Early Prime Day deals include $37 off our favorite air purifier
We now know that the 2025 edition of Amazon's blockbuster Prime Day sales event will start on July 8, and it's set to be bigger than ever as it will run for four days. But you don't need to wait until then for tasty deals. There will be plenty in the lead up to the event, including this one for the Levoit Core 400S air purifier. At $183, the device is $37 off. It's not quite the lowest price we've seen for this model. However, it's not too far off that mark of $176.
The Levoit Core 400S is our current pick for the best air purifier overall. Sure, it might not have the prettiest design of all the options we have tested and the companion app might have a little too much going on. But the Core 400S does its job and does it well.
This smart air purifier is slated to clean the atmosphere in spaces of up to 1,733 square feet in as little as one hour. The Core 400S has a cylindrical shape with vents at the top and a touch display that shows air quality readings. You'll be able to get a sense of the current air quality in your space at a glance with a color-changing ring that will light up in blue, green, orange or red. The 360-degree filtration system is said to be capable of capturing over 99.9 percent of pollutants as small as 0.3 microns, such as dust, pet dander and pollen.
There is an auto mode that should suffice for maintaining air quality, but the Core 400S is compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant voice controls too. The fan isn't too loud, even when it's operating at maximum speed — the volume topped out at 62dB in our testing. Meanwhile, at $50 each, the air filter replacements aren't too expensive compared with those from many of Levoit's competitors.

Canada and US Trade Talks Resume After Digital Tax Reversal
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Canada and the United States have resumed trade negotiations after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney agreed to rescind the country's digital services tax on U.S. technology companies. The development follows President Donald Trump's announcement on Friday that he was suspending all trade talks with Canada "effective immediately" over the tax policy. Why It Matters Trump's Friday announcement followed Canada's confirmation that it would proceed with its digital services tax on technology giants, most of which are U.S.-based, despite a previous G7 agreement where the Trump administration had agreed to drop a retaliatory tax proposal from congressional consideration. Canada's quick reversal signals the high stakes involved in maintaining trade relationships with the United States, particularly given the countries' deeply integrated economies. What To Know Carney's office confirmed on Sunday that both leaders have agreed to restart negotiations after Canada committed to abandoning the 3 percent levy targeting major U.S. tech giants including Amazon, Google, Meta, Uber, and Airbnb. The tax was scheduled to take effect Monday and would have applied retroactively, creating an estimated $2 billion bill for American companies. The conflict escalated rapidly after Canada's Finance Department confirmed Friday that companies would still be required to make their first digital tax payments Monday, despite ongoing negotiations. The tax targeted revenue generated from Canadian users rather than corporate profits, making it particularly burdensome for technology companies operating internationally. Trump's response was immediate and severe. He announced the suspension of all trade discussions "effective immediately" and threatened to impose new tariffs on Canadian goods within seven days. The president criticized Canada as "a very difficult Country to TRADE with" and described the digital tax as "a direct and blatant attack on our Country." The dispute has unfolded against already strained U.S.-Canada relations. Since taking office in January, Trump has repeatedly criticized Canada and suggested it should become the 51st U.S. state. These tensions contributed to the political environment that led to Justin Trudeau's resignation and Mark Carney's subsequent election on an anti-Trump platform. Canada's decision to rescind the tax came "in anticipation" of reaching a broader trade agreement, according to government officials. What People Are Saying Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Friday: Canada will "continue to conduct these complex negotiations in the best interests of Canadians. It's a negotiation." President Donald Trump previously said in the Oval Office that he expected Canada to lift the digital services tax: "Economically we have such power over Canada. We'd rather not use it. It's not going to work out well for Canada. They were foolish to do it."

MoreWhat Happens Next With negotiations resuming, both countries will likely focus on addressing broader trade issues beyond the digital services tax. The Trump administration has indicated expectations for additional Canadian concessions, particularly regarding agricultural tariffs that have been a longstanding source of friction.

