We can’t believe how cheap AirPods Max 2 are for Prime Day
Macworld Apple AirPods Max 2 View Deal (function () { document.querySelector("#sticky-promo-block a").addEventListener("click", function(e) { const debug = document.location.host.search(/lndo.site|go-vip.net/) !== -1; const text = this.closest("#sticky-promo-block").querySelector("p.promo-title").textContent; const data = { event: "stickyConversionUnitClick", eventCategory: "Sticky Conversion", eventAction: "Click", eventLabel: text }; if(debug)console.log("Sticky Conversion CLick - pushing to dataLayer: ", data); dataLayer.push(data); return true; }); })(); Apple’s AirPods Max 2 in Starlight get a record-breaking discount, bringing the price down from $549 to an amazing $399. That’s the absolute best price we’ve seen for these amazing headphones, and it’s just in time for Prime Day! Powered by the H2 chip, the Max 2 delivers rich, high-fidelity sound with deep bass and crisp highs. Apple claims the ANC mode is now 1.5 times stronger than in the previous generation, which means that you’ll get to block out your noisy coworkers, commuters, and so on. When you’re out and about on the streets and you want to stay aware of your surroundings, Adaptive Audio will adjust the noise levels automatically. You’ll also get a slew of features, such as Conversation Awareness, which lowers the volume when you start talking to someone, so you can chat them up without taking the headphones off, and Live Translation, which will automatically translate foreign languages in real-time right in your ears. The headphones only deliver up to 20 hours of listening time, which should be plenty for long trips, and a quick 5-minute charge gives you an extra 1.5 hours of listening time. And if you want to enjoy lossless audio straight from the source, you can use the included USB-C cable to listen in wired mode. While $399 is a fantastic price for these premium headphones, it’s a shame that not all colors are available for the same price. All other colors are $100 more right now, however, and that’s a big enough price difference that getting the Starlight model is a no-brainer. At just $399, now’s the best time to get your hands on the Apple AirPods Max 2 ahead of Prime Day. For more great deals see our round ups of the Best Prime Day Apple deals 2026.

These days most mice will work on either Mac or PC, so you’ve got access to just about the entire PC mouse market, from wired to wireless, trackpads to trackballs, and even over-the-top dedicated gaming mice. The more sophisticated mice require software, so ensure that the settings app works on a Mac. All the mice tested here that have Settings apps are Mac-compatible. A lot of people prefer using a mouse to their laptop’s trackpad. A mouse makes things much easier and just feels more comfortable and familiar. But for some people mice can be an ergonomic nightmare, so luckily there are alternatives. Beware of the cheapest wireless mice out there. Many require a nano receiver to plug into an old-school USB-A port on the computer, and newer MacBooks have just one or two USB-C/Thunderbolt ports instead. Ideally, you’ll want a Bluetooth-compatible mouse to connect wirelessly to a MacBook or Mac. If you’re trying to get the hang of your Apple-friendly mouse, you may want to know how to right-click on a Mac. We also have a round up of the Best Keyboards for Mac. Best Mice to use with MacBook or Mac We’ve rounded up our favorite Mac mice below, starting with Apple and moving to ultra-productive mice with multiple buttons and scroll wheels, gaming mice and trackpads, and ultra-ergonomic solutions. Whether you want a basic spare or travel mouse, we’ve tested the best Mac mice we can find. While we love Apple’s Magic Mice there are some better options that will probably better meet your needs – we discuss how to pick the best mouse for your Mac at the bottom of this article. For example, the Logitech MX Master 4, features a comfortable ergonomic design, two scroll wheels, multiple programmable buttons, and haptic feedback technology. If you prioritize wrist comfort, the Logitech Lift is designed with a 57-degree vertical angle to place your hand in a natural handshake position, which helps reduce strain. Known for its gaming gear, Razer also offers a compelling productivity mouse called the Pro Click 2. It features a comfortable design and programmable buttons. And for those who are always on the move with their MacBook, the ESR MagMouse offers a unique solution. It’s a lightweight, capable wireless mouse that can magnetically attach to an adhesive base stuck to your laptop, making it harder to lose or drop. Read on for our Mac mice reviews and buying guide. Below this chart of the best Mac mice, we look in more details about how to pick the right mouse for your Mac. Apple Magic Mouse – Best for gestures Pros Sleek and elegant design Top of the mouse acts like a trackpad Touch controls allow vertical and horizontal scrolling Cons Terrible design choice with the position of the charging port Not so comfortable if you have large hands Price When Reviewed: $79 Best Prices Today: Retailer Price $59.99 View Deal $69 View Deal $79 View Deal $119.99 View Deal $119.99 View Deal $129 View Deal $129.99 View Deal Price comparison from over 24,000 stores worldwide View more prices Product Price Price comparison from Backmarket Dots per inch: 1300dpi Like it or not, the Apple Magic Mouse is the mouse that all others have to square up to in the battle to find the best mouse for Mac users. Unchanged since 2015 (aside from an update to USB-C from Lightning in 2024) and in reality little changed since 2009, the Magic Mouse is what Apple ships with every iMac (in seven accented colors) and Mac Pro (black) and one of only two mice you can buy as a separate on the Apple Store (in black or white). The Magic Mouse is sleek and elegant, the way an Apple product should be. There are no old-fashioned buttons or scroll-wheels to spoil the mouse’s streamlined design, as the entire top multi-touch surface panel acts like a small, touch-sensitive trackpad. It works really well and cleverly combines the fluidity of a trackpad with the physicality of a mouse. Some mice have scroll wheels that can be noisy, but the Apple Magic Mouse’s trackpad top is silent in that regard. The low-profile design won’t suit people with larger hands, but the touch controls do work very well, allowing you to scroll both horizontally and vertically simply by flicking your finger in the required direction. You can set up a secondary button, rather than settle for the all-over click, on either side within the Mouse tab in your Mac’s System Settings. Where the Magic Mouse stands out of the nest of Mac mice, is gestures. You can control gestures, such as zooming and switching between applications and pages, by using the Mouse Preferences panel on the Mac. Double-tap with two fingers to launch the Mac’s Mission Control. In Settings you can also turn on Pointer Acceleration for faster or more precise mouse movements. The button-free design also means that the Magic Mouse is suitable for both left- and right-handed users—unlike the Logitech MX Master 3S mouse reviewed below. The rechargeable battery lasts for only about a month at a time—which would be fine if it weren’t for one thing… Apple did finally get around to switching the Lightning connector to a USB-C connector for charging the internal battery, but it is still on the base of the mouse, which means that you can’t use the mouse while it’s charging, as you have to flip it over on to its side in order to insert the cable. Apple also sells a black version of the Magic Mouse for an extra $20/£20, which is a bit cheeky as no other mouse manufacturer charges more for color choices. Read our full Apple Magic Mouse review

