GUNNAR Fallout Vault 33 Glasses Hit $69.76 on Amazon
Amazon has GUNNARs officially licensed Amazon Studios Fallout Vault 33 glasses at $62.99 right now, thats 36% off the $99 list, and in stock. It looks even cheaper than the official press release was hinting (33% vs 36%). There is no end clock on the Amazon product page. Secondary coverage frames an Oct 6-22, 2026 window for that deal, but that is media framing, not a timestamp Amazon prints. Treat $62.99 as live while it is listed. These are officially licensed Amazon Studios Fallout glasses: retro-futuristic square frames with side shields, G-Shield Plus coatings, and Amber lenses marketed as blocking 65% of blue light at 450nm plus 100% UV (brand claims). Official GUNNAR specs put them at about 20 g, with a collectors case, pouch, and cloth in the box. I tried an editor sample (not a lab test). Build quality felt solid. The glass is mildly reflective if you plan on streaming with these. In bright sunlight, they tame glare without being actual sunglasses and felt very comfortable (the sample I used had a yellow tint). At the time of publishing, Amazon was slightly cheaper at $69.76 ( affiliate link to Amazon Amber tint) The brand-site promo clock runs Oct 6, 2026 9:00 AM PST through Nov 22, 2026 9:00 AM PST. Something to look for: Sale purchases are final and non-returnable (warranty exchanges OK).

New Apple TV 4K, HomeView, and HomePod Mini: 16 Details Just Leaked
Just two days before Apple's Welcome home experience in New York, Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman has leaked several details about the new products set to be unveiled, including an all-new smart home hub, a HomePod mini 2, and a new Apple TV 4K. Here is an all-in-one summary of the details shared by Gurman: Apple's home hub with a touch-enabled display will be named HomeView, seemingly confirming a trademark filing discovered by MacRumors . HomeView is equipped with an A18 chip, which has 8GB of RAM in iPhones. HomeView will support Siri AI for voice control. HomeView will be available in a tabletop version with a speaker base made of metal, as well as a wall-mounted version with a flat, square wall plate. The tabletop HomeView will offer etter sound quality than the HomePod mini. The tabletop HomeView will be available in four finishes: Gray, Silver, Starlight, and Rose. The wall-mounted version will be limited to Gray and Silver. HomeView will be unveiled this Tuesday, October 13, but the device is apparently not launching until around mid-November. HomeView will have a selection of Apple apps, but no App Store for third-party apps. HomeView will be accompanied by an Apple Home Collection of accessories that brands such as LG and Schneider Electric developed in partnership with Apple. This will include a smart doorbell, deadbolt lock, thermostat, temperature sensor, indoor and outdoor security cameras, and a floodlight camera. LG's accessories for the HomeView will not ship until later this year at the earliest. The new HomePod mini will be equipped with the Apple Watch Series 10's S10 chip, up from the S5 chip in the current model. The new HomePod mini will be available in green, pink, blue, white, and midnight. The new Apple TV 4K will be equipped with an A19 chip, which has 8GB of RAM. The new Apple TV 4K may have built-in microphones for Siri AI. The new Apple TV 4K may have an updated Siri Remote with a built-in speaker that makes it easier to find. The new HomePod mini and Apple TV 4K models will be unveiled on October 13 and launch on Friday, October 30.

