AirPods 4 with ANC crash to $119 for Prime Day–go get ’em now!
Macworld Even at full price, we really like the AirPods 4 with ANC as an affordable alternative to AirPods Pro, but at this price, they’re impossible to pass up. Amazon has slashed the price of the AirPods 4 to $119, a savings of $60, and by far the very best price we’ve seen for these buds. This discount is that much more impressive considering the previous “best price” was just under $150, so being able to get them for $30 under that is just crazy. How crazy? They’re actually cheaper than Apple’s regular price for the model without ANC! The AirPods 4 with ANC are absolutely fantastic, earning a 4.5-star rating when we reviewed them. We were utterly impressed with the overall audio quality and just how good noise canceling is, considering there are no silicone tips involved to create that seal. Our testing found the buds deliver not just good noiuse cancellation, but also great clarity and volume when talking, while the Conversation Awareness feature really is a star as it detects your voice and lowers the volume automatically to whatever you’re listening to. Battery life is also great, even when ANC is involved, delivering some 4 hours of listening time and another 20 hours when using the included charging case. With ANC off, you’ll get 5 hours of playtime and 30 in the case. The case can be charged wirelessly, so you can finally get one of those fancy 3-in-1 wireless chargers for your desk. Stop wasting time and get the AirPods 4 with ANC for $119 as there’s no way we’re getting a better price before maaaaybe Black Friday. Make sure to check out the other amazing Amazon Prime Day AirPods deals we dug up. Save $60 on the AirPods 4 with ANCBuy now at Amazon

Prime Day blowout sale drops AirTags down to $17 each–the lowest price ever
Macworld Prime Day is great for savings big bucks on iPads and AirPods, but it’s also a fantastic time to get Apple’s cheaper devices for even less. Like AirTags. Amazon is selling a four-pack of AirTags for $68, $31 off the usual $99 price and a mere $17 per tag, the lowest price we’ve ever seen. As small as these things are, they’re soooo useful to have on hand. You add one to your keychain, one to your luggage, one to your dog’s collar, and another to your laptop bag, and you’ll always know where everything is using your iPhone’s Find My app. They’re simple to set up and forget about until you need it. When we reviewed the AirTags, we gave these trackers a four-star rating and were impressed with the shockingly small design as well as the removable battery. But the best part is how well it can track stuff. If the AirTag is within Bluetooth range, the Find My app will quickly locate it, and even if you lose something thousands of miles across the globe, it will use the vast Find My network to reveal its location to you. So stop wasting time and grab a four-pack of AirTags for $68 this Prime Day. Don’t forget to also check out the best Prime Day deals we found on everything Apple sells.

