's very cool.  So, what do you love about content creation?

Honestly, I think it's the fact that so many people who do art, like you make something cool, and you get to show it to, like, a few people, like your friends, or things like that, and then that's it. 

I get to be like, "Hey, world, look at this weird thing I made!" And, it's so amazing to see so many other people out there who also like that. I think that's my favorite part,  just getting to connect to so many different people and seeing how many different people are alike. 

We all get so trapped in our little bubbles, and it's also great to have like close-knit community. But it's also just so wonderful to have like this wide network of people that are also just so similar, right?

It's also interesting because when people think about big animated shows, they know the people who created the show. But they don't necessarily know all the nuts and bolts people and all the creativity they're bringing to it. So it must be exciting to be able to be like, "I don't need someone else's project to be seen."

I will say there are times when I miss working on things with other people. There's another content creator, a friend of mine, he runs D&D campaigns and everything. His name is Sir Feffers, and I become like his primary character design stuff. So it is nice, I get a little taste of being able to still work like for somebody else.

Is there a big fish dream project that would make you step away for this from content creation for a little bit? 

God, there are so many. It's too many. I really want to do character design work for a video game or something. Honestly, my real dream is to — do you know Dropout?

SEE ALSO: Dropout is a game-changer for comedy and creators Yes! I've interviewed a lot of that team!

They're so cool. I love them so much, but Dimension 20, particularly. I want to draw the characters for a season of theirs. 

Honestly, I've told them before, I'll do it for free. I'll do all the work for free, just let me do it. That's really the big thing. But at the same time, there are so many people who want to work for them, so I get it…Getting to meet Brennan Lee Mulligan for like a moment once was just like — 

He's so lovely. 

Oh my god, he's one of the coolest people. 

Agreed. Where do you find the differences in working in more traditional spaces and working for the internet? 

I think working for the internet is just — it's so chaotic. Because no Disney studio or anything out there is gonna be like, "You know, we really love it if you mix like Pennywise with Tinkerbell." But the internet's like, "We really want more of that, give us that." 

It's like having the most chaotic boss in the world. Because the weirder I get, the happier they are. That's I think the biggest difference is like that, and being able to just freely do what you want. 

I love that. So, a lot of people here at VidCon have been giving tips on what to do when you run out of ideas. What do you do when you hit, a creativity drought? When you're like, "I want to draw, but I don't know where to start."

For dealing with art block and burnout, I usually have like exercises that I do, like drawing the random shapes into faces, stuff that I like. I actually, eventually want to release a book that I make that's called Dealing with Art Block When You're a Character Designer. Because there's so much stuff that I've accumulated throughout the years that I do; tips and tricks. In my videos I can show a little bit of it, but I love to go more in depth. 

But stuff like that, like just finding a new way to do something you're already doing, is like the best way to get past something like that. Because if you're doing the same thing constantly, constantly, constantly, it's gonna get stale, it's gonna get like you're not gonna want to do it, you're like, "I can't keep thinking of ideas for this." If you challenge yourself, you're like, "I'm gonna draw with my left hand or I'm only allowed to draw mice today," or something weird like that. You're gonna make more fun, interesting things, because sometimes having that barrier helps, you know? 

It gives you a starting point to launch from.   

Yeah, exactly. 

Was there a point where you feel that you like made it as a content creator?

I'm still waiting for that point. I literally been talking to the other animators this entire VidCon, and it's funny. They'll all talk about, 'Yeah, back in the old days, like a few years ago." And I'm still feel like I'm new to this. I still feel like I'm making my way. 

What advice would you give to following you starting out in content creation? 

There's no one way to do it. Everybody's gonna have different advice and everything, but my whole thing is make stuff and do stuff that you like. Because you're just as much a viewer as everyone else out there. And if you like something and you enjoy something, I guarantee there are other people out there that like it as well, and enjoy it as well. And also just finding a fun way to do stuff.

Let's say you're somebody who really likes gaming, but you're like, "I wish there was somebody who did it like this." You'll be the person that does it like that. Go do it! Just try it!

