Apple Shares Photos Shot on iPhone Duo
Apple on Instagram today shared a curated gallery of six photos shot on the iPhone Duo . The photos were shot by American photographers Jake Michaels and Jason Nocito , as part of a project commissioned by Apple. iPhone Duo is equipped with four cameras: A rear 48-megapixel Fusion Main camera A rear 48-megapixel Ultra Wide camera A front 12-megapixel Center Stage camera in the outer display A front camera under the inner display iPhone Duo lacks a dedicated Telephoto camera, which is a dealbreaker for some customers. The main camera does have optical-quality 2 Telephoto capabilities, but this pales in comparison to the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro models, which can achieve up to 8 optical zoom. Still, the photos shared by Apple prove that the iPhone Duo is still very capable for photography, at least in the hands of skilled photographers. You can pre-order the iPhone Duo starting Friday, October 16 at 5 a.m. Pacific Time.

This $100 iPad is the best way to beat the RAM pricing surge
Macworld Aple iPad 8th Generation 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; }); })(); These days, finding an affordable iPad is darn near impossible. If you want to get one for your kids, then spending a ton of money is definitely not on your to-do list since its likely to get dropped or damaged. Well, weve found a solution: This Apple iPad 8th Gen is only $110 at Woot but if you use code APPLETEN , itll take off another 10 percent, bringing it under $100. Its not new (Woot says its in Grade A Refurbished condition) and wont get the latest features, but its about a third of how much youd pay for a new iPad today. The 10.2-inch Retina display is sharp and bright enough for movies, e-books, and homework apps. Inside, the A12 Bionic chip with Neural Engine was a big upgrade for this model. When it came out, it made the 8th-gen iPad much faster than the version before it, and it still handles games, streaming, and everyday apps without much fuss. Back in 2020, we called it the best affordable tablet you can buy , and thats definitely the case right now. The tablet wont support iOS 27 or Apple Intelligence, but youre getting a perfect device you dont have to worry about when you hand it over. Think about it: Sooner or later, every parent hits the same moment on a long car ride or a rainy Saturday: the kids want your phone, and youd really like it back. A tablet of their own solves that, but handing a pricey new iPad to a seven-year-old is a gamble most of us would rather skip. Well, at $110, you wont wince every time your kid gently puts it on the table. Because its refurbished, youre also giving a perfectly good device a second life instead of buying new, and a landfill somewhere will thank you. Its guaranteed to be free of major dents and dings, plus it comes with a 90-day warranty in cases theres anything wrong with it. For under $100, this older iPad model is an easy pick if you want a kid-friendly first tablet or a simple spare iPad for the house without paying full price.

Leak reveals four colors for Apple
Macworld If the latest reports are correct, were less than two weeks away from Apple revealing its long-rumored home hub device. If youre excited about it and already making plans on how to incorporate it into your home, then youll appreciate the latest report that reveals the colors of the new device. According to a post by itspdfu (who has previously posted leaks that have panned out), Apple will offer four colors for the new device: Rose Pink, Silver, Space Gray, and Starlight. The information was gleaned from a feature itspdfu discovered called Photo Face, which displays four background colors that seemingly match the color of the device. Apples Home device may come in four finishes: Silver, Space Gray, Starlight, and Rose Pink. The Photo Face setup screen picks its preview art based on the hardware color the device reports. The devices housing may also show in setup screens once device assets are available. https://t.co/8h4iF9OEsG pic.twitter.com/oRRTijUdkO pdfu (@itspdfu) October 1, 2026 Notably missing from the color choices is black, but Space Gray could come close enough, depending on the shade Apple uses. Starlight is a light bronze finish that has been offered on the MacBook Air, iPad, and AirPods Max. Apple has offered Rose Gold and Pink devices in the past, but Rose Pink is a new name. However, there were rumors that the iPhone 13 Pro Max was going to come in Rose Pink, but that color never shipped. The Home hub is expected to have a 6-inch display and come in two forms: a design reminiscent of the iMac G4, and another that is mounted to a wall. Its not clear if Apple will reveal the new smart home products at an event, but rumors point to October 13 as a possible launch date.

