Add 8 ports to your Mac for just $36 with this Anker Black Friday discount Macworld
MacBooks give you plenty of ports in their slim and light frames, but you can always use a couple more for all those peripherals you have and the extra stuff you need to charge. So even if you’re not getting a new Mac this Black Friday, treat yourself to this 8-in-1 Anker USB-C hub for only $36 after its 35 percent discount. That’s just two bucks shy of its all-time low.
This hub has everything you could possibly need in one compact device. There are four USB-C ports and three USB-A, as well as an extra PD-IN USB-C on the very edge of the hub. The top USB-C port will deliver 15W charging, while the other three are limited to 7.5W, but that’s still plenty for keeping an iPhone, iPad, or AirPods juiced up.
When it comes to data, all seven ports can hit 5Gbps, so while you’re not getting Thunderbolt speeds, you shouldn’t have any issue moving files around, whatever type of flash drive or portable SSD you have on hand. Plus, you can keep your laptop charging thanks to the PD-In port. It hooks up to your Mac via USB-C, but one of the coolest things is the built-in 2-in-1 connector that switches to a regular Type-A port if you need to quickly connect it to a PC or M2 Mac mini.
What it boils down to is that this is a fantastic discount for a super useful hub, so grab one of these Anker hubs for $36 while it’s still on sale.

Best iPhone 16 deals in the U.S. Get the iPhone 16, 16e, 16 Plus, 16 Pro & Pro for less Macworld
Once you know which iPhone you want to buy, the next step is to find the best deal on your new iPhone. Don’t spend more than you have to, let us do the hard work so that you can find the best iPhone offer and save money. (If you aren’t sure which new iPhone to buy, we compare every iPhone in a separate article.)
First things first: You don’t have to buy the iPhone 16, 16e, 16 Plus, Pro, or Pro Max directly from Apple, all the major carriers will offer you one on contract. The biggest benefit of not buying from Apple is that you can take advantage of special promotions, deals and discounts offered by popular retailers and carriers.
Before you buy a new iPhone, note that the new iPhone 17 series is expected to launch in September. If you want the latest and greatest iPhone that is a good reason to hold off buying an iPhone right now. But, if you were wanting to trade-in or sell your existing iPhone the best time to do so will be before the new model launches, as the price you will get for trading in your existing iPhone will reduce once the new one goes on sale.
Here’s a summary of some of the best deals and promotions offered by retailers and carriers in the U.S. to help you get the best deal on your new iPhone. If you’re looking for other models, check out our Best iPhone deals.
Best iPhone Deals Available Now!
Black Friday is here, and we are some good deals on new iPhones. If you buy from Apple you can get a gift card with your purchase of an iPhone 16, 16 Plus, or iPhone 16e.

How much is the iPhone 16?
The price of an iPhone in the U.S. depends on whether or not it is unlocked.
In the U.S. Apple quotes the price for iPhones that are locked to a network, e.g. AT&T. Note that Apple reduced the price and capacities on offer for the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus when the iPhone 17 was introduced.
The prices are as follows:
iPhone 16e prices: 128GB: $599 / 256GB: $699 / 512GB: $899
iPhone 16 prices: 128GB: $699
iPhone 16 Plus price: 128GB: $799 / 256GB: $899
You can buy an unlocked iPhone from Apple U.S. though. If you choose an unlocked iPhone it will be easy to change your contract, or pass it on to a friend or relative when you want to upgrade. An unlocked iPhone costs $30 more than the price shown above.
If you want to find out how to unlock your iPhone so you can use it with another network read: How to unlock an iPhone.
The price of the iPhone 16 is the same as the iPhone 15 series was. The iPhone 16e price matches the price point of the iPhone 14 at the time Apple discontinued it.
Best Phone 16 carriers and contract deals
In the U.S., carriers offer deals and discounts on the iPhone 16 range.
If you want to buy the latest iPhone for less than the full retail price, you should buy it from a carrier or mobile provider. However, expect there to be significant strings attached. These deals can be complicated, so be sure to read the fine print.
You can also purchase directly from Apple with activation on a carrier and still get special carrier deals, but you may have more options if you buy from one of the carriers below.
Optimum Mobile – New and existing Optimum Mobile customers on any plan can get the iPhone 16e 128 GB for free with a select trade-in; or they can get $400 off any iPhone 16e with any trade-in.

Apple’s A16 iPad is a Black Friday steal at just $274 Macworld
Apple’s A16 iPad is a great deal when it drops to $300, but Amazon’s Black Friday sale is a downright steal: You can get the A16 iPad with 128GB of storage for just $274—an impressive $75 savings and the best price we’ve seen yet.
It might be missing the perks you get with the Air and Pro, but the A16 iPad is an excellent tablet. It features a stunning 11-inch display and a sleek design available in four colors we absolutely love: silver, yellow, blue, and pink. Pair it with a USB-C Apple Pencil for just $49 ($30 off), and you’ve got a full-featured tablet.
In our 4-star review, we loved the battery life, speedy processor, and 128GB of storage space, and noted that this tablet has everything you could need for your everyday needs. Well, almost everything. The A16 iPad is Apple’s only tablet that doesn’t support Apple Intelligence, but we don’t think you’ll really miss it.
So if you’re looking for a new iPad, go grab this deal on the A16 iPad and save $75 for the first time ever. But hurry up because this deal won’t last forever.

Apple Releases 2025 Holiday Season TV Ad: 'A Critter Carol' Apple today shared its annual holiday season ad, titled A Critter Carol, as well as a behind-the-scenes video showing how it was made.
In the short film, a group of woodland animals use a lost iPhone 17 Pro to film themselves singing about the gift of friendship. Later, the owner of the iPhone finds it by using the Find My app's Precision Finding feature on his Apple Watch.
The behind-the-scenes video shows how the ad was handcrafted by puppeteers. The ad itself was shot on the iPhone 17 Pro, according to Apple.

Watch Apple’s new musical holiday ad ‘A Critter Carol’, featuring iPhone 17 Pro Apple has launched its new holiday ad A Critter Carol, which features a misplaced iPhone 17 Pro being used by woodland critters to record themselves singing a Christmas carol.
Apple simultaneously released a making of video that shows how the company also used iPhones in the making of the film, as well as how all the hand-crafted puppetry was animated and brought to life.

Review: SwitchBot Wallet Finder is an incredibly useful accessory to track your wallet with iPhone Find My [60% off for Black Friday] I have an AirTag on my keychain to keep track of my keys, but obviously an AirTag is too big and bulky to fit inside a wallet. That’s what the SwitchBot Wallet Finder is for, currently discounted to just $9.99 for Black Friday, a rare 60% discount.
Disguised inside a thin, credit-card form factor, the SwitchBot Wallet Finder connects to the Find My app on your iPhone, so you can follow its location, and it even houses a speaker so you can make it beep to help you find your wallet when it inevitably gets lost somewhere in your home. Read on for my review …

iPhone Air is such a flop even copycat products are reportedly being canceled Macworld
Apple had high hopes when it unveiled the iPhone Air back in September. But sales of the ultra-thin smartphone have been so underwhelming that it’s even affecting the launch plans of other companies.
According to industry sources cited by Sina Finance and Jiemian.com (themselves cited by DigiTimes), multiple major Chinese smartphone manufacturers have “frozen or canceled their own ‘Air’ ultra-thin phone projects” in response to the iPhone Air’s reportedly disappointing sales. The list of firms affected includes Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo. Xiaomi in particular was believed to be planning an iPhone Air copycat, but has reportedly canned the project.
A Cupertino apologist could at a push spin this as good news for Apple, which will at least benefit from a lack of competition. But this really serves as further confirmation that the iPhone Air was a misstep. Failure always seemed likely, given Samsung’s struggles with the Galaxy S25 Edge in the summer, but by that point the Air’s development must have been too far along to abort. In any case Apple tends to view failure by other companies as an opportunity rather than a warning sign.
The iPhone Air, like the original iPhone all those years ago, wasn’t the first ultrathin phone to enter its market, but it hoped to be the first to fix the market’s problems. We were told that the Air couldn’t be bent; that its single rear camera lens was actually a “two-in-one camera system;” that its battery life was surprisingly good. But there were still inevitably compromises, and customers appear to prefer the familiar comforts of the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro.
In the months since launch there have been isolated reports that the Air isn’t doing so badly after all, and one reader emailed me recently to praise the Air and to point out that revenue from carrier purchases may be delayed. But while Apple hasn’t yet announced any official sales figures (and won’t ever announce numbers for the Air alone, instead rolling them in with overall iPhone revenue) it’s becoming difficult to ignore the weight of evidence pointing towards failure.
On the production side we’ve heard that Apple has “drastically” cut back its orders; on the customer side there have been reports of “virtually no consumer demand.” And whether or not we choose to believe these reports, it’s striking that the market, driven solely by profit, is now turning away from the Air’s path.