Buying a new Mac? Here’s why you should switch from a MacBook to a desktop
Macworld With Prime Day savings offering gobs of money off some of the best Macs, now is a great time to buy a new Apple computer. One of the biggest decisions you’ll have to make when buying a new Mac is whether you should buy a desktop model or opt for a laptop instead. Apple’s laptops might seem like the best choice, with a combination of portability and price, but Apple also offers a great selection of desktops, from the teeny-tiny M4 Mac mini to the all-in-one iMac. So the next time you’re shopping for a new Mac, consider joining Team Desktop and opting for one of Apple’s less portable Macs instead of a MacBook. Stationary comfort Let’s face it, hunching over a MacBook for hours on end does your body no favors. You’ll typically use your laptop on an arm-level surface, whether that’s a desk or on your lap, and that means you’ve got to crane your head downwards to see its screen. Over time, that can cause serious pain in your back and neck. MacBooks are great when you’re traveling, but there’s nothing like a comfy desk chair and an eye-level monitor.Apple Believe me, I know. I used a laptop all through my college years, and by the end of it, I dreaded sitting down at my desk to work because of the pain that would inevitably accompany it. In the end, I had to ditch the device and get a desktop instead so that I could create a more ergonomic setup. That meant a monitor at eye level and a separate keyboard positioned just right. Sure, you can hook up a monitor to a MacBook or get a riser to avoid this ergonomic nightmare, but a lot of people don’t—either they don’t have a spare monitor, want a more compact workstation, or think it’s just too much cost and hassle to set up. With a desktop Mac, you have a far more comfortable arrangement, letting you dodge the backache and neck pain for good. Power trip Ever since Apple switched to its own Apple silicon chips, the Mac has come on leaps and bounds. But while both form factors offer plenty of grunt, desktop Macs have a lot more headroom for top performance. That’s because when portability isn’t a concern, Apple can use more spacious cases to eke out higher performance. A larger case means more space for effective cooling systems, and that in turn gives your Mac’s chip more breathing room. You can see that in desktop Macs like the Mac Studio, which comes with an M3 Ultra chip that would likely run too hot to sit comfortably in a tightly packed MacBook. And it’s also true of the M4, which can run at higher sustained speeds in the Mac mini due to its fans. And there’s another benefit of having a larger case: more ports. The MacBook Air and MacBook Pro only have two thin edges to fit ports, as well as less internal space for these components to go. On a desktop Mac, there’s more room to play with, and they typically come with a greater number and wider variety of expansion slots. Multiple displays will open your eyes to the beauty of a desktop setup.Apple Seeing is believing When you buy a MacBook, the display comes as part of the deal, up to 16 inches. But you get that too if you buy an iMac, but here, the included screen is far more expansive, stretching to 24 inches. That gives you a much more enjoyable workspace—and much less squinting to boot. And if you get a Mac mini, you can connect any display you want since the computer barely takes up any room. You could connect a MacBook to a large display, of course, but that means you’d need to buy a second monitor. And even if you did that, a MacBook plus a monitor takes up more space on your desk than an all-in-one package like the iMac. Apple’s all-in-one is a sleeker, more streamlined solution. And you’ll get a keyboard and a mouse too. Plug in and play Speaking of hooking up accessories, you already have, this is one great benefit of a desktop Mac. Devices like the Mac mini and Mac Studio can be connected to any monitor, mouse, and keyboard you like, giving you great flexibility in crafting your ideal setup. You don’t need to rely on what Apple deems to be the perfect keyboard and trackpad experience. You can play by your own rules. This works with a MacBook as well, but it doesn’t quite feel optimal. If you use a separate mouse and keyboard, you can’t just make the MacBook’s trackpad and keyboard disappear, meaning they needlessly take up space on your desk. And if you want to use the MacBook in clamshell mode to combat this issue, that’s more hassle to set up. None of that works quite as well as just using a desktop Mac. You can also easily hook up or dock and arrange things the way you want on your desk without needing to continuously plug and unplug your devices to create the ultimate workstation. It’s a small convenience we know, but it’s one that desktop Mac users wouldn’t give up for anything. Accessories will make your desktop personal and take your desktop Mac to the next level.Apple All-around value Because some desktop Macs, such as the Mac mini and Mac Studio, don’t come with a display, mouse, or keyboard, their asking prices start much lower. The Mac mini, for example, costs as little as $599, while the cheapest Apple laptop, meanwhile, is the MacBook Air, which will set you back almost twice as much. Granted, you might need to buy peripherals for the Mac mini, but if you already have them, you can take advantage of some great savings. The iMac, meanwhile, is more expensive at $1,299, but it also includes a 4.5K display, Magic Mouse or Trackpad, and a Magic Keyboard. It’s almost impossible to match that price with a MacBook Air and separate peripherals. The elephant in the room, of course, is the Mac Pro, and its base price of $6,999 is eye-wateringly expensive, especially for an M2 Ultra chip. But it’s the outlier in Apple’s lineup, where desktop Macs generally offer a more affordable way to access peak performance. Just look at the Mac Studio: its M4 Max model starts at $1,999. The M4 Max MacBook Pro? That’ll set you back at least $3,199. Never in the red Because Apple assumes you’ll be stationary when working on a desktop Mac (even if the Mac mini is small enough to be portable), it also assumes you don’t need a battery. Every desktop Mac, therefore, has a plug, which means you don’t need to worry about it running out of juice.  As well as that, you also don’t need to be concerned with degrading the battery of a desktop Mac. Batteries inevitably undergo wear and tear over many years of usage, and that eventually leads to MacBooks not lasting as long on a single charge as they used to. Got a desktop Mac instead? Then that’s never a concern.

David Price / Foundry Prime Day iPhone deals If you’re in the U.S., Amazon is not the place to go to buy a new iPhone 16 (though there are occasional deals on renewed models); however, in other countries, including the U.K., you will find the latest iPhones at Amazon at lower prices. Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 17 in September, so we expect big discounts on the iPhone 16 models as Amazon looks to clear out stock. iPhone 16e (128GB): £494 (£105 off, RRP £599) PRIME DAY DEAL iPhone 16e (512GB): £594 (£105 off, RRP £699) PRIME DAY DEAL iPhone 16e (512GB): £794 (£105 off, RRP £899) PRIME DAY DEAL iPhone 16 (128GB): £698 (£100 off, RRP £799) iPhone 16 (512GB): £999 (£100 off, RRP £1,099) iPhone 16 Plus (128GB): £799 (£100, RRP £899) iPhone 16 Plus (512GB): £1,099 (£100, RRP £1,199) iPhone 16 Pro (128GB): £898 (£100, RRP £999) iPhone 16 Pro (512GB): £1,198 (£100, RRP £1,299) iPhone 16 Pro Max (512GB): £1,298 (£100, RRP £1,399) iPhone 15 (128GB): £598 (£100 off, RRP £699) iPhone 15 Plus (128GB): £698 (£100 off, RRP £799) For more deals see our Best Amazon Prime Day iPhone deals.

