- 03:16 pmApple Says Original iPhone SE is Now 'Obsolete'
Apple today added the first-generation iPhone SE to its obsolete products list, meaning the device is no longer eligible for repairs, battery replacements, or any other service at Apple Stores and Apple Authorized Service Providers worldwide. Apple considers a product to be obsolete once seven years have passed since the company stopped distributing it for sale. The original iPhone SE was discontinued in September 2018, so the device recently crossed that seven-year mark. The original iPhone SE was released in March 2016. The device's design is largely based on the iPhone 5s, with key specs including a 4-inch display, a Touch ID home button, and an aluminum and glass frame with chamfered edges. However, the original iPhone SE is powered by a newer A9 chip from the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. "Everyone who wants a smaller phone is going to love iPhone SE," said Apple's former marketing chief Phil Schiller, in a press release announcing the device. Apple went on to release second-generation and third-generation iPhone SE models in April 2020 and March 2022, respectively, with both of those devices having a similar design as the iPhone 8. In February 2025, the iPhone SE was entirely discontinued for the foreseeable future, after it was effectively replaced by the iPhone 16e.Tag: Vintage and Obsolete Apple ProductsRelated Forum: iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums03:01 pmApple seeks to block India antitrust case with challenge to penalty law

Macworld We didn’t think the AirPods 4 could get a better price than they had on Black Friday, but it seems that Cyber Monday proved us wrong. Head over to Amazon right now because you can get a pair of AirPods 4 with ANC for $99, nearly 50 percent off its MSRP and beating the previous Black Friday low by a buck. We reviewed the AirPods 4 with ANC and gave them a near-perfect 4.5-star rating. We appreciated the audio quality and battery life, as well as the noise-cancellation without silicon tips,. We concluded that the buds were a great alternative to the AirPods Pro 2 for a lot less money—and that was at their full $179 MSRP. You’re missing out on some high-end features, such as Hearing Protection and Conversation Boost, but with the same H2 chip as the Airpods Pro 3, you’re getting fantastic audio quality, clear phone calls, and an overall incredible listening experience. Plus, the AirPods 4 have great battery life, with some 5 hours of playtime in your ears and an overall 30 hours with the bundled USB-C charging case. Frankly, as the AirPods 4 drop to $99, it’s now the best time to grab a pair of these earbuds before the holidays — whether you’re buying a pair for you or someone you really love.

Macworld One of the most significant Apple announcements of recent years was the news, back in 2020, that the entire Mac lineup would transition from Intel processors to ARM-based chips of Apple’s own design. The result of this potentially risky move was a second lease of life for the Mac, and a moderate dip in Intel’s fortunes. But years after the last Intel Mac transitioned to Apple silicon, the former partners may be looking for a way to rekindle their relationship. On Friday, respected industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo revealed on Twitter/X that Intel is now expected to take on a role within Apple’s processor supply chain within the next two years. “My latest industry surveys,” he writes, “indicate that visibility on Intel becoming an advanced-node supplier to Apple has recently improved significantly… Apple’s plan is for Intel to begin shipping its lowest-end M processor, utilizing the 18AP advanced node, as early as [the second or third quarter of 2027], but the actual timeline remains contingent on development progress.” On that timeline, the chips in question could feasibly be the M6 or M7, but clearly, this isn’t a return to the way things were. An advanced-node foundry supplier is a demotion from Intel’s former position as the main supplier of Mac chips. Rather, Intel would now be a manufacturing contract, not one involving design. Apple won’t be using Intel chips. Intel will be supplying Apple with chips of its own design. In any case, as Kuo points out, this in itself is a relatively minor change for Apple, Intel, and current chip supplier TSMC, because the lowest-end M chip (used in the MacBook Air, iPad Air, and iPad Pro) is expected to account for only around 15–20 million units in 2026 and 2027. TSMC will still be delivering most of Apple’s chips and all of the high-end ones. But it may signal intent to make bigger shifts in the future. Apple, Kuo claims, wishes to become less dependent on TSMC, not least because of the risk of tariff activity. (TSMC is based in Taiwan, while Intel is headquartered in California.) And that means Intel could secure more Apple contracts as the Cupertino firm looks to diversity its supply chain and future-proof against political or economic uncertainty.02:14 pmAirPods Cyber Monday deals: Save on AirPods Pro 3, AirPods 4, and much more