Apple Plans Major iPhone Duo Retail Showcase, But Supply Will Be Limited
Apple is preparing new displays and large numbers of demo units for the iPhone Duo 's October 23 launch, but supply will be limited, according to Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman . Ahead of the October 23 launch, Apple plans to set aside a section of its Fifth Avenue flagship store for the iPhone Duo. Most locations will add an extra spotlight table for the device, using Apple's white display tables with central posts. Gurman said a new fixture will show how the phone folds and unfolds. The number of demonstration devices will vary considerably between locations. Fifth Avenue in New York is expected to receive more than 150 units for customers to try and for other displays, compared with nearly 100 at the Apple Park Visitor Center. Non-flagship stores will receive approximately 20 units each on average. Three other prominent stores will fall between those allocations: Chicago's Michigan Avenue, The Grove in Los Angeles, and Manhattan's Upper West Side. Each is expected to have approximately 30 to 40 devices. Visitors will be able to explore StandBy on untethered phones in the Avenue display areas along the sides of stores. For comparisons on store tables, Apple has designed a MagSafe stand that accommodates an open iPhone Duo and two conventional iPhones. The retail preparations come as Apple faces tighter supply than it had anticipated. According to Gurman, around two months ago the company believed production constraints could prevent sales from starting until later in November. It has since assembled sufficient inventory to proceed with this month's release, although stock is expected to remain limited. Apple is also equipping stores with Presto machines adapted for the iPhone Duo. Apple's wireless system can install software updates without opening an iPhone's packaging, and will also add the buyer's name to the greeting displayed during the device's first startup. Gurman previously said the personalized greeting will be offered in U.S. Apple Stores in English and Spanish. iPhone Duo pre-orders open October 16 at 5 a.m. Pacific Time, with sales starting on October 23. The 256GB model starts at $1,999 in the United States.

Apple's new Apple TV 4K will be powered by a standard A19 chip, up from the A15 in the current 2022 model, reports Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman. Writing in his Power On newsletter , Gurman also said Apple has tested a refreshed Siri Remote with a speaker to make it easier to find between couch cushions. Apple has also tested built-in microphones for the Apple TV 4K to let users query Siri without the remote or a paired HomePod, though whether this feature and the new Siri Remote will come with the shipping device appears unconfirmed. The new Apple TV 4K arrives in stores on October 30 alongside the new HomePod mini. Apple is expected to unveil both at Tuesday's Welcome home event.

Apple HomeView Smart Hub to Ship in Mid-November in Four Colors
Apple's all-new smart home hub, the HomeView, will ship around mid-November, roughly a month after its unveiling at Apple's Welcome home October 13 event, according to Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman. HomeView concept image Writing in the latest edition of his Power On newsletter , Gurman said the HomeView, at least as of now, will follow the launch of the new Apple TV 4K and new HomePod mini models, which will arrive to customers and in stores on October 30 . The HomeView will be positioned as the Siri command center of an Apple-powered home, pairing a display with an A18 chip. It will come in two versions, including a countertop model with a metal speaker base, offered in space gray, silver, starlight and pink, and a wall-mounted version with a flat, square base, limited to space gray and silver. The HomeView will offer better sound quality than the new HomePod mini, according to Gurman. The device is controlled primarily by voice, though its screen supports touch input. It supports a limited selection of Apple applications, and there will be no dedicated App Store for it. The HomeView name first appeared in a trademark filing by a shell company, a discovery reported on Friday by MacRumors and credited by Gurman. The view part of the name is said to reflect how the device is meant to be used, in the sense that it's a display that people look at and control mainly with their voice.

Rumor: Apple to Announce New Partnership With ADT
Apple may be planning to announce a new partnership with home security company ADT, alongside the introduction of its all-new smart home hub , according to several clues. Apple has invited the media to a Welcome home experience in New York on Tuesday, October 13 , so the partnership could be made official on that day. Since around July, ADT has posted Low Voltage Technician job listings in various U.S. cities, but those hired for the position so far have been provided with very few details about their specific responsibilities. In recent months, some of these people said they have primarily been shadowing other ADT technicians while they await further information. In addition, some of the employees and their managers said they signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) related to the role. This high level of secrecy is very common for Apple. Another potential giveaway is that ADT has provided these new hires with iPhones for work, whereas its other technicians have received Android devices. A third clue is that some of the new hires said ADT finally plans to share more details about the role later this month, so the company may be waiting for Apple to announce its smart home hub on Tuesday. Apple is also expected to unveil an ecosystem of third-party smart home accessories it developed in partnership with brands such as LG . One of the new hires said ADT initially planned to provide details about the role in September, but later delayed this timeframe until October. This would be consistent with reports that Apple has postponed the announcement of its home hub multiple times, as Siri AI was not ready. The revamped version of Siri finally launched last month. In addition to Siri AI, the home hub will reportedly offer smart home accessory management, home security monitoring, photo faces and galleries, an overview of calendar appointments, music playback, FaceTime video calling, and more. The hub will reportedly be available in a tabletop version with a speaker base and a wall-mounted version. Some of the new hires who asked their managers about the secretive role were told that it will apparently relate to home automation and in-home installation services, so perhaps Apple will announce an option for customers to have an ADT technician professionally install the wall-mounted home hub or the related accessories from LG. It is unclear if Apple's partnership with ADT would extend to home security monitoring. ADT already reached a home security partnership with Google in 2023 , but it reportedly dropped some features that it offered on Google Nest devices earlier this year. A few people familiar with the matter told us that ADT's agreement with Google either already expired this year or will expire next year and is not set to be renewed. If this is true, then it would pave the way for ADT to reach a partnership with another tech giant: Apple. Keep in mind that a potential partnership between Apple and ADT is still just a rumor for now, and all of these clues could somehow prove to be one big coincidence. But if the partnership does become official on Tuesday, you heard it here first.

