It’s official Apple Certified Refurbished Store time again, and we are back again with a closer look at the gear we have our eyes on. This is not a bunch of Macs covered in scratches that fell off a truck somewhere and shilled on eBay at a discount, we are talking about Apple’s “rigorous refurbishment process” and the same 1-year Apple warranty you get on brand new units, just at a lower price.
You’re not going to get a better price on AirPods Pro 3 or the all-time low on AirTag 2, but there is hundreds in savings on Macs and the lowest prices around on current-generation models. Check out this week’s best down below.

Apple will launch the iPhone 18 Pro soon, and a new report indicates its price might not be as high as several analysts have suggested. Here are the details.
My biggest issue when I go back and forth between a MagSafe wallet and a traditional wallet is that a lot of MagSafe wallets are really just card slots.

It actually folds shut like a traditional fold wallet with a clear ID/driver’s license window.

Head below for a closer look.

In recent years, Macs had been getting more and more affordable. Cheaper starting points, more memory and storage per dollar, and the introduction of MacBook Neo. For the first time, Apple had started to become one of the best values on the market.
Unfortunately, Apple just drastically increased its prices because of the ongoing memory shortage. Macs aren’t as appealing as they were a few weeks ago, that said, there’s still some decent deals out there – and if you’re in need of a new computer, I’d still say todays Macs are a good value against the rest of the computing market.
Recently, Mophie debuted four new power banks for the iPhone. They slide nicely into your pocket, come in two finishes, offer built-in cables, and pack 5000mAh or 10000mAh of capacity.

Earlier this month, Google unveiled its new Pixel 11 lineup.

On the cusp of the iPhone 18 Pro release, I’m hoping Apple offers something similar to this.

August 21, 2026: Apple Watch Series 12 is rumored to include a ceramic option for the first time since the Series 5 was discontinued. With that in mind, I’m resharing my hands-on post of my favorite Apple Watch from September 2019. Seven years later, it’s still the best version I’ve ever owned. I hope you enjoy!

But a current video project highlighted another advantage.
I really enjoy walking through London in the early evening, and I’ll quite often shoot photos and short video clips on my iPhone. Initially, I did so purely for the pleasure of it, but I later realized the potential for short clips to serve as B-roll in video projects …