Give it a 240W power supply and we’d rate this dock much higher. Price When Reviewed This value will show the geolocated pricing text for product undefined Best Pricing Today Price When Reviewed$299.99 Best Prices Today: Anker Prime Docking Station (14-in-1, Triple Display, DisplayLink) Retailer Price $209.99 View Deal $209.99 View Deal Anker $299.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket The Anker Prime 14-in-1 Triple Display DisplayLink Docking Station (DL7400) is a DisplayLink docking station that brushes aside Apple’s display limitations to enable up to three external monitors via a single cable to the MacBook. To achieve this you must install free DisplayLink software on your Mac, which is reasonably painless and a one-time setup. The dock has an impressive 14 ports, including three front-mounted 100W USB-C (more on which later) and a 140W connection to the MacBook—enough to fast-charge a 16-inch MacBook Pro. A future-proof 2.5Gb Ethernet is also included for faster wired network access. It’s not Thunderbolt, but the 10Gbps USB-C is ample bandwidth for most. At the front is the smartest visual display we’ve seen on a docking station: it shows the output power and data ratings of the dock, MacBook and each port. You can also set it as a handy clock. Simon Jary Specs and features One upstream USB-C port (10Gbps, 140W) Two USB-C ports (10Gbps, 100W) One USB-C port (5Gbps, 100W) Two USB-A ports (5Gbps, 7.5W) One USB-A port (480Mbps, 4.5W) Two HDMI 2.1 video ports One DisplayLink 1.4 video port Ethernet (2.5Gb) SD card reader (UHS-I,104MBps) MicroSD card reader (UHS-I,104MBps) 3.5mm combo Audio jack (front) 160W power supply This dock connects to the computer via 10Gbps USB-C, rather than the Mac’s faster 40-80Gbps Thunderbolt ports. 10Gbps should be fast enough for most users not replying on ultra-fast external storage devices but if you require the very fastest data-transfer rates you should look for one of the best Thunderbolt docking stations. The Anker dock’s 10Gbps USB-C connection works seamlessly with the Mac’s Thunderbolt ports, but is not as fast at transferring data. However most Thunderbolt docks can’t support three external displays—in fact only the iVanky FusionDock Max 2 can do so natively (without DisplayLink), although there are DisplayLink-supporting Thunderbolt docks. The Satechi Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station with DisplayLink supports four displays for the M4/M5 MacBooks (for the M3 MacBook four displays is possible only while the laptop is shut in Clamshell Mode), with the M1 and M2 MacBooks are limited to three (one at 6K and two at 4K). At the time of writing no DisplayLink dock uses the most recent Thunderbolt 5 standard. There are six USB ports, with two USB-C offering a data-transfer rate of 10Gbps, the other USB-C and a USB-A at 5Gbps, and two weaker 480Mbps USB-A. None of the three “downstream” USB-C ports at the front support video and so are used to connect other devices such as medium-speed hard drives. The USB-A ports can be used for a mouse and keyboard if you don’t use wireless versions, older devices or flash drives. Having your always-on storage devices hanging out the front of a dock isn’t ideal from a tidiness point of view, but the space at the back is reserved for the three dedicated video ports. If possible it would be a better choice to swap the two USB-A for the more powerful USB-C. Anker Triple video options Natively (without the need for third-party software) these are the strict limits for M-series Macs, which can be fixed using a DisplayLink dock such as this: M1 MacBook Air, M2 MacBook Air and M2 MacBook Pro: Maximum one external display. M3 MacBook Air, M3 MacBook Air and M3 MacBook Pro: Maximum two external displays if MacBook lid is closed. M2 Pro MacBook Pro and M3 Pro MacBook Pro: Maximum two external displays. M4 MacBook Air, M4 MacBook Pro, M4 Pro MacBook Pro and M5 MacBook Pro: Maximum two external displays. M2 Max MacBook Pro, M3 Max MacBook Pro and M4 Max MacBook Pro: Maximum four external displays. Those limitations are tossed aside by Installing the free DisplayLink software that gives you the possibility to add up to three displays with the Anker Prime 14-in-1 DisplayLink Docking Station. Elsewhere we have more information on DisplayLink and how to connect multiple screens to an M1, M2 or M3 MacBook. DisplayLink uses clever compression technology to get around Apple’s built-in display limitations that don’t allow the MST (Multi-Stream Transport) technology that lets Windows PCs run up to four displays with ease without the need for extra software. Installing DisplayLink on your Mac isn’t difficult. Anker has an updated link with instructions. Mac users must enable Screen Recording in System Settings >Privacy & Security. “Screen Recording” sounds concerning but, don’t worry, there’s no privacy risk. The macOS requires this permission for DisplayLink to access pixels and render mirrored or extended displays over USB. No data or information is collected, and your privacy is strictly protected. While some DisplayLink docks support up to four displays—the Plugable UD-7400PD is unmatched at supporting five screens—the Anker Prime’s three will be more than enough for most people. If you need only two displays, it’s still a solid solution, with the option to add a third if required. Because it relies on dedicated video ports, users who want only two monitors will be wasting one of the available ports. The front USB-C ports don’t support video output, being limited to charging and data transfer only, so you must use the three video ports at the back to connect to external monitors. There are two HDMI 2.0 ports and one DisplayPort 1.4. Foundry Most users will want to have the external screens showing a different image on each in what is known as Extended Mode, but you can also set the external screens to show the same image, which can be useful for meetings, classrooms or public viewing. For all three displays the two HDMI ports support 4K at 60Hz, and the DisplayPort capable of 8K at 60Hz. Two-monitor configurations will be either both at 4K/60Hz or one at 4K/60Hz plus the other at 8K/60Hz. The HDMI ports don’t support 5K or 6K resolutions but do support 8K monitors at 30Hz when only one display is connected, although you’d probably choose to use the DisplayPort at 8K/60Hz. One downside to DisplayLink worth noting is that it doesn’t support HDCP (copy-protected) content playback from streaming services such as Netflix, Prime Video, iTunes and Disney+ and even YouTube TV, including on the computer’s own built-in screen. This is true of all DisplayLink docks and not just this one. Illusion of power This dock has an impressive armory of charging ports at the front, including an almost unprecedented three 100W USB-C ports. The three legacy USB-A ports at the back are puny in power terms with a possible output of just 4.5W, but that’s quite normal for the legacy format. Also at the back is the upstream/host connection that can passthrough 140W to the MacBook, which is as fast as it gets. So far, so great. The three 100W ports gives you options but the overall total power output of the dock is just 160W. If the upstream port is at full throttle to the laptop, a mere 20W is available for all the other ports. Having three 100W ports is therefore surely overkill without more available power for the dock as a whole. The dock doesn’t come with an external power supply unit (PSU) and comes instead with a cable that plugs straight into a power socket, but inside the dock must reside something that limits the potential power coming out. The highest PSU we’ve seen on a dock is CalDigit’s 330W PSU on its TS5 Plus dock and some others do reach 240W, with 180W as the average for docking stations. With Anker’s established reputation in the charging market and the an unmatched three 100W ports, this lack of overall power from the dock is surprising, and rather disappointing. It is all the more surprising given than its stablemate, the Anker 6-port Prime Charger uses a similar power connection and has a total output of 250W in a body a third the size of the dock. Obviously it lacks the dock’s great video functionality but it proves that the power can get in, just not out. There’s enough power to fast-charge an iPhone or iPad at the same times as powering the MacBook but why offer three 100W ports and a 140W upstream connection on a 160W dock? Simon Jary LAN of opportunity If you want to connect to a wired network for a more stable and faster connection than that offered by Wi-Fi this dock is equipped with a 2.5Gb Ethernet (2.5GbE) port, which represents a theoreticsal 2.5x the speed of regular Gigabit Ethernet (1GbE). Such speedier network connections are fast becoming the norm for modern docks even if take-up in the real world is not yet widespread. To get the full benefit of the 2.5x speed boost your network needs to be at least 2.5GbE—but even if your network is still rated at Gigabit Ethernet the faster variants are backwards compatible. This means the dock is ready for you when your home or office network does catch up. Card readers There are two card readers—one SD and one microSD—for adding inexpensive portable storage, although they are rated at a relatively slow 104MBps compared to the 312MBps card readers found on many other docks (or the 250MBps reader on the MacBook Pro). If you’re not in a blind hurry to get data off the cards and into your Mac, this doesn’t matter but you probably wouldn’t want to run files from your cards at that speed. Anker Design and display The Anker Prime 14-in-1 Triple Display DisplayLink Docking Station is a good-looking horizontal aluminum case that measures 7.7 x 3.6 x 1.9 inches (19.5 x 9.2 x 4.7cm). Where this dock differs from most is its informative front smart display showing real-time connection status, resolution, and refresh rate signals for HDMI and DP ports. The color display measures 2.05 x 0.85 inches (5.2 x 2.2cm). Simon Jary You control the display using the side-mounted knob (pictured above), which also works as the dock’s power button. The information is probably more than most users require but it is useful with the three powerful USB-C ports—except for the fact that they are weakened by the dock’s below-average power supply. Anker Dock Manager You can download the Anker Dock Manager desktop application that allows you to manage the dock (and other supported Anker devices), update firmware and troubleshoot issues using the built-in support and feedback tools. The app also allows you to see basic display configuration settings and the same real-time port charging status, HDMI/DisplayPort connection details, and network status that is possible from the smart display. Simon Jary Price The Anker Prime 14-in-1 Triple Display DisplayLink Docking Station is reasonably priced at $299.99 / £299.99. If you prefer Thunderbolt connections or require four external displays, consider the Satechi Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station with DisplayLink. If you need five external displays you need to get your hands on the Plugable UD-7400PD Docking Station. If you need only two or even three external displays, you can also look at our other recommended DisplayLink docks for cheaper options. Should you buy the Anker Prime 14-in-1 Triple Display DisplayLink Docking Station? The Anker Prime Docking Station offers up to three external displays at appealing resolutions and refresh rates, which should be more than enough for mere mortals, plus a generous six USB ports and a fast wired network connection. We like the smart display and 2.5Gb Ethernet but in other areas the dock’s specs look under-powered. We’d be more enthusiastic about the three 100W USB-C ports if the dock’s power supply offered more than 160W in total. The 140W to the MacBook is top end but you simply can’t run all the ports at max power or anywhere close at the same time. This dock is a solid choice if you want to connect three displays using dedicated video ports, but the lack of overall power makes the other attractive elements—three 100W ports and smart display—almost redundant. Give it a decent 240W power output and we’d rate this dock much higher.02:07 pmHere’s everything new Apple TV has coming in December

