Huge Apple sale just went live — 17 back to school deals from $99
The best sale right now comes from Amazon. For a limited time, Amazon has MacBooks on sale from $799. These are the lowest prices I've seen all year for Apple's current-gen M4-based machines. That's not the only sale happening right now. Below I've rounded up 17 of my favorite Apple deals happening now.
The MacBook Air M1 offers fantastic performance and value. The M1 CPU never stuttered in our tests and also helped it reach over 14 hours of battery life. It features a 13.3-inch Retina display, Apple M1 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. In our MacBook Air M1 review, we said it offers amazing endurance and shockingly good speed.
For $100 more, this deals gets you an M2 chipset and — more importantly — 16GB of RAM. That extra RAM is the reason I'd recommend this machine over the M1-based model as it'll give you a better experience when it comes to multitasking. The laptop is remarkably light and thin yet sports a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, a speedy Apple M2 CPU w/ 8-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, 256GB SSD, and a great 1080p FaceTime camera. In our MacBook Air M2 review we lauded this Editor's Choice laptop for its versatility and battery life, so don't miss your chance to get one at a great discount.
The new MacBook Air is powered by Apple's latest M4 chipset. It upgrades the camera from 1080p to 12MP with Center Stage support. The M4 chipset also supports dual external monitors, even when you have the laptop's lid open. It packs a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display (2560 x 1664), Apple's M4 CPU w/ 10-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB SSD. In our MacBook Air M4 review, we said the Editor's Choice laptop is irresistible thanks to its speedy performance, sharper camera, and lower starting price.
Prefer a bigger screen? The 15-inch model is also on sale. It packs a 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display (2880 x 1864), Apple's M4 CPU w/ 10-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB SSD.
The 2025 iPad features a larger 11-inch (2360 x 1640) screen, A16 CPU, 12MP rear/front cameras, USB-C connectivity, and Magic Keyboard Folio ($249) support. The base model features 128GB of storage, which double the capacity of its predecessor. It's available in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB capacities.
The 2025 iPad Air packs Apple's M3 processor, an 11-inch LED (2360 x 1640) display, 128GB of storage, 12MP rear camera, and 12MP front camera. The tablet packs a more powerful 8-core CPU, which makes the M3 up to 35% faster for multithreaded CPU workflows than the iPad Air M1. There's also a 9-core GPU on board with 40% faster graphics performance than the M1. In our iPad Air M3 review we said its fun Apple Intelligence features, reliable battery life (9 hours w/ 41 minutes), and overall thin design make it a winning Apple slate.
The 11-inch iPad Pro packs Apple's latest M4 processor paired with a stunning 11-inch Tandem OLED (2420 x 1668) display. The new M4 processor features 9 CPU cores and 10 GPU cores. In our iPad Pro 2024 review we said it could very well be the most stunning tablet ever made. Price check: $949 @ B&H | $999 @ Best Buy
The Beats Studio Buds offer active noise cancelling, sweat resistance and up to eight hours listening time, or 24 hours when combined with the pocket-sized charging case. In our Beats Studio Buds review, we labeled them a surprisingly affordable option for ANC. Add in impressive sound, and they're a top contender in its price range. Price check: $129 @ Best Buy | $99 @ Walmart
This deal brings a long-awaited discount to the Beats Pill. We had a Beats Pill hands-on, and found a speaker that has (as you might expect) some massive bass and a slick look. Battery life is respectable at 24 hours, and its waterproofing makes it perfect for pool parties and outdoor use.
The AirPods Pro 2 pack Apple's new H2 chip to provide 2x more noice cancellation than their predecessors. They also offer Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking for a more immersive audio experience. In our AirPods Pro 2 review, we said they take everything we loved about the original AirPods Pro to the next level. This new model includes a USB-C charging case.
The current-gen Apple Watch SE sports an S8 processor, Crash Detection capability, and watchOS 11. In our Apple Watch SE review, we called it the best Apple Watch value you'll find. Note: It sold for $149 last Black Friday, but $169. remains the lowest price I've seen for 2025.