Apple TV Pulls 'The Hunt' Show Over Plagiarism Claims Apple TV has pulled its upcoming French thriller series "The Hunt" just days before its scheduled December 3 debut, after allegations emerged that the show plagiarized a 1973 novel and its film adaptation.
Production company Gaumont confirmed the postponement in a statement, saying it is "conducting a thorough review to address any questions related to our production." The company added that it takes "intellectual property matters very seriously."
Creator and director Cédric Anger is accused of copying the plot from late author Douglas Fairbairn's novel "Shoot" and the 1976 film of the same name. French media journalist Clément Garin was first to make the allegations, according to Variety.
The similarities between the two stories look fairly substantial. Both narratives follow a group of hunters who encounter rival hunters in the wilderness, leading to violent consequences. In each story, one hunter is shot and the attacker is killed in retaliation. The survivors then return home while keeping the incident secret, but they soon grow paranoid about the potential for revenge.
"The Hunt" was set to premiere with two episodes on December 3, followed by weekly releases through December 31, but Apple has since removed all promotional materials for the series from its website. Apple has yet to comment on the controversy.
It's the second time this year Apple TV has pulled a completed series at the last minute. Jessica Chastain's "The Savant" was postponed days before its September premiere and still has no release date.Tag: Apple TV ShowsThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

How we pick the best Apple deals
At Macworld we’ve been covering and reviewing Apple and Apple devices for more than 40 years, from the original Macintosh to the most recent M5 MacBook Pro and iPhone 17 lineup. We use Apple products every day and purchase them with our own money, so we know a good deal when we see one.
More importantly, we also know how to spot a bad deal. With a working knowledge of everything Apple sells and decades of experience, we know when stores are inflating prices or pushing “normal” sales as limited Black Friday deals, so the listings you see here will only be for discounts that are at or near all-time low prices.
Black Friday MacBook Air and MacBook Pro deals
Apple released the new M5 MacBook Pro in October, but still sells M4 Pro and M4 Max models as well as the M4 MacBook Air. The new M5 model is mostly a chip refresh, but it’s a great one, as we wrote in our 4.5-star review, and right now you can get $200 off all the 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro at Amazon, taking it to the lowest price we have seen.
However, even though the new model brings a major boost in GPU and SSD performance, we also loved the M4 model, and you can get an amazing $300 off the M4 MacBook Pro at Amazon.
There are also some excellent deals on the even more powerful MacBook Pro M4 Pro and M4 Max, which are full on workstations now at amazingly low prices, such as $300 off the 14-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro at Amazon, and a whopping $500 off the 16-inch M4 Max MacBook Pro, also at Amazon. You can find more deals below.
And, of course, the MacBook Air is a fantastic option for just about anyone, earning an extremely rare 5-star score in our testing. You can get $250 off the MacBook Air at Amazon.
U.K. shoppers don’t miss out either, with £184 off a 13-inch MacBook Air at Amazon. £200 off the M5 MacBook Pro at KRCS, and £349 off the M4 Pro MacBook Pro at Amazon. See even more great deals below.

Black Friday iMac and Mac mini deals
The iMac and Mac mini received an M4 update in October 2024, with the Mac mini also getting a dramatic redesign that shrunk the case down to just 5 inches. We loved the new Mac mini design and M4 chip and there is $120 off at Amazon. The Mac mini M4 Pro version is a great low-cost way to get a really powerful Mac, and with $200 off it’s a superb saving. We don’t know when they will be getting M5 chips, but if they are, they won’t arrive until 2026, so we recommend picking up one of these deals if you’re looking for a Mac desktop.
U.K. users should take advantage of £100 off the Mac mini, and £130 off the Mac mini pro.

Black Friday AirPods deals
Apple released the AirPods Pro 3 in September 2025, with a slightly new design, foam-infused eartips, and a heart-rate sensor. We gave them a near-perfect score in our review, but also noted that it’s a relatively small upgrade over the AirPods Pro 2, which has the same H2 chip and many similar features. The new model has the same $249 MSRP in the U.S. and a slightly lower £219 RRP in the U.K. (AirPods Pro 2 were £229), so keep that in mind when shopping. We don’t expect to see AirPods Pro 3 with more than $30-$50 off, but the older AirPods Pro 2 have dipped as low as $139 at Walmart. That’s a hard deal to pass up.
The AirPods 4 have been out for over a year, but are still a fantastic pair of earbuds. The Black Friday deals of $69 for AirPods 4 and $100 AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation are simply mind-blowing. If you need a pair, grab one, just beware that those deals can sell out quickly, but do keep checking because stock seems to come and go. See more U.S. AirPods deals below.
The good news for U.K. readers is that the AirPods Pro 2 are back in stock at Amazon, and back to the £169 price we saw earlier in November. Right now you can also get £20 off the AirPods 4, bringing the price under £100. See more U.K. AirPods deals below.

Black Friday Apple Watch deals
Mike Sawh
Apple launched the Apple Watch Series 11 in September, but there aren’t many exclusive new features beyond better battery life and 5G networking. The two new health features, hypertension alerts and Sleep Score, are also available on the Series 10, and there isn’t a new color this year. As we noted in our review, we don’t think Series 9 or 10 users need to upgrade. We are seeing savings of $60 on the Series 11, which is a great price for such a full-featured watch, but with $150 off the Series 10 you might want to consider that, you won’t miss out on much (See our comparison of every Apple Watch).
The sleeper hit of the new Apple Watch lineup is the SE 3, which got the biggest update of all three models, gaining an always-on display, temperature sensor, a faster chip, on-device Siri, and fast charging. We gave it a near-perfect score of 4.5 stars and highly recommend it at full price—for $50 off, it’s a no-brainer decision.
At the high end, the Ultra 3 has a slightly larger screen, satellite connectivity, and longer battery life compared to last year’s model. We’re looking for at least $50 off, but if you want one, we’d recommend this $599 deal on the Ultra 2 instead.

U.K.
In the U.K. the deals are small on the newest Apple Watch models, but we anticipate that they will improve once Black Friday is here. And if they don’t our advice would be to snap up Apple’s offer, which will get you a £40 gift card.
The biggest deals on offer right now are on the older models. We’d recommend Argos’s £200 off the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Curry’s £130 off the Apple Watch Series 10. Just keep in mind that in the U.K., Apple cut the Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra 3 prices by £30 and £50 compared to the previous generation when they were introduced. Keep this in mind when shopping, because some stores might make savings appear to be larger than they actually are.

Black Friday iPad deals
Apple updated the iPad Air with an M3 chip and the iPad Pro with an M5 chip this year. Neither update brings any huge reason to upgrade, but they’re both excellent tablets. It comes down to preference and budget—if you’re largely using your tablet for consumption (streaming, surfing, games), get an Air, for which we are seeing prices cut by $150, but if you have real work to do on it, get the Pro: you can get $100 off the M5 iPad Pro in the U.S. which is a great deal on such a new device.
The mini hasn’t had a meaningful update in a couple of generations. But as we noted in our review, it’s still the best tablet for its size and a great option for anyone who values ultra portability over screen size. There’s a decent $100 off.
Finally, the standard entry-level iPad is the bare-bones option in Apple’s lineup, but it still has a great screen, a capable processor, and great battery life. It’s great for kids and an absolute steal at its Black Friday price of $279.

We’re seeing a great £100 saving on the iPad Air, but the deals on the other iPads in the U.K. aren’t as big as they are in the U.S. The M5 iPad Pro only has a small saving, so right now we are looking at the older models to get a better discount. With that in mind, we’d recommend the M4 iPad Pro if you can find one (it’s £206 off at Amazon, but selling out fast).

Black Friday iPhone deals
David Price / Foundry
Most iPhone deals in the U.S. are through carriers and require a trade-in or adding a new line. Carriers will likely have enticing deals with trade-ins as well, but be wary of long-term contracts and terms. One opportunity worth considering is Apple’s Black Friday deal: You can buy an iPhone from Apple and get a gift voucher:
Apple, $75 gift voucher with iPhone 16 or 16 Plus
Apple, $50 gift voucher with iPhone 16e
In the U.K. there are less limitations on the sale of iPhones so you will be able to pick one up unlocked at a discount if you would prefer to buy an iPhone up front, rather than on a contract.
Apple only launched the iPhone 17 lineup in September, so it’s a surprise that we are seeing discounts on the iPhone Air, albeit small. The biggest discount available is on the iPhone 16e, which has £100 off at Amazon: a good saving. Also be on the look out for deals (like this one from AO) on the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max which are no longer sold by Apple but would offer a good option to those who appreciate the extra camera on the Pro iPhone models but can’t stretch to the iPhone 17 Pro.
We’d suggest that when it comes to the other deals you should weigh them up against Apple’s own giveaway, where you could get £60 or £40 vouchers with the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, or iPhone 16e, respectively. For example, £100 off an iPhone 16e is better than Apple’s £40 voucher, but AO’s £55 off iPhone 16 (128GB) doesn’t match Apple’s £60 voucher deal so it would be worth waiting to see it that goes lower.
These are the best deals we’ve seen so far:
Amazon, iPhone Air (256GB): £969 (£30 off, RRP £999)
Amazon, iPhone 16e (128GB): £499 (£100 off, RRP £599)
Amazon, iPhone 16e (256GB): £599 (£100 off, RRP £699)
Amazon, iPhone 16e (512GB): £799 (£100 off, RRP £899)
AO, iPhone 16 Pro (128GB): £899 (£100 off, RRP was £999)
Apple, £60 gift voucher with iPhone 16 or 16 Plus
Apple, £40 gift voucher with iPhone 16e
Black Friday Apple accessories deals
There are lots more Apple products you can buy to go with your new Mac, iPhone, or iPad. Whether it’s a mouse and keyboard for your Mac, an Apple Pencil or keyboard cover to go with your iPad, charging cables and adapters, we are keeping track of everything so you can grab a discount this Black Friday.
It’s a great time to grab a pack of AirTags, with prices dropping to $65 or $74 for a pack of four of Apple’s tracking devices. And we are seeing some nice price cuts on Apple Pencils (just make sure they work with your iPad first). The Apple Pencil Pro ($34 / $20 off) is the newest model and is compatible with the iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPad mini.

