The recent reviews of the new M2 MacBook Air and Nothing Phone 1 as well as non-stop coverage of Amazon Prime Day have made for a busy week here at The Verve. We are ready for a relaxing weekend to rest and recuperate. There are more deals to be had.

The first one is perfect for R&R time, as it is a speaker that you can take with you to the beach or the pool. There is a sale on the JBL flip 5. This is the best discount we have seen in a long time, and it is lower than anything Prime Day has to offer. The Flip 5 comes in a variety of colors and offers good sound, with enough volume to fill a room or annoy a couple next to you on the beach. It has an IPX7 waterproof rating, so you don't have to worry about it getting wet, and it's easy to carry. Don't be that person with the booming music while everyone is trying to chill.

If you want to trade in your phone for something else, I would suggest checking out the store on the other side of the internet. I can tell you from my own experience that when you swap your old phone for the more expensive one, you'll get a better deal. At the time of this writing, if you trade in an older version of the phone for a newer one, you will get $68 of trade-in value from the company, but if you trade in a newer one, you will get $100. Take advantage of the current discount on the Pixel 6 Pro by trying your luck and seeing if you get an extra- special value.

The larger sibling of the newest Pixel duo has a 6.7-inch screen, 12 gigabytes of RAM, and a third camera with a 4x magnification.
