Startups love the UK. Its IPO market? Not so much

U.S. Treasury yields held steady on Thursday as President Donald Trump’s trade war intensified, with Brazil being hit with fresh levies and new tariffs on copper imports being announced.At 6 a.m. ET, the 10-year Treasury yield was little changed at 4.35%, and the 30-year yield was around 1 basis point higher at 4.882%. The 2-year yield was down less than a basis point at 3.853%.One basis point is equal to 0.01%. Yields and prices have an inverse relationship.Trump slapped 50% tariffs on Brazil in an announcement late Wednesday, which is set to go into effect from Aug. 1. It’s partly in retaliation against the ongoing prosecution of the country’s former president, Jair Bolsonaro.The levies are a jump from the 10% reciprocal tariffs imposed on Brazil in early April, with Trump saying it’s also a response to the “very unfair trade relationship” between the two companies.Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said Wednesday that the country will respond with reciprocity to the new tariffs rates, citing a Brazilian law which allows the government to take appropriate countermeasures.Additionally, Trump said 50% tariffs on copper will start from Aug. 1, a decision made after the president received a national security assessment.On the data front, investors will await weekly initial jobless claims for the week ending July 5, which will be released on Thursday morning.

Older Adults Outnumber Children In More US States, Median Age Hits New High

Older Adults Outnumber Children In More US States, Median Age Hits New High

Older Adults Outnumber Children In More US States, Median Age Hits New High Authored by Mary Prenon via The Epoch Times,A new report from the Census Bureau indicates older adults now outnumber children in 11 states and almost half of the counties in the United States.The census data shows that the U.S. population continues to age, with the share of the 65-year-plus group steadily increasing from 12.4 percent in 2004 to 18 percent in 2024, while the share of the under-18 population has decreased from 25 percent to 21.5 percent during the same period.In 2024, the population aged 65 and older increased by 3.1 percent, to 61.2 million, from 2023, while those under the age of 18 decreased by 0.2 percent, to 73.1 million, during the same time frame.“Children still outnumber older adults in the United States, despite a decline in births this decade,” Lauren Bowers, chief of the Census Bureau’s Population Estimates Branch, said in the report.“However, the gap is narrowing as baby boomers continue to age into their retirement years. In fact, the number of states and counties where older adults outnumber children is on the rise, especially in sparsely populated areas.”According to the report, from 2020 to 2024, the older population grew by 13 percent, significantly outpacing the 1.4 percent growth of working-age adults (18 to 64), while the number of children declined by 1.7 percent.In 2020, the Census Bureau named just three states—Maine, Vermont, and Florida—where older adults outnumbered children. In 2024, the list was expanded to include eight more states with a majority of adults aged 65 and older: Delaware, Hawaii, New Hampshire, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and West Virginia.In addition, the number of U.S. metro areas with a majority of older adults increased from 58 to 112 from 2020 to 2024.“This represents nearly 30 percent of the nation’s 387 metro areas,” the report states.In 2024, three metropolitan areas with at least 1 million people—Cleveland, Ohio; Providence–Warwick, Rhode Island–Massachusetts; and Hartford, Connecticut—recorded more older adults than younger people for the first time ever.On the county level, 31.3 percent of America’s 3,144 counties had more older adults than children in 2020. In 2024, that level rose to 45 percent.Trend Expected to ContinueGlen Hedrick, financial advisor at Old North State Wealth Management in Wilmington, North Carolina, believes the aging population trend will continue into the 2030s.“This will be a pivotal time for entitlement reform and healthcare infrastructure reform,” Hedrick told The Epoch Times.“For Social Security, the trend is in the direction of more beneficiaries and fewer contributors.”He mentioned disparities in states such as Maine and Florida, which he noted may feel even more of a strain.“As an advisor, I would recommend, based on these findings, to not depend solely on entitlements,” he said.