Hands on: Using the Dexcom G7 continuous glucose meter directly with Apple Watch
On Wednesday, medical device manufacturer Dexcom finally delivered its direct-to-Apple Watch functionality for the G7 CGM. Here's how it works.Apple Watch showing the Dexcom G7 CGM appA constant glucose monitor (CGM) has historically worked by using your iPhone as a middleman. The sensor gets implanted under the skin, generally behind the arm contained in a white plastic enclosure. That enclosure then relays readings in near-real time to a companion iPhone.For those insulin dependent that use a compatible insulin pump, the Dexcom G7 was also able to send readings there simultaneously.

The best iPhone deals this month
Macworld You don’t have to pay full price to buy an iPhone; if you shop around you can find a bargain. Every month the Macworld team hunts down the best prices on iPhones at all major retailers and cellphone operators, saving you the hassle of finding the best iPhone deals. In this article, we reveal the best iPhone deals, contracts and bundles available right now. We’ll help you find a discounted iPhone suitable for any budget, and cover all the currently available models, including the iPhone 15, 15 Plus, 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max that launched in September. We also have the best prices for the iPhone 14 range, including models that Apple has removed from sale, but you can still buy elsewhere. And with Apple discontinuing the iPhone 13 mini, third-party resellers may now be the only place you can pick up one of those handsets. For those specifically in the market for the newest generation, we’ve collected the best deals for the iPhone 15 series in the U.K. and the best deals for the iPhone 15 series in the U.S. in separate articles. Best iPhone deals right now U.S. iPhone deals In the U.S., the only big iPhone deals you can find come from carriers, and have a lot of strings attached. Typically, you have to buy a phone on a multi-year installment plan, and get your discount in the form of monthly bill credits. AT&T: Get up to $1,000 in bill credits when you buy a new iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max and trade in your old phone, with a qualifying unlimited plan. Up to $700 towards an iPhone 15 or 15 Plus. T-Mobile: Get up to $830 in bill credits toward the purchase of any iPhone 15 model when you trade in your old phone and join the Go5G plan. Verizon: Get up to $839 in bill credits toward any iPhone 15 model with trade-in and the activation of a new line. U.K. iPhone deals In the U.K., we frequently see Apple-certified resellers discount unlocked iPhones. Right now we’re seeing £50-£100 off 15-series iPhones at several resellers: look for money off at Amazon, John Lewis, Currys, and Very. Amazon, iPhone 15: £699 (£100 off; RRP £799) AO, iPhone 15: £681 (£118 off; RRP £799) John Lewis, iPhone 15 Plus: £799 (£100 off, plus two-year warranty; RRP £899) Amazon, iPhone 15 Plus £799 (£100 off; RRP £899) Amazon, iPhone 15 Pro, £899 (£100 off; RRP £999) Amazon, iPhone 15 Pro Max, £1,099 (£100 off; RRP £1,199) In the U.K. it’s also possible to find discounts on older iPhones, including the now-discontinued iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 12. John Lewis, iPhone 14: £599 (£100 off, plus two-year warranty; RRP £699) Amazon, iPhone 14 Plus: £629.10 (£169.90 off; RRP £799) John Lewis, iPhone 13: £499 (£100 off, plus two-year warranty; RRP £599) John Lewis, iPhone SE (2022): £379 (£50 off, plus two-year warranty; RRP £429) John Lewis, iPhone 12: £449 (£150 off, plus two-year warranty; RRP was £599 before being discontinued in 2023) For models that Apple no longer sells, bear in mind that we can only compare current prices against RRPs from before their discontinuation. It’s reasonable to assume that the price of the iPhone 14 Pro, for example, would have dropped in September 2023 if Apple hadn’t stopped selling it. There’s more information in the individual sections below. Where to buy an iPhone Apple is the obvious place to look for a new iPhone. You can purchase directly from Apple’s online store (there’s a separate U.K. store), which won’t give you savings, but does at least allow you to take advantage of trading in your old iPhone (see: How to sell or trade-in your old iPhone). We also have a complete guide to every iPhone Apple sells. Alternatively, Amazon U.K. regularly discounts iPhone models, so it’s well worth keeping an eye out there. If you think you’ll be doing lots of Amazon shopping, we’d recommend signing up to the 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime for free next-day delivery and access to deals 30 minutes early. You can sign up here. Amazon U.S. offers fewer savings on SIM-free iPhones, but we do see them from time to time. It’s always worth checking the price of the iPhones in the following U.S. stores, which occasionally provide solid savings: Amazon Walmart Best Buy And U.K. readers should try these shops: Amazon U.K. John Lewis Carphone Warehouse KRCS In addition, we recommend you check out our automatically updated price tables, embedded below, which gather the best prices from a wide range of retailers in your region. Where to buy an iPhone on contract Most of the major networks will offer the iPhone at a discount if you meet certain conditions (usually opening new lines, or buying on multi-year installment plans). Here are links to browse the latest deals: AT&T T-Mobile Verizon U.K. readers can browse contract deals using the tool embedded below. Click ‘Choose Smartphone’ to register which model you’re interested in. If you’d like to research deals for yourself, try the following U.K. providers: O2 Vodafone Three Virgin Mobile EE Sky Mobile Carphone Warehouse (use the comparison tool by clicking View Deals, and remember to tick the box labeled “Show total cost of ownership”) Note that you can save money if you’ve got another iPhone to trade in, see: How to sell or trade in your old iPhone.