Apple's iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max models come in four distinct color options, so which should you choose? The iPhone 18 Pro models come in Black, Silver, Glacier, and Burgundy. The aluminum and glass backs are more closely matched than on the iPhone 17 Pro, although the different materials remain somewhat visible. You should also consider if you plan to use a case with your device and, if so, which one. The iPhone 18 Pro's large, full-width camera plateau stands out on most cases, exposing more of the device's color. Choosing a complimentary color should be your first priority. Burgundy Burgundy is the most distinct and expressive iPhone 18 Pro finish, and it is much darker than the iPhone 17 Pro's equivalent Cosmic Orange. It looks closer to wine or plum than a vivid red. Burgundy is the standout shade in the iPhone 18 Pro lineup, designed to be bold and attention-grabbing. It is the most noticeable iPhone 18 Pro color, and the most likely to indicate that you have the latest generation devicethere has never been an iPhone color option like it before. Apple offers Burgundy Silicone and TechWoven cases if you want the phone and case to look closely coordinated. With a contrasting case, the large, exposed plateau becomes a prominent patch of red-purple. That is worth considering if you like to change between bright case colors: Burgundy will remain part of every combination. A clear case shows more of the finish, although Apple's white MagSafe ring covers part of the back. Burgundy is the clearest way to distinguish this generation by color, but anyone hoping for a bright red iPhone may be disappointed. Choose Burgundy if you want a distinctive, dark color that remains noticeable even when the phone is in a case. Glacier Glacier is a cool, pale blue that gives the iPhone a much softer look than Burgundy. It is much lighter than the iPhone 17 Pro's Deep Blue, yet it does not disappear into Silver; in-person , it still looks distinctly blue. Glacier is a useful middle ground if you want gentle color with some saturation, without making it the strongest feature of the phone. The exposed camera plateau gives an opaque case a light blue accent, while a clear case reveals most of the finish. Apple's clear case has a large white MagSafe ring, however, so it does not leave the back completely unobstructed. Apple sells blue cases in shades such as Crisp Blue and Chambray Blue, but neither is named Glacier. If you want the case and phone to match precisely, it may be best to compare them in person; otherwise, a clear or neutral case lets Glacier stand on its own. Choose Glacier if you want an iPhone with a fresh, subtle, and light appearance. Silver Silver is the most classic, versatile, and timeless option, but also the most practical. The finish gives off a clean and bright look that pairs well with virtually any case or wallpaper, and it reflects light more than the other three colors, making it quite neutral. Its aluminum has a metallic sheen that leans toward white in some lighting conditions. This year, the two rear materials are the same tone, making the new model look much more cohesive than the two-tone Silver iPhone 17 Pro. Silver is also the most adaptable color for cases. The exposed silver plateau provides a crisp, light accent against a dark case and sits more quietly beside a pale one. The color is likely to age well since it goes well with any case and embodies Apple's most traditional colors. It is also the only finish of the three that pairs well with Apple's own clear case. The clear case's white MagSafe ring is less of a visual interruption here than it is against Black or Burgundy. If you frequently change cases, Silver is unlikely to compete with your next choice. Unlike Burgundy or Black, Silver minimizes the appearance of damage. When the anodized layer chips or scratches, the raw aluminum underneath is very close in tone, so imperfections blend in far better. For users who prioritize long-term durability of appearance, Silver is the most forgiving finish. It may not be as dramatic as Burgundy or as sleek as Black, but it is the safest choice for maintaining a like-new look over years of use. Choose Silver if you want a classic, flexible look that mitigates the signs of damage. Black Black returns after the iPhone 17 Pro offered Deep Blue as its darkest option. It offers a dark, neutral look without Deep Blue's blue cast. A black case makes the exposed camera plateau blend into the rest of the phone. A light or colorful case has the opposite effect, framing a broad dark section across the top. Apple's clear case also makes its white MagSafe ring particularly noticeable against Black, so it is less suited to an uninterrupted all-black look. If a deep chip or scratch exposes bare aluminum, its lighter color would stand out against this finish, especially on the plateau that Apple's cases leave uncovered. Anyone using the device without a case should be prepared for more noticeable damage. If visible marks would bother you and you plan to go without a case, Silver may be a better fit. Choose Black if you want a dark, stealthy, and professional look, but be willing to accept signs of wear and tear.