$25/£20 Apple Gift Card: AirPods 4, AirPods 4 (ANC), Apple TV 4K, Apple Pencil Pro, Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro, Magic Keyboard for iPad Air, Magic Keyboard Folio for iPad, Beats Pill

Black Friday is the biggest shopping event of the year and it can be a great time to get a good deal on a new iPhone, iPhone accessories, or other Apple gear. We are already seeing savings on iPhones at Amazon in the U.K., including money off the iPhone Air and iPhone 16e, Apple is giving away up to $75/£60 gift cards with iPhone purchases, and in the U.S. the networks are offering some Black Friday deals for those wishing to upgrade their iPhone.

Also check our Best Picks round ups where you can see reviews of all the products we rate as a good purchase. And for help deciding which iPhone to buy take a look at our iPhone Buying Guide and iPhone Comparison chart.
How we choose these iPhone deals
We track prices at major U.S. and U.K. retailers and carriers and feature the best deals on current models (no old iPhones) that at least match Apple’s own Black Friday offer (up to $75/£60 gift card with the iPhone 16, or $50/£40 with iPhone 16e).
We only feature deals from trusted retailers and carriers, and ensure we read the fine print so there aren’t any tricks.
The deals are reviewed often to make sure they are still available, with expired or sold-out models annotated or removed.
Best U.S. iPhone deals for Black Friday 2025
These are Apple’s iPhone offers for Black Friday:
$75 gift card with iPhone 16 or 16 Plus
$50 gift card with iPhone 16e
Best U.S. iPhone carrier deals for Black Friday 2025
In the U.S., most of the deals come from carriers and carry a bunch of strings—trade-in requirements, new lines, and discounts offered as bill credits over two or three years:
AT&T: You can get up to $1,100 off the iPhone 17 Pro when you trade in an eligible iPhone. The savings transform into monthly credits on your bill for the next 36 months.
T-Mobile: The carrier offers the iPhone 17 or iPhone 17 Pro or iPhone Air for free if you either switch to T-Mobile or trade in a qualifying phone, as long as you’re on a qualifying Experience Beyond plan. The phone is paid through 24 monthly bill credits.
Verizon: Get an iPhone 17 or iPhone 17 Pro free with trade in and certain Unlimited plans. This phone is paid through 36 monthly bill credits.
U.S. Cellular: Up to $1,100 off iPhone 17 Pro (or any other iPhone) with a new line and qualifying plan. This phone is paid through 36 monthly bill credits.
Xfinity Mobile: If you trade in a qualifying phone you can get up to $1,100 off a new iPhone 17 series model until Dec. 2. Paid as 24 monthly bill credits with a 24-month contract.
Boost Mobile: You can get $850 off the price of the iPhone 17 with Boost’s $65 per month plan.
Best U.K. iPhone deals for Black Friday 2025
These are Apple’s iPhone deals for Black Friday:
£60 gift card with iPhone 16 or 16 Plus
£40 gift card with iPhone 16e
In the U.K., there are fewer limitations on the sale of iPhones, so you will be able to pick one up unlocked at a discount if you would prefer to buy an iPhone up front, rather than on a contract.
As long as you don’t mind the fact that this iPhone only has one rear camera, we recommend the £100 off iPhone 16e deal at Amazon, in particular the £599 deal on the 256GB model. The newest iPhone to get a cut-price deal is the iPhone Air, which has £30 off.
Also be on the look out for deals (like this one from AO) on the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max which are no longer sold by Apple but would offer a good option to those who appreciate the extra camera on the Pro iPhone models but can’t stretch to the iPhone 17 Pro.
Amazon, iPhone Air (256GB): £969 (£30 off, RRP £999)
Amazon, iPhone 16e (128GB): £499 (£100 off, RRP £599)
Amazon, iPhone 16e (256GB): £599 (£100 off, RRP £699)
Amazon, iPhone 16e (512GB): £799 (£100 off, RRP £899)
AO, iPhone 16 (128GB): £644 (£55 off, RRP £699)
AO, iPhone 16 Pro (128GB): £899 (£100 off, RRP was £999)
Apple, £60 gift voucher with iPhone 16 or 16 Plus
Apple, £40 gift voucher with iPhone 16e
We’d suggest that when it comes to the other deals you should weigh them up against Apple’s own giveaway, where you could get £60 or £40 vouchers with the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, or iPhone 16e, respectively. For example, £100 off an iPhone 16e is better than Apple’s £40 voucher, but AO’s £55 off iPhone 16 (128GB) doesn’t match Apple’s £60 voucher deal so it would be worth waiting to see it that goes lower.
How to get the best iPhone deals for Black Friday 2025: Our Advice
Apple is offering a $75/£60 gift card with the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, and $50/£40 with the iPhone 16e, you should make sure that any offers you see beat those prices.
Black Friday can be a good time to get a deal on an older iPhone, such as the iPhone 16 Pro or Pro Max which are now discontinued. These will be worth grabbing if you see them at a good price.
iPhone 17: Apple only launched the iPhone 17 lineup in September so we don’t expect to see big discounts, other than the typical “free iPhone as bill credits over several years with a qualifying plan” deals that are always on offer in the U.S.
iPhone 16: Shoppers should look out for discounts on the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, but note that Apple has already cut prices by $100/£100. Also note that Apple no longer sells the 512GB versions of these handsets, so if you find those models on sale at a good price we recommend buying them. Similarly, if you see the now discontinued, iPhone 16 Pro or Pro Max on sale at a good price then these would be a good purchase.
iPhone 16e: The price of the iPhone 16e will likely drop. This is Apple’s ‘budget’ handset so it already has a low price though so don’t expect huge additional savings.
We don’t recommend any iPhones older than the ones above, especially not the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus which are not Apple Intelligence compatible.
iPhone earphones deals for Black Friday 2025
Many of the best deals are going to be on iPhone accessories—cases, chargers, cables, and the like. There are way too many such products to keep track of, and many small discounts come and go throughout the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale. We highlight only the most interesting bargains; products that are rarely discounted or exceptionally good prices on accessories we recommend.

Does Apple discount iPhones for Black Friday?
Rather than discount its products, every year Apple holds a shopping event from Black Friday to Cyber Monday. Apple’s Black Friday ‘deal’ takes the form of gift card offers, rather than actual savings. This year, you can get an iPhone 16 or 16 Plus with a gift card worth $75/£60, or an iPhone 16e with a gift card worth $50/£40.
The deals over the past few years show that Apple’s offer this year is right in line with the offers from previous years.
We recommend the deal, especially in the U.S. where iPhones don’t tend to get price cuts. For U.K. readers the Apple voucher prices are a good indication as to how much money off an iPhone would be considered a good deal.