Uber announces stronger background checks for drivers

Sat, 06/27/2026 - 19:51

Pressured by recent lawsuits claiming Uber didn't do enough to prevent sexual assault, the ride-sharing company has announced stricter background check requirements for drivers.

"After listening to a wide range of feedback, we’ve broadened the criteria for convictions that permanently disqualify someone from driving or delivering with Uber," the company wrote in a recent blog post. "Our goal is to build the safest platform."

SEE ALSO: Meta is pushing for social media exclusions in new child safety regulation

The new review process expands on existing driver requirements, permanently banning drivers with convictions that "may be sexual in nature." The new rules also disqualify drivers with misdemeanor or felony stalking and strangulation-related offenses because they "can be predictors of future violence," Uber explains. The company says the changes were influenced by recommendations from domestic violence prevention experts and civil rights groups.

In addition, background checks will be run for the driver's entire lifetime (technically 99 years). Previously, Uber's third-party background checks providers only ran Social Security Number (SSN) traces for the previous seven years.

The company stated the new requirements will not retroactively apply to existing driver accounts "with no serious interpersonal safety-related complaints of any kind," and if their conviction is "more than 15 years old and was not sexual in nature." The checks are still rolling out to drivers nationwide.

Multiple New York Times investigations have revealed an industry-wide prevalence of violent altercations with ride-share drivers, perpetrated primarily against female riders. A December exposé alleged Uber's background check protocols still approved drivers with violent felony convictions.

In February, Uber was deemed partially liable for the rape and assault of a ride-share passenger, who alleged the company failed to implement safety provisions that could have prevented the assault. The case included internal documents showing her ride was flagged as a safety concern, but the app did not notify her or authorities. Uber was ordered to pay $8.5 million instead of the requested $144 million in damages.

Meta is pushing for social media exclusions in new child safety regulation

Sat, 06/27/2026 - 18:18

California is weighing new child-safety legislation that could fine social media companies millions of dollars — and Meta is attempting to dodge the astronomical fees from hundreds of pending lawsuits, anonymous insiders told Politico.

Meta lobbyists have approached lawmakers with suggested amendments that would carve out exceptions for social media platforms before the bill goes into a hearing set for Tuesday. The amendments include a pathway to avoid fines if companies implement a series of default child-safety settings, such as tools to disable autoplay, direct messaging restrictions, and explicit content moderation.

Many social media companies have already launched said features under minor accounts. Child safety advocates argue they don't do enough to protect children.

SEE ALSO: Trump is threatening a 100% tariff on European goods. Again.

Meta's suggested changes include another safe harbor trade-off: Social media companies could avoid fines if their platforms include parental controls that let parents restrict screen time and monitor their kids' activity. Many experts argue that parental controls are equally ineffective at reducing childhood exposure to harmful content.

Without these amendments, the bill, known as AB 2, could result in fines of up to $1 million per child if a company is found liable for endangering young users through negligent product design.

In March, Meta lost a court case that ruled the platform, as well as its competitor Google, failed to fix platform design features that resulted in harm to minor mental health. Meta was separately ordered to pay $375 million by a New Mexico jury that ruled the platform was deceptively advertising its platform as safe for children.

Meta recently revamped its minor safety tools, including automatic age detection and global Teen Accounts with stricter content and communication controls.

Amid ongoing litigation, the company has denied all claims that its youth safety features are ineffective.

"Teen mental health is profoundly complex and cannot be linked to a single app. We will continue to defend ourselves vigorously as every case is different, and we remain confident in our record of protecting teens online," Meta said in a statement following the March ruling.

Apple just raised prices, but we found 11 Prime Day Apple deals that are still live

If you're shopping for some new Apple gadgets after Prime Day, you're still in luck. While some of Amazon's deals have sold out, we still have plentiful Apple deals at Walmart. And the timing couldn't be better because earlier this week, Apple raised some of its prices on account of the global RAM shortage. AirPods and Apple Watches are unaffected (for now), but all MacBooks and iPads are now at least $100 more expensive than they were before — even the budget MacBook Neo.

