Daily deals & tech roundup — 19 June 2026

A compact briefing of what matters for shoppers and subscribers today: a free Formula 1 broadcast on Apple TV, Google discontinuing Nest speakers (watch for possible clearance), new payment setup options for Galaxy Watch users, and several product updates and preorder windows to track.

Highlights

  • Apple TV will broadcast a Formula 1 Grand Prix for free to non-subscribers — a one-off streaming save for sports fans.
  • Google has discontinued the Nest Home Mini and Nest Audio; that often precedes retailer clearance but discounts are not guaranteed.
  • Google Wallet now works on Samsung Galaxy Watch models — useful if you prefer contactless pay from a non‑Pixel wearable.
  • GTA 6 pre-orders open June 25 — a major preorder window to watch if you plan to buy day one.

Deals & savings to watch

  • Free stream: Apple TV’s free F1 broadcast is the clearest immediate savings for non-subscribers.
  • Discontinued hardware: Nest Home Mini and Nest Audio have been discontinued; this can lead to retailer markdowns or remaining-stock deals — availability and prices are uncertain.
  • Preorders: GTA 6 pre-orders open June 25; preorders sometimes include bonuses or retailer promotions, but specifics should be checked when listings go live.

Subscriptions, payments & competition

  • Payments: A how-to for using Google Wallet on Samsung Galaxy Watch means you don’t need a Pixel Watch to tap and pay — no subscription required to use wallet features.
  • App stores: Apple opening third‑party iOS app stores in Brazil may increase competition there and potentially affect app pricing or subscription options over time, but broader effects are uncertain.

Product notes & buying guidance

  • Privacy caution: The XGIMI MemoMind One review flags intrusive AI/spy-like behavior; weigh privacy concerns before buying smart glasses.
  • Wearables & health: Ultrahuman’s M2 Live is an updated glucose tracker using Abbott’s Lingo sensors; sensor choices can affect device cost and ongoing sensor pricing, but exact consumer pricing impacts remain unclear.
  • Pro audio & hardware: Akai refreshed the MPC One and Key 37 with faster processors, more RAM and storage — new models may push discounts on previous generations.
  • Retro demand: Old iPods are resurging in popularity with Gen Z, which can affect used resale prices for classic players.

Key takeaways

  • Apple TV’s free F1 stream is the clearest short-term save for non-subscribers.
  • Discontinued Nest devices could see clearance, but timing and discounts are uncertain.
  • Google Wallet on Galaxy Watch broadens contactless-pay options without buying a Pixel Watch.
  • Read privacy reviews (e.g., smart glasses) before buying connected hardware.