The Apple Watch 10 boasts a thinner/lighter design, faster charging, and an FDA-authorized sleep apnea detection feature. Other key features include 30% more screen area, rounded corners, and a first-ever wide angle OLED display. In our Apple Watch 10 review we said the optimized watchOS 11 experience and faster charging are worthwhile and make this the Apple Watch to get for most people.
Apple iPhone 16e: was $16/month now $5/month w/ Unlimited @ AT&TSign up for an unlimited plan at AT&T, and your monthly payment on an iPhone 16e drops from $16.67/month to just $5.99. Over the course of 36 months, that saves you more than $380 on the cost of Apple's entry-level phone. The iPhone 16e may be a lower-priced model, but it still supports the same Apple Intelligence features as flagship iPhones, and it's got a more modern design than previous iPhone SE models.
Trade in an eligible device in any condition, and T-Mobile will give you a credit of up to $1,000 that you can apply to an iPhone 16 Pro. You'll need to sign up for T-Mobile's $100/month Experience Beyond plan to qualify as well, though if you opt for the $85/month Experience More plan, you can still get up to $830 in credit. T-Mobile will also pay off your phone up to $800 with your current carrier. This is a great way to get one of Apple's best iPhones at a low-to-no cost.
iPhone 16 Pro Max: free w/ unlimited @ VerizonThe iPhone 16 Pro Max packs a 6.9-inch 2868 x 1320 OLED display with 120Hz refresh, A18 Pro CPU, and 256GB of storage. Rear cameras include a 48MP main (f/1.78), 48MP ultrawide (f/2.2), and 12MP telephoto (5x, f/2.8). There's also a 12MP (f/1.9) front camera. In our iPhone 16 Pro Max review, we said the Pro Max is the phone to get if you want the largest screen and longest battery life. You can get it free at Verizon with select unlimited data plans.
No more running away from Apple's base model Mac mini. The M4 Mac mini packs that awesome M4 chip along with a doubling of RAM to 16GB and a 256GB SSD. Port array continues to be impressive with Thunderbolt 4, HDMI, Ethernet and more. In our Apple Mac mini M4 review we said the Editor's Choice machine is as close to perfect as it gets. Note: It sold for $499 over Prime Day, but has rarely been on sale this month.
The iMac M4 delivers all the strengths of the iMac with the added juice provided by Apple's M4 chip, delivering better performance than any iMac to date. In our iMac M4 review, we said the Editor's Choice all-in-one delivers great performance. It features a 24-inch 4480 x 2520 display, 16GB of RAM, M4 chipset, 256GB SSD, and 12MP webcam.

All 2025 Motorola Razr foldables are on sale!