Macworld Video creation has never been easier. Whether you’re a content creator scrambling to keep up with TikTok trends or a marketer in need of quick product demos, AI video generators are becoming your new best friend. The global AI video market is booming—hitting $716.8 million this year and projected to grow at 20% annually, according to Fortune Business Insights. Pollo AI is leading the charge with its powerful video generator that turns text prompts or static images into dynamic videos using top models like Google Veo 3.1, Sora 2, and its own Pollo 2.0. If you want to skip the learning curve and start creating videos today, here’s exactly how to do it. What is Pollo AI’s video generator? Pollo AI video generator is a creative hub that makes video production feel effortless. The video generator comes in two flavors: Text to video AI, where you describe a scene and it builds a full clip from words alone. Image to video AI, which animates your existing photos or artwork into motion. Powered by cutting-edge models, it handles everything from short social clips to longer story-driven videos. No need for cameras, actors, or hours in editing suites—just your imagination and a few clicks. It’s especially handy if you’re into quick content for TikTok, YouTube, or marketing. Step-by-step guide: using Pollo AI video generator Start by accessing the Pollo AI Video Generator section on the dashboard, or navigate directly to the Image to Video AI interface or the Text to Video AI interface. How to use image to video AI Got a photo or graphic? This mode breathes life into it, turning stills into animated sequences. Great for enhancing existing assets. Pollo AI Upload Your Image and Pick a Model: Drag in your photo or artwork (supports JPG, PNG, etc.). Choose a model like Sora 2 for a realistic result, or Pollo 2.0 for fast and cinematic video creations. Add Prompt Instructions (optional): Describe how the image should move. For example, if it’s a landscape photo, prompt: “Animate the waves crashing gently on the shore, add a flying bird.” Keep it focused on actions, transitions, and effects. Set Preferences: Adjust video duration, aspect ratio, and select audio generation option as needed. Generate and Export: Click “Create” and give it 15-45 seconds. Watch the preview, then download or edit further if needed. How to use text to video AI This is ideal if you have a story or idea but no visuals ready. It turns descriptive text into complete videos. Pollo AI Pick Your Model: Pollo AI provides brief descriptions of various models to help you quickly find the right one. If you’re unsure, try a few to discover your favorite. Enter Your Prompt: Type a detailed description of the video. Include elements like style (e.g., animated or live-action) and mood. Be specific for better results. Pollo AI suggests prompts if you’re stuck, pulling from trending ideas like product demos or travel vlogs. Customize Settings: Tweak aspect ratio (e.g., 9:16 for vertical shorts) and video length. Use negative prompts to avoid issues, like “no shaky camera” or “no distorted faces.” Create and Review: Hit “Create,” and wait 20-60 seconds (depending on length). Preview the video right in the browser. If it’s spot on, download it (free tier has a watermark) or share to socials. Not quite right? Regenerate with tweaks. Why choose Pollo AI for video generation? In a sea of AI tools, Pollo AI stands out for being practical and versatile. Here’s why it’s worth your time: All-in-one creative suite Pollo AI goes beyond videos—it’s your go-to for everything creative.

2026 could be a bumper year for Apple's Mac lineup, with the company expected to announce as many as four separate MacBook launches. Rumors suggest Apple will court both ends of the consumer spectrum, with more affordable options for students and feature-rich premium lines for users that seek the highest specifications from a laptop. Below is a breakdown of what we're expecting over the next 12 months from Apple's multi-pronged MacBook offering. Got your eye on a particular model? Let us know in the comments what you're most looking forward to. Low-Cost MacBook Apple is preparing to enter the low-cost laptop market for the first time by developing a budget MacBook aimed at luring away customers from Chromebooks and entry-level Windows PCs, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The new device is said to be designed for students, businesses, and casual users, and will target people who mainly browse the web, work on documents, or dabble in light media editing. The new MacBook is said to have a 13-inch display, similar to but slightly smaller than the MacBook Air, and will feature an ultra-thin, lightweight design with a lower-end LCD display. According to reputable industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple is said to be using its A18 Pro chip to power the machine. The A18 Pro chip debuted in the iPhone 16 Pro last year and is around 40% slower than Apple's latest M4 chip, but its multi-core CPU performance is virtually identical to the M1 chip in the 2020 MacBook Air, and it even outperforms the M1 chip for graphics. The A18 Pro chip lacks Thunderbolt support, so the new MacBook would likely be equipped with regular USB-C ports. The current 13-inch MacBook Air starts at $999 in the U.S., so the new MacBook would likely have a starting price of between $699 and $899. The more-affordable MacBook could also come in some fun new colors like Silver, Blue, Pink, and Yellow. MacBook Pro With M5 Pro and M5 Max Apple is going to refresh the rest of the MacBook Pro lineup with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips in early 2026, having already updated its base 14-inch MacBook Pro with a standard M5 chip in October. The M5 series is based on TSMC's third-generation 3-nanometer technology. Based on improvements to the base MacBook Pro with M5 chip, faster SSD performance and higher memory bandwith are also likely for the high-end models. No other major changes are expected, with Apple holding over a completely refreshed design until the M6 models. If Apple retains current pricing levels, the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M5 Pro chip will start at $1,999, while the 16-inch model with M5 Pro chip will start at $2,399. For the M5 Max equivalents, prices could start at $3,199 for the 14-inch model, and $3,499 for the 16-inch machine. M5 MacBook Air While the M4 MacBook Air model isn't exactly old, attention is already turning to its successor. The M5 series is reportedly being manufactured using TSMC's advanced 3-nanometer process technology, and we have some idea of what to expect in terms of performance, thanks to the recently released M5 iPad Pro: benchmarks show single-core scores around 4,133 and multi-core scores around 15,437. That's roughly a 12-15% jump over the current M4 iPad Pro in both categories. As for graphics performance, the M5 chip appears to have up to a 36% faster GPU compared to the M4 chip. The benchmark suggests Apple has focused on modest clock speed increases and core-level efficiency improvements for the M5 chip, rather than an architecture overhaul. In other words, the M5 will be similar to the step-wise performance upgrade from M3 to M4. Expect 10-15% faster CPU speeds, a slightly more powerful GPU, and better efficiency, potentially leading to even longer battery life. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that Apple plans to roll out M5 versions of the MacBook Air in the first quarter of 2026. Based on previous spring refreshes, this suggests a likely March 2026 window. As for pricing, we expect it to remain stable, with the base model sticking with the current entry-level $999 price. MacBook Pro With Touch-Screen OLED Display Apple is reportedly developing a completely new version of the MacBook Pro packed with next-generation hardware features. The redesigned models are expected to boast M6 chips, which could adopt a completely new packaging based on TSMC's 2nm process that allows components such as the CPU, GPUs, DRAM, and Neural Engine to be more tightly integrated. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says Apple is readying OLED technology for these models. Compared to current MacBook Pro models that use mini-LED screens, the benefits of OLED technology would include increased brightness, higher contrast ratio with deeper blacks, improved power efficiency for longer battery life, and more. In addition, Gurman reports that the new machines will also have "thinner and lighter frames." Apple is apparently focusing on delivering the thinnest possible device without compromising on battery life or major new features. The redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models are also expected to have a hole-punch camera at the top of the display, rather than the notch we've become accustomed to. Gurman says that the design "leaves a display area around the sensor... similar in concept to the Dynamic Island on the iPhone." Apple's first OLED MacBook Pro will also feature a touch screen display, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The claim has since been corroborated by Gurman, noting that the touch-screen MacBook Pro will retain a full trackpad and keyboard. Research firm Omdia says Apple is "highly likely" to introduce new MacBook Pros featuring OLED displays next year, while Gurman has said the new OLED machines are being readied for late 2026 or early 2027. It would be unusual for Apple to introduce two MacBook Pro refreshes in the same year, but there is precedent for it: Apple updated the MacBook Pro lineup twice in 2023, first with M2 Pro/M2 Max chips in January and then with M3/M3 Pro/M3 Max chips in late October. Due to the pricier components, the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros are expected to cost a few hundred dollars more than current versions. Today's models with high-end chips start at $1,999 for the 14-inch version and $2,499 for the 16-inch one.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums12:59 pmIndia demands Apple preinstall government security app onto iPhones
India is continuing to pressure Apple into preloading locally sold iPhone units with state-backed apps, something Apple has been keen to resist.Mumbai, IndiaIndia's Ministry of Communications issued a directive on November 28, ordering Apple and other smartphone producers to preload an app onto new iPhones sold in the country. The order, affecting Apple as well as Samsung, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi, will require a state-owned cyber security app to be preinstalled and be unable to be removed at all.The order, first reported by Reuters, requires Apple and others to have the Sanchar Saathi app preinstalled on new mobile devices within 90 days.

