Report: Don't Expect New AirPods Max 2 at Apple's iPhone 17 Event

Some of us have been waiting for Apple to announce a new second-gen version of the AirPods Max, its high-end over-ear noise-canceling headphones that were released in December 2020. They were refreshed last year with USB-C connectivity, some new color options and USB-C audio in April of this year. But if a recent report by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who's usually a reliable Apple whisperer, proves accurate, we won't be seeing the AirPods Max 2 at Apple's iPhone 17 Event, which is likely to take pl

Rumor: Apple testing iPhone 4-like case for iPhone 17 Air

9to5mac.com Chance Miller 2025-11-05 11:54:39

Apple is expected to launch a new flavor of its Smart Battery Case alongside the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air next month. As it turns out, that’s not the only forgotten iPhone case the company has up its sleeve. Mark Gurman reports that Apple has “at least considered/tested” a case for the iPhone 17 Air that “surrounds the edges but doesn’t cover the back.” If that sounds familiar, it’s because Apple offered a Bumper case exactly like that for the iPhone 4 in 2010.

A four-pack of Apple AirTags drops to $70 for Labor Day

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-05 20:07:40

If you're thinking about getting some of Apple's AirTags, now's the time to act — Amazon currently has a four-pack on sale for $70. That's one of the lowest prices we've seen outside the big sales on Black Friday and Prime Day. For Apple users, AirTags offer some large advantages over rival trackers. The ultra-wideband functionality offers precise tracking with iPhones less than five years old, so you can narrow your search between a couch and love seat in the same room. Over larger distances,

Most Air Purifiers Haven’t Been Tested on Humans. That’s a Problem

gizmodo.com Amiran Baduashvili 2025-11-05 20:50:51

Portable air cleaners aimed at curbing indoor spread of infections are rarely tested for how well they protect people—and very few studies evaluate their potentially harmful effects. That’s the upshot of a detailed review of nearly 700 studies that we co-authored in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine. Many respiratory viruses, such as covid-19 and influenza, can spread through indoor air. Technologies such as HEPA filters, ultraviolet light, and special ventilation designs—collectively kno

Virgins Are Reality TV’s Latest Darlings. Their Reasons for Abstaining Are Complicated

wired.com Kat Tenbarge 2025-11-05 16:30:00

“No one believes I’m a virgin” is a common refrain during the premiere of Hulu’s new dating competition series, Are You My First? The reality show centers on “the largest group of eligible virgins ever assembled,” the hosts claim—apart from a high school cafeteria, one might assume—to follow the tried-and-true format that defines shows like Love Island and Too Hot to Handle.

Labor Day sales include Apple's iPad Air M3 for $150 off

For a lot of people, the iPad Air is Apple’s goldilocks tablet. It’s more powerful and available in a larger size than the entry-level iPad, but a lot less expensive than the iPad Pro, which can be overkill for some. Right now, there's a great Apple iPad Air M3 price drop on Amazon: you can get one for $150 less than usual thanks to Labor Day sales.

The best air purifier for 2025

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-06 09:01:28

The air in our homes can be five times more polluted than outdoor air. Energy-efficient homes are designed to be tightly sealed, too, so they trap more pollutants inside. Cooking emissions, cleaning chemicals and fragrances all contribute to less-than-healthy air. Pets, smoke and off-gassing furniture do their part as well. If the air quality outside is good, the best thing to do is open up your windows for at least 15 minutes a day. But if wildfires, car pollution, or high pollen counts prevent

AirPods Max in 2025? Same drawbacks, now ready for pros, and one killer feature

You likely shouldn’t hold your breath for a new pair of AirPods Max: report

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-11-06 02:56:08

AirPods Max have had a bit of a disappointing history. After much anticipation, they finally released at the tail end of 2020. Some fans were disappointed with the high price tag and rather heavy aluminum and steel design, and have been looking forward to a revamp ever since. Despite being refreshed last year, it was merely just a USB-C port swap and new colors. The headphones still lack in features compared to Apple’s newer AirPods Pro 2, and that likely won’t be changing. Per Mark Gurman’s P

Serious badminton players are constantly exploring different techniques to give them an edge over opponents. One of the latest innovations is the spin serve, a devastatingly effective method in which a player adds a pre-spin just before the racket contacts the shuttlecock (aka the birdie). It's so effective—some have called it "impossible to return"—that the Badminton World Federation (BWF) banned the spin serve in 2023, at least until after the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris.

Apple could rejuvenate the next iPad Air model with one new feature

The iPad Air hasn’t been a particularly interesting product for a number of years. Apple redesigned it in 2020 with the fourth generation model, and since then – it’s just been spec bumps and small feature upgrades. However, I think the next refresh could be a great opportunity to introduce a large feature upgrade: Face ID. Face ID has remained iPad Pro exclusive Despite the fact that Face ID is now an 8 year old technology, you can still only get it on the iPad Pro. This is in stark contrast