AirPods 5 vs. AirPods 5 With Wireless Charging Case Buyer
Apple offers two versions of the AirPods 5 : a $129 model with a USB-C Charging Case and a $149 model with a Wireless Charging Case. The extra $20 also buys longer battery life, swipe volume controls, and additional Find My features, so there are differences between the earbuds themselves as well as their cases. Both models include Active Noise Cancellation as standard , the H2 chip, the same open-ear design, and the same redesigned acoustic architecture with updated Adaptive EQ. They also share Transparency mode, Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, Personalized Spatial Audio, Voice Isolation, studio-quality audio recording, and IP57 dust, sweat, and water resistance. Both support Live Translation when paired with a compatible iPhone with Apple Intelligence enabled, in supported languages and regions. The earbuds have identical dimensions and weight. The cases are also the same size, although the Wireless Charging Case is slightly heavier. There are still some notable differences to justify the price difference. Our guide helps to answer the question of how to decide which of these sets of AirPods is best for you. AirPods 5 AirPods 5 With Wireless Charging Case Force sensor Force sensor with swipe volume controls Up to four hours of listening time on a single charge with Active Noise Cancellation enabled (up to six hours with noise control off) Up to five hours of listening time on a single charge with Active Noise Cancellation enabled (up to seven hours with noise control off) Up to 20 hours of listening time with the charging case with Active Noise Cancellation enabled Up to 22 hours of listening time with the charging case with Active Noise Cancellation enabled Charging Case (USB-C) Wireless Charging Case (USB-C) with support for the Apple Watch charger and Qi-certified chargers Case speaker for Find My and charging and battery status sounds Find My with last-connected location and sound playback on the earbuds Find My network tracking, sound playback on the earbuds, separate locations for each earbud and the case, and individual Lost Mode support Charging case weighs 32.3 grams (1.14 ounces) Charging case weighs 34.7 grams (1.22 ounces) $129 $149 For most people, the AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case are clearly the better buy. The extra $20 is a very small premium for conveniences you are likely to appreciate if you use your AirPods regularly. Longer listening time is useful for travel and extended sessions, while swipe volume controls let you make adjustments without reaching for your iPhone or asking Siri. The higher-end model is worth considering even if you plan to charge exclusively over USB-C. Wireless charging becomes more useful if you already have a Qi charger or Apple Watch charger. Its additional Find My features are valuable if you tend to misplace your AirPods, allowing you to locate the earbuds and case separately and use the Find My network when they are beyond your device's range. The case speaker also helps when it slips between cushions or gets buried in a bag. The standard AirPods 5 make more sense if you are on a very strict budget, want a secondary pair, or mostly listen for short periods. You still get the same audio technology and noise cancellation, so saving $20 does not mean compromising on those core features. You simply need to be comfortable with USB-C charging, shorter battery life, fewer controls, and more limited Find My functionality. The charging cases are not interchangeable between the two models. If you buy the standard AirPods 5, you cannot add wireless charging later by purchasing the other model's case, making it worth deciding which features you want before buying. Before buying, compare prices using our Deals roundup , since discounts can change the price gap between the two models. If you're considering an upgrade from AirPods 4 or want to see what changed between generations, our AirPods 4 vs. AirPods 5 Buyer's Guide compares the improvements and explains whether upgrading is worthwhile.