Prior to version 1.7.1, an extension execution path in Faction's extension framework permits untrusted extension code to execute arbitrary system commands on the server when a lifecycle hook is invoked, resulting in remote code execution (RCE) on the host running Faction. Due to a missing authentication check on the /portal/AppStoreDashboard endpoint, an attacker can access the extension management UI and upload a malicious extension without any authentication, making this vulnerability exploitable by unauthenticated users. This issue has been patched in version 1.7.1. 2025-11-26 9.7 CVE-2025-66022 https://github.com/factionsecurity/faction/security/advisories/GHSA-xr72-2g43-586whttps://github.com/factionsecurity/faction/commit/c6389f1c76175b7c1c68d1a87b389311b16c62c3 fugue-project--fugue Fugue is a unified interface for distributed computing that lets users execute Python, Pandas, and SQL code on Spark, Dask, and Ray with minimal rewrites. In version 0.9.2 and prior, there is a remote code execution vulnerability by pickle deserialization via FlaskRPCServer. The Fugue framework implements an RPC server system for distributed computing operations. In the core functionality of the RPC server implementation, I found that the _decode() function in fugue/rpc/flask.py directly uses cloudpickle.loads() to deserialize data without any sanitization. This creates a remote code execution vulnerability when malicious pickle data is processed by the RPC server. The vulnerability exists in the RPC communication mechanism where the client can send arbitrary serialized Python objects that will be deserialized on the server side, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code on the victim's machine.

Netflix has quietly removed the ability to cast content from its mobile apps to most modern TVs and streaming devices, including newer Chromecast models and the Google TV Streamer. The change was first spotted by users on Reddit and confirmed in an updated Netflix support page (via Android Authority), which now states that the streaming service no longer supports casting from mobile devices to most TVs and TV-streaming devices. Users are instead directed to use the remote that came with their TV hardware and use its native Netflix app. The only exception appears to apply to older Chromecast models without remotes, as well as TVs with built-in Google Cast support. However, even on these legacy devices, casting only remains for those on costlier ad-free plans, but it is unavailable for subscribers on Netflix's ad-supported plan. User reports appear to suggest Netflix began removing the Cast button from its mobile apps in mid-November, but the company provided no advance warning to users. One Reddit user said customer service explained that devices with remotes can no longer cast, claiming the decision was made to improve the customer experience. The move bears similarities to Netflix's 2019 decision to remove AirPlay support from its iOS app, citing an inability to distinguish between different AirPlay-enabled devices (i.e., what is an Apple TV vs. what isn't) as Apple expanded the technology to third-party TVs.Tag: NetflixThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums12:19 pmChatGPT ads are on the way, but iPhone users can avoid them

Macworld December is usually a slower month for Apple releases. We typically get new update to our operating systems, but it’s not full of major new features. Most of the time, any hardware that hasn’t shipped by the end of November is just going to wait for release the next year. Such is the case this year, where Apple is likely done releasing new hardware, but has some nice OS updates in store for us. Here’s what we expect from Apple in December 2025. Likely no new hardware Last month, Apple was reportedly planning at least three more hardware releases this year: A new HomePod mini, a 2nd-generation AirTag, and a fourth-generation Apple TV 4K. New Apple products in December are incredibly rare, but don’t forget, the AirPods Max dropped on December 8, 2020. So while it is certainly possible that any of those could drop just before the holidays, it’s not very likely. We’ll probably see all three in early 2026. The second-gen AirTag would be nice to get before all that holiday travel, though. Apps and software updates The OS 26.2 releases once again focuses on polish and quality-of-life improvements. There are auto-generated chapters in Podcasts, updated sleep score ranges, a Liquid Glass Measure app, and more in iOS 26.2. But it’s the new Edge Light feature in macOS 26.2 that has us the most excited about this update. Apple will probably release these 26.2 updates in the second week of December, and begin the 26.3 beta tests around the same time. We don’t expect big changes in that update, either—it’s the 26.4 update that is supposed to have the new Siri we’re all waiting for. Services Apple TV+ Here are the shows, series, and movies we expect to release on Apple TV+ in TK. If you want to know what’s coming later, check our guide to upcoming Apple TV+ content. The First Snow of Fraggle Rock: The Fraggles eagerly await the first snow of the season and all the traditions it brings, but when only a single snowflake arrives and Gobo can’t write the yearly holiday song everyone is expecting, the season is thrown off course. December 5 F1: The Movie: Apple’s most successful movie stars Brad Pitt as an aging driving that needs to lead an F1 team to victory. After its big theatrical release several months ago, it starts streaming on Apple TV in December. December 12 Born to Be Wild: From first steps to first hunts, follow six rare baby animals as they learn survival skills and bring hope for the future of their species in the wild. December 19 Apple Arcade Apple releases most Apple Arcade games on the first Friday of each month. Check our Apple Arcade FAQ for a full list of Apple Arcade games and more details on the service.

