Amazon’s mountain of Prime Day deals and discounts is finally live, and we’re already on it. As is tradition, if you’ve got gadgets on your wishlist, Engadget has you covered. The team is surfacing the best Prime Day deals on gadgets and gear we can find across the entire shopping event.
There are the usual suspects of wireless earbuds, trackers and all things Kindle, but we’re digging deeper, finding strong discounts on our past recommendations, like Dyson vacuums, Mesh Wi-Fi systems and more.
I’m intrigued by this $25 handheld electric fan, which we’ve recommended several times. Especially now, as I sit here in the middle of a heatwave with no air conditioning, I’m an interested shopper. Also: Sony’s latest and greatest over-ear headphones are $115 off, which is a substantial discount.
The deals run from today through July 11, after which we put our deals team in the deep freeze, so they can recover in time for Black Friday.

The news you might have missed
Apple is still trying to overturn the Apple Watch blood oxygen sensor ban
The company approached the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
Apple is appealing a trade ban that led to the removal of the blood oxygen sensor from its smartwatches. In 2024, the International Trade Commission (ITC) prohibited the sale of Apple Watches, citing patent infringement by Masimo, a health technology company. Ironically, Masimo’s smartwatches also infringed Apple’s patents.
The US appeals court heard new arguments from both companies regarding the ITC ban on Monday.
A Tesla robotaxi drove into a parked car
There were no injuries or damage from the accident.
One of Tesla’s fully autonomous robotaxis grazed a parked car after completing a ride recently in Austin, Texas. In a video recorded by YouTuber DirtyTesla, a self-driving Model Y turns and accelerates into a Toyota, making light contact with its tire. The Model Y had already dropped off its passenger but struggled to navigate out of the dark alleyway afterward. There was no serious damage to the cars and the robotaxi’s safety monitor eventually swapped to the driver’s seat and drove off.
Jack Dorsey’s latest pet project is a Bluetooth messaging app
No internet connection needed.
Jack Dorsey is working on a decentralized, peer-to-peer messaging app that functions entirely over Bluetooth. It’s called Bitchat (Bitchat!) and doesn’t require an internet connection to work. The Twitter co-founder calls it an experiment in “Bluetooth mesh networks, relays and store and forward models, message encryption models and a few other things.” It’s encrypted communication between nearby gadgets, where each device widens the network a little further. That’s Bitchat. Not bitchchat.
