According to The Verge, consumers can find significant discounts on a variety of items, including earbuds, speakers, TVs, and smart home technology.
The Verge's coverage highlighted several specific deals. The Beats Studio Buds Plus are on sale for less than $100, a 41 percent discount, as reported by Sheena Vasani. The outlet also published a Valentine's Day gift guide featuring 32 gift ideas.
Meanwhile, Verizon introduced a new policy affecting customers who want to unlock their phones after paying off device installment plans.

The only way to get an immediate unlock is to pay off the device plan at a Verizon corporate store.
