It may be hard to believe that the Revlon One-Step boasts similar quality to popular styling tools like the Dyson Airwrap, which cost hundreds of dollars more. But we've tried it for ourselves and were impressed. "I'm not the type of person to spend very much on my hair, so when I heard about a Dyson Airwrap dupe that costs less than $50, I was sold," says Sarah Saril, deals and how-to-watch editor on the Reviews Team. "Of course, at hundreds of dollars less, the Revlon One-Step isn't nearly as feature-packed or smoothly designed as the Dyson users compare it to. It is, however, a versatile, all-in-one tool that gives me a salon-worthy blowout in minutes. I can't recommend it enough, especially with this ongoing discount."
The One-Step features three speeds and heat settings, plus a cool shot feature, allowing you to control how much heat you're using on your hair, though you'll still need to use a heat protectant, of course. The oval brush design is easy to hold and perfect for smoothing down hair while also lifting the roots and adding volume. But it's the price that's really hard to beat. "It's not the best deal we've ever seen—this tool specifically can hit some very low prices during the holidays. Regardless, it's still a worthwhile deal, especially since promotions for it have been few and far between in recent years," Saril explains.
With nearly 400,000 five-star reviews, Amazon shoppers can't get enough of the One-Step either. "I've been using this for four years, and it has completely transformed my hair routine! If you're tired of juggling a brush and a blow dryer, this all-in-one tool is an absolute game changer," said one reviewer. "After four years of regular use, the volumizer is still going strong. It has maintained its performance, and I'm genuinely impressed by its durability…My hair looks smoother and has significantly less frizz compared to using a standard blow dryer."
Shoppers love how well it works for different hair types. "My mom, daughter, and I all have one…My mom and daughter have very thick hair, and mine is thinner. My daughter and I have tons of natural curl. We all used to take an hour blow drying and styling, but this tool cut our time in half," said another reviewer. "We have all experienced our best hair days since using it…The brush doesn't tangle in your hair so you can really get in and create volume. It's a fairly light tool and tons easier than managing a round bush and blow dryer."

Amazon UK to battle $5.4bn in lawsuits from retailers and consumers
The UK Competition Appeal Tribunal has authorised two lawsuits from retailers and consumers against online e-commerce giant Amazon for allegedly abusing its market dominance. Both lawsuits allege that Amazon violated Section 18 of the UK's Competition Act 1998 in actions before 31 December 2020, and Article 102 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). The proposed class representatives are seeking potential collective damages totalling up to £4bn ($5.4bn) for affected parties, as reported by Reuters. The tribunal has given permission for these cases to proceed as opt-out collective actions. Andreas Stephan, a professor of competition law, is heading one lawsuit on behalf of more than 200,000 third-party sellers. This claim seeks damages of up to £2.7bn. Stephan's legal team accuses Amazon of rigging its "Buy Box" feature to preferentially highlight products that use Amazon's logistics and delivery services. The suit claims that the criteria used by Amazon to select which offers appear in the Buy Box are opaque and biased toward listings that employ Amazon's fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) service over those that use fulfilment by merchant (FBM). It also alleges discriminatory practices in how delivery promises are adjusted for FBM products. In a separate action, consumer advocate Robert Hammond is representing millions of Amazon customers in a lawsuit seeking up to £1.3bn. This case similarly accuses Amazon of anti-competitive behaviour. An Amazon spokesperson was quoted by the news agency: "These claims are without merit and we're confident that will become clear through the legal process. "Amazon has always focused on supporting the 100,000 businesses that sell their products on our UK store, and more than half of all physical product sales on our UK store are from independent selling partners." The legal challenges come amidst regulatory investigations and decisions by competition authorities concerning aspects of Amazon's operations and conduct within its national marketplaces. In January 2025, the retailer was accused of unlawful data tracking of its consumers in the US state of California. The US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) sued Amazon in 2023 for using 'manipulative tactics and deceptive user-interface designs' to enrol consumers in Prime subscriptions.