Samsung Launches Galaxy Buds On: Open-Ear Clip Earbuds With Gemini Live
Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy Buds On , marking the global technology brands first entry into the open-ear clip-on wireless earbuds market. Engineered to prioritize long-term wearing comfort and situational awareness during outdoor athletic activities, the earbuds utilize an open acoustic architecture that leaves the ear canal completely unobstructed for extended daily listening sessions without causing physical ear fatigue. To ensure structural stability across diverse ear anatomies, Samsung conducted extensive anatomical simulations and demographic data analysis to balance internal speaker and battery component mass. The ergonomic clip-on chassis distributes clamping pressure evenly, providing a reliable, secure grip during rigorous workouts and high-movement sports. Internally, the hardware is powered by Qualcomms Snapdragon S7 Gen 1 Sound Platform , delivering highly efficient digital audio processing and up to 9.5 hours of continuous music playback on a single battery charge. Acoustic performance directly addresses traditional open-ear challenges through custom TwinBoost speakers , which reinforce low-frequency bass output often compromised in non-occluding designs. An integrated automatic volume control dynamically recalibrates gain levels according to changing ambient environmental noise conditions. To maintain personal privacy in quiet settings such as offices or libraries, dedicated Audio Leakage Reduction technology minimizes external sound dispersion. For telecommunications, the earbuds integrate a triple-microphone array , a bone-conduction Voice Pickup Sensor , and Intelligent Clear Call algorithms to isolate human speech from disruptive environmental background noise. Smart software features form a central pillar of the overall device experience. The earbuds support native Gemini Live integration, enabling natural, real-time conversational assistance via hands-free voice triggers. Users can record instant voice memos through a long-press capacitive gesture, with Samsungs Bixby indexing these recordings for future voice-based search retrieval. Additionally, built-in intuitive head gesture controls allow users to accept or decline incoming phone calls, dismiss morning alarms, and review smartphone notifications using natural head movements without manual touch input. In terms of new releases by the South Korean giant, also check out the Galaxy Tab S12 Series . Availability and Price The Galaxy Buds On will launch first in South Korea on October 27, 2026 , priced at KRW 299,000 (roughly $220 ). Samsung plans to expand broad commercial retail availability to other international markets in subsequent scheduled rollout phases worldwide.

NVIDIA DLSS 5 Can Now Run On Unsupported GPUs Via Custom Mod
Independent software engineer and developer Andrew Sampson has released a custom implementation of DLSS 5 Neural Rendering and Frame Generation within the Borderless Gaming utility, enabling advanced artificial intelligence visual reconstruction and upscaling on graphics processing units lacking official NVIDIA support. The community-driven software integration effectively expands modern machine learning graphics enhancements across diverse PC hardware categories bypassed by standard proprietary platform hardware restrictions. Operating directly through a specialized compositor-level BGFX frame capture framework, the utility functions seamlessly without invoking official proprietary NVIDIA software libraries, tampering with local game installation directories, or manually swapping internal dynamic link library (DLL) runtime dependencies. By capturing and intercepting graphical frames directly at the desktop compositor layer , the utility ensures broad operational compatibility across multiple game engines without modifying protected core system installation files. To achieve functional performance across uncertified PC hardware, Sampson quantized the underlying machine learning model and systematically eliminated architectural bottlenecks across the neural network pipeline . These aggressive software optimizations allow the neural rendering framework to execute reliably on a significantly wider array of consumer graphics cards. For instance, unsupported legacy GPUs such as the GeForce RTX 3090 can execute the rendering pipeline, sustaining around 30 frames per second depending on individual video game complexity and target display resolutions. The integrated Frame Generation capability relies on an independently trained machine learning model conditioned on tens of thousands of hours of continuous interactive gameplay footage . This broad training dataset eliminates the requirement for per-title developer patches, community driver hooks, or customized profile configurations. Additionally, the system does not run automatically out of the box, ensuring that dormant shader assets consume zero background computing resources when inactive. Distribution occurs via an open-source post-processing shader hosted on GitHub . Users incorporate the technology by entering the direct repository URL into the Borderless Gaming management interface. Once properly initialized, the software provides extensive user-facing controls to fine-tune detailed image characteristics. Players can adjust key rendering parameters, including effect intensity , structural detail , ambient lighting , artistic style , and internal processing resolution, to balance visual fidelity against operational rendering latency.