“Build a diversified income stream, maybe even delaying Social Security as people live longer to maximize benefits.”The U.S. Census BureauThe Census Bureau also reported that the U.S. median age reached a new record high of 39.1 years in 2024, up from 38.5 in 2020. Regionally, the Northeast had the highest median age at 40.6, with Maine having the oldest median population in the nation at 44.8.The Midwest was a close second with a 39.3 median age, while the West and South held the lowest median ages at 38.4 and 38.8, respectively.Birth Rates Declining Since 1990According to a recent Statista report, the U.S. birth rate has been declining steadily since 1990. In 2023, there were 10.7 births per 1,000 of the population, compared with 16.7 births per 1,000 in 1990.The research also shows that the fertility rate among women of childbearing age dropped to 1.62 in 2023, the lowest rate ever recorded.“The reasons behind the declining birth and fertility rates in the U.S. are complex but include personal factors such as changing priorities among women and the high cost of living, including student loan debt, housing costs, and the cost of child care,” the report states.Aaron Cirksena, founder and CEO of MDRN Capital based in Annapolis, Maryland, told The Epoch Times that the rising age population is a concern for the entire nation.“The country as a whole is getting older, while the younger population is decreasing. That’s going to put an extra strain not only on Social Security, but Medicare, and filling jobs for the future,” he said.Cirksena noted that as this imbalance grows, there will be a lot less people in the workforce paying taxes.“There’s only so many ways you can get tax revenues out of retirees on a fixed income, so this shrinking base of taxpayers means there are less people supporting the older population,” he said.In the long term, he noted, the United States could experience slower economic growth.“There could be a problem filling vacant jobs and then there’s the question of what will happen when the next generation begins to retire,” he said.In 2024, the Internal Revenue Service allowed a tax credit of $2,000 per child under age 17 for individuals earning less than $200,000 or $400,000 per couple. This year, the amount is expected to increase to $2,500 per child.“Still, changing the country’s demographics is not something you can easily turn around in just a couple of years,” Cirksena noted.He believes the full retirement age will be extended from the current 67 in the near future.“People are living longer and in order to keep the system going, they’ll probably have to work longer as well,” Cirksena said.

Nvidia Sometimes Feels Like America's Only Bargaining Chip In Trade Standoff With China, Says Jim Cramer: 'Own It, Don't Trade It'

On Wednesday, Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) briefly became the world's most valuable company. Following this, Jim Cramer hailed the AI chipmaker as a national strategic asset and a powerful tool in America's trade tensions with China.What Happened: Nvidia crossed a $4 trillion market cap during trading before closing at $3.97 trillion. The surge reaffirmed its place atop the global market, surpassing Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)."The fact is, neither Microsoft nor Apple can claim that they're currently creating a new industrial revolution, like Nvidia can," said Cramer, reported CNBC."In fairness, they did create the last industrial revolution, the rise of the personal computer, although that was a long time ago," he added.See Also: Mark Zuckerberg Once Set Up A Facebook Account For Brooklyn Nine-Nine Star Andy Samberg, Then Personally Played Tech Support When Things Went A Bit HaywireReflecting on Nvidia's geopolitical significance, Cramer noted that Nvidia sometimes seems to be the U.S.’s "only bargaining ...Full story available on Benzinga.com

Warning to ServiceNow admins: Fix your access control lists now

Warning to ServiceNow admins: Fix your access control lists now

A vulnerability in the way ServiceNow manages user access control lists can easily allow a threat actor to steal sensitive data, says a security vendor, who urges admins to review their custom and standard data configuration tables to beef up security..Researchers at Varonis told ServiceNow about the hole over a year ago, allowing it to quietly patch its platform as well as issue a security update to customers in May. But after ServiceNow this week issued a Common Weakness Enumeration (CVE-2025-3648) describing the problem, Varonis published details.Hopefully by now admins have taken advantage of the patch, with its new security capabilities.