Apple Announcing HomePod Mini 2 Next Week With These New Features
Apple reportedly plans to unveil a new HomePod mini as part of the Welcome home experience it announced for Tuesday, October 13. We expect the new HomePod mini to be announced in a press release shared on the Apple Newsroom website at around 9 a.m. Eastern Time on that day, and hands-on photos and videos should surface shortly afterwards. The second-generation HomePod mini is rumored to feature a newer chip that enables Siri AI support (at least with a nearby iPhone), along with improved sound quality, Apple's N1 chip with Wi-Fi 7 support, a second-generation Ultra Wideband chip, and new color options, including pink and green . No major design changes are expected. Coincidentally, the original HomePod mini also debuted on October 13 back in 2020, so there has been a six-year wait for a new model. The current HomePod mini is powered by the S5 chip that debuted in the Apple Watch Series 5 in 2019. In June, the HomePod mini received a price increase . In the U.S., it now costs $129, up from $99.

A New Apple TV 4K is Finally Coming on Tuesday
After a nearly four-year wait, a new Apple TV is finally expected to be announced as part of Apple's Welcome home launch on Tuesday, October 13. We expect the new Apple TV to be announced in a press release shared on the Apple Newsroom website on Tuesday, and then selected reporters and content creators invited to Apple's Welcome home experience in New York that day will likely share hands-on photos and videos of the device. The experience begins at 9 a.m. Eastern Time. The fourth-generation Apple TV 4K is rumored to be equipped with an A19 or A19 Pro chip . This chip upgrade would result in the Apple TV having 8GB to 12GB of RAM, and this will reportedly enable Siri AI support on the device. The current Apple TV, announced in October 2022, has an A15 Bionic chip and 4GB of RAM. The new model is also expected to be equipped with Apple's N1 chip with support for Wi-Fi 7, which would enable faster speeds and lower latency compared to the current Apple TV's Wi-Fi 6, when the device is used with a Wi-Fi 7 router. The N1 chip also supports Bluetooth 6.0, whereas the current Apple TV supports Bluetooth 5.0. A leaked image of the new Apple TV did not reveal any external design changes compared to the current model. However, the accompanying Siri Remote is expected to be revised in some way, as a new version was referenced in Apple's software code. In June, the Apple TV 4K received a price increase amid surging memory chip costs. In the U.S., for example, the device now starts at $199, up from $129.

How to adjust the vibration on your Apple Watch
Macworld The Apple Watch can vibrate to let you now about a notification. But you might find that the vibration isnt strong enough for you to notice. Or, you might want to disable vibrations completely. Apple offers three vibration settings: Off , Standard , and Distinct . If youve bought an Apple Watch and never changed this setting, Standard is the default. There are two ways to adjust it: directly on your Apple Watch or in the Watch app on your paired iPhone. To adjust the vibration on the Apple Watch, go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Haptics . To adjust the Apple Watch vibration in the Watch app on your iPhone, open the Watch app and got to My Watch > Sounds & Haptics > Haptics . Select the option you want from the list there. Off turns off vibration for notifications completely. Standard makes the Apple Watch vibrate twice. Distinctive makes it vibrate once for a long time and then twice briefly. This setting only adjusts the vibration for notifications. There are also two other, less noticeable types of vibration: that of the Digital Crown and system haptics. Both are simply used to provide feedback when operating the Apple Watch. While the Digital Crowns vibration is largely self-explanatory, system haptics generally serve to confirm various interactions with the Apple Watch. For example, when you use the double-tap and wrist gestures, the Apple Watch vibrates to confirm. You cannot customize these two types of vibration; you can only switch them on or off. They can be found under Settings > Sounds & Haptics or My Watch > Sounds & Haptics in the System Sounds & Haptics section at the bottom of the list. To disable the Digital Crown vibration, toggle the switch under Haptics (Crown) ; to disable system haptics, toggle the switch under System Haptics .
