Valentine's Day shoppers and tech enthusiasts alike have a variety of deals to consider, with discounts on everything from Apple AirPods to smart home devices, according to multiple reports from The Verge. Simultaneously, Google's upcoming Pixel 10a smartphone is set for pre-order on February 18th, as reported by Wired. These developments come as consumers are also encouraged to review their personal finances at the start of the year.
The Verge highlighted numerous "Verge-approved gifts" on sale ahead of Valentine's Day, including smart home gear, soundbars, smartwatches, e-readers, and Bluetooth trackers. These deals, which include items like the Beats Powerbeats Pro and the Amazon Echo Dot Max, are available at prices that match or exceed holiday discounts, according to the publication. Sheena Vasani of The Verge, who writes about tech deals, noted that digital photo frames like the Aura Aspen are available at some of their best prices.
In addition to Valentine's Day sales, The Verge also reported on deals for Apple's AirPods. Discounts are available on every model, from the entry-level AirPods 4 to the Pro 3. The entry-level AirPods are available for around $100, according to the report.
Meanwhile, Wired reported on Google's upcoming Pixel 10a smartphone. The phone, which will be available for pre-order on February 18th, will stick to the design language of the Pixel 9a, with no camera bump on the back. While the company teased the phone with a YouTube video, it did not offer many details. Rumors suggest the Pixel 10a may utilize the same Tensor G4 processor as its predecessor.
Beyond tech, Wired also published a personal finance checklist for the new year. The publication noted that saving money was a top New Year's resolution in 2025 and 2026, according to Statista. The article recommends reviewing spending from the previous year and considering future financial goals.