Apple’s new CEO plots ‘major design shake-up’
Macworld Following several years of turmoil, Apple’s famous design team is set for a major change when new incoming CEO John Ternus takes charge in the fall. In the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman discusses at length the department’s recent upheavals: employee defections and resignations, a decline in influence within Apple, and a general loss of ambition in favor of financially motivated conservatism. Whereas Steve Jobs prioritised product design, Gurman writes, Tim Cook has increasingly prioritised the operations and supply-chain side of the business. This has sidelined the design team, who were once looked upon as rockstars and agenda-setters within the company, but now don’t even have a place in the executive team. And this in turn has led numerous talented designers to leave Apple, and made it harder to attract design talent from outside the company. But this is about to change, according to Gurman’s sources. Cook is set to give up his current role, and in September will be replaced by a new CEO, John Ternus, with different ideas. “The incoming CEO knows a major design shake-up is needed and is getting ready to put his firm imprint on the team, I’m told,” he writes. “He has already spent a considerable amount of time with the ID [Industrial Design] group, a contrast to Cook’s historically limited presence. Now he needs to take that engagement to the next level.” Speaking to employees in internal meetings, Ternus is trying to present his focus on design as continuity rather than change. In one such meeting, Gurman’s sources report, he said Apple “is going to keep focusing on design, because design is core to what we do.” That’s certainly been the case in the past, but it’s debatable whether it has been for the past several years. “Apple has brought truly incredible design to more people than any company in history,” Ternus added at the same meeting. “We’re going to make sure that stays the case.” This verbiage isn’t a surprise: it would be unwise and even discourteous for Ternus to criticize the management style of his predecessor when that predecessor is a) currently still his boss and b) set to stay on at the company in a role that is even more senior, albeit less hands-on. But staying the same isn’t really an option for Apple’s design team, and his comments shouldn’t be taken as a signal that the plan is for things to be business as usual. The new CEO will need to give the design team more influence on company policy and direction, a sense that they are valued, and the ability to work without constantly having to think about profit and practicality. But above all, he needs to find them a strong leader, whether that means recruiting from outside or grooming from within.

Steve Jobs would approve of Apple TV, says Cue
Alongside dropping yet more hints about a sequel to "F1: The Movie," Eddy Cue has revealed how it was down to Steve Jobs's ethos why Apple TV didn't just buy an existing library.Eddy Cue (third from left) with Steve Jobs (far right) and European Commission officers in 2008 - image credit: All About Steve JobsThere have been many seemingly reliable reports that Apple wanted to buy Warner Bros. to bolster Apple TV's catalog. Yet according to Variety, Apple senior vice president of services and health, Eddy Cue, insists Apple did not and would not buy in a library."[We've] always felt like if we were putting our name on it, it was kind of weird we were going to put our name on something we didn't help create," said Cue, "so we said we're going to start with nothing, we're going to start with something that all shows that we create, which meant we had, you know, five or six shows when we launched the service."
