If you’re a fan of all things retro, Grid’s framed disassembled gadgets are a celebration of vintage tech you will likely find charming. The company turns obsolete smartphones, gaming consoles, controllers, and other old-school gizmos into collage-like artwork placed in shadowbox-style frames, making for incredibly unusual pieces of home or office decor. And right now through September 12th, many of our favorite Grid items are up to around 40 percent off in honor of the company’s fourth anniversary.
A wide range of nostalgia-inducing gadgets are on sale; you can check them all out here. You can, for instance, buy the translucent Game Boy Color and the iPod Photo from 2004 for $159.20 when you use promo code GRID4 at checkout. For me, though, the most noteworthy deal is the iPhone 4S, which is down to an all-time low of $99 ($70 off). It was my first smartphone ever and will always hold a special place in my heart as a result — plus it’s also the first iPhone to support Siri. That said, if you want to go even further back in time, you can consider the first-generation iPhone 2G for $299 — a whopping $400 discount on the 2007 smartphone.
Other deals we’re digging
The new TP-Link Tapo D225 Video Doorbell Camera is on sale for the first time, receiving a small $10 discount from Amazon and TP-Link that drops it to $89.99. We were impressed by how much value the doorbell offers, with free smart alerts for people, packages, and pets, and even local 24/7 recording at no extra cost. The 2K-capable video doorbell can run on battery, but you can also hook it to your doorbell wiring. Just bear in mind that you can’t use your existing chime. Read our review.
Paramount Plus has extended the 50 percent off deal we covered a few weeks ago. Now through September 23rd, new and returning subscribers can still get 50 percent off an annual subscription to Paramount Plus Essential (now $29.99) and Paramount Plus with Showtime (now $59.99). The latter lets you watch Showtime content, but both plans also grant access to the Paramount Plus library as well as let you livestream select NFL games.
You can buy the AeroPress Original from Woot for just $29.99 ($10 off), which is one of its best prices yet, until 1AM ET on September 13th. A Verge favorite, the portable coffee maker makes it easy to brew delicious coffee and espresso without the need for electricity, so you can take it anywhere, including while camping.
