The best iPad deals you can get right now include the iPad A16 for $299

An iPad might be the most versatile Apple device you can buy. They can run apps and games like your phone yet they're as powerful as some laptops. You can use them to read books like on an ereader or watch shows like its a mini TV. But they're not the cheapest tablets out there, so it's wise to look for sales when you can find them. You won't see discounts directly from Apple, but Amazon, Target, Best Buy and B&H Photo often offer discounts on Apple's slates. All week long, we keep an eye out fo

techcrunch.com Sean O'Kane 2025-10-03 02:33:06

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced a new pilot program that will let electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) startups test some operations before they receive full regulatory certification. It’s a potentially big change for these companies, as they’ve spent the last few years performing limited test flights of their aircraft while working toward FAA approval.

Is the iPhone Air a Klutz's Worst Nightmare?

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-03 06:09:46

Maybe I'm just getting bent out of shape, but the new iPhone Air seems like it would be my worst nightmare. The slim and trim version of the brand new iPhone 17 was the star of Apple's "awe dropping" September event, with Apple bragging they created a model that's only 5.6 mm thick, about the size of three stacked credit cards. But I have to ask: Did anyone really ask for a super-thin iPhone? Apple has loaded up the iPhone Air with better battery life and faster processing power via the A19 Pro

Apple sold me on iPhone Air with just three words

I always buy an iPhone Pro, but this year I opted for iPhone Air instead, and three words from Apple’s presentation—“power of Pro”—sum up why. iPhone Air is ultra-thin but has the “power of Pro” I’ve been excited about the iPhone Air since the first rumors emerged last year. Based on early reporting, I quickly proclaimed: “Air won’t be the best iPhone, but it will be the future.” I knew there would be battery and camera drawbacks.

Which iPhone 17 Model Should You Buy?

wired.com Julian Chokkattu 2025-10-03 08:00:00

Apple’s 2025 iPhones are here, and things are quite different for the first time in a while. The base iPhone 17 will still feel familiar, but the iPhone 17 Pro models have a completely new look, and there's a brand-new model called the iPhone Air. The “Air” branding has been somewhat diluted of late—the current-gen iPad Pro models are lighter than the iPad Air—but the iPhone Air brings meaning back to the original idea: a super-thin and ultra-lightweight device.

In Brief Apple is set to release its upcoming iPhone 17 series on September 19 in most countries across the world.
