Welcome back to Inbox, hope you’re having a great Thursday so far. Yesterday, like many people in the northeast, I woke up to smoky skies and an acrid haze I could practically taste. Things definitely feel a little apocalyptic, but at least we have a World Cup Final match to look forward to this weekend. Go Argentina!

As a reminder, Inbox is the tech newsletter you should be able to read in around 95 seconds. We cover the most important 9to5Google stories from the last couple of days along with a few highlights from around the web. We publish every Tuesday and Thursday, and if you like what you read, please subscribe.

Welcome to the inaugural issue of Inbox by 9to5Google, a newsletter that’s also a love letter to the days when email (and email apps) were simpler and more opinionated.

To start, we’ll be sending issues on Tuesday and Thursday, but hopefully with time we’ll be able to add more daily sends. And don’t worry, Ben’s excellent Weekender newsletter will continue to be published every Sunday afternoon.

Inbox is the tech newsletter you should be able to read in 95 seconds or less. We’ll cover the most important story from the previous day along with a few highlights from around the web.

Ready? Let’s get started.

No one really enjoys Prime Day anymore. The days of finding a needle-in-a-haystack deal are long over, and now it’s more about whether you have the patience to wait until Amazon applies minor discounts to the stuff you really want.

To that end, I usually use the month of June to store things in the “Save it for later” section of my Amazon cart for items that have caught my eye throughout the year but haven’t been cheap enough yet to justify ordering.

Over the years, I’ve accumulated some products that I use every day, that have withstood travel, kids, and time’s daily abuses. Some of them are tech-related, or tech-adjacent, and others are just nice things that I really enjoy.
