Best Prime Day MacBook deals: 7 massive savings on MacBook Pro and MacBook Air laptops
Particular standouts for me has to be grabbing $150 off the M4 MacBook Air (arguably one of the best laptops anyone can buy right now), and a whopping $170 off the M4 MacBook Pro.
But for those who need the additional horsepower for professional workloads, you'll find equally big savings on the M4 Pro and M4 Max MacBook Pros, too! But enough blathering, let's get into them.
The latest 13-inch MacBook Air M4 is Apple's greatest offering yet, and it's not only because of its speedy performance thanks to the M4 chip or its upgraded 12MP webcam. It's $100 less than its predecessor, and with that extra $100 off, you're getting one of the best laptops on the market at an epic price. Expect 16GB of unified memory and a 256 SSD in the model, but for more speed and storage, you can get the same discount. MacBook Air M4 (16GB/512GB): was $1,199 now $1,049MacBook Air M4 (24GB/512GB): was $1,399 now $1,249
One of the best laptops with an even bigger screen? You got it. The 15-inch M4 MacBook Air boasts a 15.3-inch (2880 x 1864) Liquid Retina display, and that's more screen real estate for work, watching shows and even some gaming. Better yet, its more powerful configurations are also discounted, and even $163 off for top-tier performance. MacBook Air M4 (16GB/512GB): was $1,399 now $1,249MacBook Air M4 (24GB/512GB): was $1,599 now $1,436
If you're a power user, you'll want the might of the MacBook Pro M4 on your side. You get fantastic performance from the M4 chip, useful Apple Intelligence features, a better webcam and very impressive battery life of over 18 hours. As we noted in our MacBook Pro 14-inch M4 review, it's the best laptop for photo and video editing, and much more. This model features a 14.2-inch (3024 x 1964) Retina display, Apple M4 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD.
Not enough power? No problem, as the M4 Pro MacBook Pro also has a steep price cut, and you can save $200! If the base MacBook Pro M4 doesn't have enough power for you, upgrade to the MacBook Pro with an M4 Pro chip. As well as faster performance thanks to its 12-core CPU and 16-core GPU, you'll also get Thunderbolt 5 ports for even faster data transfer.
Need top-flight performance? That's where the M4 Max comes in — perfect for professional workloads like high-fidelity animation and 3D rendering with its 32-core GPU, professional studio recording with the 14-core CPU, and on-device AI with its enhanced Neural Engine.
That extra screen real estate really comes in handy for complex 4K video edit timelines in Final Cut Pro and really zooming in on those details in RAW photo edits. Pair that with M4 Pro power and a $250 saving, and you're onto a winner with a far longer battery life, too!
It'll cost you a small fortune, but this is the ultimate MacBook Pro you can buy right now. The base model features a 16.2-inch 3456 x 2234 Retina display, Apple M4 Max CPU, 36GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD.

Apple is still trying to overturn the ban on the Apple Watch blood oxygen sensor
Apple is making another attempt to appeal the trade ban that forced it to remove the blood oxygen sensor from its smartwatches, Reuters reports. The company was forced to remove the feature in 2024, following a decision from the International Trade Commission (ITC) in 2023 that banned sales of the Apple Watch for violating health tech startup Masimo's patents. The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit heard new arguments from Apple and Masimo's lawyers on Monday over the legality of the original ITC ban. Apple's argument is that the fact Masimo was developing its own smartwatch when Apple released the Apple Watch Series 6 in 2020 — the first of the company's wearables with a blood oxygen sensor — shouldn't be enough to justify the ban. Masimo disagrees. The appeals court has heard the company's arguments before, and even briefly paused the trade ban in December 2023 while the ITC considered Apple's request for a longer pause. Ultimately, the ITC ruled in Masimo's favor and denied Apple's request. Apple removed the blood oxygen sensor in 2024 so it could restart sales of the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 in the US. The companies' fight goes beyond just the blood oxygen sensor — Masimo's smartwatches were, ironically, found to infringe on Apple patents — but clearly Apple is hung up on the feature. The company's blood oxygen sensor was never as accurate as the pulse oximeters used in a doctor's office, but it was part of a fairly comprehensive suite of heart health features on the smartwatch. It's entirely possible Apple wants to reintroduce it in its watches as part of an even more ambitious health feature down the road.

Apple's top AI executive Ruoming Pang leaves for Meta, Bloomberg News reports
(Reuters) -Apple's top executive in charge of artificial intelligence models, Ruoming Pang, is leaving the company for Meta Platforms, Bloomberg News reported on Monday, citing people with knowledge of the matter. Pang, manager in charge of the company's Apple foundation models team, will join Meta's new superintelligence team for a compensation package worth millions of dollars per year, the report added. Meta and Apple did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment. The development comes as tech giants such as Meta aggressively chase high-profile acquisitions and offer multi-million-dollar pay packages to attract top talent in the race to lead the next wave of AI. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has reorganized the company's AI efforts under a new division called Meta Superintelligence Labs, Reuters reported last week. The division will be headed by Alexandr Wang, former CEO of data labeling startup Scale AI. He will be the chief AI officer of the new initiative at the social media giant, according to a source. Last month, Meta invested in Scale AI in a deal that valued the data-labeling startup at $29 billion and brought in its 28-year-old CEO Wang. Sign in to access your portfolio