“The update from ServiceNow addressed a vulnerability that could have allowed low privileged users to access restricted data,” IDC President Crawford Del Prete told CIO.com. “These kinds of situations are always potentially serious, given the kind of data that ServiceNow handles.“In terms of remediation, admins need to make sure Access Control lists (ACLs) are configured properly and well managed,” he said in an email. “In a credit to ServiceNow, the company changed its default posture with recent patches to a ‘default deny’ posture, making sure that access to non-privileged users is not inadvertently granted.“ServiceNow environments (like many) are highly dynamic, with users and rights changing often. Keeping a focus on making sure changes are properly managed is critical,” he added.‘Act ASAP’Charles Betz, a principal analyst for enterprise architecture at Forrester Research, called it “a pretty serious vulnerability.”“People need to do this [follow ServiceNow’s advice] ASAP,” he said in an interview. “There is risk [that threat actors] are going to go after their data with the CVE being published.”“If you’re running a big production system like ServiceNow and not paying attention to security issues, you’re not doing your job,” he added. “You’ve had two months [since the security update was released] and now it’s gone public ... Other things need to slip back in the queue.”In an email, Yogev Madar, Varonis’ security research group manager, said that ServiceNow admins need to review the ACLs in their environment and take advantage of new access mechanisms to make sure the vulnerability can’t be abused.That includes making sure the ACLs aren’t solely dependent on data or script conditions that could lead to abuse, using the new ACL mechanism called ‘Deny else’ that provides better access control, and using the new Query ACL rule to limit the operators that can be used in queries and limit enumeration attempts.Even authenticated users can exploit the bugThe access control vulnerability allows unauthenticated, and even authenticated users, under certain conditions to use query requests to access data they aren’t supposed to get. To blunt this threat, ServiceNow has introduced additional access control list frameworks in the Xanadu and Yokohama versions of the platform.“This vulnerability was relatively simple to exploit, and required only minimal table access, such as a weak user account within the instance or even a self-registered anonymous user, which could bypass the need for privilege elevation and resulted in sensitive data exposure,” said Varonis in its blog. It isn’t aware of any cases where this vulnerability was exploited before ServiceNow issued the patch in May. Varonis warned ServiceNow about the hole, dubbed Count(er) Strike, in February, 2024.Platform can hold huge amount of sensitive dataA cloud-based platform, ServiceNow offers a wide range of capabilities including IT service management, IT operations management, customer service management, human resources service delivery, governance, risk, and compliance, healthcare and life sciences service management and more, meaning it can store a wide-range of sensitive personal data.According to Varonis, ServiceNow organizes virtually all information into tables, including elements like incidents and requests, instance properties and configurations, user data, application credentials, and much more. Each of these items is stored as a record within its respective table.The platform creates connections between tables using reference fields, which allow information to be shared across different tables. For example, a reference field in the Incidents table might link to a specific user record in the Users table, allowing that related data to be viewed across multiple tables. Access to these tables is managed mainly through Access Control List (ACL) rules. which determine what data users can access and how they can interact with it. A ServiceNow instance can contain tens of thousands of ACL rules, Varonis says.The key components of an ACL rule in ServiceNow are the resources the admin wants to protect (such as a table, field, or record), the operation, which specifies the type of access being controlled (such as read, write, create, or delete), and the conditions that must be met for the rule to apply.Four conditions for accessFour conditions in each ACL determine whether a user meets the requirements to access a specific resource:Required roles: This condition specifies the roles required to access a particular resource. If a user has one of the roles listed in the ACL, they are granted access;Security attribute condition, which uses security attributes to determine access;Data condition: This condition evaluates specific criteria related to the data itself. For instance, you