Some MacBooks and iPads are now sold out at Amazon (and other major retailers) following the price hikes. However, many models are still available there at steep discounts. They're not labeled as on sale anymore, but they're significantly cheaper than what the Apple Store is now charging. See: the entry-level iPad, the 11-inch M4 iPad Air, the 15-inch M5 MacBook Air, and the 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro.

That ordeal aside, I'm happy (relieved?) to say that the best Prime Day deals on Apple Watches, AirPods, and Apple accessories like AirTags are still holding pretty steady even after the sale. Keep in mind that they probably won't hang around for much longer. Procrastinate at your own risk.

Note: Products marked with a 🔥 are at their lowest-ever price.

Apple's stylish over-ear headphones were updated in April with the H2 chip, bringing better noise cancellation and support for software features like Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, and Live Translation. They dropped down to just $399 — a 27% savings and their lowest price ever (by a lot). Amazon's stock has sold out at this price, but they're still holding on at Walmart in blue and purple. This is a shockingly good deal, considering the original AirPods Max took several years to hit the same price.

The Apple Watch Series 11 dropped to a new record-low price for Prime Day, and the deal is still live. Amazon marked it down to just $279, which is 30% off its usual $399 MSRP. (It was $20 more expensive during Amazon's Big Spring Sale a couple of months ago.) Apple's latest flagship wearable supports features like hypertension notifications and Sleep Score. Compared to its predecessor, it has a more scratch-resistant display and a longer battery life. Choose from two different case and band combinations, but we're sorry to say the new space gray finish is not part of the $279 deal.

The base model with 128GB of storage is sitting at $299 at Walmart after Prime Day, which is 33% off its new MSRP of $449. (Pick up an on-sale Apple Pencil or Magic Keyboard Folio while you're at it, too.) This deal is sold out at Amazon.

If you need a new laptop that's sleek, portable, and powerful, the latest MacBook Air is sooo easy to recommend. Its thin all-aluminum design (available in four colors) features a haptic touchpad, a 12MP webcam, and a punchy Liquid Retina display. Its M5 chip makes it faster than most Windows laptops in just about any scenario. Most models are out of stock on Amazon in the wake of Apple's price increases, but the starlight 15-inch base model is still in stock at its Prime Day price of $1,149.99 the day after the sale. That's $350 off its newly higher MSRP of $1,499, and $50 away from its record-low price from Memorial Day. You can snag the same deal at Costco sans membership.

Here's our first-ever discount on the second-generation AirTag, Apple's recently updated Bluetooth tracker. It doesn't look any different from the original version that launched in 2021, but it has a louder speaker and a much wider range. Grab an $89 four-pack for the best value (normally $99) — that works out to $22.25 per AirTag. If you only need one or two, you'll pay $24 for them individually after Prime Day (typically $29). Best Buy and Walmart were matching both of those deals, FYI.

We're officially past Prime Day now. But if you know Amazon, then you know some of the best deals are still live. So, if you're in need of fresh earbuds, you're in luck.

As of June 27, the Bose Ultra Open earbuds are still on sale at Amazon for $199, a cool $100 discount from their usual price of $299. This matches the earbuds' record-low price at Amazon. Multiple Mashable reporters have tested these buds, and they've received a unanimous recommendation so far. In fact, this innovative product helped push open earbuds into the mainstream, inspiring a host of imitators. Like bone-conduction products, they also keep you in tune with your surroundings, which makes them popular with runners and athletes.

Open earbuds are a bit of a hybrid design. They're great for people who don't like the feel of something plugging their ears up but also don't like the feel of headphones. Instead, open earbuds sit on the outside of the ear, and according to Mashable's guide to the best open earbuds, the Bose Ultra Open are the best choice if you value comfort and sound.

RJ Andersen's review of the Bose Ultra Open earbuds explains that some of the highlights include excellent battery life, comfort, and sound quality that's better than expected.