Apple is expected to launch a new foldable iPhone next year, based on multiple rumors and credible sources. The long-awaited device has been rumored for years now, but signs increasingly suggest that 2026 could indeed be the year that Apple releases its first foldable device. Below, we've collated an updated set of key details that have been leaked about Apple's foldable iPhone so far. Apple will allegedly call the device the "iPhone Fold," which is the name the media has already adopted when sharing rumors about the product. Overall Design Book-Style According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple's foldable iPhone is similar in style to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold, which uses a book-style folding mechanism, rather than the clamshell design of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. Industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo expects the foldable iPhone to measure between 9 and 9.5 mm when folded, and around 4.5 to 4.8 mm when unfolded. More recently, Weibo-based leaker Instant Digital has said that the foldable iPhone will have a thickness of at least 4.8mm. Display Sizes Dual Screens When folded, users will interact with a 5.5-inch outer display that is similar to a typical iPhone screen, while unfolding it will reveal a larger 7.8-inch iPad-style screen. These dimensions have been corroborated by two reputable sources. According to one rumor, the inner folding display will be approximately the size of a piece of A6 paper and will use a 2,713 x 1,920 resolution, while the outer display will use a 2,088 x 1,422 resolution. Crease Visibility 'Crease-Free' The inner display is said to be virtually crease-free, thanks to Apple's use of a metal plate that can disperse and control the stress generated by bending the display, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Apple is said to be using liquid metal in the hinges to improve durability and help eliminate screen creasing. Liquid metal, manufactured using a die-casting process, has been chosen by Apple to address this common issue with foldable devices, according to the analyst. Citing supply chain sources, Chinese site UDN says that Apple has solved "the crease problem" that has plagued most foldable smartphones, and the foldable iPhone will be the first crease-free foldable smartphone on the market. Chassis and Hinge Durable Materials The foldable iPhone reportedly has a titanium chassis, with the hinge constructed from a combination of titanium and stainless steel, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. The frame itself will use a titanium alloy to prevent bending issues – a solution that has worked well for Apple's new ultra-thin iPhone Air. However, analyst Jeff Pu believes that Apple is using aluminum and titanium, whereas Kuo believes a mix of stainless steel and titanium has been chosen. Cameras Front and Rear The foldable iPhone is expected to include a dual-lens rear camera, with a front-facing camera for both folded and unfolded states, according to Kuo. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman recently corroborated reports that the device will have four cameras consisting of one front camera, one inner camera, and two rear cameras. Prolific Weibo-based leaker Digital Chat Station claims that the rear dual lenses will be 48 megapixels each. Other sources have claimed that the inner display features an under-screen camera (USC), while the outer display – in the device's folded state – will have a punch-hole camera. Authentication Touch ID Kuo believes the phone will forgo Face ID authentication, and instead use a Touch ID side button as a means to save precious internal space, and Bloomberg's Mark Gurman recently corroborated the rumor. Apple has previously integrated Touch ID into the side button of the iPad, iPad Air, and iPad mini. Cellular Connectivity C2 Modem The foldable iPhone will use Apple's second-generation C2 modem for cellular connectivity, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Apple debuted its custom-designed C1 modem in the iPhone 16e earlier this year, followed by the C1X featured in the iPhone Air, as part of a multi-year plan to transition away from Qualcomm modems. Gurman says the foldable device will not have a physical SIM slot. Battery Life High-Density Cells Apple is putting a heavy focus on improving power efficiency by slimming down key components like the display driver to make room for more battery cells, according to a Korean blog that has leaked accurate details about unreleased products before. The phone will reportedly use high-density battery cells. Expect the C2 modem to be faster overall, and for it to gain mmWave support in the United States. Further power efficiency improvements are likely too. Color Options Black and White Apple is currently only testing variations of black and white for the folding phone with suppliers, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, although he says that Apple's plans could evolve before the device launches. Pricing Premium Segment Multiple reports have suggested the foldable iPhone will be priced between $2,000 and $2,500 in the United States, which could make it the most expensive iPhone ever. Meanwhile, analysts at investment banking firm UBS and Fubon Research believe the phone will be either between $1,800 and $2,000 or around $2,399, respectively. However, Kuo recently claimed that the hinge is expected to carry an average selling price (ASP) of approximately $70 to $80 when mass production begins – well below the market expectation of $100 to $120 or higher. Kuo attributed the cost decline to "assembly design optimization" and Foxconn's influence in production scaling. Whether the reduction in hinge price will reduce retail price or simply bolster Apple's margins is an open question. Regardless of the price, the foldable is expected to tap into Apple's loyal fanbase, some of whom will view it as a "must-have device" if its quality meets expectations. Launch Date Late 2026 According to industry analyst Jeff Pu, the device entered the New Product Introduction (NPI) phase at Foxconn in March 2025, while a November report from Chinese site UDN reported that the device has now entered the engineering validation stage, and Apple is gearing up for mass production. Foxconn is expected to officially start producing Apple's foldable iPhone early in the fourth quarter (October), and a recent report has suggested Apple is already stockpiling components for pre-production. An exact launch date is currently unknown, but both Kuo and Pu say mass production is planned for the second half of 2026. Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman has said he expects the device to be launched next year in the fall season. However, Japan's Mizuho Securities banking firm has suggested a postponement to 2027 could still happen because of Apple taking longer to decide on key design elements such as the hinge.Tag: Foldable iPhoneThis article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums10:50 amBest Cyber Monday 2025 Apple deals: Black Friday savings on iPad, AirPods, Macs, Apple Watch | MacworldBest Cyber Monday 2025 Apple deals: Black Friday savings on iPad, AirPods, Macs, Apple Watch

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. Macworld Cyber Monday tip: While shopping during the Black Friday sales, we’ve noticed that on Amazon, if you delay your delivery date, there are additional 2-3% savings to be had. This doesn’t apply to every Apple product, unfortunately, but we have seen the additional 3% applied to AirTags, and if you have lots of other eligible products in your shopping cart, then it can add up to decent savings. Cyber Monday/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 said in our 4.5-star review, and right now you can get $250 off all the 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro at Amazon, taking it $50 lower than last Thursday and down 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.

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 $150 off it’s a good saving (but it was $200 earlier in the Black Friday sale). 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.

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 did dip as low as $139 at Walmart, but that deal seems to have ended now, the next best option is $189 on Amazon. 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 was superb, but stock seems to have run out now (check to see if the model is user). You can still get AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation for less than $100, which is an excellent deal. If you need a pair, grab one, just beware that AirPods deals sell out quickly, but do keep checking because stock seems to come and go. See more U.S. AirPods deals below. U.K. readers can save money on the AirPods Pro 2, currently at £169 with Argos, but we’ve also seen them at that price on Amazon (but they go out of stock quickly!). Right now you can also get £20 off the AirPods 4, bringing the price under £100. See more U.K. AirPods deals below.