Ryan Haines / Android Authority The Motorola Razr and Razr Plus deals come from Amazon. On the other hand, the Motorola Razr Ultra offer is available directly from Motorola's website. Motorola Razr 2025 Motorola Razr 2025 Motorola Razr 2025 The most affordable 2025 Razr A good looking 6.9-inch folding display is paired with a 3.6-inch external display to make up a compact folded phone, with few compromises at full-size. The Motorola Razr 2025 is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7300X and 8GB of RAM, a 50MP camera, and a 4,500mAh battery. See price at Amazon Save $100.00 We recently reported on the first significant discount on the Motorola Razr 2025, and that same $100 discount is still available right now. As we've already mentioned, this is the best option as a first foldable flip phone. The Motorola Razr 2025, while affordable, is a great little flip phone, especially if you can take it home for a mere $599.99. Remember, foldable phones tend to be very expensive! While pretty affordable, it's built very nicely. For starters, it comes in a variety of fun color options, and I happen to love the vegan leather back, which looks very unique and feels soft to the touch. It even gets an IP48 rating for some water and dust resistance. This one comes with a capable MediaTek Dimensity 7400X processor and a decent 8GB of RAM. The display is pretty outstanding, too, considering the price point. It measures 6.9 inches. The LTPO AMOLED panel features a Full HD+ resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate that matches that of high-end devices. It does have a smaller external display at 3.6 inches, while the bigger brothers feature a 4-inch one. This phone also gets a 4,500mAh battery capacity, which may not sound like much, but it is really good in the world of foldable flip phones. You also get 30W wired charging and 15W wireless charging. Motorola Razr Plus 2025 Motorola Razr Plus 2025 (Pantone Mocha Mousse) Motorola Razr Plus 2025 (Pantone Mocha Mousse) Pleasant Pantone colors in a compact, folding phone The mid-tier model in the 2025 Razr series, the Motorola Razr+ comes with a 6.9-inch folding display, the same processor as the 2024 Plus model, and better battery performance with moto ai baked in. A 50MP camera, 12GB of RAM, and plenty of storage mean no compromises versus non-flip phones. See price at Amazon Save $150.00 If you want a bit more from your flip phone, the Motorola Razr Plus 2025 is a great alternative. This one takes things up a notch with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 processor and 12GB of RAM. This should satisfy most demanding users. The LTPO AMOLED 6.9-inch display with a Full HD+ resolution may look identical at first sight, but this one is very special. It features a buttery smooth 165Hz refresh rate, which beats most of the competition in the smartphone industry. This one comes with a 4-inch external screen, though, which is nice if you would rather not unfold the phone all the time. In terms of design, you get an even better construction. This one has a titanium hinge, while keeping the same aluminum frame and vegan leather back. The IP48 rating sticks around, too. All that said, the battery is smaller at 4,000mAh, but it can charge faster at 45W wired and 15W wirelessly. Regardless, it is a pretty awesome phone everywhere else. Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 Motorola Razr Ultra + free 1TB upgrade and Moto Watch Fit Motorola Razr Ultra + free 1TB upgrade and Moto Watch Fit High-end processing power in a folding shell Adding Ultra to the name, the Motorola Razr Ultra is the first folding phone from Moto with a top-tier processor. The 7-inch folding display is paired with a half-size front display to give you both a premium experience, and a compact and portable communication device. See price at Motorola Save $399.99 Now, if you really want a high-end experience, this isn't only the best Motorola flip phone, but to many, it is the very best one in the industry. This is because the Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 has a premium phone's DNA. For starters, it has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, the same as what you'll find on powerful phones like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. This flip phone is also supercharged with 16GB of RAM, so its performance will match that of the best phones around. You'll also get a really nice 7.0-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a smooth 165Hz refresh rate. Again, that is among the best refresh rates in the industry. Not to mention, it has a sharper 2,912 x 1,224 resolution. It also has the largest battery in the series, clocking in at 4,700mAh. The charging speeds are blazing fast, offering 68W wired charging and 30W wireless charging. The design is gorgeous, offering the same soft, leather-like back. There's also a wooden design now, and you still get that IP48 rating for water and dust resistance. The thing about this deal is that you're not exactly getting a discount, but you are getting a couple of really nice freebies included. For starters, you'll get a free upgrade to 1TB of storage, which is usually $200 extra. Additionally, Motorola is throwing in a $199.99 free Moto Watch Fit. That is a pretty nice deal, if you ask us. Are you taking advantage of any of these deals? Make sure to act quickly. We can't see them lasting too long. If you want to check out other options, you should take a look at our list of the best foldable phones. Follow