Photon Studio: Meet The Free Photoshop Rival With Local AI And No Subscriptions
A new open-access desktop software competitor to Adobe Photoshop has officially launched without recurring subscription fees, artificial intelligence credit tokens, or paid perpetual licenses. Developed by Tenzen Studio , Photon Studio is a completely free image-editing application that successfully attracted over $1,279 in community donations within its first three days of commercial public release. Available natively across Windows , Linux , and macOS platforms, the software does not present in-app purchases, paid tier upgrades, or restrictive feature paywalls during everyday professional workflows. To ease the digital transition for creators switching from legacy editing suites, Photon Studio provides full native compatibility with standard Photoshop .psd project files . It also mirrors Photoshops established interface architecture, keyboard shortcuts, multi-layer handling , layer masks , and professional color adjustment workflows within a sleek, customizable, and fully multilingual operating environment. Photon Studio, fully featured photoshop alternative, is now on Microsoft Store, and for Free! 41% of the user base of photon are windows users, now you can install it directly from the store. Link in the comments pic.twitter.com/mkUzMv5DAu Tenzen Studio (@tenzenstudio) September 30, 2026 Performance optimization stands as a primary engineering focus for the developer. In comparative technical evaluations, the application consumes 41% less RAM than Photoshop. Furthermore, it consistently records cold startup and active project load times roughly twice as fast as Affinity , an alternative creative suite traditionally recognized for lightweight hardware resource demands. https://tenzen.studio/assets/videos/photon_hero.mp4 A central cornerstone of the applications foundational design philosophy is strict user privacy . Tenzen Studio formally guarantees that imported personal creative user images are never uploaded to remote cloud servers or harvested to train external neural networks. Instead, smart object selection , universal function search, and assistive generative utilities execute entirely on-device using efficient local AI models installed directly onto the host PC. https://tenzen.studio/assets/videos/photon_layers.mp4 While early public builds show reliable operational stability, a few minor issues remain evident. These early drawbacks include occasional untranslated menu strings, inconsistent behavior when applying complex advanced masks , and reduced UI fluidity across busy canvas projects containing hundreds of independent graphical elements. Tenzen Studio has publicly committed to addressing these specific edge cases in imminent routine software maintenance patches to enhance overall system responsiveness. Download Photon Studio is available for immediate download as a free standalone installer through the official Tenzen Studio website and can also be acquired directly via the Microsoft Store on modern Windows machines.

