If you know where to look, you can often score discounts on Apple’s ever-expanding AirPods lineup. Both the newer AirPods Max and AirPods 4 (with and without ANC) now consistently receive discounts, as do the latest AirPods Pro with USB-C. The same goes for the original AirPods Max, which are nearly indistinguishable from the last-gen model aside from the switch to a USB-C connector and a few new color options. Below, we’ve rounded up the best deals currently available on each model, including

If you’re anything like me, you have probably hesitated to open Threads after a big TV episode dropped. But starting this week, Meta’s platform will start testing out a way for users to hide spoilers in both text and images. Here’s how it’s going to work. A long-overdue fix for spoiler-prone feeds First things first: yes, other social platforms like Mastodon, Telegram, and Reddit have long offered their own ways to hide posts, or certain parts of posts, in order not to spoil plot points, big r

If you were itching for a new pair of AirPods Pro, you may want to clip those fingernails because that itch could persist for another year. According to yet another Apple analyst, the AirPods Pro 3 might be delayed until 2026, extending the previous rumored timeline that projected a release this year. The rumored delay comes courtesy of Apple analyst Jeff Pu, who corroborates previous intel from fellow analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. If Pu and Kuo’s info are correct, it would make the AirPods Pro 2 three

WhatsApp introduces ads in its app

news.ycombinator.com Eli Tan 2025-09-12 16:38:59

When Facebook bought WhatsApp for $19 billion in 2014, the messaging app had a clear focus. No ads, no games and no gimmicks. For years, that is what WhatsApp’s two billion users — many of them in Brazil, India and other countries around the world — got. They chatted with friends and family unencumbered by advertising and other features found on social media. Now that is set to change. On Monday, WhatsApp said it would start showing ads inside its app for the first time. The promotions will a

MagSafe Monday: ArmorGo Magnetic Wallet Stand adds a solid kickstand and RFID protection in a slim design

MagSafe accessories continue to be a mix of great ideas and daily annoyances, but I keep trying them all.

Meta is testing a way to hide spoilers on Threads, according to a new post from Mark Zuckerberg. The feature lets you obscure text or an image so that they're only viewable once they're tapped or clicked. In the current version being tested, you have to highlight your chosen text or tap on the image and then tap "Mark spoiler" to hide it. Inside the Threads app there's even a swirling particle animation that covers text and images before flittering away when you tap on them. Meta Meta suggest