might set a condition that limits access to only records with a certain status or within a specific date range.Script condition: This condition allows for the execution of custom logic. Admins can write scripts to implement complex security rules beyond simple role or data conditions. A script can be written to grant access only when a certain configuration in the instance is set, or only when a user is authenticated.These four ACL conditions for access are evaluated by ServiceNow in that order.Varonis discovered that ServiceNow denies access depending on which ACL conditions are unmet. If access to a resource is blocked due to either of the first two conditions — the “Required Roles” or “Security Attribute Condition” — access is denied.However, if access is denied due to failing the “Data Condition” or “Script Condition,” the user is presented with a page that shows the total count of records returned by the query, even if no records are visible. A threat actor can then use the application’s query parameters to infer detailed data through enumeration. Even worse, a threat actor could automate this process by writing a simple script for enumeration, Varonis said, allowing them to retrieve full record data from the table. They can then begin to retrieve the results from the HTML source. “No special configurations or plug-ins are needed,” noted Varonis, “just a user account in the ServiceNow instance with partial table or column access.”New ACL rules can be createdIf enabled, ServiceNow’s self-registration feature allows new users to create accounts and access an instance without prior administrator approval, Varonis added. While this simplifies onboarding for external users for basic access, it could also allow a threat actor to get that same access.“Though it is rare for instances to allow anonymous registration and access, this configuration was found in the ServiceNow systems of several Fortune 500 companies,” Varonis noted.Tables susceptible to the attack are those with ACLs with empty or overly broad “Requires Roles” and “Security Attribute Condition” sections. “This means any table protected only by data or script condition is fully exposed to the attack,” said Varonis.To address the vulnerability, ServiceNow created several new ACL rules that admins can implement. One is called Query ACL, which adds restrictions on the queries a user can execute on a table to retrieve records. New security data filters can also restrict access to records based on role or security attributes related to assertions.ServiceNow offers guidance for managing access control lists, as well as advice for admins and developers.“This vulnerability in ServiceNow is a powerful reminder that even well-established platforms can have dangerous blind spots when it comes to access control,” Gal Nakash, chief product office at Reco, a provider of SaaS security solutions, said in an email.“What makes this flaw especially concerning is the ease of exploitation. It doesn’t require privilege escalation or deep technical expertise, just misconfigured ACLs and clever use of query filters. That’s a low bar for potentially high-impact data exfiltration,” he wrote.“For organizations, especially those in regulated sectors like healthcare, finance, or government, this is a wake-up call. Access Control Lists (ACLs) must be configured with a ‘least privilege’ mindset, roles and security attributes should never be left empty or overly broad. ServiceNow’s new Query ACLs and security data filters offer powerful protections, but they only work if admins actively use and test them. But configuration alone isn’t enough. Admins should continuously monitor for anomalies like unusual query patterns or access by low-privilege users and audit permission changes across tables and roles.”

The best Amazon Prime Day deals offer discounts on headphones, TVs, robot vacuums and more

Amazon Prime Day is finally here, so now’s the time for members to stock up on discounted home essentials, clothing, shoes, and of course, tech. It’s safe to say that Amazon’s website will be overwhelming for the entirety of the event, so we wouldn’t blame you if you got distracted immediately upon opening it. If you’ve got gadgets on your wishlist, Engadget has you covered. We’re surfacing the best Prime Day deals for day two on gadgets and gear we can find for the whole of the shopping event. As in years past, Prime Day has brought solid discounts on some of our favorite tech including earbuds, tablets, robot vacuums and home devices. These are the best Prime Day deals you can get right now. We’ll be updating this post regularly throughout the duration of Prime Day, so