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’ve seen $150 off, but if you want one, we’d recommend this $599 deal on the Ultra 2 instead. U.S. 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: $699 ($100 off, MSRP $799)* Apple, $50 gift card with Apple Watch SE 3 and Series 11 Walmart, Apple Watch Series 10 (46mm): $279 ($150 off, $429 MSRP) Amazon, Apple Watch Ultra 2: $599 ($200 off, MSRP $799) CYBER MONDAY DEAL 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. Amazon, Apple Watch Ultra 3: £719 (£30 off, RRP £749) Amazon, Apple Watch SE 3 (40mm): £199 (£20 off, RRP £219) Amazon, Apple Watch SE 3 (44mm): £229 (£20 off, RRP £249) Argos, Apple Watch Ultra 2: £599 (£200 off, RRP was £799, Ultra 3 is £749) Currys, Apple Watch Series 10 (42mm): £279 (£120 off, was £399, Series 11 is £369) Currys, Apple Watch Series 10 (46mm): £299 (£130 off, was £429, Series 11 is £399) Apple, £40 gift voucher with Apple Watch SE 3 and Series 11 Cyber Monday/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. The standard entry-level iPad A16 is an absolute steal at its Black Friday price of $275, but stock is dwindling, so if you want one act fast. Foundry U.S. Amazon, iPad (A16, 256GB): $275 ($74 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) 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) Apple, $100 gift card with iPad Air Apple, $50 gift card with iPad and iPad mini Amazon, 11-inch M4 iPad Pro (512GB): $1,099 ($100 off, MSRP $1,199)* Amazon, 13-inch M4 iPad Pro (256GB): $1,199 ($100 off, MSRP $1,299)* U.K. 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). KRCS, 11-inch M5 iPad Pro (128GB): £979.02 (£20 off, RRP £999) KRCS, 13-inch M5 iPad Pro (128GB): £1,273 (£26 off, RRP £1,299) Amazon, iPad (A16, 128GB): £299 (£30 off, RRP £329)* Amazon, iPad (A16, 256GB): £399 (£30 off, RRP £429) Amazon, iPad mini (A17 Pro, 128GB): £449 (£50 off, RRP £499) Amazon, 11-inch iPad Air (M3, 128GB): £499 (£100 off, RRP £599) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Amazon, 11-inch iPad Air (M3, 256GB): £579 (£100 off, RRP £699) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Amazon, 13-inch iPad Air (M3, 256GB): £799 (£100 off, RRP £899) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Amazon, 11-inch M4 iPad Pro (2TB): £1,941 (£258 off, RRP £2,199) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL* Apple, £80 gift voucher with iPad Air Apple, £40 gift voucher with iPad and iPad mini Cyber Monday/Black Friday Apple TV deals Apple has a great deal on for Black Friday that will run through to December 1, 2025.

Get Apple TV for $5.99 a month Get Apple TV for £4.99 a month There is also an Amazon Prime Video deal gets you 6 months of Apple TV for $5.99/£4.99 per month, instead of the usual $12.99. Read more here: Get Apple TV for just $6 per month. Cyber Monday/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 £100 off the iPhone Air. The iPhone 16e also 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) (which has run out now) 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): £899.10 (£100 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) Apple, £60 gift voucher with iPhone 16 or 16 Plus Apple, £40 gift voucher with iPhone 16e Black Friday/Cyber Monday 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 Cyber Monday. 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 off/£20 off) is the newest model and is compatible with the iPad Pro, iPad Air, and iPad mini.

We buy iPads ourselves and track price drops all throughout the year, so we can tell the difference between a legitimate Cyber Monday 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 Cyber Monday/Black Friday 2025 iPad deals In the U.S., all of Apple’s iPads have hit their all-time low over Black Friday 2025, 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 5-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, although these were $150 off, but have now dropped to $100 off. There is also a decent $100 off the iPad mini as well as $150 off the iPad Air. The standard entry-level iPad A16 was an absolute steal at its Black Friday price of $279, but the price has now gone up to $309, which is a good deal but not a great one. U.S. Amazon, iPad (A16): $309 ($40 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) 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) Apple, $100 gift card with iPad Air Apple, $50 gift card with iPad and iPad mini Amazon, 11-inch M4 iPad Pro (512GB): $1,099 ($100 off, MSRP $1,199)* Amazon, 13-inch M4 iPad Pro (256GB): $1,099 ($200 off, 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. There’s now £50 off the iPad mini, which just about beats Apple’s £40 gift voucher deal. 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). KRCS, 11-inch M5 iPad Pro (128GB): £979.02 (£20 off, RRP £999) KRCS, 13-inch M5 iPad Pro (128GB): £1,273 (£26 off, RRP £1,299) Amazon, iPad (A16, 128GB): £299 (£30 off, RRP £329)* Amazon, iPad (A16, 256GB): £399 (£30 off, RRP £429) Amazon, iPad mini (A17 Pro, 128GB): £449 (£50 off, RRP £499) Amazon, 11-inch iPad Air (M3, 128GB): £499 (£100 off, RRP £599) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Amazon, 11-inch iPad Air (M3, 256GB): £579 (£100 off, RRP £699) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Amazon, 13-inch iPad Air (M3, 256GB): £799 (£100 off, RRP £899) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL Amazon, 11-inch M4 iPad Pro (2TB): £1,941 (£258 off, RRP £2,199) BLACK FRIDAY DEAL* Apple, £80 gift voucher with iPad Air Apple, £40 gift voucher with iPad and iPad mini How to get the best iPad deals for Black Friday/Cyber Monday 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 put 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 Cyber Monday 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 Black Friday, and the Cyber Monday 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). iPad Accessory Black Friday/Cyber Monday 2025 deals Mahmoud Itani / Foundry Black Friday and Cyber Monday are a great time to find deals on iPad accessories, including the Apple Pencil (which you can get for less than $50!). To check if the Apple Pencil works with your iPad, read: Apple Pencils compared: Which Apple Pencil works with your iPad? Apple also has a Cyber Monday deal that might be of interest if you want an Apple Pencil. You can get a $25/£20 voucher with your purchase of the Apple Pencil Pro. It’s also a great time to grab a pack of AirTags, with prices dropping to $63 for a pack of four of Apple’s tracking devices. U.S. Amazon, Apple Pencil Pro: $99 ($30 off, MSRP $129) Walmart, Apple Pencil USB-C: $49 ($30 off, MSRP $79) Amazon, Magic Keyboard for 11-inch iPad Air(M2/M3): $229 ($40 off, MSRP $269) Amazon, Magic Keyboard for 13-inch iPad Air(M2/M3): $300 ($19 off, MSRP $319) Amazon, Magic Keyboard for 11-inch iPad Pro (M4/M5): $249 ($50 off, MSRP $299) Amazon, Magic Kayboard for 13-inch iPad Pro (M4/M5): $280 ($69 off, MSRP $349) Amazon, Magic Keyboard Folio for iPad: $199 ($50 off, MSRP $249) Amazon, AirTag (4-pack): $63 ($36 off, MSRP $99) Amazon, AirTag (single): $18 ($11 off, MSRP $29) Amazon, Apple USB-C Charge Cable (2m): $18 ($11 off, $29) Amazon, Apple MagSafe Charger (1m): $31 ($8 off, MSRP $39) Apple, $25 gift card with iPad keyboards or Apple Pencil Pro U.K. It’s a good time to buy Apple accessories like the Appel Pencil and keyboards in the U.K. You can also get four AirTags for £74, which is £18.50 each.

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. Get Apple's Black Friday offer (U.S.) Get Apple's Black Friday offer (U.K.) 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.