If we had to recommend just one post-Prime Day headphones deal, this would be it. The popular mid-range Bose QuietComfort headphones offer impressive active noise cancellation. On top of that, they have Bose's signature comfortable fit, with a battery life and comfy design that support all-day wear. Down to an all-time low price of $179, you can pick up these cans in a variety of colors.

The Sony WF-1000XM6 earbuds are some of the best I've tried, but even at their sale price, they're a hefty investment. While the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds don't quite match up in sound quality, they still have some of the best noise cancellation available, and are the most comfortable earbuds I've ever tried. For $249 (normally $299), or roughly $17 less, they're the deal to beat this Prime Day.

Read our full review of the Sony LinkBuds Clip.

Bose was the near-undisputed champion of open earbuds with top-notch sound — that is, until the Sony LinkBuds Clip came along. In my head-to-head testing of the earbuds, I found that while the Bose Ultra Open buds can get louder (an important feature in open earbuds), the clarity and detail of the sound in the Sony buds surpassed that of the Bose. Even though their price discrepancy is only $20 this Prime Day, the sub-$200 price point on the Sony earbuds is hard to pass up.

They also have a longer battery life, delivering nine hours per charge, while the Bose earbuds deliver seven.

Twitchs CEO says passive scrolling cant beat the community of live streaming

Sat, 06/27/2026 - 16:54

If there's one thing Twitch CEO Dan Clancy wants people to know about what makes Twitch special, it's that the live streaming site is all about community.

"Social media, interestingly, has become anti-social," Clancy said during a fireside chat titled, Why Live is the Future of Connection: From Passive Scrolling to Real Connection at VidCon 2026. "It started as a technology that connected us with people, but now sitting and swiping actually leaves you a little more isolated. It doesn't make you feel connected, and that's why live is coming on strong now."

So what is it about Twitch that fosters community? According to Clancy, the platform encourages people to stay with their streamer for longer than the seconds they might spend with someone on TikTok. When a streamer takes some time off, their audience notices their absence in a way they might not with a TikTok creator. And then there's the magic of reacting to the same content with the rest of the chat in real-time.

"People often think sports are about watching the world's best athletes. It's not about that at all. It's about community, right? It's about shared identity," he said during the talk. "Twitch actually is the same thing where the affinity that you're gathering around is a streamer, but then you form these bonds horizontally, so the same thing that happens in sports is exactly what happens on Twitch."

Still, creating community can come with its challenges.

Creator discoverability on Twitch is lacking, but that might change

Clancy encouraged creators to use more than one platform, noting that Twitch content often finds its way onto other platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

"Use short form for discovery [and] use long form to build an emotional connection and to earn a living," Clancy said during his talk.

Still, smaller- to midsize streamers have long struggled with a lack of discoverability on the platform itself, as it doesn't push algorithmic recommendations nearly as aggressively as YouTube or TikTok. Clancy told Mashable that's by design.

SEE ALSO: YouTube adds more TikTok-like features to Shorts

"If I said, I'm going to solve the discovery problem, the only way I could fully solve it is by taking them off your page, putting more stuff on your page to distract them, more stuff to get them away from you. And that is exactly what our creators don't want," Clancy said.

Still, he acknowledged a desire for some kind of fix. He shared that Twitch is working on bringing short-form content to the platform in a way that makes sense, by investing in a feature called Recaps. Clancy described it as an evolution of Twitch's existing story feature, intended to show users clips from recent streams that the streamer selects after going live.

"I think the thing that will benefit our creators the most is if the creators are able to easily create short form and viewers are watching it more on Twitch," he said to Mashbale.

How generative AI fits into the Twitch ecosystem

During his talk on stage, Clancy responded to concerns about AI, saying that while Twitch has a plan in place if AI channels run more rampant, for the time being, it's limited to a handful that are clearly identifiable as AI, and in his opinion, not engaging enough to hold a viewer's attention for the same amount of time as a human creator can.

When speaking to Mashable, Clancy also pointed to the ways AI can be leveraged to improve the viewer experience, saying a large language model could improve upon the existing AutoMod feature, which automatically flags and holds potentially inappropriate messages in a streamer's chat.