Best iPhone 13 deals Apple does still sell the iPhone 13, 2021’s handset, and as with the iPhone 14 the price has been reduced now that the iPhone 15 has arrived. If you buy the iPhone 13 you still get the mega-fast A15 Bionic processor, 5G support, a superb twin-lens camera with the new Smart HDR 4, Cinematic Mode and Photographic Styles, and improved battery performance compared with the iPhone 12.

It also stopped selling the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 mini. When Apple stops selling older iPhones in its store, however, that doesn’t mean they have disappeared entirely; you may find them in Apple’s refurbished store, for example. You may also find older handsets on sale at third-party stores and Apple resellers. We have the best deals for discontinued iPhones below. Best iPhone 14 Pro deals The iPhone 14 Pro is no longer sold by Apple, but if you can get hold of one at a good price, it will still serve you well. It launched as recently as September 2022 and remains a powerful and capable smartphone. Apple previously sold the 14 Pro for $999/£1,099.

You can find the iPhone 13 Pro Max in the following retailers and networks, assuming they haven’t run out of stock. Apple used to sell the 13 Pro Max starting at $1,099/£1,049. You should be looking to spend considerably less than that, however, to reflect the fact that this is now more than two years old.

Given that it cost less (when Apple still sold it, at least) it will be a better option for many readers. Read our iPhone 13 Pro review for detailed analysis and testing. Apple used to sell the 13 Pro for $999/£949.

The smallest iPhone you could buy, although the SE is also on the small side. In most respects, it was identical to the iPhone 13, simply squeezed into a smaller chassis and equipped with a smaller screen and smaller battery. That means you’re getting a great (but non-ProMotion) screen, 5G, a super-fast A15 processor and great cameras with Cinematic Mode. Read our iPhone 13 mini review for more information and expert analysis. Apple no longer sells the iPhone 13 mini, so if it’s what you want you will need to look around. Before it was discontinued in fall 2023, Apple used to sell it for $599/£649 (and before that it cost $699/£679).

In our iPhone 12 review we praised its all-round qualities and suitability for the average buyer who doesn’t need the power of a Pro but won’t settle for a true budget pick like the iPhone SE. Apple no longer sells the the iPhone 12, but when it did, prices started at $599/£649 (down from the $699/£679 charged between September 2021 and 2022). If stock of this older model is still available in your area, the latest SIM-free prices will appear in an automated comparison table below this paragraph.