check back to see the latest discounts. Prime Day deals: Engadget's top picks Apple AirPods Pro 2 for $149 (40 percent off): The AirPods Pro 2 remain Apple’s best set of wireless earbuds, as they offer the full set of Apple-focused features, strong ANC, onboard volume controls, a comfy in-ear design and a warm sound profile that most should find agreeable. They can even work as a hearing aid now. DJI Neo drone for $159 (20 percent off): The DJI Neo may be an inexpensive, beginner-friendly drone, but has powerful features like subject tracking and quick shots. It can shoot video at up to 4K 30 fps and is quick and maneuverable, though it's also fairly loud. You can also grab one with three batteries and a charger for $229 (21 percent off). Leebein Electric Spin Scrubber for $38 (46 percent off): This was my favorite thing I bought last year because it makes the must-detested chore of cleaning my shower less of a pain. It's an electric spin scrubber that comes with multiple cleaning heads so you can use it on your countertops, sinks, tubs and showers and more. It also has an adjustable arm so you can reach tough spots in hard-to-reach places, and it convenient recharges via USB-C. Samsung SmartTag 2 for $15.50 (48 percent off): Samsung users looking to keep track of their stuff need look no further than the SmartTag 2. One of our top picks for the best Bluetooth trackers, this accessory easily attaches to keys, bags and other items and uses Samsung's large finding network to show you their last known location. iRobot Roomba Vacuum and Mop Combo for $140 (49 percent off): A version of one of our top favorite robot vacuums, this budget-friendly machine comes with a water reservoir that allows it to mop hard floors. It connects via Wi-Fi to the iRobot app as well, which lets you set cleaning schedules and further control the machine. Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle for $500: We'd be remiss if we didn't mention the fact that Amazon has the Nintendo Switch 2 available to order "by invitation" now. The Mario Kart World bundle is listed at the standard $500 price, so it's not a Prime Day deal per se, but considering Amazon was (supposedly) shut out of the initial Switch 2 order process earlier this year, it's notable to see the console listed on the site at all. Prime Day deals under $50 Soundcore Select 4 for $19 (46 percent off): This 9.3-ounce speaker is a massive improvement over built-in smartphone audio. It can fill a room at a decent range of frequencies, and works well in room-sized outdoor spaces — plus, with IP67 waterproofing, it can survive a dip in the pool. It's currently almost half off. Anker iPhone Nano Power Bank with Built-in USB-C Connector for $20 ($10 off): One of these little guys could represent the difference between a dead phone and a not-dead phone. It’s the size of an oldey-timey lipstick case and delivers a partial charge to any USB-C phone. We tested it out and awarded it a spot in our guide to power banks. Jisulife Life7 handheld fan for $23 (21 percent off): Jisulife makes handheld fans we've recommended in past gift guides and this is one of its newer models. It can be held, folded so it sits flat on a table or worn around your neck for a cool breeze wherever you're going. It has an easy-to-read display in its center that will show you the fan speed level or current battery life, and its 5,000 mAh battery can last up to 19.5 hours on a single charge when you're running the fan on its lowest setting. Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max for $35 ($25 off): This stick handles Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, 4K video and HDR10+ and supports Wi-Fi 6E. It has the fastest processor of any Fire TV Stick and Engadget’s Jeff Dunn has gotten a lot of use from the stick as a retro gaming emulator. Of course, Amazon’s user interface is less elegant (and less democratic) than others. And it highly prioritizes Prime Video content. Amazon Echo Spot for $45 (44 percent off): Amazon revived the Spot smart alarm clock last year, which features a half-circle shaped display that shows the time, weather and other information like song titles when you're using the speaker to play music. It has a compact design that will make it easy to fit on a desk or a nightstand, and as with any Alexa smart speaker, you can use it to control IoT devices like smart lights, locks and more. Prime Day Apple deals Apple iPad (A16) for $280 (20 percent off): The latest base model iPad comes with a faster A16 chip, 2GB more RAM and 128GB of storage as standard. It earned a score of 84 in our review — if you only need an iPad for roaming the