What will Paris firm change at Ahmedabad's Sabarmati Ashram? 23 museums and a Parisian vision
Highlights: Paris-based Museum Studio is designing 23 museums at Sabarmati Ashram. The redevelopment project spans nearly 50 acres along the Sabarmati River. Research on Gandhi's 19171930 years at the ashram began in January. The proposed displays include digital exhibits, murals, sculptures and audiovisual content. The project aims to introduce Gandhi's principles to a new generation. For decades, Sabarmati Ashram has stood as a reminder of Mahatma Gandhis simple lifestyle and his role in Indias freedom struggle. Its modest surroundings, spinning wheel, and association with the Dandi March have made it a landmark of Indias history. Now, the historic site is preparing for a significant transformation, with plans for 23 museums that could change how visitors experience Gandhis life and legacy. A Paris-based firm, Museum Studio, is designing the museums in collaboration with Ecofirst, a Tata group subsidiary. The project is part of a redevelopment initiative that seeks to expand the ashram into a major visitor destination while preserving its historical significance. The design of the museums is being done by Museum Studio of Paris, and they have a consortium partner, a subsidiary of Tata Engineering Services called Ecofirst. They are the curators, said an official closely associated with the project, as reported by PTI on Thursday (1). From a quiet retreat to a 50-acre redevelopment iStock Established by Gandhi in 1917, Sabarmati Ashram served as his home during a defining period of the independence movement. It was here that he lived simply, experimented with community life and prepared for the historic Dandi March. The Gujarat government launched the redevelopment project in 2021, envisioning a transformed ashram spread across nearly 50 acres along the Sabarmati River. The Mahatma Gandhi Sabarmati Ashram Memorial Trust oversees the project. Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel heads its governing council, while retired IAS officer I.P. Gautam leads its executive council. The redevelopment is being carried out with the vision and inspiration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, according to the official. Four months of research to tell Gandhis story Before the design work began, a Tata research team spent four months studying Gandhis life at the ashram between 1917 and 1930. The findings were presented to a content advisory committee at a meeting on April 21. The committee brings together museum professionals, historians and experts in Gandhian literature. Its members include Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman Harivansh Narayan Singh, philanthropist Rajshree Birla, National Commission for Scheduled Castes Chairman Kishor Makwana, Gujarat Vidyapith Vice Chancellor Dr. Harshad Patel, museum professionals Sabyasachi Mukherjee and Rajarama Yagnik, Indian Institute of Heritage Pro-Vice-Chancellor Dr. Manvi Seth, and historian Rizwan Qadri. After further discussions in July and August, the content plan was finalized and sent to Paris for design. From South Africa to the banks of the Sabarmati The museums will focus on Gandhis years in India, particularly the period when he brought ideas and experiments from South Africa to Sabarmati. We are trying to emphasise Mahatma Gandhi's stay from 1915 to 1930, those 15 years, because Mahatma ji extended his learnings from Tolstoy Farm in South Africa here. He repeated that experiment and turned lakhs of people into Gandhians, the official said. The planned exhibitions are expected to explore this formative chapter of Gandhis life and the community he built around his principles. Getty Images Will technology reshape the visitor experience? The proposed museums could bring together a range of formats, from traditional displays to digital storytelling. Plans include audiovisual presentations, digital exhibits, murals, and sculptures. But the designs are still subject to review. Experts from the National Institute of Design will examine the proposals to ensure they reflect the historical and cultural context of Gandhis life. Once the designs receive approval, Ecofirst will handle the curation, with the Indian Institute of Heritage supervising the process to ensure that the exhibitions remain consistent with the approved design. The challenge lies in balancing innovation with the spirit of a place known for its simplicity. How the new museums will integrate with the existing ashram remains an important part of the projects unfolding story. Preserving values for a new generation For all the planned changes, the projects stated ambition goes beyond architecture and technology. Its central purpose is to introduce Gandhis ideas to younger visitors and make them relevant to contemporary audiences. It is a collective effort involving experts in literature, museums, design, and communication. Ultimately, we want to convey Gandhiji's principles, truth, non-violence, non-possession, and non-cooperation to the new generation, the official said. As the designs take shape in Paris, Sabarmati Ashram stands at the threshold of a new chapter. The question is not only what the 23 museums will look like, but also how they will preserve the experience of a place whose historical significance has long rested on its simplicity.

Best time to buy AirPods in 2026: Buy now or wait?