The creators of Twitch are growing beyond gamers

At its core, Twitch is an entertainment platform. While traditionally that was rooted in gaming, over the years it's become more and more common for artists, musicians, actors, and even animal sanctuaries to find a home on the platform. Clancy said the shift in the user base over time has been like "night and day."

"Now, when I meet an actor, musician, almost 70 percent of the time when they hear I'm the CEO of Twitch, they go, 'Oh, yeah, I've been thinking I should do something.'"

Safety concerns ahead of the next TwitchCon

Community, however, doesn't work without safety. Last year, Twitch faced backlash after streamer Emiru was assaulted at last year's TwitchCon. Prior to the convention's start, major streamers like Hasan Piker, Valkyrae, and QTCinderella said they would not be attending the conference due to safety concerns. Ahead of this year's conference, Clancy assured that Twitch has measures in place to prevent any future incidents.

"We've updated how we do meet and greets so that they're more structured. We don't allow signups on the day of; you have to reserve a spot. So that restricts it a little bit, but it restricts us in a way to protect the creators," he told Mashable. "So I feel very confident about where we're at right now, in terms of our ability to make sure something like that doesn't happen again."

Trump is threatening a 100% tariff on European goods. Again.

Sat, 06/27/2026 - 16:31

If you're starting to get a sense of déjà vu over Trump tariff headlines, you're not alone.

For the second time this month, President Donald Trump has threatened a 100 percent tariff on European goods to pressure foreign nations to back off on digital service taxes imposed on American tech companies operating overseas.

SEE ALSO: 3 Apple products that did not increase in price

Trump posted the threat to Truth Social, writing:

“Numerous European Countries have been discussing the imminent implementation of a Digital Services Tax on American Companies. Some of these Countries are close to actually doing this. Please let this statement serve to represent that any Country that imposes such a Tax will immediately be met with a 100% TARIFF on any and all Goods sent to the United States of America. This TARIFF will supersede Trade Deals made with the Country, whether implemented, signed, or not. Additionally, the 100% TARIFF will be immediately imposed, if they proceed. Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

Earlier this month, the President specifically threatened to impose tariffs on French wine imports unless the country dropped a standing 3 percent levy on local revenue generated by tech companies like Apple and Google. Trump reportedly delivered the threat directly to outgoing French President Emmanuel Macron before the international G7 summit.

So far, only Canada has caved to Trump's ongoing digital service tariff tactic, dropping their levy last year. But the Trump administration has since lost some strength in the global arena, experts say, following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to curb Trump's power to issue reciprocal tariffs.

Claude Mythos 5 is back, but only for a select group of US institutions

Sat, 06/27/2026 - 16:21

Two weeks after the Trump administration forced Anthropic to pull its most powerful AI models, the government has partially lifted the block with some strings attached.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

The US government has allowed Anthropic to restore access to Claude Mythos 5 for more than 100 American companies and government agencies, according to Semafor, marking a significant de-escalation in a tense standoff between the Trump administration and one of the AI industry's most prominent labs.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick informed Anthropic in a letter Friday that adequate safeguards were in place to permit access for a defined list of trusted partners, Semafor reported. Lutnick also noted that Anthropic has committed to working with the government on future model protocols and releases.

The partial restoration comes roughly two weeks after the administration issued export controls ordering Anthropic to suspend all access to both Mythos 5 and Claude Fable 5 — its publicly available counterpart — for any foreign nationals, including Anthropic's own employees.

In our reporting on the pull-down, the government cited national security concerns without providing specifics. While Anthropic said it believed officials had been shown a method to jailbreak Fable 5, the company characterized the vulnerabilities as relatively minor and noted other models could surface the same issues.

Fable 5 remains offline for now. Semafor reports that people close to the talks say a path toward restoring it is taking shape, but no timeline has been confirmed.

