androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-22 12:01:42

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Apple Wallet is sending out push notifications advertising the new film F1 The Movie. Users aren’t happy about their digital wallet serving them ads. To avoid these ads, you’ll have to disable notifications or turn off seeing card benefits within Wallet during checkout. Apple’s original film, F1 The Movie, is coming to theaters this week.

After a couple of weeks of radio silence in the Epic Games, Inc. v. Apple Inc. case, Apple’s lawyers are now back with a vengeance in the Ninth Circuit. And this time, they’re not just pushing back on the original outcome, but also asking the Ninth Circuit to assign the case to a different judge if it is sent back to the district court. As reported by Law360, in a new appeals brief filed Monday, Apple challenges the district court order that bars it from charging any commission on in-app purcha

If You Own an iPhone, Amazon Is Offering a Free AirTag Before Prime Day

gizmodo.com Gizmodo Deals 2025-09-22 12:16:41

Apple doesn’t often discount products, and AirTags have never been on sale from the Apple website or in Apple stores. Amazon, however, occasionally surprises us with exclusive pricing on these useful Bluetooth trackers. For the best value, a pack of AirTags is nearly always a better buy than a single one. Amazon is also running a great deal just in time for Prime Day: purchase three AirTags and receive a fourth free. That drops the price of four AirTags to just $74, down from the regular $99 ($

Apple’s China comeback playbook now includes government-backed discounts

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-09-22 16:28:33

After a rocky stretch, Apple managed to bounce back last month with a 15% jump in iPhone sales, driven largely by renewed demand in the U.S. and China. In China, especially, Apple had been losing ground to local brands benefiting from government subsidies on lower-cost phones. Now, it appears Apple is joining the subsidy program itself. When in China… take the subsidy As reported by South China Morning Post (via MacRumors), shoppers in Shanghai and Beijing can now get up to ¥2,000 (about US$2

Apple Kicks Off Early Prime Day: Wi-Fi Only iPad 2025 Hits a New All-Time Low Price

Apple is known for rarely offering major discounts, especially on its latest products. Unlike many other brands that jump at every major sales event like Prime Day, Apple often stands on the sidelines, and lets its premium reputation and loyal customer base do the talking. Thus, whenever Apple items, and especially those released within the current year, are discounted, it is always a surprise (and a treat).