Macworld If youre planning to buy AirPods, timing your purchase can make a big difference to how much you pay. Apple rarely discounts AirPods itself, but retailers frequently cut prices particularly around Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday. October 2026 is an interesting time to buy because Apple has recently refreshed much of the range. The AirPods 5 launched in September 2026, joining the AirPods Pro 3 , introduced in September 2025, and the AirPods Max 2 , which arrived earlier in 2026. That means there is relatively little reason to wait for an imminent replacement if you want one of Apples current range of AirPods . There is, however, a very good reason to wait a few days if youre reading this at the beginning of October: Amazons October Prime Day sale takes place on October 6 and 7, and AirPods regularly receive substantial discounts during major sales events. In this guide well explain when the best time is to buy each AirPods model, whether you should buy now or wait, which older AirPods are worth considering at clearance prices, and the times of year when youre most likely to find a bargain. When to buy AirPods: At a glance When AirPods 5 AirPods Pro 3 AirPods Max 2 October 2026 Buy during Prime Day Buy during Prime Day WaBuy during Prime Day November 2026 Buy during Black Friday sales Buy during Black Friday sales Buy during Black Friday sales December 2026 Buy Buy Buy Early 2027 Buy Buy Buy Best AirPods deals right now U.S. AirPods Pro 3 : $234 ($15 off, MSRP $249) AirPods 5: $129 ($0 off, MSRP $129) AirPods Max 2: $479 ($80 off, MSRP $549) U.K. AirPods Pro 3 : 200 (19 off, RRP 219) AirPods Max 1 : 424 Clearance What is the worst time to buy AirPods? The worst time to buy AirPods is generally immediately before a major sale, or just before Apple replaces the model youre considering. Thats particularly relevant right now. Amazons October Prime Day sale takes place on October 6 and 7, so paying full price for AirPods just a few days before the sale would make little sense unless you need them immediately. What is the best time to buy AirPods? Major sales events are generally the best time to buy AirPods. Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday are particularly worth watching because Apples headphones and earbuds frequently receive significant retailer discounts. The savings can be substantial. AirPods Pro 3 have previously dropped from their $249 MSRP to $169, while AirPods Max 2 have already been available for $399 rather than $549. That doesnt mean you should never buy between sales. If the AirPods you want are already close to their historical low, theres little reason to wait simply because another sales event will eventually arrive. Should you buy AirPods now or wait? For most people, yes but wait for Prime Day if you can Foundry For most people, October 2026 is a good time to buy AirPods but wait until the October 67 Prime Day sale if you can. Apple has recently refreshed the standard AirPods and AirPods Max ranges, while AirPods Pro 3 are only around a year old. That removes much of the risk that comes with buying immediately before a product refresh. The bigger question is therefore not whether a new generation is about to arrive, but whether you can get the current model at a good price. Read our AirPods Buying Guide to understand how the different AirPods compare and find out which is best for you. Model Our advice AirPods 5 Buy, but wait for Prime Day if possible AirPods Pro 3 Buy, particularly when discounted AirPods Max 2 Buy only if you specifically want Apples over-ear headphones; look for a substantial discount AirPods 4 Clearance purchase only AirPods Pro 2 Consider only at a significant discount Should you buy AirPods 5 now or wait? Buy but wait for a Prime Day discount if you can. We recommend: Apple AirPods 5 Price When Reviewed: $129 Best Prices Today: $129 at Amazon | $129 at Apple | $129 at B&H The AirPods 5 only arrived in September 2026, so theres little reason to wait for another generation. They are also much easier to recommend than the AirPods 4 they replace because Active Noise Cancellation is now standard. AirPods 5 start at $129 with a USB-C charging case. Apple also sells a $149 version with a Wireless Charging Case, which adds wireless charging, a speaker for Find My, volume adjustment by swiping the stems and slightly longer battery life. The new generation also brings improved sound and stronger noise cancellation. Apple says AirPods 5 remove up to 50 percent more external noise than AirPods 4 with ANC. We think the $149 Wireless Charging Case version is the better choice for most buyers because it costs only $20 more and adds several useful features. Our recommendation : Buy AirPods 5 if you prefer an open-ear design. If you arent in a hurry, wait until Prime Day on October 67 to see whether either version is discounted. Should you buy AirPods Pro 3 now or wait? Buy particularly if you find them well below $249. We recommend: Apple AirPodsPro 3 Price When Reviewed: $249 Best Prices Today: $229 at Best