Want a list of all the best Apple deals? Check out our round-up of the Best Black Friday Apple deals. Also check our Best Picks round ups where you can see reviews of all the products we rate as a good purchase. And if you aren’t sure which iPad to buy read our Best iPad buying guide.
How we pick the best iPad deals
Macworld knows iPads. Our editors have used and reviewed every major iPad release and nearly every generation over the past 15 years, and have a working knowledge of all models, features, and specs. We buy iPads ourselves and track price drops all throughout the year, so we can tell the difference between a legitimate Black Friday deal and one that’s disguised to look good. We have a working knowledge of each model’s all-time low and make our recommendations accordingly.
Best Black Friday 2025 iPad deals
Black Friday Week is here, and by now it probably feels like the deals have been running all month as Amazon, Best Buy, and other retailers in the U.S., U.K., and elsewhere have been slashing prices. As the sale really ramps up for the Black Friday weekend, the best deals are surfacing. But you’ll have to be quick because the sale will be over after Cyber Monday on December 1.
In the U.S. all of Apple’s iPads are at or below their all-time low, including the new M5 iPad Pro, which launched in October has already received its first-ever discount: a massive $100 off. We gave it a five star review as it is undoubtedly the best tablet on the market, but if you own an iPad Pro M4, or are looking at a deal on one, we suggest that it’s not a huge update from the older model so deals on the older model are worth considering.
There is also a a decent $100 off the iPad Air. Of note, the 128GB A16 iPad is $5 below its previous all-time low price with a $75 saving.
U.S.
Amazon, 11-inch M5 iPad Pro (256GB): $899 ($100 off, MSRP $999)
Amazon, 13-inch M5 iPad Pro (256GB): $1,199 ($100 off, MSRP $1,299)
Amazon, iPad (A16, 128GB): $274 ($75 off, MSRP $349)
Amazon, iPad mini (A17 Pro, 128GB): $399 ($100 off, MSRP $499)
Amazon, 11-inch M3 iPad Air (128GB): $449 ($150 off, MSRP $599)
Amazon, 13-inch M3 iPad Air (128GB): $649 ($150 off, MSRP $799)
Apple, $100 gift card with iPad Air
Apple, $50 gift card with iPad and iPad mini
Amazon, 11-inch M4 iPad Pro (512GB): $1,049 ($150 off with coupon, MSRP $1,199)
Amazon, 13-inch M4 iPad Pro (256GB): $1,199 ($150 off with coupon, MSRP $1,299)
U.K.
In the U.K. we’re seeing a £100 saving on the iPad Air, which is an excellent deal, but the deals on the other iPads in the U.K. aren’t as big as they are in the U.S (yet). The M5 iPad Pro only has a small saving, so right now we are looking at the older models to get a better discount. With that in mind, we’d recommend the M4 iPad Pro if you can find one (it’s £206 off at Amazon, but selling out fast).
Amazon, 11-inch M5 iPad Pro (128GB): £944 (£55 off, RRP £999)
KRCS, 13-inch M5 iPad Pro (128GB): £1,273 (£26 off, RRP £1,299)

How to get the best iPad deals for Black Friday 2025: Our Advice
Britta O’Boyle
If you’re not sure which model is right for you, read our in-depth iPad buying guide. Here’s a quick overview of Apple’s lineup:
iPad: Apple updated its cheapest iPad in 2025 with an A16 chip and twice the storage (128GB) of the previous model. At $349, it’s already a fantastic value, but the Black Friday $274 price puts it in impulse-buy territory.
iPad mini: The iPad mini was updated in October 2024 with an A17 Pro processor, 8GB of RAM, and twice the storage (128GB). It regularly drops to $399, which is what we’re seeing for Black Friday as well.
iPad Air: Apple updated the iPad Air with an M3 processor in 2024, but left it otherwise unchanged. It still comes in two sizes, 11 inches and 13 inches, and has the same gorgeous design. We saw price cuts as high as $150 off for Prime Day, and the Black Friday sales we’ve tracked so far match that.
iPad Pro: The iPad Pro was updated in October with an M5 processor, but nothing else has changed. So we recommend looking for significant savings on the M4 model (and we are spotlighting them above when they appear).

Does Apple discount iPads for Black Friday?
Every year, Apple holds a shopping event from Black Friday to Cyber Monday. However, Apple rarely discounts its products and the event consists of gift card offers rather than actual savings.
The Apple Black Friday shopping event for 2025 has been announced, and the iPad Air, iPad mini, and standard iPad are all included. It’s no real surprise that the M5 iPad Pro is excluded, as it was just released in October. You can get a gift card for $100/£80 with the Air and $50/£40 with the other iPads.

It’s not a bad deal if you want to buy more than one Apple product, as you can use your voucher to make a second purchase, or credit it to your account and pay for all your subscriptions for a few months. If you are looking for bigger deals though you will need to look elsewhere.

Plex paywall for remote streaming now being enforced The Plex personal media server had long allowed remote streaming for free users. The company announced back in March that this would in future require a paid Plex Pass subscription, which was set to come into effect from the end of April.
The company initially hadn’t appeared to enforce the new rule, but it appears that it is now starting to do so, with the Roku app first in the firing line …

Black Friday Deal of the Year: Get $40 off all refurbished Apple products at Back Market Macworld
Black Friday is here—and there’s never been a better time to score premium tech without the premium price tag. Back Market, the world’s largest marketplace dedicated exclusively to high-quality refurbished electronics, is offering $40 off all refurbished Apple products during its Black Friday event. Whether you’re eyeing an iPhone upgrade, a powerful new MacBook, or an iPad for work or school, this year’s biggest Apple deal is live and ready.
From now through December 2, 2025, shoppers can use the code APPLGIFT to take $40 off any Apple order of $400 or more. That means even more savings on already discounted refurbished iPhones, iPads, MacBooks and more—just in time for holiday shopping or a personal tech refresh.
$40 off all refurbished iPhones
$40 off all refurbished iPads
$40 off all refurbished MacBooks
What refurbished really means
For anyone unfamiliar with refurbished tech, here’s the real story: a refurbished device is not the same as used. Each product sold on Back Market is professionally inspected, tested, repaired, cleaned, and restored to full functionality. It’s a lot like buying a certified pre-owned car—without paying for the rapid depreciation that happens the moment a brand-new item leaves the box.
For everyday use—from streaming and gaming to work, school, photography, and more—refurbished often delivers the best balance of performance and price. Better yet, it’s a choice that supports sustainability by keeping devices in circulation and fighting electronic waste.
Why refurbished tech is surging
This Black Friday, shoppers aren’t just hunting for bargains—they’re choosing smarter, more sustainable ways to buy technology. Across markets, the demand for refurbished devices is surging as consumers look for value, durability, and products that align with real-life needs. The trend is clear: people want the power and performance of premium brands like Apple, but without the financial strain or environmental cost of buying new.
Searches for Apple products are exploding ahead of the holidays. Generic iPhone searches are up more than 60% month over month, with strong growth in traffic for MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro models. Mid-generation iPhones—including iPhone 13, iPhone XR, and iPhone SE—are leading the way in conversion rates, proving that buyers are seeking performance they can count on without the steep price tags of new releases.

Every device on Back Market is backed by the Back Market Promise, giving customers peace of mind and product reliability. Founded more than a decade ago, Back Market’s mission is to make refurbished tech the mainstream choice and to push back against “fast tech”—the cycle of constant overproduction and overconsumption.
At Back Market, the goal is simple: Let’s end fast tech.

The annual Black Friday extravaganza is always a fantastic time to buy an Apple Watch, with big savings from a wide variety of retailers. Technically, it lasts just four days, from Black Friday (November 28) to Cyber Monday (December 1), but we have been seeing some great deals on Apple Watches throughout November and they are really ramping up now.
In this article, we will share all the best Apple Watch deals for Black Friday 2025. We have tools that we can use to check the prices everywhere, so we always know who has the best price and can share them here. We also share our advice about how to get the best deal on an Apple Watch, what to look out for, and what to avoid.
If you want to know what other Apple products are discounted, check out our round up of the Best Black Friday 2025 Apple deals. Also check our Best Picks round ups where you can see reviews of all the products we rate as a good purchase. And if you aren’t sure which watch to buy, read our comparison of every Apple Watch.
How we pick the best Apple Watch deals
We’ve tested every Apple Watch model that Apple has ever sold, and wear them in our daily lives. We regularly check Apple Watch prices from all the retailers and have an extensive historical knowledge of historical prices and all-time lows. Therefore we know when we find a really good deal on a really good product, and we will share it here.
Right now our team is checking prices across Amazon and other major retailers several times a day and highlighting the verified low prices at the time of our latest update. We also evaluate deal prices against the current MSRP/RRP for each model and spot any discrepancies that might be missed when looking at the price of older models to help our readers avoid scams.
When it comes to deciding what actually constitutes a good deal, we would look for roughly $50 to $70 off the current models for U.S. buyers, while in the U.K., we rarely find more than £30 off.
Best Apple Watch deals for Black Friday 2025
Want to get a bargain on a new Apple Watch? These are the best deals we’ve seen so far. Check out our advice below this section for tips on what to look out for.
U.S.
You can save $60 on the new Apple Watch Series 11 at Amazon, but there is also $150 off the older model, which isn’t all that different (the two new health features, hypertension alerts and Sleep Score, are also available on the Series 10), so definitely worth your attention.
We gave the Apple Watch SE 3 a near-perfect score of 4.5 stars and highly recommend it at full price—for $50 off, it’s a no-brainer decision. There’s only $20 off the Ultra 3, so it’s probably worth waiting a little longer on that one to see if prices drop again.
Amazon, Apple Watch Series 11 (42mm): $339 ($60 off, MSRP $399)
Amazon, Apple Watch Series 11 (46mm): $369 ($60 off, MSRP $429)
Amazon, Apple Watch SE 3 (40mm): $199 ($50 off, MSRP $249)
Amazon, Apple Watch SE 3 (44mm): $229 ($50 off, MSRP $279)
Amazon, Apple Watch Ultra 3: $780 ($20 off, MSRP $799)
Walmart, Apple Watch Series 10 (42mm): $249 ($150 off, was $399 – clearance)
Walmart, Apple Watch Series 10 (46mm): $279 ($150 off, was $429 – clearance)
Apple, $50 gift card with Apple Watch SE 3 and Series 11
U.K.
In the U.K. the deals are small on the newest Apple Watch models, but we anticipate that they will improve once Black Friday is here. And if they don’t our advice would be to snap up Apple’s Black Friday offer, which will get you a £40 gift card.
The biggest deals on offer right now are on the older models. We’d recommend Argos’s £200 off the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Curry’s £130 off the Apple Watch Series 10. Just keep in mind that in the U.K., Apple cut the Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra 3 prices by £30 and £50 compared to the previous generation when they were introduced. Keep this in mind when shopping, because some stores might make savings appear to be larger than they actually are.
Amazon, Apple Watch Ultra 3: £719 (£30 off, RRP £749)
KRCS, Apple Watch SE 3 (40mm): £215 (£4 off, RRP £219)
Amazon, Apple Watch SE 3 (44mm): £239 (£10 off, RRP £249)
Argos, Apple Watch Ultra 2: £599 (£200 off, RRP was £799, Ultra 3 is £749 – clearance)
Currys, Apple Watch Series 10 (42mm): £279 (£120 off, was £399, Series 11 is £369 – clearance)
Currys, Apple Watch Series 10 (46mm): £299 (£130 off, was £429, Series 11 is £399 – clearance)