While technically not a "deal" in the sense that you'll save money for Prime Day, this bundle is a good way to pick up both a Nintendo Switch 2 and the game of your choice out of a decent selection. You get the console itself, Joy-Con controllers, and games like Pokémon Pokopia, Mario Kart World, and Donkey Kong Bananza with the bundle, so you can get started playing right away. With a 7.9-inch LCD touch screen, three play modes, and backward compatibility with most Nintendo Switch titles, it's well worth picking up, especially given the price hike coming in September.

They dropped to this price (their lowest price ever) on the very first day of the sale and, luckily for us, they're somehow still discounted for the weekend. And if that's too pricey for you, the previous-gen Sony XM5 headphones are still on sale for only $198, a record low.

When Mashable's Tech Editor, Timothy Beck Werth, reviewed these, he gave them a 4.5/5 rating and a Mashable Choice badge. He noted that the noise cancellation is so effective that turning it on instantly puts you in a "bubble of silence."

As for the hardware, Sony upgraded these with its new QN3 processor. They now feature 12 microphones just for active noise cancellation (a big jump from the eight in the previous model!) and six mics for phone calls. You'll still get 30 hours of playtime with ANC on, but unlike the XM5s, you can finally listen to music while you charge them.

I'm Mashable's tech editor, and I love my job. I get to test the coolest new tech products before anyone else, and I literally get paid to nerd out over the latest noise-cancelling headphones, smart glasses, robots, and laptops. On a more depressing note, all year long, I've been reporting on endless price hikes, but now that Prime Day 2026 has arrived, I can finally write about price drops.

Prime Day ended on Friday, June 26, but a surprising number of the best deals are still going strong — for now. So, I'm sharing all of the best Prime Day tech deals you still can grab over the post-Prime Day weekend.

The Mashable shopping team has been providing round-the-clock coverage throughout the Amazon summer sale. Only the very best Prime Day deals — the ones I'd recommend to friends and family or shop myself — make the cut. We don't just pick random Amazon deals. We use price tracking tools to separate the great deals from the pretenders. We also check competing sales at sites like Best Buy, Dyson, and Target to make sure we're directing you to the lowest price at any given moment.

So, with all this in mind, here are my favorite Prime Day tech deals of 2026 that are still live as of Saturday, June 27. I've personally tested many of these products, and I'm also leaning on recommendations from my colleagues on the Mashable tech and shopping teams.

Record-low prices on the latest Apple Watches

The latest generation of Apple Watches offered some big upgrades, and Prime Day delivered the best-ever deal on the Apple Watch Series 11. Even better, many of those deals are still live even though the Amazon sale has officially ended.

This smartwatch has a longer battery and other key upgrades over its predecessor, and our reviewer named it a Mashable Choice product. However, if you want to go all-out on the new Apple Watch Ultra 3, this premier fitness and sleep-tracking smartwatch is also on sale at an all-time low price.

$799 Save $150   Get Deal Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is seeing a steeper discount than you might expect for a flagship smartphone that just came out three months ago. For $949.99, you can upgrade to this phenomenal suite of cameras and a processor that secured a better Geekbench 6 score than the iPhone 17 Pro Max's processor. No iPhone can compete with the S26 Ultra's Privacy Display, which shields your screen from nosy onlookers.

$1,299.99 Save $350   Get Deal Save up to 50% on Bose headphones

Bose makes the most comfortable headphones in the world, according to both our readers and product testers. On the weekend folloing Prime Day, you can still save 50% on the Bose QuietComfort noise-cancelling headphones. While the brand's flagship QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) headphones are only $70 off, you can save big on some of the brand's other audio products.

$179 Save $50   Get Deal Save $350 on the new MacBook Air

Updated on Friday, June 26 at 2:41 p.m. ET: As of this writing, Amazon's entire inventory of MacBooks is selling out, including the new M5 MacBook Air. We're leaving this laptop in this shopping guide in case more inventory becomes available, but it looks like you've missed your chance to score this deal.

