July 4th Apple Deals: Save Up to $200 Off iPads, MacBooks and More With Our Expert-Vetted Picks
Apple has created some of the best, and most popular, technology on the market today. From iPhones to MacBooks, Apple products have earned a stellar reputation. But that premium quality often comes with a hefty price tag. Direct discounts from Apple are rare, but it's not impossible to find deals on its products. In fact, several retailers are slashing prices on Apple products to celebrate the Fourth of July, including Best Buy and Amazon. To help you get the best deals available, our CNET experts have rounded up the best offers across several retailers, with new offers being added as the event goes on. We've found remarkable savings on Apple laptops, smartwatches, tablets, earbuds and more. Apple products often sell out while on sale, so, if you see something you like, don't hesitate: Buy before it's too late.

Details Save $30 $99 at Amazon $99 at Walmart Close More Apple July 4th sales and deals Does Apple offer July 4th sales? It's important to note that, while the Apple Store doesn't run sales for the Fourth of July (and rarely offers discounts outside of educational promos), deals on Apple devices and accessories can be found from authorized retailers, including Amazon. The best deals typically accompany major events, such as Amazon Prime Day or a major holiday, both of which are approaching. There are plenty of sales where you can find discounted Apple products, including Best Buy and Walmart, making it an excellent time to shop for Apple sales on several devices. If you're looking to spend less, try forgoing the latest releases. You'll find bigger discounts on previous-generation models or refurbished devices. Should I wait until Prime Day for deals on Apple products? There's no definitive way to say whether Fourth of July sales or Prime Day deals are best. Both sales offer plenty of deals, including some of the best prices we'll see all year. Additionally, the two sales will likely merge into one big discount extravaganza, given their proximity on the calendar. Fourth of July sales offer more variety in retailers, though much of your shopping may take place on Amazon anyway. There are also plenty of non-Amazon retailers that will keep their sales rolling through mid-July, often directly competing with Amazon Prime prices. Since you'll be able to shop so many Fourth of July sales in just a few weeks, you'll be able to check out the deals, grab what you need and then keep tabs on Prime Day deals later for anything you miss out on. How does CNET select the best July 4th deals? Our team of expert shoppers and deal hunters has spent years helping buyers understand which major sales and deals are legitimately good and which are more routine. That includes Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day and countless other shopping events. We've gotten good at weeding out scams and superficial deals on tech of every kind, so you see only the best offers, including Apple deals. At CNET, we look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time when choosing a deal to show you.

Aya Takano's Ethereal Dreamscapes Head to Perrotin Los Angeles
Summary Later this month,Perrotin Los Angeleswill open its doors tohow deep how far we can go, a new exhibition by renowned Japanese artist AYATAKANO. A name synonymous with the dreamy, manga-inspired spirit of the Superflat movement, TAKANO is one of the few names on the roster ofKaikai Kiki Co., playing a pivotal role in the meteoric rise of theMurakami-founded art movement. The upcoming showcase beautifully builds on the artist's previous explorations of biological interconnectedness, ancestral consciousness and the cross-species connection. In this latest body of work, composed of new paintings installations and drawings, her blushing androgynous forms sit beside animals, ancient DNA strands and fungi — gentle-eyed, glowing and alive with shared breath. 'What I try to depict in my work is an invitation to a more organic, interconnected and harmonious world,' she explained. 'A place not centered around humans alone, but one that honors the radiance of all life.' With humans are no longer at the center, TAKANO revels in a dream of mutual becoming — with every organism rich in its capacity for 'spiritual depth and radical tenderness.' Wrapped in celestial fields of color, symbolic figures and otherworldly encounters,how deep how far we can gostands as a luminous reminder of what we are, and everything we're still becoming. As French novelist Michaël Ferrier describes, in this space, 'suddenly, animals are not wild beasts, but companions in a shared metamorphosis. Wolves, lions and leopards are painted in profile like figures from a prehistoric fresco – not fierce or menacing, but soft, sentient and noble. TAKANO's brush lingers not on claws or fangs, but on fur and gaze.' The exhibition will open in Los Angeles on July 19 and will remain open through August 30.