How to get the best Apple Watch deals for Black Friday 2025: Our advice
Like always, Apple sells three watches, but for the first time in years, all three models were updated this year.
Apple Watch Series 11: The standard Apple Watch Series 11 starts at the same price as previous watches ($399/£369) and is largely the same as the Series 10. The main upgrade is better battery life (24 hours vs 18 hours), 5G connectivity (on cellular models), and better scratch resistance. We’re spotlighting a deal on the Series 10 for $120 off and recommend grabbing it instead of paying more for the Series 11.
Apple Watch Ultra 3: The Apple Watch Ultra 3 ($799/£749) has a slightly larger screen, 5G connectivity, Emergency SOS via satellite, and significantly longer battery life (42 hours vs 36 hours). With prices already dropping by $100, we recommend picking up the newer model if you’re looking for a large, rugged watch.
Apple Watch SE 3: Apple updated the Apple Watch SE for the first time in years and gave it several overdue features, including an always-on display, skin temperature sensor, gestures, 5G (on cellular models), a faster chip, and fast charging. With the same $249/£219 starting price, an older SE 2 would need to be around $100 to be worth it. Early Black Friday sales are already pushing the price of the SE 3 under $200 and we think it’s a fantastic option for just about anyone.
For detailed advice on selecting the best model for you, check out our Apple Watch buying guide.
Black Friday Apple Watch deals: What to avoid
Spot bad deals: It’s important to be aware that Black Friday brings bad deals as well as good ones. Retailers don’t want to give you a great deal; they want you to buy their unwanted stock at a high price and will use all sorts of tricks to persuade you to do so. Don’t let them get away with it.
Check the real pricing: Always check the current MSRP/RRP for the watch you’re planning to buy (we include these with all of our recommended deals). In the U.K. Apple dropped prices on the new set of Watches when they were introduced, but retailers will conveniently forget to mention this and quote the old price instead. That makes their discount look bigger and the deal more appealing. Some retailers also raise their own prices ahead of Black Friday, then drop them back down and claim a large saving. Price tracker sites like CamelCamelCamel can help you to work out if this has happened. We will also flag it if we see it.
Read about the product: It’s worth checking reviews and buying guides (such as ours, linked above) to assess the age and worth of the device. Make sure you’re not being fobbed off with antiquated stock. Also, watch out for deals on the cellular models; these can look like big savings, but in our experience, there is little point in owning a cellular Apple Watch. You might as well pay less and get the standard model.
Does Apple discount Apple Watches for Black Friday?
Apple doesn’t drop prices for Black Friday. Rather, it gives away gift cards when you buy certain items. For Apple’s Black Friday deal in 2025, it is giving away $50/£40 gift cards with Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch Series 11 purchases made on Apple’s U.S. site or Apple’s U.K. site. The Series 10 wasn’t included in 2024’s sale, so the fact that the Apple Watch 11 is included this year is a nice surprise.

Orion Browser Brings WebKit Speed and Privacy Focus to Mac Users Kagi, best known for its telemetry-free search engine, has released version 1.0 of Orion, its privacy-focused browser for Mac. After a long beta period, the WebKit-based browser is aimed at users who want Safari's speed without the data collection that comes with most other options.
For users who want an alternative to Chromium browsers like Chrome, Edge, and Brave, without sacrificing speed or extension support, Orion could be worth a look. Moreover, unlike some recent browser launches, there's no integration of AI features, and Kagi says it collects no telemetry or usage data of any kind.
For a browser claiming zero-bloat, there are some notable features, too. Focus Mode strips away the browser interface to turn any website into a distraction-free app, while Link Preview lets you peek at links from mail or notes without actually opening a new tab. You can set up separate profiles that keep work, personal browsing, and everything else completely isolated. Not only that, the browser also works with Chrome and Firefox extensions.
Orion is free to download and use, and also comes with 200 free searches on Kagi's premium search engine, while an optional Orion Plus subscription at $5 per month unlocks floating windows that stay on top of other apps, custom icons, and offers early access to new features.
Kagi's six-person team developed Orion over five years (the first two years handled by a single developer). The company plans to expand documentation and add new features over the coming year. You can grab it over on the Orion website, while iPhone and iPad versions can be downloaded from the App Store.Tag: WebKitThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

iPhone Air Flop Sparks Industry Retreat From Ultra-Thin Phones Apple's disappointing iPhone Air sales are causing major Chinese mobile vendors to scrap or freeze their own ultra-thin phone projects, according to reports coming out of Asia.
Since the iPhone Air launched in September, there have been reports of poor sales and manufacturing cuts, while Apple's supply chain has scaled back shipments and production.
Apple supplier Foxconn has reportedly dismantled all of its production lines for the iPhone Air, while Luxshare, another supplier, stopped production at the end of October.
As a result of the device's poor reception among consumers, rival smartphone manufacturers including Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, and others have either canned or adjusted their development plans for Air-style models, and reallocated eSIM solutions intended for the devices to other production lines.
Xiaomi reportedly planned a "true Air model" to rival Apple's offering, while Vivo targeted thinness within its mid-range S series. Both companies are now said to have halted related projects but have yet to officially comment.
Apple relied on the iPhone Air's new look to generate excitement – it's the first major redesign of the iPhone since the iPhone X introduced Face ID and an all-display front in 2017. However, achieving a super-thin 5.6 mm profile required trade-offs. The iPhone Air uses a smaller battery and a single rear camera, yet still carries a premium price.
Starting at $999, it seems too expensive for what many buyers view as style over substance. It sits only $100 below the $1,099 iPhone 17 Pro, which offers a triple-lens camera system and far better battery life.
The tepid consumer response is also said to have forced Apple back to the drawing board: a report from The Information claims Apple has delayed the second-generation iPhone Air while it redesigns the device to potentially fit in a second camera and improve battery life.
Apparently it's been a similar story for Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge, the Korean company's equivalent ultra-thin offering. Samsung has reportedly cancelled the Galaxy S26 Edge and halted the production of the Galaxy S25 Edge, owing to poor sales.

How to get the best AirPods deals for Black Friday 2025: Our advice
We’re seeing some incredible sales on all four AirPods models this year, with all-time low prices on the AirPods 4 and AirPods Max. Here’s what to look out for:
AirPods 4: Apple’s cheapest AirPods weren’t updated in 2025, and we’ve seen prices falling all year. Over Prime Day, they dropped to $89 and early Black Friday sales have already dipped even lower. We don’t know if they’ll get as low as $75, but it’s possible.
AirPods 4 with ANC: Apple sells a version of the AirPods 4 with noise cancellation for an extra $50, but we’ve seen them as low as $119. With AirPods 4 ANC getting a larger price drop heading into Black Friday, we could see the ANC model inch closer to $110.
AirPods Pro 3: Apple just released the newest AirPods Pro 3 in September alongside the iPhone 17, so we’re not expecting the kind of deep discounts we saw last year with AirPods Pro 2. However, we might see the remaining stock of AirPods Pro 2 drop as low as $150.
AirPods Max: Apple’s over-the-ear AirPods Max haven’t been updated in a meaningful way since 2020. They still have an H1 chip, don’t support Apple’s latest AirPods Pro features, and have a very high price tag compared to similar wireless headphones. If you want a pair, we’d recommend waiting until they drop under $400.
Does Apple discount AirPods for Black Friday? Gift card values 2022–2025
Apple doesn’t cut prices for Black Friday, but it does hold a 4-day Shopping Event where it gives away gift cards when you buy certain items. Apple’s Black Friday 2025 offer is similar to previous years, with $25 for AirPods 4, $50 for AirPods Pro, and $75 for AirPods Max purchased on Apple’s U.S. site or Apple’s U.K. site.

