The subscription service has surpassed the 100-million-subscriber mark and now has 101 million subscribers in the U.S., researcher Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP) said in a study. Amazon reached the milestone at the end of 2018. The company had a little more than 90 million U.S. Amazon has been extremely secretive about its Prime figures, but CEO Jeff Bezos revealed in a shareholder letter in April that Prime had 100 million subscribers globally at the time. Bezos didn’t break out figures by region, so it wasn’t clear how many U.S.-based subscribers Amazon had at the time. CIRP’s study, which it’s been conducting since 2014, also delves into how much the average Amazon customer spends each year on the company’s marketplace. At the end of 2018, Amazon Prime members averaged $1,400 in spending, according to CIRP. That was more than double the $600 non-Prime members spend. Amazon Prime costs $119 per year or $13 per month. That includes free two-day shipping and reduced rates on overnight shipping, as well as access to a variety of digital content through Amazon’s Prime Video, Prime Music, and audiobooks in Audible.

Once upon a time, Amazon Prime Day was only once a year, usually in July, but the deals never stop, so why limit ourselves to one sales event? That was obviously Amazon's thinking when they announced the Prime Early Access Sale a few weeks ago, after months of rumors that the e-Commerce colossus was doubling up on Prime Day shopping holidays - with this also serving as an unofficial kickoff to the holiday shopping season. That's right, folks, "early Black Friday deals" start this week, because why wait for Amazon Fashion Halloween to be over? Amazon Prime Early Access Sale runs October 11-12 in 15 countries, and as we hunker down for a veritable tsunami of deals, we have our eyes peeled and our keyboards ready. As we seek out the best deals on the best wireless earbuds - almost every bud on that list was discounted back in July - smart home devices, tablets, Chromebooks, and, of course, sales on the best Android phones, flagship and mid-range alike, we're balancing past deals, current values, and changes in the market to ensure you get only the best discounts on the products you want. This data was done with the help of GSA Content Generator DEMO.
We're already seeing some sales alive and kicking for Amazon Deals devices - Kindle e-readers, Fire TVs, Echo speakers and beyond - and we'll be keeping this live blog updated throughout the next 48 hours as Deals (www.feelingcutelol.com) live, die, and (in some cases) live again. The Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook was almost too good to be true at $280, and alas it has sold out, but there are a handful of other Chromebook deals to take advantage of before their prices turn back into pumpkins at 3AM. Among Acer's superb Chromebook lineup, the Acer Chromebook Spin 514 (3H) is just below the premium titans like the Spin 714 and the now-discontinued Spin 713 (rest in peace, my lovely). When I went hands on with it hands-on with it back in May, it showed a lot of promise with its Ryzen chipset, up-firing speakers - something Acer still hasn't made standard for some unknowable reason - and long-lasting battery, and tonight's deal from Best Buy helps it stand out from the pack.
Even if all you need in a watch is for it to look pretty and show your notifications, the Pixel Watch is $350 and you're stuck with Google's proprietary bands for the time being, while you can grab the 40mm Galaxy Watch 4 for $150 and then use it with any 20mm watch band you'd like. I have about 20 bands I swap between on mine depending on my wardrobe, mood, and the time of year. 150 from AmazonAmazon only has the Silver 40mm model down to $150, but you can get the Black 44mm model for $170 off at Best Buy - the larger size has been $30 more expensive, so you get an extra $10 off here. While the Galaxy Watch 4 comes with a magnetic charging puck, it's not very sexy. For a better way to charge both your Galaxy Watch 4 and your smartphone, Samsung's latest version of the Duo wireless charger is down to $50. It'll charge the latest Samsung Galaxy smartphones at up to 15W, but it also supports standard Qi for your Pixel, your wife's iPhone, or whichever wireless charging phone you're rocking.
The biggest question hanging over the Pixel 7 has been if it would be a worthy upgrade and fix the Pixel 6's shortcomings in regards to battery and cell reception, and now that our Pixel 7 review has arrived, we can answer those questions before you buy one or the other. The Pixel 7's minutely smaller screen can get a little brighter in direct sunlight, the Google Tensor Amazon Fashion G2 is slightly more efficient to help the smaller battery last a full and complete day, and the mostly unchanged camera sensors are a wee bit faster thanks to the G2 processor. This means you have two options: take advantage of the trade-in deals and free gift cards for the Pixel 7 and pay the majority of that $600, or spend $380 on the Google Pixel 6 and get the Pixel 7 features with the next Pixel Feature Drop. If you lack a trade-in device, the Pixel 6 is a steal at $380, as the phone will get at least two more years of platform updates, four years of security updates, and almost all of the same features while costing $220 less.