internet, watching shows and doing some lighter productivity tasks, it's a good starter tablet. Apple iPad Air (11-inch, M3) for $479 ($120 off): In our opinion, the iPad Air is the best iPad for most people as it strikes an ideal balance between performance, price and features. The M3 chip is almost overkill for a tablet, but it means performance should never be an issue. And upcoming productivity gains from iPadOS 26 should make the tablet even more powerful. Apple Watch Series 10 for $280 ($120 off): We consider Apple’s flagship wearable to be the best smartwatch you can buy, period. It's a mostly iterative update, with faster charging, a slightly slimmer design and a marginally larger display than the prior Series 9. That said, it's still a comprehensive fitness tracker, and no other smartwatch can integrate as neatly with iPhones and other Apple devices. Prime Day audio deals Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones for $298 (25 percent off): While the XM6 headphones are the latest and greatest, they only make small changes to the already stellar XM5. These were our top pick for the best wireless headphones for a long time before the XM6 launched earlier this year, and we still like them for their excellent sound quality, strong ANC, multi-device connectivity and good battery life. Sony WH-CH720N headphones for $78 (48 percent off): The cheapest Sony headphones we'd recommend that are no slouch. They're lightweight and comfy with respectable sound for the price. You also get Adaptive Sound Control, 360 Reality Audio and multipoint Bluetooth on this budget model. Sonos Beam Gen 2 for $369 (26 percent off): The second-gen Beam soundbar has support for Dolby Atmos and it has a relatively streamlined design that should be easy to fit into most home entertainment setups. Beats Pill for $98 (35 percent off): The Beats Pill is one of the few portable bluetooth speakers we liked enough to give it a full review. Those of you who love the classic Beats bluetooth speakers will be happy to know they're back in fine form. Nobody can beat the Pill for bass, and its sound is crisp and lossless at almost any frequency and volume. For some reason, only the Kim Kardashian branded version is on sale, but it's the exact same speaker. Prime Day laptop deals Microsoft Surface Laptop (13.8-inch, Snapdragon X Plus) for $880 (27 percent off): In addition to running on a Snapdragon X Plus processor, this 2024 Surface Laptop has 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. It's a Copilot+ PC that also has a 13.8-inch touchscreen, and it should last up to 20 hours on a single charge. Google Pixelbook Go (13-inch, Intel Core M3) for $299 (54 percent off): The Pixelbook Go is a bit old at this point, but if you're a Chrome OS lover and want a Google-made laptop, this is a solid option. It includes an Intel Core M3 processor, 8GB of RAM, 64GB of storage and a 12-hour battery life. Prime Day tech deals Instant Pot Duo Plus 9-in-1 multicooker for $70 (50 percent off): This six-quart pressure cooker and multicooker is a versatile kitchen tool for anyone who (somehow) didn't buy into the Instant Pot craze a few years back. It can do a lot with its nine cooking modes, including pressure cook, slow cook, steam, rice cook, saute and more, and the six-quart size is great for families and meal-preppers. Ring Doorbell Battery + Indoor Cam 2 for $70 (50 percent off): If you're looking to build out a security system in your home, this bundle is a good place to start, giving you a video doorbell and an indoor security camera. You'll be able to see both live feeds in the Ring app, and they can send you motion alerts and let you speak to people on the other end of the camera when you're not at home. Kindle for $85 ($25 off): Our favorite budget option in our guide to the best ereaders, the latest base Kindle has 16GB of storage — more than enough to hold hundreds of books at a time. It has a compact and durable design that’s easy to take anywhere, and the latest model is faster than before with speedy page turns and a more seamless navigation between books, your library and other parts of the UI. Ninja Dual-Zone air fryer (10 quart) for $180 ($70 off): This model is one of our favorite air fryers thanks to its dual-zone cooking system, which allows you to prepare two separate foods at different temperatures and settings. There's even a Match Cook feature that ensures both foods will be done at the same time, regardless of their cooking settings. Levoit Core 400S air purifier for $183 ($37 off): Our top pick for the best air purifier, Levoit's Core 400S reliably improved air quality in our testing, plus it has