One of my favorite iPhone cases is back with a new look. I have used the previous generations of BitmoLab’s GAMEBABY case and immediately loved it. It felt like an accessory purpose-built to tug at my nostalgia strings. The superpower of this case is that it is not a secondary accessory you need to bring and make sure is charged; it’s a regular iPhone case that is smartly designed to also serve as a set of tactile, physical buttons for playing your favorite Game Boy ROMs (among others). It’s the perfect summation of work smarter, not harder. It uses no batteries or Bluetooth and requires little setup. If you are into any sort of retro game emulation, you have to check this out.

August is here and the notable discounts on AirPods Pro 3 at $50 off, AirPods Max 2 at $100 off, and all-time low pricing on AirTag 2 remain. But today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is headlined by the M5 MacBook Air – we spotted a rare deal on the 24GB/512GB model at $200 off, but we are also now tracking configurations at up to $300 off over in the official Apple Certified Refurbished Store, including this 24GB 15-inch model (more details here).

Apple reportedly exceeded $10 billion in annual sales in India for the first time in its last fiscal year.

We’re only one month away from Apple’s biggest product launch event of the year: the September iPhone event. Here’s what rumors say is coming.
Summer deals are somehow still live on AirPods Pro 3 at $50 off alongside all-time low pricing on AirTag 2, but today we have some fresh discounts on Apple Watch Ultra 3. Amazon is now offering several configurations at nearly $100 off the list prices to join refreshed Series 11 offers from $299. We also have Anker’s more powerful 100W 3-port Smart Display Charger down at $50 on Amazon (nearly 30% off) and the Best Buy’s updated August Back to School sale – Apple gear, smart TVs from $80, dorm upgrades, and more. Scope it all out down below.
Back in May, the Google Health app launched alongside the new line of affordable Google Fitbit Air health trackers.
Google Health initially included one-way Apple Health integration. The app could read and import health data recorded by an iPhone, Apple Watch, and other HealthKit-connected apps, but it couldn’t write Fitbit data back to Apple Health.
Today’s Google Health iOS app update adds the missing half of that connection.
Apple recently agreed to acquire a company called PlasmaSolve, according to EU-required filings. Here’s why the new acquisition could make a lot of sense for Apple’s future product roadmap.

Apple has two substantially unique iPhone designs launching in the coming year: iPhone Ultra this fall, and its 20th anniversary Pro models next year. Leaker Fixed Focus Digital has just shared updates on both products.
We know for sure that Apple will increase iPhone prices when the iPhone 18 Pro launches next month. The company exempted existing iPhones when it increased prices across the board to reflect higher memory prices, but that was only ever going to be a temporary reprieve.
However, two sources are now suggesting that the starting price of this year’s Pro models will be $1,399 – and I find it hard to believe even Apple would go that far …
While it’s been reported that Apple is debating whether or not the camera in its upcoming glasses product should allow users to shoot photos and videos, DuckDuckGo is going one step further …
What seems like a deliberately vague comment by outgoing Apple CEO Tim Cook during the earnings call suggests that heavy Siri AI usage could be more expensive than we’ve so far expected.
While it had always seemed clear that we wouldn’t be able to make unlimited use of Siri AI without paying for it in some way, Cook’s remarks do appear to point to some bad news …
Next month, Apple will be unveiling its first foldable iPhone – rumored to be called iPhone Ultra. It’s going to feature a 5.5-inch outer display and 7.6-inch inner display. Late last month, Samsung introduced the new Galaxy Z Fold 8 – and it comes with those same screen sizes.
Whether or not you believe Samsung only made this phone to preempt the iPhone Ultra is a different story – but one way or another, seeing the Galaxy Z Fold 8 gives us a great early idea of what iPhone Ultra will feel like in the real world.
As I write this article, I am about to head out for a quick trip up north, and when I hit the road, there are a few key types of gear of my smart home setup I fully rely on to keep things running smoothly. Just remember that you will need a dedicated Apple Home hub, like an Apple TV 4K or a HomePod, to access your devices remotely to take full advantage here.
Apple has been working on camera-equipped AirPods for quite some time, with Visual Intelligence at the forefront of the product. This product had initially been rumored for this year, then ended up getting pushed back to sometime next year.
However, there’s now a new chance that we end up seeing our first version of camera-equipped AirPods later this year anyways. Here’s why.
The AI datacenter buildout around the US has wreaked havoc across the entire consumer electronics industry. All of this newly found high volume purchasing of high end HBM2 DRAM has shifted entire supply chains, making it incredibly difficult to come across consumer grade memory and storage.
SSDs and DDR5 RAM have shot up in price since the start of the year, and Apple finally had to adjust its pricing in late June – with everything becoming $100-400+ more across the board. Despite those price hikes, the company is still struggling to keep MacBook Air in stock.
According to the latest Power On newsletter from Mark Gurman, Apple is working towards turning its upcoming non-AR smart glasses into another platform for health and fitness – though these features likely won’t debut with the first generation model in the coming year.
This week, Apple launched Apple Upgrade, its new leasing program for most Apple products. It replaces the iPhone Upgrade Program entirely, and for the most part, it’s an incredible deal.
The deal is so good that largely, there isn’t a great reason to use Apple Card Monthly Installments (ACMI) anymore. You still get 3% cash back using Apple Upgrade, similar to ACMI – and the leasing terms are a lot more generous than ACMI. You also don’t have to lease forever. At the end, you can purchase the device by paying the difference between the leasing cost and the MSRP.
So, it’s left me wondering – will Apple Card Monthly Installments go away?

Next year, the iPhone will be turning 20 – and Apple is heavily rumored to be working on a radical new design to celebrate. Many have expected this to come in the form of iPhone 19 Pro (more likely to be called iPhone 20 to align with the anniversary), but I think there’s one solid reason that it may not be delivered in that form.
Later this fall, Apple will be updating the Mac Studio for the first time since early 2025. That may be just over a year ago, but it’s significant for one main reason: the highest end Mac Studio is still M3 based, as Apple never made an Ultra version of the M4 chipset. Here’s what to expect with the next generation Mac Studio, as well as in the future.
Since iOS 5 in 2011, the iPhone and iPad have included Notification Center, a central place to find alerts from various apps in chronological order.
Starting with iOS 27, Apple is making a major change to how users open Notification Center on iPhone and iPad.
iOS 27 is currently in beta, and the behavior has changed slightly between the first two releases. However, the four developer beta and second public beta show this change will ship this fall.

The July AirPods Pro 3 deal at $50 off, AirPods Max 2 at $100 off, and the ongoing all-time low on AirTag 2 are still rolling, but today’s 9to5Toys Lunch Break is headlined Apple’s official refurb store – it has the lowest prices on the most affordable M5 MacBook Air models right now at up to $240 off, as detailed right here.