Gear News of the Week: Amazon Buys Bee, VSCO Has a New App, and CMF Debuts a Smartwatch
Plus: Google Photos lets you convert images to videos, Microsoft has a 5G Surface, and Palmer Luckey asks if you'd buy a US-made laptop. All products featured on WIRED are independently selected by our editors. However, we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links. Amazon has acquired Bee, a relatively new AI company that debuted an always-listening wearable earlier this year. Bee cofounder Maria de Lourdes Zollo shared the news via LinkedIn. We covered Bee AI at CES 2025—it was one of many new wearables that promised to listen to everything around you. It didn't save audio recordings, but it used the power of third-party and in-house large language models to transcribe words and create a journal of sorts, offering insights into your day, crafting takeaways, actionable tasks, and summaries of conversations. Despite being one of the first on the scene with its Alexa voice assistant, Amazon has been trailing behind the likes of OpenAI and Google's Gemini in the AI space, only recently debuting the upgraded version of Alexa+, powered by LLMs. The Bee acquisition would let Amazon offer its customers a different kind of AI experience from Alexa, one that is with you wherever you are and is always listening. That raises several privacy concerns, and Amazon has historically had a poor track record on that front. We'll have to wait and see whether Bee's current privacy policies will shift under the new ownership, and what will become of the little yellow wearable. CMF Debuts the $99 Watch 3 Pro Nothing's sub-brand CMF has a new smartwatch, following up on last year's Watch Pro 2. It's called the Watch 3 Pro, which is a subtle shift in the naming convention that makes it more similar to the CMF Phone 2 Pro that debuted a few months ago. The price is also now $99. Even with the $30 price bump, it's still one of the cheapest smartwatches around, though it runs RTOS (real-time operating system), meaning you won't be able to access your favorite apps here. That trade-off lets the Watch 3 Pro purportedly last 13 days on a single charge, a slight bump over its predecessor (the new watch lasts 4.5 days if you have the always-on display enabled). There's a new dual-band GPS for more accurate route tracking, 131 sport modes with a personalized running coach, and a new heart-rate sensor that CMF claims is more accurate across workout intensities and skin tones. Naturally, there's a dose of 'AI-powered' post-workout summaries. The CMF Watch 3 Pro can now track blood oxygen levels and stress, and it offers guided breathing exercises to help you relax. It even has period tracking. That's almost all the typical health features found on more full-featured smartwatches, save the electrocardiogram and fall detection. You'll be able to see basic notifications on the watch, and there's now a ChatGPT integration that lets you talk to the chatbot and set reminders, though your phone will need to be nearby for processing. It's available in dark gray, light gray, and orange, with a metal body and soft-touch silicone straps. CMF says all of its smartwatches are now transitioning to the Nothing X app, the same app used to configure Nothing's audio products. There's support for Apple Health, Strava, and Google Health Connect, so your data will show up in those respective platforms. It officially went on sale July 22, though some regions will have to wait until later this year. 5G Laptops Make an Unexpected Return Microsoft has announced a new Surface Laptop with an integrated 5G cellular modem, which will use Verizon's 5G network. Although it looks nearly identical to the current Surface Laptop 13.8 (7th Edition), it uses a new 'custom multi-layered laminate' material on the exterior rather than aluminum, which Microsoft says 'allows radio signals to pass through without impacting performance,' according to the company's blog post. Microsoft also boasts that it has completely redesigned the Surface Laptop to 'thoughtfully' and 'strategically' integrate the antenna inside to reduce interference. The new device is targeted toward business users, but it's an interesting reversal to the severe lack of cellular laptops recently. Microsoft has been offering a 5G option of the 2-in-1 Surface Pro for a while now, but never a Surface Laptop. When 5G was first rolling out in 2019, laptops with integrated 5G cellular connections were starting to roll out, such as the Lenovo Yoga 5G in 2020. But interest died out pretty fast. Perhaps Covid killed the momentum, since people were at home with their stable Wi-Fi connections. Or maybe it was because the Qualcomm Snapdragon-powered laptops at that time really couldn't compete with Intel. Interestingly, because it's an enterprise device, the Surface Laptop 5G is actually powered by an Intel Core Ultra Series 2 rather than Qualcomm's Snapdragon X. Microsoft may also be trying to preempt Apple's move into cellular MacBooks. It was reported late last year that Apple was exploring the idea, having acquired Intel's 5G modem business back in 2019. The Surface Laptop 5G will be available starting on August 26, with a starting price of $1,800 for an Intel Core Ultra 5, 16 GB of RAM, and 256 GB of storage. — Luke Larsen Would You Buy a US-Made Laptop? That's the question posed by Palmer Luckey this week. The pro-Trump tech entrepreneur has already stamped his footprint in the worlds of virtual reality through Oculus and military tech through Anduril, but a more conventional computer would be new ground for Luckey. He raised the provocative question at the Reindustrialize 2025 Summit earlier this week. 