Apple's work-from-home powerhouse is 24% off… and about to go extinct
Hard-hitting MacBook deals are rare. People love their products and will happily buy them at full price, so sales aren't as incentivized as with other products. So, when we see a $400 savings on the most powerful version (the 24GB of RAM one) of the MacBook Air M3, dropping its price from $1,699 to $1,299, we love it. And that's exactly what's happening as part of this early Prime Day deal and one of the most exciting laptop deals in recent dates. Tap the button below to see it for yourself, or keep reading to get all of the details about the MacBook Air M3, what we discovered when we used it ourself, and why this deal may be the last of its kind. Why you should buy the 24GB RAM MacBook Air M3 From a zoomed-out perspective, the 15-inch MacBook Air products, with either the M2 or M3 chip inside, have long been considered some of the best work from home laptops. The reasoning is simple — they're affordable MacBooks with decent speakers and a great battery life in case you want to hustle at the coffeeshop. If you're an Apple fan, have one of the best iPhones and keep up with AirPods deals, these laptops are made for you. But, it gets better. When looking through those work from home laptops, we were happy to recommend the 16GB RAM and M3 chip version. The laptop we see on sale today is the 24GB RAM and M3 chip version, a significant upgrade. To put it into perspective, our 2024 RAM guide considers 16GB to be for 'top-tier machines.' This MacBook Air with 24GB has professional grade mechanics and will absolutely withstand your Chrome-tab-hoarding tendencies. But, it's going extinct. As we recently reported, the M3 and M2 MacBook Air laptops are disappearing for good now that the 10/10 MacBook Air M4 is out and about. That means that this chance to get a 15-inch MacBook Air M3 with 24GB of RAM isn't just a chance to get it for $400 off (making it $1,299, not $1,699). It makes it one of your last chances to get it. Period. So, if you want this deal (or a MacBook Air M3) be sure to tap the button below while you can.

Every iPhone model that won't get free iOS 26 upgrade revealed – millions to miss out as exact list confirmed by Apple
MILLIONS of older iPhones are set to be locked out of Apple's next big update. Apple fans across the world are due to get the free iOS 26 upgrade later this year, giving their iPhones bonus features at no extra cost. 10 That'll include a robot that holds on phone calls so you don't have to, the ability to send polls in Messages, a translation feature that lets you understand foreign languages in real time – plus a brand new "glassy" look for your iPhone icons and menus. These tempting perks were announced during today's special Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) event at Apple's California HQ. It's coming to dozens of iPhone models going back years – but not all Apple customers are on the lucky list. Several once-posh iPhone models are being cut-off, despite being able to get last year's iOS 18 update. Phones as far back as the iPhone 11 and iPhone SE (2nd gen) will be able to get iOS 26. But if you've got an iPhone XR, iPhone XS, or iPhone XS Max, you're out in the cold. Anything older than that won't be eligible for the upgrade either – but that's no surprise, as they would've missed iOS 18 too. Here's the full list of iPhone models getting Apple's iOS 26 update: iPhone 16e iPhone 16 iPhone 16 Plus iPhone 16 Pro iPhone 16 Pro Max iPhone 15 iPhone 15 Plus iPhone 15 Pro iPhone 15 Pro Max iPhone 14 iPhone 14 Plus iPhone 14 Pro iPhone 14 Pro Max iPhone 13 iPhone 13 mini iPhone 13 Pro iPhone 13 Pro Max iPhone 12 iPhone 12 mini iPhone 12 Pro iPhone 12 Pro Max iPhone 11 iPhone 11 Pro iPhone 11 Pro Max iPhone SE (3rd gen) iPhone SE (2nd gen) If you've got an older iPhone, now would be a good time to upgrade – or you'll miss out. iPhone 16e review – I've secretly tested Apple's cheapest mobile and I love the new button but that's not the best bit THE SECOND CUT-OFF It's worth noting that just because you can get iOS 26 doesn't mean you'll unlock the full suite of features either. Some artificial intelligence perks under the Apple Intelligence banner only appear on the very newest model. For those, you'll need one of the following gadgets: iPhone 16e iPhone 16 iPhone 16 Plus iPhone 16 Pro iPhone 16 Pro Max iPhone 15 Pro iPhone 15 Pro Max 10 10 10 You don't necessarily need Apple Intelligence to get by, but it has some handy benefits. It lets you create custom Genmoji emoji, can help you rewrite emails, and lets you use Siri to tap into ChatGPT. WHAT'S NEW IN IOS 26? For a start, it's called iOS 26 and not iOS 19 as expected. That means Apple is matching the main year for the software, making naming simpler. This is true for iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro software too. 10 There's a new look for apps with glassy, translucent, round-edged icons and circular buttons, and a transparent design borrowed from the Apple Vision Pro headset. The Phone app has been upgraded to streaming your Favourites, Recents, and Voicemails into a single panel. Safari has a glossy new design, and the Camera app has been simplified. Messages now allows you to send polls, and set synced backgrounds for your chats. 10 And there's a new Apple Intelligence feature that lets you combine two emoji into one.