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. iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro: Are there deals? In the U.S. the networks will offer you various incentives to sign up for an iPhone 17 or 17 Pro/Pro Max: AT&T does have a Black Friday exclusive on the iPhone Air where you can get it for less than $3 a month. Verizon‘s Black Friday deal includes an iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPad and Apple Watch Series 11. T-Mobile‘s Black Friday deal is a saving on a iPhone 17 Pro, iPad A16 and Apple Watch SE 3 bundle, details here. In the U.K. there are no discounts on the price of the iPhone 17 or 17 Pro/Pro Max, but you can save £100 on the price of the iPhone Air. Amazon, iPhone Air (256GB): £899 (£100 off, RRP £999) The best savings are on the iPhone 16e which we detail below. You should also consider Apple’s offer of Gift Vouchers with purchases of the iPhone 16e, 16 and 16 Plus. Best U.S. iPhone deals for Black Friday/Cyber Monday 2025 Grab an iPhone this Black Friday.Eugen Wegmann 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/Cyber Monday 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. AT&T also has a Black Friday exclusive on the iPhone Air where you can get it for less than $3 a month. 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. T-Mobile’s Black Friday deal is a saving on a iPhone 17 Pro, iPad A16 and Apple Watch SE 3 bundle, details here. 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. Verizon’s Black Friday deal includes an iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPad and Apple Watch Series 11. 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/Cyber Monday 2025 David Price / Foundry 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): £899 (£100 off, RRP £999) Amazon, iPhone 16e (128GB): £549 (£50 off, RRP £599) Amazon, iPhone 16e (256GB): £599 (£100 off, RRP £699) Amazon, iPhone 16e (512GB): £799 (£100 off, RRP £899) Amazon, iPhone 16 (128GB): £649 (£50 off, RRP £699) 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 headphones deals for Black Friday 2025 Foundry 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.

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. 2025202420232022iPhone 16 & Plus$75–––iPhone 16e$50–––iPhone 15–$75––iPhone 14–$50$75–iPhone 13––$50$50iPhone SE–$25$25$50 Get Apple's Black Friday offer (U.S.) Get Apple's Black Friday offer (U.K.) Black Friday 2025: Best deals for Apple products Check out these roundups for the best Apple deals: Apple Black Friday sale details Best Black Friday Apple deals Best Black Friday MacBook & Mac deals Best Black Friday AirPods deals Best Black Friday Apple Watch deals Best Black Friday iPad deals10:30 amIs the iPhone Fold DOA a year before it even arrives?
Macworld Last week was another tough one for the beleaguered iPhone Air, whose commercial failure is now so widely accepted that even copycat products are getting pre-emptively canceled. According to industry sources, Chinese manufacturers, including Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo, have abandoned plans to launch Air-esque ultraslim phones and are now exploring other areas. Apple may currently be wishing it did the same. The Air’s errors–its Airrors, if you like–have been discussed numerous times on this website, so I will refrain from hashing them out again. Suffice it to say, Apple was wrong to assume that what customers really wanted was an amazingly thin and light phone, and that they would be prepared to pay a high price and compromise on camera and battery performance to get it. It just didn’t manage to read the room. There are several consolations for Apple amid this isolated failure. One is that the company as a whole continues to make extravagant amounts of money. Another is that the other new phones launched this fall, particularly the premium 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max, are selling just fine. But the silver lining most relevant to the iPhone Air is the juicy prospect of the iPhone Fold, currently expected to arrive next year. Most phone makers have had a foldable on the market for years; Samsung’s first Galaxy Fold launched way back in 2019, and it was followed by folding phones from Motorola, Google, Huawei, and others. But Apple has been biding its time, waiting for the moment and the available technology to be just right. In other words, it doesn’t want to launch a foldable until it can make one without a crease. Reports last week suggest Apple has indeed solved the crease problem, and is on the point of beginning mass production of the first-gen iPhone Fold. And if the Fold is a success, Apple could retrospectively vindicate the Air project, since the Air’s breakthroughs in chassis strength and battery design were always going to come in handy when it moved onto its folding follow-up. Apple was just a year ahead of itself. “Guess you guys aren’t ready for that yet,” Tim Cook might have said. “But your kids are gonna love it.” The question is this: has Apple learned its lesson? There’s certainly an appetite for foldables, but that doesn’t mean any foldable phone will automatically be a success. If you’d asked a random customer in September whether they liked the idea of a phone that was 2.5mm thinner and more than an ounce lighter than the iPhone 16 Pro, while still squeezing in a larger screen, I’m sure they would have said, “Yes, please!” But it’s the small print, the monkey’s paw repercussions, which make all the difference. Would we like a foldable iPhone? Yes please. But what’s the catch? The iPhone Fold may suffer from some or all of the Air’s limitations, because its two folding halves will need to each be similarly ultraslim in order to make the folded device acceptably pocketable. But that’s not necessarily a dealbreaker. Where the Air weakened the camera and battery for the sake of aesthetics, the Fold’s sacrifices will be in the name of achieving a genuinely useful functional upgrade. I think many Apple fans would take that deal. Here’s the catch. If you look again at that report linked above, it includes a prediction that the iPhone Fold will start at an eyewatering $2,399. Let’s just pause for a moment to give everyone who fainted a chance to get their breath back. Feeling better? So anyway, $2,399… oh dear, they’ve gone again. A while back, we posted an article discussing the idea that the iPhone Fold would be essentially two iPhone Airs in a trench coat. Our main concern was that this would be too thick. But there was also the danger that the iPhone Fold would cost the same as two iPhone Airs–an alarming prospect. And now we hear it’ll actually cost the same as two iPhone Airs and an Apple Watch Series 11. Once again, Apple is determined to test how much we want the thing we’ve asked for, and I fear it will again get the answer, “Not that much.” Of course, this is only a rumor. Based on other sources the iPhone Fold might cost as little as $2,000. Then again, it might cost as much as $2,500. If you’re hoping for the Fold to cost less than two Airs, you’re probably going to be disappointed. And I fear that, unless it makes more of an effort to understand what phone buyers actually care about, and how much they’re prepared to pay and sacrifice to obtain it, Apple will be disappointed too.

Black Friday may be over, but Cyber Monday is here, and AirPods are still on sale for all-time low prices. The best deals will only last until midnight, so if you want a pair of AirPods, it is an excellent time to buy. We’ve seen some great deals already, including $79 off the AirPods 4 with ANC. AirPods Pro 3 are $30 off, which is their first significant discount. Both Amazon and Walmart have dropped the price of the AirPods Pro 2, but stock has now run out – we did see prices drop to a staggering $138, but that now seems to have ended and they are back to $199. In the U.K., we’ve seen the AirPods Pro 2 down to £169 at Argos and Amazon, but they frequently go out of stock. You can also find the best deals on alternatives to the AirPods, including Beats headphones, which are made by Apple and have many of the same AirPods innovations. You should also check out our roundup of the Best Cyber Monday Apple deals for this year. Also, check our Best Picks round-ups where you can see reviews of all the products we recommend, and especially our round-up of the best earbuds for iPhone users. How we pick AirPods deals At Macworld, we’ve tested every model of AirPods that Apple sells and have used them extensively in our daily lives. We have an extensive historical knowledge of historical prices and all-time lows, and only spotlight the best deals we find. Our team checks prices across Amazon and other major retailers several times a day and only highlights the verified low prices at the time of our latest update. Since there are just four models of AirPods, we’ll list the best price we can find for each, but we will let you know when a particular model hits an all-time low. Best Cyber Monday/Black Friday 2025 AirPods & AirPods Pro deals The Black Friday sales are incredible time to pick up a new pair of AirPods, but you have to be quick because they end today: Cyber Monday! AirPods 4 (with and without ANC) and AirPods Pro 3 have hit all at all-time low prices, and are significantly lower than we’ve previously seen. The Black Friday deal of $69 for AirPods 4 was mind-blowing, but it seems to have ended now, as we are only seeing used models. Unfortunately, the great deal on the older AirPods Pro 2, which were $139 at Walmart also seems to have run out, but AirPods Max have dropped under $400, so it’s a good time to grab a pair if you want one. U.K. readers can save money on the AirPods Pro 2, currently at £169 with Argos, but we’ve also seen them at that price on Amazon (but they go out of stock quickly!). Right now you can also get £20 off the AirPods 4, bringing the price under £100. See more U.K. AirPods deals below.. Apple’s Black Friday AirPods deal is a gift card worth $75/£60 with AirPods Max, $25/£20 gift voucher with AirPods Pro, and $25/£20 with AirPods 4. The deals we are seeing mostly beat Apple’s deal, which we’ve tracked over the past few years (see the values offered from 2022-2025 below), but the vouchers may be a better option if you are U.K. based as the discounts are smaller.

