Best-selling Ray-Ban Meta glasses are 20 per cent off in rare deal
Right now, Amazon Australia has knocked 20 per cent off the best-selling style, bringing the price down from $489 to $391.
It's no surprise they're the number one bestseller in their category.
Combining the iconic Wayfarer shape with next-level tech, the glasses have earned a 4.2-star rating on Amazon, with fans raving about the style, ease of use, and surprisingly powerful features.
Let's break it down. These aren't just sunglasses, they're an AI-powered multitasking device disguised as your everyday shades.
With Meta AI built in, you can use voice commands to take hands-free calls, play music, snap photos and videos, or even ask questions on the go.
Say, 'Hey Meta, take a photo,' and boom, you've just captured your view with the upgraded ultra-wide 12 MP camera.
Even better? You don't need Wi-Fi for some of the most impressive features.
The glasses can translate live conversations between English, French, Italian and Spanish without being connected to the internet, which makes them a game-changer for travellers or anyone brushing up on their language skills.
The audio quality is also a standout. The open-ear speakers are discreet and cleverly designed to let you hear your music or calls clearly, without completely blocking out the world around you.
They've got extended bass, higher volume, and directional audio that keeps your sound private, even on a windy beach walk or a noisy commute.
And if you're wondering how they'll hold up during a busy day, don't stress.
The battery lasts up to four hours on a single charge, and the slim charging case gives you eight extra charges on the go.
It's pocket-sized too, so it's easy to take anywhere.
These glasses are built for capturing your life in the moment.
Share what you see directly to your socials, switch between your phone and glasses camera during a call, or just take photos without reaching for your phone.
And thanks to the Meta View app, you can manage all your content, settings and updates with ease, even continue chatting with Meta AI when you're off your glasses and on your phone.
With all this packed into a pair of sunnies, the $391 sale price starts to feel like a serious bargain.

Run, don't walk: This $399 Philips air fryer is now just $198 in a rare Amazon Australia deal
If there's one kitchen gadget Aussies swear by these days, it's the trusty air fryer, and Philips has just dropped one of its best-sellers to an all-time low price. The Philips Dual Basket Air Fryer, which usually retails for $399, is now available on Amazon Australia for just $198, a massive 50 per cent off. This isn't just any air fryer. It's sleek, modern and seriously clever. Designed with RapidAir Plus technology, it delivers crispy results with up to 90 per cent less fat, so you can enjoy your favourite fried food without the guilt. Think hot chips, golden chicken nuggets, crispy fish, fluffy roasted veg or even cakes, all done with virtually no oil. What really sets it apart, though, is the two-drawer design. Each drawer operates independently with its own temperature and timing, but they can also sync up to ensure your whole meal finishes cooking at exactly the same time. So, no more soggy sides waiting around while your chicken catches up. One drawer is slightly smaller than the other, which means you can use less power for those quick weekday meals or heat-ups. But when it's time to feed the whole family, the full 9-litre capacity comes in handy. And thanks to the Sync and Copy functions, cooking a full dinner is as simple as tapping a button. The intuitive touchscreen makes it easy to select from eight preset cooking modes, including fresh and frozen fries, chicken, fish, meat, cake and vegetables. No guessing, no fiddling with temps, just touch and go. Plus, the beeping reminder tells you when it's time to toss your food for perfect results every time. Cleanup is easy too; the PTFE non-stick coated baskets slide out and go straight into the dishwasher. No soaking, scrubbing or swearing needed. And if you're stuck for dinner ideas, the Philips HomeID app has step-by-step recipes that are tailored specifically for the dual-basket model, so you can get the most out of your new kitchen toy. One shopper shared their experience, and it might just convince you: 'If you've owned a single drawer air fryer before, you'll know it can be frustrating trying to cook two different types of food that need different settings. This air fryer sorts that out. Put chips in one drawer, chicken nuggets in the other, hit the magic button, they finish at the same time, no checking needed.' 'It looks great on the bench top, too. The smaller drawer is perfect for small meals, and it uses less power. It's the perfect air fryer.' Considering the huge discount, sleek design and unbeatable functionality, this is a deal that won't last long.

‘Bigger than Amazon': Trump's crypto genius is about to hit Aussie bitcoin believers
'Bitcoin has now overtaken silver and Amazon to become the fifth-largest global asset, as investors increasingly see it as a complement to gold. With subdued retail activity, this rally is being led by ETFs, corporates, and long-term holders, not speculation. 'The United States is rapidly cementing its position as the global hub for digital asset investment.' By comparison, some Australian industry participants are becoming frustrated at what they perceive as a glacial pace of innovation. Labor has proposed licensing, sandbox, and stablecoin frameworks – bills that could look similar to the proposed US laws – but is yet to introduce draft legislation. There's also plenty of scepticism to contend with: Reserve Bank governor Michele Bullock last year said bitcoin had 'no role' in the Australian economy or payments system, and ASIC chair Joe Longo has also dismissed bitcoin's rally as an example of 'the bigger fool theory' in which overvalued assets can be resold to naive buyers. Australian senator Gerard Rennick last month enraged the global bitcoin community when he branded the cryptocurrency a 'Ponzi scheme'. Loading Lucas said that while Labor made meaningful progress with cryptocurrency reforms over the past 12 months, patience was beginning to wear thin. 'Institutional capital moves at scale and speed; we need more than consultation papers,' she said. 'The industry is eager to see bold yet balanced implementation to ensure we remain globally competitive. Australia risks falling behind if we don't act with the same urgency [as the US].' David Lavecky, chief executive of blockchain finance firm Canvas, said Australia could use its own 'crypto week' to spur investment. Steps like the Reserve Bank's digital currency pilot 'Project Acacia' should be welcomed, according to Lavecky, but he agreed with Lucas that more urgency is required. 'An Australian 'crypto week' must be about substance, not hype,' he said. 'We would showcase regulated innovation like Project Acacia's tokenised bonds and stablecoins, not just trading chatter. 'The government is making the right moves ... Stablecoin laws and the RBA's Project Acacia are exactly where blockchain should be focused: improving financial markets' efficiency, cutting costs and improving liquidity in financial markets.' While institutional investors are leading the bitcoin frenzy, some retail investors are eager not to miss out. Almost a third (31 per cent) of Australian adults now own cryptocurrency, according to the Independent Reserve Cryptocurrency Index, with Baby Boomers the fastest-growing cohort. Edward Carroll, head of global markets at MHC Digital Group, is urging prospective investors to take a breath, however. 'Bitcoin should be a considered component of a diversified portfolio, not an all-in investment,' he said. Loading 'Rather than reacting to short-term market noise, investors should take a long-term perspective on the asset... We would encourage a dollar-cost averaging strategy to smooth out short-term sentiment-driven swings. Its strong performance reflects broader concerns about a debt-laden financial system, with many investors seeing it as a hedge against inflation and negative real yields in traditional fixed income markets.' For BTC Markets analyst Lucas, not all digital assets are created equal. Bitcoin was the world's first cryptocurrency, and has disparate characteristics to meme coins and other newer digital assets. 'Bitcoin, for example, has a fixed supply of 21 million, that scarcity underpins its investment thesis and role as a potential store of value,' she said. 'Many other tokens don't have that feature, which affects their long-term appeal. 'As always, risk management remains essential. Volatility is part of the asset class. Investors should take a long-term view, diversify sensibly, and ensure they understand what they're investing in.'