Watch These 3 "Mag 7" Stocks Showing Positive Momentum
Richard Driehaus has secured a spot in Barron's All-Century Team thanks to a strategy based on the "buy high and sell higher" theory. This approach is undeniably effective for selecting top momentum stocks. To that end, the magnificent seven stocks like Inc. AMZN, Alphabet Inc. GOOGL and Meta Platforms, Inc. META have been selected as the momentum picks for the day using the Driehaus strategy. A Detailed Look Into the Driehaus Strategy Regarding the strategy, Driehaus once said, 'I would much rather invest in a stock that's increasing in price and take the risk that it may begin to decline than invest in a stock that's already in decline and try to guess when it will turn around.' In line with this insight, the American Association of Individual Investors ('AAII') considered the percentage 50-day moving average as one of the key criteria before creating a portfolio following Driehaus' philosophy. It is calculated by dividing the numerator (month-end price minus 50-day moving average of month-end price) by the 50-day moving average of the month-end price. Another momentum indicator — positive relative strength — has also been included in this strategy. A positive percentage 50-day moving average indicates that the stock is trading at a price higher than its 50-day moving average level, indicating an uptrend. Moreover, AAII found that Driehaus primarily focuses on strong earnings growth rates and impressive earnings projections to pick potential outperformers. Companies with a strong history of beating estimates are also given importance in this strategy, which was made to provide better returns over the long term. Screening Parameters Using Research Wizard: To make the strategy more profitable, we have considered only those stocks that have a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) and a Momentum Score of A or B. Our research shows that stocks with a Style Score of A or B, combined with a Zacks Rank #3, offer a solid upside potential. • Zacks Rank Equal to #3 Whether the market is good or bad, stocks with a Zacks Rank #3 have a proven history of outperformance.

These few parameters have narrowed the universe of more than 7,743 stocks to only 13. Here are three of the 13 stocks: Amazon Amazon engages in the retail sale of consumer products, advertising and subscription services through online and physical stores in North America and internationally. Amazon has a Momentum Score of A. The trailing four-quarter earnings surprise for AMZN is 23%, on average. Alphabet Alphabet provides a range of products and platforms across multiple regions, including the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Asia-Pacific, Canada and Latin America. Alphabet has a Momentum Score of B. The trailing four-quarter earnings surprise for GOOGL is 16%, on average. Meta Platforms Meta Platforms focuses on creating products that allow individuals to connect and share with friends and family using mobile devices, personal computers, virtual reality, mixed reality headsets, augmented reality and wearables globally.

Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos Loses $17 Billion Following Company's Mixed Q2 Earnings
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Jeff Bezos, the founder and Executive Chairman of Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), saw his net worth take a plunge, alongside the shares of his company, following its second quarter results last week. What Happened: The fourth-richest man in the world, with a net worth of $237 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, lost $17 billion last week on Friday, from $254 billion the prior day, after investors were unimpressed with the company's second-quarter earnings. The stock was down 8.27% on Friday, following the company's results, despite it beating consensus estimates on sales and earnings. Don't Miss: 7,000+ investors have joined Timeplast's mission to eliminate microplastics— This AI-Powered Trading Platform Has 5,000+ Users, 27 Pending Patents, and a $43.97M Valuation — You Can Become an Investor for Just $500.25 This was largely attributed to the slowing momentum in the company's AWS cloud computing segment, which generated $10.2 billion in sales during the quarter, up 17.5% year-over-year, which fell short of consensus estimates at 20%. Amazon shares currently constitute a significant chunk of Bezos' net worth, with 884 million shares, or 8.3% of total shares outstanding, which, at the stock's current market price, is valued at $190 billion. The rest of his fortune comprises Blue Origin, his space exploration company, which, being privately held, is valued at the cost of investment. Why It Matters: According to analyst Eric Allen of Stealth, the market's reaction to the company's earnings was 'totally wrong,' since this was a capacity issue, with Amazon unable to meet the growing demand for its AWS computing resources. Amazon reported $167.7 billion in sales during the quarter, up 13% year-over-year, and ahead of consensus estimates at $161.9 billion. It posted a profit of $1.68 per share, which again beat analyst consensus estimates at $1.30. Bezos has been consistently offloading his stake in the company he founded, having sold 95 million shares in 2024 and 2025 so far, with net proceeds of $18.2 billion.