I tested the M5 MacBook Air for Mashable when it was released earlier this year, and the longer I use it, the more I like it. If you've been waiting for Prime Day to buy this Apple laptop, then I have good news and bad news. The good news is the 15-inch model is still on sale at Amazon for $1,149 in select colors. The bad news is MacBooks are flying off shelves because of the impending price hike. (Thanks, RAMageddon.) This same base model M5 MacBook Air will soon be $1,499, so grab it while you can. The 13-inch option has already disappeared from Amazon (you can still grab it at Costco, no membership required).

Looking for the best Prime Day deals under $50? I've got you.

I never travel without my Anker Prime GaN USB-C wall charger, which can charge my laptop, my phone, and my earbuds at the same time. If that seems like overkill, you can also grab Anker's most adorable wall charger with a built-in display for just $25.99 $29.99 post-Prime Day.

Apple's AirPods deals weren't quite as impressive as we hoped overall (wishful thinking, I guess) this Prime Day, but we still recommend grabbing the AirPods Max 2 headphones while they're down to a record-low $399 and the AirPods Pro 3 while they're down to only $179 (just $10 shy of their record-low). Likewise, the AirPods 4 are still on sale for just $99 post-Prime Day.

$249 Save $70   Get Deal Restock on memory products

Thanks to the global memory shortage, prices on SD cards, hard drives, and memory components have doubled, tripled, and quadrupled in 2026, with no end in sight. While deals on MicroSD cards and portable SSDs used to be a staple of Amazon sales, that's less true of late. Still, you can find some good deals on memory products at Amazon.

If you need a new MicroSD Express card for your Switch 2, a Samsung card is at its lowest price in months. And if you need a regular MicroSD card, you can pick up a 1TB Samsung card for $80 off. This is the first time that particular drive has gotten a discount.

For the final day of Prime Day, Amazon dropped prices by an extra $100 on this award-winning OLED TV. Previously, I'd been recommending Samsung's S90F OLED as the top TV deal of the event, but my calculus has changed. LG's C Series OLED TVs are famous for their incredibly crisp, vivid, and bright displays, and the 65-inch model has never been priced this low.

Technically, this isn't a Prime Day tech deal, as the new Nintendo Switch 2 Choose Your Game Bundle first launched a few weeks ago. But absent a compelling offer from Nintendo, this is the best Prime Day video game deal of the moment. This bundle lets you choose between three popular titles to bundle with the console. Remember: The Switch 2 is getting a price hike later this year, so don't miss your chance to save.

Bose discounted its popular Soundlink Bluetooth speaker by as much as 34% for Prime Day, and deals are still live. I've personally tested this line of speakers, and I can vouch for them being loud, highly portable, and easy to use. Plus, they come in a wide range of colors. That doesn't affect the sound, obviously, but it's a nice touch.

We've been keeping a close eye on the Walmart summer sale, where select products from Lego, Beats, and Sony are cheaper than they are at Amazon. One of the standouts is this offer on the Sony PlayStation Dual Sense Wireless Controller, available for under $70. While it's not a huge discount, Prime Day PlayStation deals have been sorely lacking this year.

Walmart's summer sale lasts through the weekend, so you still have time to shop.

I've been recommending Samsung's famous art TVs, The Frame, for many years, and they keep getting better. For Prime Day 2026, you can get these cult-favorite, ultra-thin TVs on sale at Amazon for their lowest-ever price. And if you want to splurge on a Samsung OLED TV instead, you can still grab the brand's award-winning S90F OLED 65-inch TV for 29% off its list price.

If a premium Samsung OLED TV isn't in your budget, I feel you. It's not in mine at the moment, either. However, despite all the price hikes we've seen in 2026, prices on 55- and 65-inch TVs keep getting lower, and not just during big sales like this.

For Prime Day 2026, grab the new Amazon Ember 55-inch 4-Series Fire TV, which comes with Amazon's new art mode. You can also score an insane price on the Hisense 65-inch E6 Series QLED 4K Fire TV.

You can also grab the recently released XM6 wireless earbuds for their lowest price ever.

If you're a Prime member, you can also grab the Dyson Supersonic Nural for its best-ever price. Mashable's reviewers have raved about this hair dryer, which improves upon the famous original.