Apple promises fewer years of iPhone security updates than Samsung and Google on paper, but reality is a different story
Historically, Apple has been hesitant to commit to solid timelines of how long it will support its devices with security and software updates. Now, thanks to a particular UK legal requirement, that has changed. And what the company is promising on paper is surprisingly less than what Samsung and Google commit to—but that’s not the full story. more…

Apple Watch buyers in the U.S. can check out the following stores: Apple Amazon Best Buy Costco Target Walmart If you’re based in the U.K., you can pick up an Apple Watch from the following retailers: Apple Amazon Argos Carphone Warehouse Currys John Lewis KRCS Very Apple Refurbished Store One of our favorite hunting grounds for a tasty iPad deal is the Apple Refurbished Store, where you’ll find iPads with huge discounts. These are items that have been returned, but in most respects you wouldn’t be able to tell. Apple replaces the battery and outer shell of every refurbished iPad, and you’ll still get all of the accessories and manuals that would come with a new model. Plus, you’ll also get the same one-year warranty as you would with a brand-new iPad. The only thing that gives the game away is the box: Apple replaces the original with a white box to prevent people from buying the discounted models and selling them as new. Apple Education Store Don’t forget students can get discounts on iPad devices as a part of Apple’s Education Discount. That concludes our guide to the best iPad deals available right now. But if you’re unsure of which model you should pick up, take a look at our in-depth iPad buying guide. iPad

This 25,000mAh Ugreen Power Bank is just nearly half-off right now
Macworld If you often find yourself frustrated by your iPhone’s lack of battery life, then you’ll love having this Ugreen Power Bank at your disposal. Now available for $84 at Amazon, this 25,000mAh power bank has a retail price of $150, which makes the current discount remarkable. Equipped with 145W fast charging, the Ugreen Power Bank features can deliver a rapid recharge to your devices. Even the mighty battery of a 13-inch MacBook Air can be filled fully in just 90 minutes with this power bank. The same Ugreen gadget will have your smartphone charged up in a blink. Since the Ugreeb Power Bank boasts a massive 25,000mAh battery capacity, you can completely recharge laptops up to 1.3 times and mobile devices up to 5.6 times. It’s the ideal solution for long trips, busy workdays, or any situation where you need reliable power without access to an outlet. I have this exact model, and I can say that it’s a bit heavy at 1.1 pounds, but since it holds that much power, that’s easily “forgiven.” Otherwise, it’s about the size of two smartphones on top of each other, which means it will easily fit in your bag. One of the coolest things about this power bank is that it itself can be charged super fast. So not only can it quickly charge your gadgets, but it can also recharge in about 2 hours, which is rather impressive for such a high capacity. There’s even a smart LED display on the side of the power bank where you can check out how much battery power there’s still left. There are three ports available–two USB-C and one USB-A–but only one, the “Out1” USB-C port, will deliver 100-plus watts. So go ahead and shell out $84 for the Ugreen Power Bank. If you’re not a Prime member just yet, you can always sign up for a free 30-day free trial. Get a 25,000mAh Ugreen Power Bank for $84See deal at Amazon Mobile Phone Chargers

Apple’s AI chatbot won’t be enabled unless you want it
Macworld With just a few days until Apple unveils its newest AI-infused operating system updates, a new report from Bloomberg sheds some light on the partnership Apple has struck with OpenAI—and how Apple plans on safeguarding users. Most notably, the AI features coming to the iPhone are described as an “opt-in service,” meaning users will be prompted to turn it on during setup, much like the “Improve Siri and Dictation” screen. According to Mark Gurman, “wary customers could easily steer clear of them if they’d prefer,” but will also let Apple limit the possibility of “reputational damage from a rogue chatbot.” Gurman says Apple “determined early on that OpenAI and Google were far ahead in chatbots and on-the-fly assistance” though the company is still working on its own competitor to ChatGPT using its in-house Ajax framework. In the meantime, Gurman says Apple “may offer a number of third-party chatbots, but it’s negotiating the deals on a case-by-case basis, according to the people with knowledge of the situation,” though it “believes that OpenAI’s technology is the best available on the market.” For now, it sounds like Siri and this new chatbot will be separate offerings, though it remains to be seen how it will all work. The report claims Apple will use its own AI “to power features like voice memo transcriptions and photo editing, as well as new search capabilities in the Safari web browser and auto-replies in apps like Messages.” Based on the report, it’s likely that these features get prominence over the OpenAI-powered chatbot. Apple will unveil its new AI feature in iOS 18 and macOS 15 during its WWDC keynote on Monday at 10 a.m.  iOS