'I actually think Anduril could build computers in the United States,' he stated. 'I've looked into it very, very deeply. I've had conversations with everyone you would need to do this. On the chip side, on the assembly side, on the manufacturing side. I know exactly how to do it, what it would cost, how long it would take.' Luckey goes on to say that the only thing holding him back is that he hopes someone else does it first. He later posted the following question on X: 'Would you buy a Made In America computer from Anduril for 20% more than Chinese-manufactured options from Apple?' At the time of writing, 64 percent of the over 77,000 responses said yes, while the rest said no. Whether or not there will be Anduril laptops in the future isn't so interesting as the larger question of how much it would cost to build technology from the ground up without relying on foreign production. The way his question is stated implies that he doesn't just mean laptops that are assembled in the US, but actually devices where every component is made in the US. If we trust Luckey in his price estimation, that would mean a MacBook Air–like device would cost an extra $200. That's less than what analysts have said in the past, including one approximation that stated iPhones would cost at least 25 percent more due to increased labor costs alone. Others have put that estimate much higher—as high as $3,500 for an iPhone, or stated that it's altogether impossible due to supply chain limitations. — Luke Larsen Google Lets You Convert Images to Videos Google Photos officially rolled out a feature this week that lets you convert static images to videos using generative artificial intelligence. We first saw this capability on an Honor smartphone, but it's now becoming more widely available. Google says the feature is powered by its Veo 2 generative AI model. All you need to do is select the image from your gallery and choose 'Subtle movements' or 'I'm feeling lucky,' and it'll get animated into a six-second clip (of something that never happened). That's not all that's new. The company is also adding a feature called Remix, which lets you convert existing photos into art styles, like anime, comics, and 3D animations (remember Prisma?). It'll be rolling out over the next few weeks. All of these effects and features might feel a little much, especially considering all the other tools at your disposal in the app, which is why Google also has a new Create tab. This is where you can go to convert photos to videos, use Remix, create collages, highlight videos, and more. The tab will be rolling out in August. Facer Is Back in Wear OS 6 Google's Wear OS 6 update started rolling out this week—it's the latest version of the smartwatch operating system, introducing a more colorful interface, widgets that are even more glanceable, alongside power efficiency improvements for better battery life. One of the oldest watch face apps, Facer—which has hundreds of themed watch face designs across various platforms—has announced an update adding compatibility with Wear OS 6. That's big news, considering that the app lost compatibility after Wear OS 5 rolled out in 2024. Facer didn't support Google's Watch Face Format (WFF) when Wear OS 5 launched, which was mandatory to access watch face complications. The company had to work with Google to bring back full functionality of its watch faces to Wear OS 6, and the it even says Facer will deliver 'significantly improved battery life' on all faces. The Facer update also adds new collaborations, like a SpongeBob SquarePants watch face, as well as a social component called 'Looks.' It's a tab in the app that lets you show off your favorite watch faces. Think of it as a new way to discover watch faces outside of the app's general explore page. If you like a look, you can find out what watch face they're using and download it, and if you like their watch strap, Facer will point you to its own strap store so you can nab it. VSCO Launches a New App Called Capture Photo filter and editing app VSCO—yes, the very same that popularized the 'VSCO girl'—has been around since 2012, but the company just launched a stand-alone mobile app after a decade. Capture is an iPhone-only camera app that has more than 50 'live presets' with real-time film effects and manual camera settings for better control over the final image. It essentially lets you preview the final look of your photo before you even hit the shutter button. These presets are non-destructive, so you can still edit the original captured image later on if you decide to change things up. It supports RAW and ProRAW formats, has real-time effects like bloom, and can instantly sync with the VSCO app for additional edits or sharing. It's free to download now, and there's no word if an Android app will be available in the future.