Buy US | $234 at Amazon | $235 at B&H AirPods Pro 3 launched in September 2025 and remain Apples most capable earbuds. They improve on AirPods Pro 2 with a more comfortable and secure fit, stronger noise cancellation, improved battery life and a heart-rate sensor. They also have a significant battery-life advantage over AirPods 5, lasting up to eight hours with ANC enabled compared with four or five hours for the two AirPods 5 packages. AirPods Pro 3 additionally support Apples Hearing Test, Hearing Aid and Hearing Protection features. Their $249 price is much higher than the $129/$149 AirPods 5, but discounts can dramatically narrow that gap. AirPods Pro 3 have previously fallen as low as $169, making sales events particularly attractive times to buy. Our recommendation : Buy if you want the strongest noise isolation, longer battery life, a secure in-ear fit or Apples health and hearing features. At full price, compare carefully with AirPods 5; at a substantial discount, AirPods Pro 3 become much more compelling. Should you buy AirPods Max 2 now or wait? Buy if you specifically want AirPods Max but look for a discount rather than paying $549. We recommend: Apple AirPods Max 2 Price When Reviewed: $549 Best Prices Today: $479 at Walmart | $495 at Best Buy US | $509.99 at Amazon AirPods Max 2 are relatively new, so waiting for an imminent replacement isnt the main concern. The bigger issue is value. The second-generation model adds the H2 chip and features including Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, Voice Isolation and Live Translation. Sound quality, Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode remain excellent. However, our review found that Apple failed to address several longstanding complaints, including the headphones weight, Smart Case and inability to be switched off manually. That makes the price particularly important. AirPods Max 2 cost $549, but the updated Prime Day roundup has already recorded a $399 deal $150 below MSRP. Our recommendation : Dont wait because Apple isnt expected to update the AirPods Max soon. Instead, wait for a good discount unless you particularly want them immediately. Should you buy AirPods 4? Only at a substantial clearance discount. We recommend: Apple AirPods 4 (with ANC) Price When Reviewed: $179 with Active Noise Cancelation Best Prices Today: $89 at Walmart | $149 at B&H | $149.99 at Best Buy AirPods 5 have replaced AirPods 4 and now include Active Noise Cancellation as standard while starting at the same $129 MSRP previously charged for AirPods 4 without ANC. That makes older AirPods 4 difficult to recommend unless retailers cut their prices significantly. The standard model fell to $99 during Prime Day, but now that AirPods 5 cost $129, wed want to see an even lower clearance price before choosing the older generation. Our recommendation : Buy the ANC equipped version only if the price is exceptionally low. Should you buy AirPods Pro 2? Only at a significant discount. We recommend: AirPods Pro 2 USB-C Price When Reviewed: $249 Best Prices Today: $173.99 at Walmart | $239 at Best Buy US | $249 at Apple AirPods Pro 2 are still capable earbuds, but AirPods Pro 3 improve the fit, battery life and noise cancellation and add heart-rate sensing. The older model can still make sense if retailers are clearing stock at a sufficiently low price. But the closer its price gets to a discounted pair of AirPods Pro 3, the less attractive it becomes. Our recommendation : Consider AirPods Pro 2 only if theyre substantially cheaper than AirPods Pro 3 and you dont need the newer models heart-rate feature. Should you buy older or refurbished AirPods? Screenshot Foundry Older AirPods can make sense when retailers are clearing stock, but compare the price with the model that replaced them rather than focusing on the percentage discount from the original MSRP. You should also be careful when buying an older generation simply because it appears heavily discounted. The percentage saving can be misleading if the replacement model offers significantly more for a similar price. AirPods 5, for example, start at the same $129 price originally charged for AirPods 4 without ANC, but now include Active Noise Cancellation as standard. You should be particularly cautious when buying AirPods from marketplaces or unfamiliar sellers. Counterfeit AirPods can closely resemble genuine products, and unusually low prices particularly on second-hand marketplaces can be a warning sign. If youre considering an older model, check the exact generation, charging case and condition, and make sure the seller is reputable. When does Apple release new AirPods? Unlike the iPhone, AirPods dont follow a simple annual update schedule. AirPods Pro 3 launched in September 2025, AirPods Max 2 followed in 2026, and Apple introduced AirPods 5 in September 2026. Because the three main AirPods families have all been updated relatively recently, the current lineup doesnt present the obvious wait because a replacement is imminent problem that sometimes occurs with Apple products.