Best iMac & Mac mini deals for Black Friday 2025
U.S.
The iMac and Mac mini received an M4 update in October 2024, with the Mac mini also getting a dramatic redesign that shrunk the case down to just 5 inches. We loved the new Mac mini design and M4 chip and there is $120 off at Amazon, which we’d say is a great saving, especially if you don’t need a screen.
The M4 Pro chip version is a great low-cost way to get a really powerful Mac mini and there’s $200 off, so we recommend jumping at any savings here. We don’t know if they will be getting M5 chips, but if they are, they won’t arrive until 2026, so we recommend picking up one of these deals if you’re looking for a Mac desktop.
Amazon, M4 Mac mini (256GB): $479 ($120 off, MSRP $599)

These high-end Macs don’t have any meaningful Black Friday deals (so far). If we spot any, we’ll cover them in our guide to the best Black Friday Apple deals.
Black Friday 2025: Top shopping tips
We tend to find that the biggest savings are on older models, but be aware that these aren’t always the best value for money.
Check the generation of the model that is discounted to make sure you know exactly what you are buying and what it’s really worth.
We’ve seen resellers switch to selling refurbished or used when the stock of brand-new models run out, so check that the model discounted isn’t actually a used Mac and therefore not as good a deal as it might look.
That’s not to say you should avoid refurb models; you just need to make sure that you aren’t buying something used when you want a new model.
Mac deals aren’t limited to Black Friday. We see good deals all year round, so don’t feel pressured into buying during Black Friday.
How to get the best MacBook deals for Black Friday 2025: Our advice
Foundry
Apple updated nearly all of its MacBook models in 2025, and we expect to see all-time-low pricing on many models and configurations.
M4 MacBook Air: released this past March with a $100 price cut. The base model is $999 and can be found for $750/£849 during Black Friday week.
M4 Pro/Max MacBook Pro: released in 2024 and are still excellent machines. Worth the investment when it’s $300/£250 or more off.
M5 MacBook Pro: released in October, but we are already seeing discounts of $200 and £200.

How to get the best Mac deals for Black Friday 2025: Our advice
Simon Jary / Foundry
Apple hasn’t updated any of its consumer-level desktop Macs in 2025, so prices on the M4 models are as low as they’ve ever been:
M4/M4 Pro Mac mini: Apple updated the Mac mini late last year with an M4 chip and a new design. The M4 Mac mini is a fantastic device with an extremely small footprint, so don’t hesitate to grab one at a discount, we’ve seen $200/£130 off.
M4 iMac: The iMac has a 24-inch 4.5K display and a speedy M4 processor starting at $1,299. Look for sales below $1,150/£1,170 before you decide to buy one.
Does Apple discount Macs for Black Friday?
Apple doesn’t drop prices for Black Friday. Rather, it gives away gift cards when you buy certain items. For Apple’s Black Friday shopping event in 2025 it is giving away gift cards with MacBook Air, Mac mini, iMac and M4 Pro and M4 Max MacBook Pro purchases made on Apple’s U.S. site or Apple’s U.K. site. Since they are so new, the M5 MacBook Pro models aren’t included in Apple’s deal.
The 2025 deal is pretty good. You can get a gift card for up to $250 on a new Mac, which is better than 2024’s maximum offer.

Buying from Apple means you are guaranteed to be buying the latest Mac, whereas other resellers may be clearing old stock. You then have a gift card to buy something else from Apple, including Apple TV, Apple Music, and Apple One subscriptions.

New Spotify Feature Lets You Transfer Playlists From Other Services In case you missed it: Spotify has been rolling out a new built-in playlist-transfer feature for its mobile app, so now you can import playlists from other streaming services directly, without the need for third-party tools.
Announced by the company a week ago, the feature is powered by TuneMyMusic, and it supports all the major services including Apple Music, Amazon Music, SoundCloud, TIDAL, Pandora, and Deezer. Spotify said the tool would roll out to all users "over the coming days."
You should be able to find the new tool in the "Your Library" section of the Spotify app – swipe to the bottom of the list, then tap on the new option to "Import your music" and follow the prompts to connect with the service.
You can then choose the platform you'd like to transfer playlists from. Missing tracks can still happen when services' catalogs don't align, but for most users the process now takes only a few taps.
The rollout removes one of the biggest barriers to switching platforms. Until now, users had to rebuild playlists manually or rely on third-party apps to do so. It's a nice bonus too, since the online version of TuneMyMusic only lets you transfer 500 tracks for free – unlimited transfers require a paid plan.
Apple Music rolled out its own transfer tool globally in September, allowing users to import their playlists and libraries from competing services.Tag: SpotifyThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
iOS 27: Everything we know about the fall 2026 iPhone update Macworld
There may be a lonh roadmap ahead for iOS 26, but Apple is already hard at work on the next major release: iOS 27.
We have already started to hear rumors about what the next operating system will have in store for our iPhones when it is released in September of 2026, which we’ve collected here. Of course, plans change, and you should take everything with a grain of salt until Apple formally unveils it at WWDC in June. Here’s what we think we know so far.
iOS 27: Performance over features
Our most reliable intel about iOS 27 comes from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who reports that Apple intends to treat iOS 27 similarly to Mac OS X Snow Leopard (version 10.6). After the major overhaul of Mac OS X Leopard (10.5), Apple spent the next year removing cruft, fixing bugs, streamlining, optimizing, and improving performance. There were new features, of course, but not as many relative to a normal OS X release.
The result was one of the most popular and well-loved OS X versions of all time. Apparently, iOS 27 is going to follow the same route: there will be some new features, but much time and effort is being spent on cleaning up the code and improving performance.
iOS 27: Apple Intelligence
While the focus of iOS 27 may be on performance, efficiency, and reliability rather than new features, there is reportedly one major exception: Apple Intelligence.
Apple is gearing up to launch the new Siri with iOS 26.4, which is rumored to use a foundation model powered by Google’s Gemini, but run on Apple’s servers with lots of modifications and Apple-specific features. But the company has a lot more work to do to improve Apple Intelligence and build smart AI features throughout its operating systems, and that is said to be a major effort of iOS 27 (and macOS 27, iPadOS 27, and so on).
We don’t have much information about what specific AI advancements Apple is working on or how it will be used throughout the OS and Apple’s apps, yet. But Gurman reports iOS 27 will be heavy on new AI features.
iOS 27: Folding phone features
We’ve heard of the imminent release of a folding iPhone for more than five years now, but it looks it could actually happen in 2026. The iPhone Fold, as some are calling it, is expected to be an ultra-premium device with a sky-high price tag—some rumors say as much as $2,400.
Naturally, an iPhone that has a 5.5-inch screen on the outside but then opens to reveal a 7.8-inch display on the inside is going to need some specific iOS changes to make use of it. Not only will the operating system itself need an overhaul to deal with this screen-switching and new aspect ratios, but all of Apple’s built-in apps will need to take advantage of the iPhone Fold’s unique geometry.
We haven’t gotten any rumors about how iOS 27 will adapt to the folding phone, and Apple is unlikely to unveil any new features until the phone arrives in September, but we’ll be looking for clues at WWDC.
iOS 27: Release date
Apple will almost certainly take the wraps off iOS 27 at WWDC, which is held in the first or second week of June. So we’ll hear all about it, and the first developer-only betas will ship on Monday, June 1 or June 8, 2026.
Then, after several months of beta updates, the latest version of iOS always arrives in September, typically around the second week. Monday, September 14, is the most likely date, based on past history.
iOS 27: Compatibility
We don’t yet know which phones will be compatible with iOS 27, but we can make an educated guess based on past releases and what we know of the upcoming features.
Apple cut off support for iPhone with the A12 processor with iOS 26, but we don’t foresee any reason to eliminate support for devices with an A13 (which has 4GB of RAM) for iOS 27. That leaves us with a compatibility list that looks very much like that for iOS 26:
iPhone 17, 17 Pro / 17 Pro Max (launched in 2025)
iPhone Air (launched in 2025)
iPhone 16e (launched in 2025)
iPhone 16 / 16 Plus and iPhone 16 Pro / 16 Pro Max (launched in 2024)
iPhone 15 / 15 Plus and iPhone 15 Pro / 15 Pro Max (launched in 2023)
iPhone 14 / 14 Plus / 14 Pro / 14 Pro Max (launched in 2022)
iPhone SE 3 (launched in 2022)
iPhone 13 / 13 mini / 13 Pro / 13 Pro Max (launched in 2021)
iPhone 12 / 12 mini / 12 Pro / 12 Pro Max (launched in 2020)
iPhone SE 2 (launched in 2020)
iPhone 11 / 11 Pro / 11 Pro Max (launched in 2019)
Based solely on its age, it’s possible that the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro could get dropped from the compatibility list. If so, it would have enjoyed six years of new OS updates, which is on the high end for Apple devices.
Apple Asks Indian Court to Block Antitrust Law Allowing $38 Billion Fine Apple is challenging a new Indian antitrust law that would let regulators calculate penalties based on global revenue -- a change that could expose the company to a fine of roughly $38 billion in its dispute with Tinder owner Match. The 2022 antitrust case centers on accusations that Apple abused its power by forcing developers to use its in-app purchase system. MacRumors reports: Last year, India passed a law that allows the Competition Commission of India (CCI) to use global turnover when calculating penalties imposed on companies for abusing market dominance. Apple can be fined up to 10 percent, which would result in a penalty of around $38 billion. Apple said that using global turnover would result in a fine that's "manifestly arbitrary, unconstitutional, grossly disproportionate, and unjust."
Apple is asking India's Delhi High Court to declare the law illegal, suggesting that penalties should be based on the Indian revenue of the specific unit that violates antitrust law. [...] Apple said in today's filing that the CCI used the new penalty law on November 10 in an unrelated case, fining a company for a violation that happened 10 years ago. Apple said it had "no choice but to bring this constitutional challenge now" to avoid having retrospective penalties applied against it, too. Match has argued that a high fine based on global turnover would discourage companies from repeating antitrust violations. Apple's plea will be heard on December 3.

