The Apple Watch Series 10 is $100 off ahead of Prime Day
Amazon Prime Day is around the corner, but there are plenty of great deals to be found before the July 8 to 11 event. Right now you can pick up the Apple Watch 10 for $100 off its normal price. That's the lowest we've ever seen it, and trust us, 25 percent off on current-generation Apple products is not easy to come by.
It's hard to believe that the Apple Watch is already ten years old. It seems like only yesterday that we got our hands on the first generation, and now the Apple Watch 10 is counting the days until the next generation is announced. Whether you're looking to upgrade from an older Apple Watch or this is your first time buying an Apple smartwatch (though keep in mind an iPhone is required to use an Apple Watch), this sale is a great opportunity to pick one up at a fantastic value.
The tenth generation of the Apple Watch represents a powerhouse of computing on your wrist. In our hands-on review, we loved the comprehensive health and fitness tracking capabilities on the watch, which has been a strong niche for Apple. We were sad to see the blood oxygen app removed following a patent dispute, but features like fall detection and sleep apnea tracking are still intact. It's also the thinnest Apple Watch yet, feeling more like a slim accessory than a bulky gadget. We gave the Apple Watch 10 a score of 90 out of 100, and it remains our top pick for best smartwatch.
The $100 off sale is available across multiple sizes, colors and strap options. The sale includes both GPS and Wi-Fi only models, as well as models with LTE connectivity.

New Patent Suggests Unprecedented Apple Watch
A new patent suggests a potential major design change for the Apple Watch. This would primarily expand its usability without increasing the device's size. According to a new patent application, Apple is apparently working on a new generation of the Apple Watch with an entirely new display. The designs show a case where the screen extends beyond the edges and wraps around the sides of the watch. This could not only increase the usable area but also change the operating logic. TECHBOOK reveals what this is all about. The sketches included in the patent document, published on the platform of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), suggest a concept where the display is curved downward at the side edges of the case. This is reported by the U.S. tech magazine 'Xpertpick.' This way, the display area could be expanded without increasing the overall size of the smartwatch. It is also conceivable that the curved areas could offer additional input options. According to the sketches in the patent document, Apple is apparently planning to move away from the previous flat screen. Instead, the display is supposed to slope downward at the sides of the case. These curved areas could offer additional control options, such as swipe gestures or virtual buttons. Read also: Why the Apple Watch Appeared as Early as 1995 A particularly striking detail: In one of the illustrations, the case appears to be completely embedded in the curved display. This suggests a particularly seamless and modern design that is not only visually appealing but could also improve usability. However, the patent does not specify which exact functions the curved display areas might take on. Apple is known for regularly filing patents for new device forms or technical concepts—many of which are never implemented. This design is also purely conceptual and does not indicate an imminent market launch. Nevertheless, the document shows that Apple continues to work on innovative solutions for its wearable devices. The idea of a curved or case-wrapped display is not new for Apple. Variants have already been presented in earlier patent applications that would allow the usable screen area on devices like the Apple Watch to be expanded. Whether the current design will ever make it to a market-ready product remains to be seen. The post New Patent Suggests Unprecedented Apple Watch appeared first on TECHBOOK.

Why I've decided to skip seeing Apple's F1 movie in theaters
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, BGR may receive an affiliate commission. I'm a longtime iPhone user who is deeply entrenched in Apple's ecosystem. I wear an Apple Watch religiously to track my health and fitness, and I use a MacBook for work and leisure. AirPods and iPad? Check and check. I'm also dying to see Brad Pitt's F1 movie that Apple made. I was especially psyched after WWDC 2025. Apple used WWDC to promote F1 in brilliant ways. First was the intro gag, and then the unique iPhone-only haptic trailer. Today's Top Deals Best deals: Tech, laptops, TVs, and more sales Best Ring Video Doorbell deals Memorial Day security camera deals: Reolink's unbeatable sale has prices from $29.98 More importantly, we learned that Apple's iPhone 15 Pro camera was developed for the F1 movie, as the Formula 1 races in the clip are actual races recorded with iPhone-grade cameras. At that point I would have watched F1 even if it were a bad movie. Luckily, everyone who saw it praised the film, suggesting Apple had a massive summer blockbuster on its hands, which is terrific news for the future of Apple TV+ in Hollywood. But then someone at Apple decided to ruin all the momentum F1 had and push an advertisement in the Wallet app to thousands of iPhone users. It was even worse than Apple auto-downloading that U2 album on millions of iPhones all those years ago. I use the Wallet app all the time. It's how I've been paying for most things for years. Apple secures that experience, and I'm not worried about my credit cards being stolen. I also use the app for passes, from planes to public transportation. It's one of the best features of the iPhone (and Apple Watch). Given that I'm a longtime user and I've been following Apple products for years, I know the Wallet app is secure and private. I know that Apple isn't collecting user data to then blast us with ads and recommendations based on our purchases. But, as John Gruber rightly points out, it's likely that some iPhone users thought Apple might have tracked their spending habits to hit them with that F1 ad in the Wallet app. I wouldn't blame them. After all, we know that Google, Facebook, Instagram, and plenty of other apps track virtually everything we do online. I also wouldn't blame any iPhone users who might think the Wallet app is not secure as a result. But it is — Apple is not spying on us. With that said, I can't imagine why a company that made privacy and security a tentpole of its products, especially the iPhone, would decide to betray that trust by placing a commercial in a place nobody wants to see ads. Apple also did it without obtaining consent from users, which is all the more annoying. After all, Apple dealt a huge blow to companies like Facebook, who want to track us everywhere, by forcing them to ask for permission for tracking on iPhone. Apple could have easily pushed the ad in a different app. But it would have been just as bad. I'm already paying premium prices for Apple products that should come free of ads. Interestingly, I never got the ad, but maybe that's because I'm an European iPhone owner. I wanted to watch F1 as soon as it came out in theaters over here, which was Wednesday. But there have to be consequences for some of Apple's decisions. I am an Apple fan and customer, but I won't tolerate just anything. If ads become the norm in the Wallet app, I will switch back to using a physical card and store my passes elsewhere. For now, I won't pay to see F1 in theaters no matter how much I want to watch the movie or how good it sounds. Instead, I'll just wait for it to drop on Apple TV+, while also cheering for the Apple teams who make movies like F1 happen and who ensure that I can take apps like Wallet for granted, and not worry about privacy and security. I'll also say I'm pretty sure F1 doesn't need Wallet ads to become a box office hit this weekend. What's also clear here is that Apple has to think outside the box when it comes to its ad strategy. As The Verge observed, Apple keeps pulling ads after it releases them. It can't pull the F1 Wallet ad, but I'm sure it would do so if it were possible.