More evidence emerges of an imminent Apple device launch
Macworld Following a report Wednesday that Apple is planning to launch three new smart-home products on October 13, more evidence has emerged to indicate that something is indeed coming soon. According to a report from MacRumors , Apple retail stores have received packages that arent to be opened until October 8. The site claims it has multiple sources that confirm Apple Stores around the world have received confidential boxes with instructions to not open them until October 8. The boxes appear to contain new visual merchandise, which enables workers to update labels, graphics, and product layouts in stores around the release of new products. Of course, Apple is also launching the iPhone Duo this month, with in-store availability beginning on October 23. However, as MacRumors notes, its unlikely that there would be secrecy around those displays, as the product has already been announced and new store displays are very much expected to go up around that time. Weve heard about stores receiving displays ahead of events and launches before, but its rare for Apple Stores to get information about new devices before the general public. So if the report is accurate, a date of October 8 would indicate that Apple plans to announce something next week rather than, or in addition to, October 13. Its also worth noting that Apple Stores dont generally advertise new products until theyre available for purchase or at least on display. So if stores are changing their signage for October 9, it would indicate that something new will be available. Apple is expected to launch at least three new smart-home devices, including an updated Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini, as well as a new smart-home hub . Its not uncommon for Apple to space out announcements on multiple days when there isnt an official event.
Tenways has launched a Holiday Season Warmup Sale with up to $905 savings on three e-bikes, as well as an extra $100 savings when buying two, and the usual $150 extra savings for military, first responders, medical providers, and teachers. The most premium of the included models is the AGO X Mid-Drive All-Terrain e-bike with a FREE $405 bundle at $1,999 shipped . Weve mostly been seeing it taken down to this same rate throughout 2026, with some rare falls further to the $1,899 low. At this price, this is the largest bundle inclusion weve seen this year, with it usually only coming with a $307 bundle, but youre getting a FREE bumbag and travel coffee cup thrown in, too.

LG Free Xbox Controller Promo Ends Oct 4
LG.com is running a real calendar deadline, not a vague while supplies last shrug: buy one eligible TV or StanbyME screen plus one eligible Xbox controller in the same cart, and five Wireless Controllers drop to $0 as an instant discount. The promo ends October 4, 2026 . LG does not publish an end clock or timezone, so treat that date as the calendar cut and re-check the cart if you wait until late on the 4th. The trap is model lists: Only six displays qualify : 65QNED7SBUA, 65QNED75BUA, OLED48C6PUA, OLED42C6PUA, 32LX6BWGA (StanbyME 2 MAX), and 27LX6TYGA (StanbyME 2). Sibling sizes and the rest of the OLED/QNED lines are out. Controllers that go free (savings equal to the pads price) are EP229563 Storm Breaker ($79.99), EP229571 Ice Breaker ($79.99), EP229935 Pulse Red ($69.99), EP229919 Robot White ($64.99), and EP229929 Carbon Black ($64.99). The Elite Series 2 Core (4IK00001, $149.99) is only $50 off, not free. Pick that SKU by mistake and you still pay roughly $100 before tax. How to claim it is boring and strict. Open https://www.lg.com/us/promotions/tv-xbox-controller-offer Put one listed screen and one listed pad in one LG.com transaction Confirm the discount appears before checkout There is no promo code. LG.com is the only path stated. Best Buy, Amazon, and in-store are not on the terms. The offer cannot combine with other special programs. Controllers are non-returnable third-party Microsoft products. Cancel or return part of the order and LG voids the promo, then claws the controller value (or the $50 discount) back out of the TV refund. Its likely that a lot of people will screenshot free Xbox controller, click a 55-inch C6 or a random QNED, and wonder why the cart still shows full price. If you were already shopping one of those six screens, this is a clean extra. If you were not, do not stretch the TV buy just for a $65-$80 pad. Act before October 4, match the SKUs, and watch the Elite Core line so free does not become a $50 surprise. LG Free Xbox Controller Promo Ends Oct 4 , original content from Ubergizmo .
