This is now the best value of any Mac in Apple’s lineup.

Whether you’re wearing them for the morning commute, while traveling, or if you’re simply trying to find some peace and quiet while working at home, noise-canceling headphones are a more essential piece of kit nowadays than ever before. And you’ve got a slew of great options to pick from; it’s hard to make a bad choice. There are the longtime heavyweights like Bose and Sony to pick from. Apple has quickly carved into the market with the luxurious AirPods Max. And if you’ve got an ear that deman…

Many fans were frustrated by outrageous prices for the UK shows.

It has zero bearing on the experience of actually using your phone, but I agree with iFixit that Apple’s choice to explore new battery tech in every iPhone 16 except for the Max is... odd. The 16 / 16 Plus have a very cool new removal method. The standard Pro’s battery is encased in metal. But the Max? Regular battery like always.