If you really want to save, then head to Amazon-associated retailer Woot, where you can score a four-pack of the original AirTags 1 for $69.99 while supplies last, which they won't.

And for Prime Day, it's at an all-time low price. Of course, I know that $800+ price tag is still out of reach, which is why we also recommend the brand's Qrevo bot, which has nearly as much suction power and a much more reasonable price tag.

Prime Day is over, but the Fitbit Charge 6 just hit a record-low price

Sat, 06/27/2026 - 15:09

SAVE UP TO $83.96: The Fitbit Charge 6 (red band) is on sale for a record-low price at Amazon of $75.99 the day after Prime Day, down from the standard price of $159.95 for a 52% discount. The black band is also on sale for a record-low of $85.45.

While it's not yet July, we're officially done with Prime Day. But like every Prime Day, Amazon has some great deals lingering around. They can be hard to find, but Mashable's shopping team is putting in extra hours this weekend to find the best leftover Prime Day deals. If you could use a budget-friendly fitness tracker, check out this deal.

As of June 27, the Fitbit Charge 6 (red band) is on sale for a record-low price at Amazon of $75.99, the day after Prime Day, down from the list price of $159.95. That's a 52% discount and cheaper than we saw yesterday. If you're not into the look of the red band, the black band is also on sale for a record-low of $85.45.

In terms of the best fitness tracker, Mashable rated the Fitbit Charge 6 as the best mid-range fitness tracker. However, with today's sale price, I'd argue it's downright affordable. While the price is low, the features aren't lacking. You get built-in GPS, a large AMOLED display, plentiful exercise modes, and compatibility with the Google Health app.

Speaking of the Google Health app, snag the Fitbit Charge 6 today, and it'll come with three months of free access to Google Premium Health. I've been using the refreshed Google Premium Health service when testing the new Fitbit Air, and I've come to love the features.

While it's on sale for a record low, upgrade to the Fitbit Charge 6. At this price, it's a no-brainer if you've been considering a fresh fitness tracker. But be warned, these post-Prime Day deals tend to disappear quickly, so shop soon.

Lego is giving away free Star Wars Bo-Katan sets at Best Buy — how to get yours today

Sat, 06/27/2026 - 14:34

TL;DR: Head to a participating Best Buy on June 27 between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. local time to build and take home a free 133-piece Lego Star Wars Bo-Katan set.

Opens in a new window Credit: Best Buy Best Buy: Free 133-Piece Lego Star Wars Bo-Katan Set   Learn More

Lego regularly runs make and take events, giving builders a rare opportunity to walk away with a custom mini-set that money literally cannot buy. We’ve covered a fair share of these freebies over the years, but this upcoming event is particularly exciting for fans of a galaxy far, far away.

On Saturday, June 27, Best Buy is hosting a Lego Star Wars in-store event where you can build and take home a Bo-Katan Lego Star Wars set for absolutely nothing, saving 100% on what would easily be a $10 to $15 collectible.

The event will run from 12-2 p.m. local time on June 27 at participating Best Buy locations (check locations here).

SEE ALSO: Early Prime Day toy deals are live: Shop Lego, Pokémon, and more at low prices

When you arrive, you’ll be handed the 133-piece character set and step-by-step instructions to assemble the legendary Mandalorian warrior. Once the build is complete, it's yours to keep. No purchase is necessary, and you don’t even need to show a Best Buy membership card to participate.

A 133-piece set is an incredibly generous offering for a free event. Usually, these store giveaways feature tiny, 50-piece micro-builds (like the N-1 Starfighter event we saw earlier this year).

It's important to note that these events are first-come, first-served. Quantities are strictly limited. If you turn up just before 2 p.m., expect to walk away empty-handed. We suggest arriving slightly before noon to secure your spot.

And no, you can't turn up with a trench coat and try to hoard five of them. It's a strict limit of one build per person.

Good luck to everyone planning to make the trek on June 27 — and may the brick-building Force be with you.
