Apple Didn't Approve, but Amazon Is Clearing Out AirPods Pro 2 at a Record Low for Prime Day
Normally these earbuds cost $249, but Amazon is offering them over 30% off early Prime Day, reducing the price to as low as $169. This deal is for everyone (and not just Prime members) and it is a rarity for an Apple device. Remember, Apple never really offers straight discounts and many are waiting for Prime Day or Black Friday to get Apple devices at a markdown.

The AirPods Pro 2 offer an entire hearing health experience, starting with a science-based hearing test to active hearing protection as good as clinic-grade.
The intelligent noise control technology pushes it even further with active noise cancellation that takes away up to twice as much background noise as before. Transparency mode tunes you in to what's going on around you, and adaptive audio combines noise cancellation with transparency for the best listening under any conditions. Conversation awareness is another intelligent feature and it knows to turn the volume down automatically so you never miss a word when you're speaking with someone nearby.
Personalized spatial audio is one of the unique features that molds the sound to your unique ear shape and uses dynamic head tracking to deliver a surround-sound immersion: You can listen to a few select songs, TV programs and movies in Dolby Atmos, enhancing your entertainment to be more real than ever. It's easy and simple to control: swipe, press, or hold the stem to manage playback, and Siri interactions for hands-free.
With the Apple-designed H2 chip and a driver tuned by Apple, you'll have incredibly immersive sound with crisp highs and deep bass. Voice isolation technology results in your calls sounding as distinct as they do while walking down a quiet street. If you're looking for earbuds that provide high-quality audio for music, podcasts, and calling, these Apple earbuds are unbeatable.
They also come equipped with four sets of silicone tips of different sizes so that you can pick the perfect fit for your ears. The tips create an acoustic seal that prevents noise and keeps earbuds in position even during high-intensity workout or prolonged listening. The earbuds and MagSafe charging case are both IP54 certified for water, sweat, and dust resistance.
Battery life is also a plus with up to six hours of playtime on one battery with active noise cancellation enabled and up to thirty hours total with the case. The case itself is full of functionality and includes precision finding, a built-in speaker, and a durable lanyard loop for easy carrying. It is supported by several charging styles, including Apple Watch and MagSafe chargers, USB-C, and Qi-certified wireless chargers.
For only $169 early Prime Day, AirPods Pro 2 are now as affordable as most cheap earbuds without sacrificing any of it. Make sure you grab yours before they run out of stock.

New phone safety features can help kids. But they only work if parents set them up
Keeping kids safe online can be a full-time job for parents. While good communication between parents and children is key, moms and dads should set kids up for success by placing parental controls on devices. Apple has a new software update; coming in September, iOS 26 expands tools that can help in the effort. For parents whose children have an iPhone, they can now play a role in deciding who their kids can text through Messages. If children want to communicate with a new phone number, they will need to get permission from their parents. It's a one-tap approval method for mom or dad, but gives parents a heads up that someone new may be entering their kids' digital life. Kids will also be able to send a parental approval request to chat, follow or friend users in any third-party apps (not developed by Apple) as well. Child Accounts have the user's age-range information. Now parents can share those details with app developers while keeping the child's birth date private. If developers receive the age information, they may better provide age-appropriate experiences for those users. Moms and dads can decide whether they want their kids' age range information shared with all apps or only those they select. Children cannot decide how their age range information is shared unless their parents allow them to do so. Whether or not a young person's account was set up as a Child Account, these age-appropriate protections will be enabled for all users 13 to 17. Web content filters, age ratings and Communication Safety will all be enacted on those accounts. Utah was the first state in the country to pass a bill requiring app stores to verify kids' ages. The state's App Store Accountability Act requires app stores — not individual apps — to seek parental consent before allowing minors to download apps. Each app on the App Store already shows its age rating based on information provided by developers. For parents, that's often a first check to help them decide whether the app would be appropriate for their child to download. Right now, those ratings are for ages 4+, 9+, 12+ and 17+. That leaves a big gap for teenagers. What may be appropriate for a 13 year old may not be for a 16 year old. Apple is helping by expanding age ratings by the end of the year, when you will see additional guidance for 4+ and 9+, but then 13+, 16+ and 18+. Since these age ratings are also used for parental control features like Screen Time and Ask to Buy, these differentiations will likely be helpful for many parents. Communication Safety is a feature that aims to stop kids from seeing nudity. If something explicit is detected in a photo or video a child receives or is trying to send, the image will be blurred. In the upcoming iOS 26 update, that capability will also apply to FaceTime. Apple says it will 'intervene' when nudity is detected in FaceTime video calls and will also blur out any nudity in Shared Albums in Photos. How do Android phones stack up against these parental controls? For those under 18, Google Messages triggers a sensitive content warning when it detects images that contain nudity. That prompts an Android device to blur those images and give helpful resources to users who receive that type of content. Parents can control the feature through Family Link for Supervised users. It's off by default for adults and unsupervised teen accounts, but users can turn it on in settings. This feature does not work for videos. Google Meet has an Acceptable Use Policy that prohibits nudity but only has the blurring capability in Messages. For now, apps in the Google Play Store follow the age ratings from the International Age Rating Coalition which are similar to those Apple has favored in the past. They break age categories into 3+, 7+, 12+, 16+ and 18+. When it comes to texting, parents of teens with Android phones can turn on 'Only allow calls and texts from phone contacts:' through Family Link. This blocks incoming texts from unknown numbers, but not outgoing ones. And worth noting: Android allows the incoming calls and text to go through if a child has reached out to that number within the past month. Giving parents more options to monitor how their kids spend time online is helpful. But while these companies grant the ability to have parental controls, they only work if moms and dads actually set them up. If parents haven't yet set up monitoring through Family Share for Apple or Family Link for Google, it's never too late to start.