Apple Watch deals are heating up ahead of Prime Day — save up to $150
All products featured here are independently selected by our editors and writers. If you buy something through links on our site, Mashable may earn an affiliate commission. Best early Prime Day Apple Watch deals Best Series 10 deal Apple Watch Series 10 (42mm, GPS) $319 (save $80) Get Deal Best Ultra deal Apple Watch Ultra 2 (49mm, GPS + cellular) $729.99 (save $69.01) Get Deal Best SE deal Apple Watch SE (44mm, GPS) $219 (save $60) Get Deal You don't need a smartwatch to tell you that Prime Day is a great time to pick up an Apple Watch. This year, the Prime member-exclusive sale runs a whopping four days, from July 8 to July 11. But if you want to score some savings Apple Watches (and Apple in general, for that matter), you don't have to wait. Typically, Apple deals aren't officially affiliated with the sale, which means that non-Prime members can enjoy the savings, too. While Prime Day proper does tend to bring a higher volume of record low prices, the weeks leading up to the sale have deals ranging from decent to great. Case in point: each model of the Apple Watch is available at a discounted price, with markdowns ranging from $60 to $150. SEE ALSO: Walmart's anti-Prime Day sale is extra competitive this year With Apple Watches, you'll tend to score the best savings if you're not picky about colorways. While none of the deals below are rare (in other words, necessary to jump on ASAP), it's a solid lineup for folks who don't want to wait for July 8. Our pick: Apple Watch Series 10 (42mm, GPS) $299 at Amazon $399 Save $100 Get Deal Check out our full review of the Apple Watch Series 10. The Apple Watch Series 10 frequently gets discounted at Amazon. Shortly after its release last fall, the smartwatch received a $20 price cut, and dropped to the $330 range before the year's end. At $319, this is a better deal than average, especially considering it's Mashable's top pick for a smartwatch fitness tracker. If you want the absolute best price, you'll have to wait until this watch drops to $299. We like the Series 10 thanks to its suite of health tracking capabilities, including a heart rate monitor, sleep tracker, menstrual cycle tracker, and pedometer (the blood oxygen sensor is the main feature that's missing). It also has an ultra bright and lightweight display. Apple Watch Series 10 (46mm, GPS) — $359 $429 (save $70) Apple Watch Series 10 (42mm, GPS + cellular) — $429 $499 (save $70) Apple Watch Series 10, Milanese loop (42mm, GPS + cellular) — $699 $749 (save $150) Apple Watch Ultra 2 (49mm, GPS + cellular) — $729.99 $799 (save $69.01) Apple Watch SE, 2nd Gen (40mm, GPS) — $189 $249 (save $60) Apple Watch SE, 2nd Gen (44mm, GPS) — $219 $279 (save $60) Apple Watch SE, 2nd Gen (40mm, GPS + cellular) — $239 $299 (save $60) Apple Watch SE, 2nd Gen (44mm, GPS + cellular) — $269 $329 (save $60) Apple AirTag (4-Pack) — $74.99 (List Price $99.00) Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 (Wi-Fi, 40mm, S/M Green) — $199.99 (List Price $299.99) Dyson V15 Detect Plus Cordless Vacuum Cleaner (Yellow/Nickel) — $649.99 (List Price $749.99) Apple 2025 MacBook Air 13-inch Laptop — $849.00 (List Price $999.00) Hisense 55" Class QD6 Series (2025 Model) QLED 4K UHD TV — $259.99 (List Price $379.99)