Best Stock to Buy Right Now: Amazon vs. Opendoor Technologies
Key Points A hedge fund manager believes Opendoor could go to $82 per share over the coming years. Amazon doesn't have nearly as much upside, but is already a proven winner. 10 stocks we like better than Opendoor Technologies › Wall Street thought struggling real estate e-commerce company Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ: OPEN) was down and out. Suddenly, the stock has surged over 500% in less than a month. What's going on? A hedge fund manager recently announced an investment in the stock via social media, setting an $82 price target for shares that ignited interest in a company that has struggled in a slow housing market. But is it wiser to chase the momentum, or to look to a proven e-commerce winner in Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) instead? Let's take a closer look at Opendoor's prospects and determine which of these two hot growth stocks is the better buy right now. Is Opendoor Technologies poised for a comeback? Opendoor Technologies aimed to become the housing market's version of Amazon with iBuying, a process by which a company buys and resells homes through an online marketplace. The company went public via a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger in late 2020, amid a period of 0% interest rates that ultimately led to high inflation and prompted the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates aggressively. The resulting spike in mortgage rates (plus already higher home prices) slammed the brakes on the housing market, creating tremendous problems for Opendoor, which took significant losses on homes it struggled to sell for a profit. Opendoor's stock has cratered since then as losses continue. Hedge fund manager Eric Jackson elaborated in his post on X that he believes the company's cost-cutting, pivot to partnering with agents, and lack of direct competitors offer a path to significant upside over the coming years, comparing it to the remarkable turnaround that Carvana achieved. Eric Jackson acknowledges the risks associated with Opendoor stock, but setting such a high target for a company has spiked investor interest in the stock, sending it soaring. Amazon offers far more certainty, though it's probably not a 100-bagger anymore Amazon, one of the world's most prominent companies, is a safer stock to own. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. But Amazon's massive $2.4 trillion market capitalization also means it has nowhere near the upside potential Opendoor does. That said, the company still has room for growth. E-commerce accounts for less than a fifth of total retail spending in the United States, and Amazon's lucrative cloud unit, Amazon Web Services (AWS), is poised to grow significantly over the coming decade and beyond as artificial intelligence (AI) drives increased cloud usage. Analysts estimate Amazon will grow earnings by an average of 21% annually over the next three to five years. Assuming the stock's valuation remains the same, that growth would double the stock price in just under four years. That's no 100-bagger, but most investors would probably take those returns with a smile. Sometimes, a bird in the hand is worth 100 in the bush Comparing two very different e-commerce stocks boils down to this: The probability that Amazon doubles in value over the next three to five years is far greater than the probability that Opendoor increases by 100 times. Opendoor's core iBuying business is steadily dragging the company down, steadily depleting the company's book value. The iBuying process is a low-margin business model that ties up a significant amount of capital while unsold houses sit on the balance sheet. Opendoor isn't buying and reselling inventory fast enough, or fleshing out its iBuying model with enough higher-margin add-on services to make the company sustainable to this point. It could remain an uphill battle in a slow housing market plagued by affordability issues. The idea of an Amazon-like e-commerce experience for real estate sounds good at first, but it hasn't translated to business success. Until something changes here, Opendoor faces substantial risks that make it hard to justify buying the stock at a premium to its book value. It's like playing the lottery. Someone, somewhere, may win, but it's a terrible way to try and make money. I don't know how high Opendoor may go. The market has become quite euphoric, which bodes well for speculative behavior. Opendoor announces earnings on Aug. 5. The company needs to deliver solid, or at least improving, business fundamentals; otherwise, the stock could easily reverse course rather quickly. What I do know is that Amazon is the superior business and the better growth stock to buy right now. It's not even close. Should you buy stock in Opendoor Technologies right now?
