Google Pixel 9 Pro XL Price Drop Summer Sale Google Store
Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, right, and Pixel 9 Pro are on sale once again, with the former getting its ... More biggest discount yet. Photographer: David Paul Morris/Bloomberg Google wants to steal some of Samsung's limelight ahead of its Unpacked event tomorrow, where we will likely see the Galaxy Z Fold 7 launched, with its own major discount for the Pixel 9 and Pixel 8 series. The Google U.S. store has launched its summer sale, as it calls it. But, truthfully, most of these discounts can—and are—found throughout the year. There are two clear differences with this promotion, however. Firstly, all of the company's phones are on sale. Secondly, the Pixel 9 Pro XL has received the biggest discount I've seen yet. The headline deal here is the $350 discount Google has knocked off the Pixel 9 Pro XL. That specific number is typically reserved for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. I cover (almost) all of these deals and I don't recall Google discounting its non-foldable flagship by that much. If you have your eye on the Pixel 9 Pro XL, this is the time to buy it. The Google Pixel 8 Pro Is Still The Better Deal The Google Pixel 8 Pro . (Photo by Ed JONES / AFP) (Photo by ED JONES/AFP via Getty Images) Despite the size of the Pixel 9 Pro XL price drop, I still think the Pixel 8 Pro is the better deal for people on a serious budget. Google and Samsung changed how these older smartphones are viewed with the announcement that 2024 devices—and beyond—will receive seven years of software updates, security patches, and replacement parts. The Pixel 8 Pro, too, isn't wildly different from the Pixel 9. AI tools like Magic Editor, Best Take, and Video Boost have made it over to last year's Google phone. Formerly exclusive Pixel 9 features, such as the Pixel Weather app, have now migrated over to the Pixel 8. Only the updated hardware separates the two phones. Check out my longer read here on why the Pixel 8 might be the better deal. If you're dead set on the Pixel 9 Pro XL then it might be best to wait until the Pixel 10 launches, which could be next month. The size of this deal suggests that Google may continue its policy of deep discounts for the previous generation's flagship phone. There will be an instant price drop the moment the Pixel 10 hits the Google Store and then further sales as the year progresses.

U.S. auto sales lose steam after tariff-induced shopping spree
Published Jul 01, 2025 • 3 minute read Customers at a Ford dealership in Richmond, Calif. Photo by David Paul Morris / Bloomberg U.S. auto sales are losing momentum after a springtime surge fueled by shoppers racing to buy cars before President Donald Trump's auto tariffs drove up prices.

Create Account Ford Motor Co.'s second-quarter sales jumped 14.2%, helped by its employee-pricing-for-everyone discount program, though it saw the pace of growth moderate last month. Hyundai Motor Co. said deliveries rose 10% in the second quarter, with a 3% gain in June after sales soared 19% in April. Toyota Motor Corp.'s sales in April-through-June period rose 7.2%, despite volumes being essentially flat last month. 'We did have a lot of pull-forward business, I think the whole industry did' from late March into early May, said David Christ, the head of Toyota brand sales in the U.S. Since then, 'the sales pace returned to what I call more normal,' he told reporters in a briefing on Tuesday. Shoppers rushed to showrooms earlier this year as beating tariff-induced price increases became a motivation to buy, pushing up second-quarter sales an estimated 2.5% from the prior-year period, according to industry researcher J.D. Power. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond. By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.

Subaru Corp.'s June deliveries dropped 16%, while Kia Corp.'s volume fell 3.2%, limiting the South Korean carmaker's total second-quarter gain to 5%. Nissan Motor Co. sales fell 6.5% in the most recent three months. The annual automotive selling rate likely fell to 15 million in June — the slowest pace in the last 12 months — from 17.6 million in April as consumers grow cautious about big-ticket purchases over worries about the economy. With already high car prices expected to rise further as automakers manage billions of dollars in tariff costs, it may only get worse from here. 'The party is over,' Jonathan Smoke, chief economist for researcher Cox Automotive Inc., said in an interview. 'It's clearly slowing. It's because of affordability getting worse and forcing what we think will be production declines to keep supply in balance.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Smoke sees the annualized monthly rate of U.S. auto sales sticking around 15 million in the second half of the year, down from 16.3 million in the first six months of 2025. Last year, Americans purchased roughly 16 million cars and light trucks. Sales have slowed at the Honda dealership Peter Petito manages in Queens, New York, after an uptick of buyers that he likened to a run on grocery stores before a blizzard. It was like 'there's going to be a snowstorm and there's no milk, juice or bread,' Petito said. Car dealers polled recently by Cox reported that fears about the economy have become the No. 1 factor holding back their business, replacing high interest rates that had topped the previous two surveys earlier this year and late last year. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'People are having a lot of uncertainty,' Beau Boeckmann, president of Galpin Motors, a major Ford dealer in southern California, said in an interview. 'And during times of uncertainty, people put off a major purchase.' The high cost of cars remains an impediment. After declining for much of last year, auto prices are on the rise again. The average cost of a new car reached $48,799 in June, up 1% from a year ago and 28% higher than in 2019, according to Cox. That's pushing shoppers to stretch their budgets for a new set of wheels. Nearly one in five buyers — an all-time high — took on loans with monthly payments of $1,000 or more in the second quarter, according to automotive researcher Tariffs risk exacerbating that trend. Automakers have so far refrained from large, across the board price increases. Instead, they've pulled other levers such as cutting incentive spending, or raising the price of select models affected by tariffs. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'Given the impact of tariffs, prices are likely to start rising at a much faster rate,' Charlie Chesbrough, senior economist for Cox, told reporters last week. Average monthly car payments reached a record $747 in June, up $22 from a year ago, according to J.D. Power. That has more people stretching car loans to 84 months — 7 years — which accounted for 12% of all auto financing last month, up 3 percentage points from last year. The June slowdown was 'a hangover from some of the sales that were pulled ahead,' said Mark Wakefield, global auto market lead for consultant AlixPartners. The firm predicts automakers will pass along 80% of the cost of Trump's tariffs to consumers, driving up prices by nearly $2,000 per car. 'We don't see the full pass-through until the end of the year,' he said. — With assistance from Gabrielle Coppola. Ontario Toronto Blue Jays World Toronto Maple Leafs Canada
