Macworld It’s been a wild week of Black Friday deals, with hundreds of dollars off MacBooks, all-time lows on iPads, and AirPods for less than $60. We hope you grabbed everything you wanted, but if you didn’t, there’s one more day of sales before the whole extravaganza ends (until next year). Here are our five favorite remaining Apple deals you can still get before we close the doors on another Black Friday sale: 4-pack of AirTags: $63 ($36 off) Apple’s 4-pack of AirTags has been on sale for under $80 for a while, but they’re down to $63 for Cyber Monday. That’s actually the same price as Black Friday, which works out to just $15.75 per tracker. They’ll provide some peace of mind for all of your non-Apple gear, including bags, keys, and wallets. buy AirTags at Amazon Apple Pencil USB-C: $49 ($30 off) Apple’s line of Pencils has gone from confusing to pretty straightforward—the USB-C Apple Pencil works with every tablet. Normally priced at $79, the USB-C Apple Pencil is an essential accessory at Walmart’s $49 sale, bringing drawing, writing, and navigation to the comfort of a stylus. You’re missing a couple of Pro features here, including wireless charging and pressure sensitivity, but for this price, you won’t miss them. Buy Apple Pencil at Walmart 11-inch iPad Air: $449 ($150 off) The iPad Air has always been the sweet spot of Apple’s tablet lineup, but as the iPad Pro has gotten more expensive, the spot has become even sweeter. And now the price is too. For $449—the same price Apple charged for the 10th-gen with half the storage and a third of the specs—an M3 chip, laminated Liquid Retina display, Wi-Fi 6E, and Apple Intelligence support—the 11-inch iPad is an insane deal at $449. Buy iPad Air at Amazon AirPods 4 with ANC: $99 ($80 off) We were shocked when Apple’s AirPods 4 with ANC dropped to $100 over Black Friday, but now they’re even cheaper. OK, it’s only $1, but still—you can get a pair of AirPods with active noise cancellation for $99 today, a savings of $80 on the MSRP and a ridiculously good price for a fantastic set of buds. Buy AirPods 4 with ANC at Amazon MacBook Air: $749 ($250 off) You don’t ever need to pay Apple’s full $999 MSRP for the entry-level MacBook Air, but if you did, you’d still be getting a great laptop at a very good price. At its Cyber Monday price of $749, you’re getting a great laptop at a ridiculously good price. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a better Mac or PC laptop at a better value, with an M4 processor, 16GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, Touch ID, 18-hour battery life, and much more. Want more RAM or a bigger SSD? Every configuration of M4 MacBook Air is $250 off.

The United States wants big tech companies like Apple to protect children online by adding age verification safeguards to the App Store. It's a political push that completely ignores what protections Apple already provides to parents and children.US lawmakers want more age checks applying to the App Store. There's already a lot of protections in place. Lawmakers have been particularly keen to protect children from online dangers, and have repeatedly demanded big tech companies like Apple and Google do more to help.

In late November, the ASA was brought up in Congress as part of a raft of measures to keep kids safe online, led by the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA).

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.