Prime Day iPad deals Apple’s entire iPad lineup has been updated in the past 14 months, so we expect to see all models on sale with all-time-low savings. Just note, the cheapest iPad with an A16 processor doesn’t run Apple intelligence like the other models, so you’ll miss out on the upcoming new Siri features. But for under $300, it’s still a fantastic deal and look for at least $100 off the other models. To see if other resellers are offering better deals, take a look at our Best iPad deals roundup.

Apple Prime Day MacBook deals Apple has updated its entire MacBook lineup with the M4 processor, so we expect to see significant savings of up to $500, depending on the model and configuration. Of note, all models start with 16GB of RAM, and all M4 MacBook Air models are $100 cheaper than their M3 counterparts. There may be an M5 update launching later this year, but rumors suggest it will merely be a spec bump, so grab a deal while you can.

The products picked here are all chosen by our editors, who have decades of experience with Apple devices.

And don’t miss our first-ever live blog with running deals all day long! Best Apple Watch deals for Prime Day 2025 Apple is gearing up to launch the Apple Watch Series 11, SE 3, and Ultra 3 in September, but rumors suggest these new products won’t bring any must-have features. So the Series 10, Ultra 2, and SE 2 are excellent options, especially at discounted prices. Several Series 10 models are $100 off right now, and while we don’t know if Prime Day will bring even lower prices, that is as low as we’ve ever seen. Plus, all models will get an update to watchOS 26 in the fall with loads of smart new capabilities. Our main tip: avoid the cellular model unless you really need it. It costs more than the standard model and it isn’t necessary to have cellular capabilities on your Apple Watch.

Apple’s ‘F1’ tactics are a one-way ticket to disaster
Macworld Apple’s ongoing fight with regulators over App Store rules can get pretty confusing at times. Sometimes it’s hard to know whether regulators are being over-zealous in their required changes, or when Apple’s rules are simply patently unfair. But this week we have good news! At least one issue is a lot simpler because we now have the perfect example of why Apple’s anti-steering policy and the company’s subsequent ham-fisted efforts to… Wait, is it a mixed metaphor to say “hamstring” here or is it just chef’s kiss kind of perfect? Ham-fisted means the company is being rough and imprecise in its dealings, much as if it had honey-baked hams for hands. Hamstringing is when you cut someone’s knee tendons, known as the hamstrings, in order to impede them. So, Apple is clumsily attempting to impede developers. Verdict: not mixing metaphors. What was the Macalope saying? Oh, Apple’s ham-fisted efforts to hamstring developers’ using payment methods outside the App Store by throwing up warning messages is nothing but fear-mongering. And since it was brought to us by a small company you may not have heard of, let the Macalope just put on some novelty-sized glasses and pretend to be reading the name off a long, perforated sheet of green and white dot matrix printer paper as if he is a scientist in a ‘70s disaster film… Says “Apple”. Huh. If you’d like to receive regular news and updates to your inbox, sign up for our newsletters, including The Macalope and Apple Breakfast, David Price’s weekly, bite-sized roundup of all the latest Apple news and rumors.IDG That can’t be right. Ah, but it is. As MG Siegler first noted on Threads last week (tip o’ the antlers to Daring Fireball), Apple has been caught not practicing as it preached. And not mildly but in a more “televangelist who preaches against the perils of liquor not only gets caught drunk driving but is later found to own a craft bourbon distillery on the side” kind of way. As part of its “F1 – The Movie” marketing blitz, Apple put full-screen ads for buying tickets to the movie in the TV app on iOS 18. That’s gross enough coming on the heels of Apple basically putting notifications about the movie everywhere but, well, the Macalope was going to say Pages but honestly, he’s not sure the company didn’t put “F1” notifications in Pages. To make matters worse, however, clicking the link to buy tickets in the ad sent users to a purchase page in a way that is remarkably devoid of any of the kinds of warnings about buying things on the web that Apple is forcing developers to put in their apps when they do exactly the same thing. These are the requirements that Apple is currently appealing a 500 million Euro fine for inflicting on developers. The European Commission announced the fine in April under its Digital Markets Act, saying that the iPhone maker ran afoul of rules related to allowing developers to steer users to make purchases outside of its store.  If the EU’s lawyers have not taken note of Apple apparent nonchalance with the having of cake and also being able to eat it, they might want to jot down some notes. According to Apple: …the EC is mandating how we run our store and forcing business terms which are confusing for developers and bad for users. As opposed to the very non-confusing terms Apple is mandating, which require all kinds of warnings when being directed to purchase digital goods via a website but not needing any when doing the same for physical goods. Mmmkay. Also, it’s literally the job of the EC to tell companies how to run their businesses in its member nations. So, complaining about it mandating how you run your store is like complaining about a home plate umpire keeping track of balls and strikes. It is ironic that it is the company’s over-the-top push on “F1” that is tripping it up. Hey, we tried to tell Apple the “F1” promotions were over the top. It wouldn’t listen. Much like on the anti-steering policy.