easy to use onboard controls and replaceable filters that are not too expensive. We also found it to not be offensively loud, even on its highest setting. TP-Link Deco XE75 Wi-Fi 6E mesh system for $200 (20 percent off): Our top pick for the best mesh Wi-Fi system, this Deco XE75 three-pack is easy to set up and provides excellent performance with no-frills. The Deco mobile app lets you check speeds for each node, and you can see all of the devices on your network at any time. Kindle Scribe for $260 ($140 off): The Scribe is one of the best E-Ink tablets you can buy at the moment, and certainly the top pick if you want a writable table that also excels as an ereader. It provides a great reading and writing experience, thanks in part to its ability to access the entire Kindle ebook library, and it has handy Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive and Dropbox integration. Dyson V15 Detect Plus for $570 ($180 off): You can't get much better than a Dyson if you're on the market for a cordless stick vacuum, and the V15 Detect delivers. It's our current top pick for the best cordless vacuum overall thanks to its excellent suction power, lightweight design, good battery life and the included Fluffy Optic cleaning head that uses a laser to show you where all the debris is while you're using it. Amazon 55-inch Omni mini-LED Fire smart TV for $700 ($120 off): A top-of-the-line model in the Fire TV family, this set has a 4K QLED mini-LED display with 1,400 nits of peak brightness and "intelligence picture" technology that adapts the screen to your room's lighting conditions. It also has a 144Hz refresh rate and support for AMD FreeSync. Samsung 55-inch The Frame QLED 4K smart TV for $798 (47 percent off): This is the set that spurred all of the art TV copycats, and it's been a favorite of our staff for a long time. Samsung's set looks like a piece of art hanging on your wall when you're not watching TV, and you can cycle through thousands of images to show on the TV so you'll always have something new to display. Hisense S7N CanvasTV (65-inch) for $898 (31 percent off): Hisense's spin on Samsung's Frame sets, the CanvasTV, comes in much cheaper and with a boatload of features. The S7N sports an anti-glare display and art mode, as you'd expect, but there's also 144Hz support for a bit of gaming. It also comes with a slim wall mount so you can hang it on your wall like a genuine work of art. (The 55-inch model is also a great deal at $689, and the 77-inch is down to $1,399.) What is Prime Day? Prime Day is Amazon's members-only shopping event, which means you’ll have to be a Prime subscriber on Prime Day to take advantage of most of the savings. Amazon still offers a 30-day free trial to new Prime subscribers, so you can start your free trial closer to July and participate in the event. When is Prime Day 2025? Amazon Prime Day 2025 will be back this year on July 8 through July 11. How often is Prime Day? Amazon Prime Day typically comes around annually in July. In the last few years, Amazon has also had its "Big Deal Days" in October, which is effectively a second Prime Day and the unofficial kickoff to the holiday shopping season. How does Prime Day work? Prime subscribers can go to Amazon's site on Prime Day to see all of the exclusive deals they have access to. Prime subscribers do not have to do anything additional to get Prime Day sales: the discounts you see on product pages will show up in your cart automatically. If you're not a Prime subscriber and you go to Amazon to shop on Prime Day, you'll likely see tons of items on sale but only "with Prime;" those discounts will not be available to those who are not active Prime subscribers. Is Prime Day only for Prime members? Technically yes, but even if you do not pay for a Prime membership, you should still check out Amazon on Prime Day. While most Prime Day deals will be exclusively available to subscribers, there are always a handful of sales available to all shoppers. Amazon distinguishes between them very clearly: you'll see "Prime exclusive" on product pages near the deal pricing on the discounts that are only available to paying members. Separately, it’s very likely that other retailers like Walmart, Target and Best Buy will have their own competing Prime Day sales during that time frame, too. So if you're not keen on shopping at Amazon at all, it's worth checking out other retailers during the week of Prime Day to see if they are matching Prime Day deal prices.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/deals/the-best-amazon-prime-day-deals-offer-discounts-on-headphones-tvs-robot-vacuums-and-more-120028355.html?src=rss