Foundation: Galactic Frontier review: Adaptation of Apple TV show fails in so many ways Macworld

Only loosely based on Foundation

An epic name, a big logo, and then a routine free-to-play game with aggressive monetization. Apple’s partnership with FunPlus raises questions: Why tie a top brand to the very business model that Apple Arcade is supposed to compete against?

Sometimes the name bears more weight than the content. This is doubly true for Foundation: Galactic Frontier (FGF). It p;ays off an epic template: Isaac Asimov’s Foundation cycle, one of the most important science fiction sagas of all time. And there’s another big name that flashes up when you start the game: the Apple TV logo.
When you see these two giants, you expect something big, epic, perhaps even revolutionary. What you get instead is a classic mobile construction game, like dozens of others, only with a thin coat of Foundation.
The game’s first impression is quite impressive. The trailers promise an immersive sci-fi experience, the graphics appear clean at first glance, and the Apple TV branding suggests a certain quality assurance. You are thrown into a world that speaks of the collapse of the empire, psychohistory, and brave traders who must find their way in the chaos. Sectors need to be explored, ships built, and heroes recruited. It all sounds like a real adventure.
But after a short time, an unpleasant familiarity sets in. Anyone who has ever played a FunPlus game will immediately recognise the pattern: base building with a timer, collecting resources, fleet management, repetitive quests, and an omnipresent feeling that you always have something to d but only if you are prepared to wait or pay.
A thin veneer for a masterpiece
The Foundation licence is the game’s biggest lure. You meet familiar characters such as Hari Seldon, and the story tells of the Trader Era, the collapse of the empire, and the Seldon plan. The problem is simple: the psycho-historical theories that make Asimov’s work so unique degenerate into loose accessories here. The dialogue is often generic, the missions are rarely really exciting, and the plot feels as if a standard sci-fi story was taken and a few Foundation names were simply sprinkled on top.
It’s not the depth you would expect from this template, but rather a shallow background noise. That’s a shame, because Asimov’s universe offers so much potential for complex storytelling. Instead, the glorious licence serves primarily to attract fans, who then find a routine mobile game. The psycho-historical tension–the real essence of Asimov–is completely missing.
Gameplay: Tried, tested, and tedious recipe
Mechanically, FGF is a prime example of the strategy-building games that have made FunPlus so successful. In base building, you build your spaceship, store resources, and wait for upgrades. Fleet management works similarly: assemble fleets, assign heroes, pay attention to synergies between the different ship types. There is also the obligatory gacha element, numerous characters to collect and level up, all of which you naturally want to collect. Ultimately, like Sea of Conquest, another title from the studio, only now in space instead of pirate ships.
A galactic map invites you to explore, peppered with events, story missions, and PvP zones. The battles are visually appealing, but are often rather automatic, with little direct player influence. Tactical decisions tend to be made in advance through fleet composition. It all works, no question. But it’s also nothing new. Anyone hoping to find a fresh interpretation of strategy or even an innovative realisation of Asimov’s ideas will be disappointed. The game is designed to bind players to daily logins, events, and monetization in the long term, maximizing dependency, not enjoyment.
FGF runs very stably on the iPhone, even if some effects can cause minor stutters. The game runs exclusively in portrait format, which is interesting and new and not necessarily annoying on the iPhone. The biggest technical annoyance, however, is the lack of iPad optimization. On an iPad, the app is displayed upright, and there are large margins on the sides. For a game that thrives on overview and strategy, this is a missed opportunity and considerably reduces the fun of playing on Apple’s larger tablets. The UI/UX can feel cluttered in places, with too many pop-ups, icons, and offers flooding the screen.
Monetization: The real empire behind it
This is where the FunpPus DNA comes into its own. FGF is free-to-play, but the way to really progress or keep up with other players is quickly via the in-app shop. It starts after a few hours: Building lines get long, energy becomes scarce, new heroes or ships can only be obtained with luck–and a lot of grinding–or by spending real money. The game offers countless “packs”, time-limited offers, VIP levels, and aggressive cross-promotions.
If you want to survive in PvP battles or excel in events, you often have to dig deep into your pockets. The balance is clearly shifted in favor of the publisher. It’s not pay-to-win in the most blatant sense, but definitely pay-to-progress, where the fun depends heavily on how much you’re willing to invest, or how much patience you have for endless timers. The reality is brutally honest: those who don’t pay will always be a few steps behind those who do.

One question remains above all: why do we see the Apple TV logo on the game’s start screen? This suggests some kind of quality control or at least a close connection to the Apple brand. The logo implies, “Apple has approved this. This must be good.” It attracts people who love the TV series and gives the game an air of officiality and high quality.
But if you take a closer look at the game, the question arises: Why is Apple involved? Why is a company that sees itself as a curator of premium experiences supporting a game that is so exemplary of aggressive free-to-play models? It’s like a three-star restaurant sticking its logo on a microwave lasagne.
With Apple Arcade, Apple has created its own subscription model for games that promises exactly the opposite: no ads, no in-app purchases, and premium titles that run on all Apple devices. A narrative, strategic game in the Foundation universe would have been the perfect candidate for Apple Arcade.
Just imagine: a game commissioned by a top studio that picks up on Asimov’s complex story, offers a real iPad version, and doesn’t fragment the gaming experience with paywalls or timers. This would have fit perfectly with Apple Arcade’s philosophy and would have been a real reason to book the subscription. Instead, the TV branding is tied to a product that virtually undermines the core values of Apple Arcade.
There are, of course, rational explanations for Apple’s approach. A free-to-play game like FGF generates enormous revenues through in-app purchases, which directly benefit FunPlus and Apple (via the App Store share). This is much more lucrative and predictable in the short term than the fixed costs of an arcade title.
Licensing is also easier than development. Apple can give the game licence to an experienced publisher like FunPlus and hope that the deal makes money without having to finance a game studio for decades. The game also creates buzz around the Foundation brand and keeps the series in people’s minds. FunPlus is a master in building and monetising live service games, an expertise that Apple does not want to build up itself.
From a purely business perspective, this is understandable. From a brand and quality perspective, however, it is a disaster. If the game is perceived as a typical rip-off title–it is, to be honest–this will reflect negatively on Foundation and Apple TV. Apple’s marketing message for Arcade, which clearly positions itself against IAP madness, seems flimsy when simultaneously promoting a prominently branded game that pushes these very mechanics to excess.
It’s also a missed opportunity: Apple has the resources, platforms, and technological power to realize a truly outstanding Foundation game. A game that honors the series and explores Asimov’s ideas interactively. Instead, this opportunity is given up for a commercially safe but artistically unambitious solution.
The Empire still has a lot to learn
Foundation: Galactic Frontier is essentially a well-made mobile game that skilfully hides behind a big name. For fans of Asimov’s work, it is a disappointment; for mobile strategy fans, it is another fun plus option among many. The real problem is Apple’s role. This game ignores Apple’s quality standards. Economically, this may be attractive in the short term, but strategically it is a mistake. It shows that even the biggest tech giants sometimes chase the quick buck and forget what their brand is all about. With Apple, it’s always been the attention to detail, the willingness to take the harder path if it’s the better one. With Foundation: Galactic Frontier, you don’t see much of that. Too bad for Asimov. Too bad for Apple.
A three-pack of these tiny AirTag alternatives is only $70 for Black Friday Macworld
TL;DR: Get a 3-pack of KeySmart SmartCard trackers on sale for $70 through December 7.
Trying to track your wallet with an AirTag never makes much sense. It works great for keys, but it’s too thick to sit in a billfold without feeling awkward. The KeySmart SmartCard fixes that by working with Apple’s Find My network while keeping the shape of a normal credit card. You can slide it into your wallet, an ID holder, or a badge sleeve, and it stays flat without adding bulk. These super slim trackers are also already marked down for Black Friday.
Right now, a 3-pack of KeySmart SmartCards is only $69.97 (reg. $119.97).
Once you pair one of these little trackers with Apple’s Find My app, you can see its location on a map, make it ring when you misplace it at home, or rely on the larger Apple device network when it is farther away. You can set it to notify you if you walk away without it, which is helpful when you are rushing and not paying attention. Lost Mode is built in, too, so your contact info pops up if someone finds your wallet.
Charging is simple since it works with a normal Qi wireless charger. One charge lasts up to eight months, so you don’t have to constantly worry about a low battery. These tiny trackers are also waterproof and sturdy enough to handle being thrown around in a bag.
Don’t shove an AirTag in your wallet.
Get a three-pack of KeySmart SmartCards on sale for $69.97.