Canadian Prime Minister Carney says trade talks with US resume after Canada rescinded tech tax
Carney's office said Carney and Trump have agreed to resume negotiations. 'Today's announcement will support a resumption of negotiations toward the July 21, 2025, timeline set out at this month's G7 Leaders' Summit in Kananaskis,' Carney said in a statement. Carney visited Trump in May at the White House, where he was polite but firm. Trump traveled to Canada for the G7 summit in Alberta, where Carney said that Canada and the U.S. had set a 30-day deadline for trade talks. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Trump, in a post on his social media network last Friday, said Canada had informed the U.S. that it was sticking to its plan to impose the digital services tax, which applies to Canadian and foreign businesses that engage with online users in Canada. Advertisement The digital services tax was due to hit companies including Amazon, Google, Meta, Uber and Airbnb with a 3% levy on revenue from Canadian users. It would have applied retroactively, leaving U.S. companies with a $2 billion U.S. bill due at the end of the month. Trump's announcement Friday was the latest swerve in the trade war he's launched since taking office for a second term in January. Progress with Canada has been a roller coaster, starting with the U.S. president poking at the nation's northern neighbor and repeatedly suggesting it would be absorbed as a U.S. state. Advertisement

Edge or Ultra? Samsung's latest premium Galaxy phones are both AU$400 off for EOFY — but today only
If you've been holding out for a good deal before picking up a new Samsung flagship device, you should know that time is running out to take advantage of the EOFY sales. In fact, today is your last chance to score an epic discount before the start of the new financial year. So if you're looking to grab a new phone and still claim it as a tax deduction for the current financial year, now's the time to make a decision. Right now, both the Galaxy S25 Ultra and the Galaxy S25 Edge have hit their lowest prices to date, with massive savings of up to AU$452 on the table for EOFY. The Galaxy S25 Ultra is the best phone of 2025 so far, and you can pick up the 256GB model right now for a cool AU$2,149 AU$1,697 on Amazon. Alternatively, the 512GB model has been reduced by AU$424, now only AU$2,349 AU$1,925. If I didn't already have this phone, I would snatch this deal up in a heartbeat. It tops our list of the best phones in Australia for 2025, and now you can pick up the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra at its lowest price ever thanks to this amazing deal from Amazon. Score the 256GB model in any colour option at a massive AU$452 discount right. Alternatively, you could opt to buy it in one of its exclusive colours direct from Samsung for AU$1,749. Or how about the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, which only released at the end of May this year? You can now snag the 256GB model for an impressive AU$1,849 AU$1,449, while the 512GB model has also had its price slashed, now only AU$2,049 AU$1,649. That's a saving of AU$400 for a phone that's only a month old! Talk about an incredibly attractive proposition for early adopters. Samsung's wafer-thin Galaxy S25 Edge smartphone has received an epic AU$400 discount in all storage sizes, just weeks out from release. Right now at Amazon, both the Titanium Black and Titanium Silver models are reduced, though you can get these colours or the Titanium Icyblue variant for the same price if you buy directly from the Samsung online store. If you're after the best smartphone experience, my advice is to look no further than the Galaxy S25 Ultra. It not only boasts the immensely powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, it also sports Samsung's most advanced smartphone camera system to date, featuring a 200MP main sensor, a new 50MP ultra-wide lens and a 10MP telephoto lens. Additionally, it offers the latest Galaxy AI features and a convenient built-in S Pen for seamless note-taking. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S25 Edge shares the same powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and 200MP main camera as the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but distinguishes itself with an incredibly sleek new frame, measuring a mere 5.8mm in thickness. However, it does come with a couple of drawbacks: the rest of its camera array isn't as capable as the Ultra's, and it also lacks S Pen support. Regardless of which phone you prefer, there's no denying that these are exceptionally good deals. You'll have to act fast, though, as these deals are unlikely to still be around tomorrow.
