Apple has released updated MacBook Air and Mac Studio models with spec bumps, and a new color option for the MacBook Air.
The MacBook Air gains the M4 chip and is now available in a new light blue color option that Apple calls ‘sky blue’. Meanwhile, the Mac Studio gains the M4 Max and M3 Ultra chip options.
Amazon is back with some great deals again, this time offering the fantastic 27″ Apple Studio Display for just $1299, and the Apple Watch Series 10 for just $329. Why pay full price when you don’t have to?
Apple has given the iPad Air lineup a spec-bump update to include M3 chips, but otherwise the new iPad Air remains pretty much the same as the previous M2 model.
The second beta versions of iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, and MacOS Sequoia 15.4 are available for users enrolled in the beta testing programs for the Apple operating system suite.

There are also new Emoji icons available in the latest betas, including a tired face, a fingerprint, and a shovel.
Amazon has returned with more great deals on Apple products, including taking $100 off the all-new iPad mini 7, taking 18% off the Apple Watch Series 10, and getting an AirTags 4-pack for just $70. Check out the deals!
AirTags are powerful and handy personal trackers for being able to track and locate your possessions with the Find My network, whether you’re keeping an eye on your luggage, purse, briefcase, car, bike, scooter, a dog, cat, horse, cow (hey why not?), package, or just about anything else you can imagine would be useful to track. Right now Amazon is selling an AirTag 4-pack for just $65, which is $16 per AirTag, and the lowest price ever seen for a 4-pack, down from the $99 retail price. With AirTags this cheap you might as well grab a few and try them out!

Whether you’re a regular video and audio editor or just have occasional needs to do so, you might appreciate using the handy free LosslessCut app, the “swiss army knife of lossless video/audio editing”, which allows for lossless editing and cutting of video and audio files.
LosslessCut lets you quickly extract, remove, add, and combine audio and video tracks from both video and audio files, helping you to make quick work of these tasks without having to re-encode the media file, which typically results in losing quality (hence the lossless feature, and namesake). It’s quite fast and uses the command line ffmpeg tool under the hood.
Amazon is offering the 10th generation iPad at a 20% discount, taking the price down to $279 from the $349 retail price from Apple. The iPad 10th gen model features a modern design, 10.9″ Retina LCD display, A14 chip, Touch ID on the power button, 64GB base storage, 12MP front and back cameras, all day battery life, and is available in four different color options.
One caveat to consider when looking at the 10th gen iPad is whether or not you want Apple Intelligence support on your iPad, because this model does not support those features. But for the price point, or your particular use case, or your opinions on Apple Intelligence in general, you might not care about that.

AMBER alerts are well intentioned and aim to help locate missing children, but can also be incredibly disruptive and jarring, thus many iPhone and Apple Watch users might want to disable AMBER alerts on their devices. By turning off AMBER alerts, you will avoid the sudden screeching loud alarm sound that is disruptive to whatever you’re doing, whether you’re sleeping, in a meeting, a library, at a performance, or whatever else you’re doing that you might not want to be startled by a screamingly loud alarm sound coming from the government directly to your iPhone or Apple Watch.
One of the most annoying things about AMBER alerts is that they’re not always location precise, sometimes they’re off by hundreds or even thousands of miles (for example, I’ve received an AMBER alert for California while in Seattle… not that useful!). They can also be glaringly loud even if the iPhone or Apple Watch is in silent mode or muted, and so when you combine these factors, many users might want to disable these features.
If you want to have a much less intrusive experience on your iPhone and Apple Watch, you might decide you wish to opt out of AMBER alerts and disable the intrusive alarm on your devices.