RealityKit’s custom light entity causes a black artifact on my 3D model I’m working with RealityKit and I’m seeing a strange black artifact appear in the center of my rendered model. Here’s the relevant code:
let camera = PerspectiveCamera()
camera.transform = Transform(pitch: -Float.pi / 2, yaw: 0, roll: 0)
camera.position = SIMD3(5, 5, 5)
anchor.addChild(camera)
let light = DirectionalLight()
light.transform = camera.transform
anchor.addChild(light)
let model = try! await ModelEntity(named: "lightning.usdz")
model.position = SIMD3(5, 3, 5)
anchor.addChild(model)
There's a black artifact at the center of the screen (see the tiny dot at the center of the model in the screenshot).
I can confirm that I am using the same lightning.usdz file from my SceneKit app which was rendering fine. This only appears when I migrate to RealityKit. So the USDZ file should be fine. The issue is in RealityKit.
You can download my project here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1K4m0g84fDJ3_rT8TKFM92jmawTKjYXfG/view?usp=sharing
I can confirm this is related to the custom light entity, because when I set light's intensity to 0, the artifact is gone (of course I can't just use the default lighting for my game, I have to use my custom lighting).
light.light.intensity = 0

Google's AirDrop Support For Pixel 10 Likely Exists Because of EU's Apple Ruling Last week, Google surprised the tech world when it announced AirDrop support on Pixel 10 devices -- all without Apple's involvement. "While it initially seemed like this was a rogue move made by Google to coerce Apple into another boundary-breaking decision, it might actually be part of the repercussions that also led to USB-C on iPhone and the adoption of RCS," reports 9to5Google. From a report: As reported by Ars Technica, the answer to this week's mysterious Quick Share upgrade lies in the EU's interoperability requirements designed for the DMA. The ruling out of the European Commission pushed Apple to begin supporting interoperable wireless standards beginning with this year's set of OS upgrades, replacing the previous proprietary standard the company used to power its various Continuity features. That forced Apple to add support for the Wi-Fi Alliance's Wi-Fi Aware standard of multi-directional file sharing, at the cost of completely phasing out its previous walled-in protocol.

iOS 27: All the Rumors About Apple's Next Big iPhone Software Update It's only been two months since iOS 26 launched, but rumors don't take breaks. We're already hearing details about the next-generation iOS 27 update, which Apple will introduce in June 2026 before launching it in September 2026.
We've rounded up all of the rumors that we've heard so far.
Foldable Features
In 2026, Apple plans to launch the first foldable iPhone, a device that could be called the iPhone Fold. Rumors suggest that it will feature a 5.5-inch display when folded, and a 7.8-inch display when it's opened up like a book.
An iPhone with a larger display that also folds will require some major updates to iOS, and iOS 27 will focus on building new interfaces and experiences made for a larger display.
We haven't heard specifics on how Apple will tweak iOS to accommodate the iPhone Fold, but we could see some iPad-like options such as side bars and perhaps even multitasking views with support for multiple windows.
Bug Fixes
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has described iOS 27 as a "Snow Leopard" update, suggesting that Apple will focus on improving underlying performance and quality rather than introducing major new functionality. Apple engineers are reportedly going through iOS 26 to look for bloat, bugs, and any other issues impacting performance.
Liquid Glass
iOS 27 might include refinements for the Liquid Glass design that Apple introduced with iOS 26. There have already been some changes in the iOS 26.1 and iOS 26.2 updates, but iOS 27 will provide Apple with the opportunity to make larger adjustments.
Apple Intelligence
We're supposed to get the much smarter version of Siri in an iOS 26.4 update planned for spring 2026, but it's likely even more Apple Intelligence capabilities will follow in iOS 27.
We don't know specifics yet, but Apple Intelligence features could expand to additional apps.
Apple is working on a "World Knowledge" Siri search feature that would provide information on general search queries, which will likely be included in Siri's iOS 26.4 update. If it's not in iOS 26.4, the add-on Siri feature could instead come in iOS 27.
Siri
With iOS 27, Apple could update Siri's design. Siri will get its major overhaul in iOS 26.4, but a new visual look is supposedly planned for iOS 27. There are no specifics about what the redesign might entail, but rumors linked to Apple's upcoming tabletop robot suggest that the company might introduce a version of Siri that's more animated, similar to the Mac Finder logo. That more animated version of Siri could also come to the iPhone and iPad.
Health+
Apple is rumored to be developing a paid Health+ service with nutrition planning and medical suggestions, and we could see that introduced as part of iOS 27.
The medical tool would explain different health metrics and trends from the Health app, offering up personalized guidance for health improvement.
New Satellite Features
Apple is working on several new satellite features for the iPhone, and it's possible some features could be introduced as soon as 2027. Timing on Apple's satellite improvements is unclear, though, and behind-the-scenes updates from Apple's satellite partner Globalstar are required.
Rumored features:
Apple Maps via satellite
Photos in Messages via satellite
Satellite API framework for third-party apps
Satellite over 5G
Satellite connectivity without the need for a view of the sky
Some of these features might require new hardware, but options like Apple Maps via satellite would not require components beyond what's available now.
Launch Date
New versions of iOS, macOS, and Apple's other software platforms will be previewed in June at WWDC before launching in September just ahead of when new iPhone models come out.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Apple Asks Indian Court to Block Antitrust Law Allowing $38 Billion Fine Apple is fighting an antitrust penalty law in India that could require it to pay massive fines in its ongoing antitrust dispute with Tinder owner Match, reports Reuters.
Last year, India passed a law that allows the Competition Commission of India (CCI) to use global turnover when calculating penalties imposed on companies for abusing market dominance. Apple can be fined up to 10 percent, which would result in a penalty of around $38 billion. Apple said that using global turnover would result in a fine that's "manifestly arbitrary, unconstitutional, grossly disproportionate, and unjust."
Apple is asking India's Delhi High Court to declare the law illegal, suggesting that penalties should be based on the Indian revenue of the specific unit that violates antitrust law.
Apple has been fighting an antitrust lawsuit in India since 2022 against dating app Match and several Indian startups. The CCI released a pair of reports last year suggesting that Apple had engaged in "abusive conduct and practices" because it required developers to use its in-app purchase system. The CCI was forced to recall its investigative reports because they contained confidential information about Apple's business practices, resulting in a delay of several months. No final decision has been made, and a penalty has yet to be levied against Apple. Apple maintains that it has not done anything wrong, and argues that it has a very small share of the smartphone market in India because Android devices are much more popular.
Apple said in today's filing that the CCI used the new penalty law on November 10 in an unrelated case, fining a company for a violation that happened 10 years ago. Apple said it had "no choice but to bring this constitutional challenge now" to avoid having retrospective penalties applied against it, too.
Match has argued that a high fine based on global turnover would discourage companies from repeating antitrust violations. Apple's plea will be heard on December 3.Tags: Apple Antitrust, IndiaThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Perplexity Adds AI-Powered Shopping Feature With PayPal Checkout AI service Perplexity was this week updated with a new personalized shopping experience that's designed to help users rediscover the joy of shopping.
Perplexity offers conversational search that incorporates the user's history and wants when looking for item suggestions. The Perplexity team suggests that the AI is able to understand each shopper's unique needs better than a search algorithm that's optimized for advertiser dollars.
The search engine is able to remember past searches, learning each user's design preferences. Results are displayed in product cards rather than scrollable grids, with the cards featuring spec lists and reviews. Perplexity supports checking out with PayPal directly from the Perplexity interface, though this is currently limited to supported merchants like Fabletics, Adorama, and NewEgg.
OpenAI this week added an AI shopping research feature to ChatGPT, so both ChatGPT and Perplexity now offer similar functionality.
Perplexity's new shopping experience is available for free to all U.S. Perplexity users on the desktop and web, and it will be expanding to iOS in the coming weeks.
PayPal is currently offering a cash back reward. Customers who complete their first purchase using PayPal within Perplexity can receive 50 percent back, up to $50.Tag: PerplexityThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

India's $38B antitrust threat puts Apple's in-app payment control at risk Apple may be forced to pay $38 billion under India's antitrust laws that allows it to go after a percentage of a company's global revenue. The real fight is over leverage, and who has power.Apple and India have a new legal battleIndia changed its competition law in 2024 to let regulators calculate penalties using a company's global turnover rather than domestic revenue. That shift exposes Apple to a maximum penalty of up to 10% of its worldwide revenue for the last three fiscal years.Apple filed a constitutional challenge in the Delhi High Court before any ruling in its ongoing antitrust case. Investigators previously accused Apple of abusive conduct in the Indian app market after complaints from Match Group and several Indian startups.