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 Black Friday, they dropped to $69 at Amazon, but that deal is gone. Walmart still has them for $79, however, AirPods 4 with ANC: Apple sells a version of the AirPods 4 with noise cancellation for an extra $50, and Black Friday sales dropped them all the way to $99, which is still going on for Cyber Monday. AirPods Pro 3: Apple just released the newest AirPods Pro 3 in September alongside the iPhone 17, so Amazon’s $30 price cut is about as good as it’s going to get until next year.. 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.

How we pick the best Apple Watch deals for Black Friday/Cyber Monday 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 Cyber Monday/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 now save $70 on the new Apple Watch Series 11 at Amazon, that’s $10 more than yesterday! 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): $359 ($70 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: $699 ($100 off, MSRP $799) Apple, $50 gift card with Apple Watch SE 3 and Series 11 Walmart, Apple Watch Series 10 (46mm): $279 ($150 off, $429 MSRP) Amazon, Apple Watch Ultra 2: $599 ($200 off, MSRP $799) CYBER MONDAY DEAL U.K. In the U.K. the deals are small on the newest Apple Watch models, but they have improved a little over the Black Friday weekend – we’ve seen Amazon drop the price of the Watch SE 3 further, so it’s now £20 off. If prices don’t drop further, 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) Amazon, Apple Watch SE 3 (40mm): £199 (£20 off, RRP £219) Amazon, Apple Watch SE 3 (44mm): £229 (£20 off, RRP £249) Argos, Apple Watch Ultra 2: £599 (£200 off, RRP was £799, Ultra 3 is £749) Currys, Apple Watch Series 10 (42mm): £279 (£120 off, was £399, Series 11 is £369) Currys, Apple Watch Series 10 (46mm): £299 (£130 off, was £429, Series 11 is £399) Apple, £40 gift voucher with Apple Watch SE 3 and Series 11 How to get the best Apple Watch deals for Cyber Monday/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. Cyber Monday deals have pushed 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. Cyber Monday/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. In many cases, especially in the U.K. where the price drops aren’t as big, the Apple Black Friday deal is a better option.

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.

If we spot any, we’ll cover them in our guide to the best Cyber Monday Apple deals. Cyber Monday/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 Cyber Monday/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 Cyber Monday. 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 $250 and £200. For more information about the differences and which MacBook might be best for you, read How the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro compare. How to get the best Mac deals for Cyber Monday/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. 202520242023202215-inch MacBook Air$200$200$200n/a13-inch MacBook Air$175$175$175$15013-inch MacBook Air (M2)–$150$150$150Mac mini$100–$100$10014-inch & 16-inch MacBook Pro$250––$250iMac$150––$150 Buying from Apple means you are guaranteed to be buying the latest Mac, whereas other resellers may be clearing old stock.

Macworld TL;DR: PDF Expert Premium is $79.97 (MSRP $139.99) for Cyber Monday, giving you a lifetime Mac license with editing, OCR, signatures, annotations, file conversions, and more without Adobe’s monthly fees. Cyber Monday is the best time to grab software you actually use every day, and PDF Expert is one of those apps that quickly becomes essential. It is already a more affordable alternative to Adobe Acrobat, and this Cyber Monday, the lifetime Premium Plan for Mac is just $79.97 (reg. $139.99). That is a one-time purchase for a full-featured PDF editor built specifically for macOS. Everything you need to manage PDFs without Adobe PDF Expert is fast, intuitive, and designed with Apple’s latest technologies in mind, so it feels smoother and lighter than traditional PDF tools. You can jump straight into editing text, correcting typos, adding images, inserting links, and marking up documents without the slow, heavy interfaces many editors rely on. You also get robust page organization, the ability to merge or split PDFs, and a full conversion engine that handles Word, Excel, PPT, JPG, PNG, TXT, and more. The OCR engine is particularly useful for turning scanned documents into searchable, highlightable text. It even includes tools to fix distortions and clean up low-quality scans. If you regularly sign contracts or fill out forms, the built-in signing tools make the process quick and clean. Redaction features let you safely remove sensitive information, and annotation tools cover everything from highlights to custom stamps. The lifetime license works across all your personal macOS devices and includes ongoing updates and bug fixes. With high ratings across the App Store, Capterra, PCWorld, and TechRadar, PDF Expert consistently ranks as one of the most trusted PDF editors for Mac. Adobe Acrobat now requires a subscription, so owning a full-featured PDF editor outright is harder to come by. Getting it at a Cyber Monday discount makes it even better.

The updated specs of the M5 iPad Pro may point toward a major new feature for Apple's next-generation Studio Display expected in early 2026. Apple's latest iPad Pro debuted last month and contains one display-related change that stands out: it can now drive external monitors at up to 120Hz with Adaptive Sync. The feature should deliver lower latency, smoother motion, and fewer visual artifacts during workflows such as gaming and video editing, with Adaptive Sync further minimizing latency for rapid-response tasks. This is the first time an iPad has supported 120Hz output to an external monitor and the timing aligns closely with Apple's development of a next-generation Studio Display. Although Macs have long supported 120Hz external displays, Apple has yet to ship a standalone monitor with a refresh rate above 60Hz, and they are fairly unusual in the market as a whole. Rumors from multiple sources suggest Apple is preparing a significant Studio Display update for early 2026. Earlier this year, MacRumors found references in Apple code to a new external monitor codenamed J427, which will include the A19 Pro chip. Display industry analyst Ross Young has said Apple is developing a 27-inch monitor with mini-LED backlighting. Mini-LED technology would improve brightness, contrast, and color performance compared to the current 27-inch 5K LCD panel. It would also bring the monitor in line with the MacBook Pro, which has touted mini-LED technology since 2021. In combination with a potential ProMotion 120Hz refresh rate on the Studio Display, this would bring it fully into line with the MacBook Pro. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says Apple plans to release a next-generation Studio Display or equivalent replacement external monitor as soon as early next year alongside new Macs with the M5 chip. Apple launched the Studio Display in March 2022 alongside the Mac Studio. It features a 5K LCD display, 60Hz refresh rate, 600 nits of brightness, built-in camera and speakers with Center Stage and Spatial Audio support, the A13 Bionic chip, "Hey Siri" commands, one Thunderbolt 3 port, and three USB-C ports. Pricing in the U.S. starts at $1,599. The combination of new 120Hz external display support on the M5 iPad Pro and the increasing likelihood of a major Studio Display refresh early next year adds weight to the idea that Apple is preparing a higher refresh rate for its upcoming monitor, but it remains speculation for now.This article, "" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums05:17 pmDoes anyone use a MacBook Air with 8GB Ram?
