Last-Minute Memorial Day Deal: Your Last Chance to Pay Just $75 for 4 Apple AirTags
The big Memorial Day sales might be over, but this Apple AirTags deal is still hanging on. Losing things like your keys or wallet is nobody's idea of a good time, and that's why Bluetooth trackers are so handy. If you have an iPhone, Apple's AirTag trackers are the go-to option for most people, and with good reason. You can put them just about anywhere, and you can even throw an AirTag in your luggage for if (or when) it gets lost during your summer travels.
Unfortunately, they aren't super affordable for everyone. But right now, you can grab a four-pack of Apple AirTags for $75 during Amazon's Memorial Day sale. That brings the price down to just $19 per AirTag, but we don't expect this deal to last too much longer.
AirTags are some of our favorite Bluetooth trackers. They work seamlessly with your iPhone and its Find My app with a simple one-tap pairing process. You can then throw a tracker in a pocket or luggage as is or grab an AirTag accessory to attach it to keys, a bag, a pet collar, a bike or anything else you want to keep track of.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
Once set up, the AirTags will appear in the Find My app and display your items on a map so you can quickly locate them. If an item is in your vicinity, you can play a sound from the AirTag's tiny speaker with the Find My app and use the Precision Finding feature to be guided to your lost possession. This is handy if you're looking for your keys or wallet in a hotel or Airbnb as you won't be as familiar with the property yet. Simply follow the sound to your missing item.
If you lose an item outside where you're staying, you can put your AirTag in Lost mode, which enables notifications for when the AirTag is detected on the Find My network and allows you to add a message, including your phone number or email address.
Each AirTag is powered by a CR2032 coin battery, four of which are included with your purchase. The batteries last around a year before you need to replace them. AirTags are rated IP67, making them water- and dust-resistant, so you don't have to worry about damage if they're exposed to the elements, which let's face it, is a higher chance when you're on vacation
Why this deal matters
AirTags are an efficient, simple way to keep track of your belongings, whether you're about to travel or you know someone who constantly loses their wallet or keys. Since the Memorial Day weekend is officially over, these AirTags might not stay on sale for too much longer. In fact, this deal could even expire or sell out at any moment, so grab yours now if you're interested.

Football and other premium TV being pirated at 'industrial scale'
A lack of action by big tech firms is enabling the "industrial scale theft" of premium video services, especially live sport, a new report says. The research by Enders Analysis accuses Amazon, Google, Meta and Microsoft of "ambivalence and inertia" over a problem it says costs broadcasters revenue and puts users at an increased risk of cyber-crime. Gareth Sutcliffe and Ollie Meir, who authored the research, described the Amazon Fire Stick - which they argue is the device many people use to access illegal streams - as "a piracy enabler". BBC News has contacted Amazon, Google, Meta and Microsoft for comment. Sports broadcasting is big business, with the total value of media rights across the world passing the $60bn (£44bn) mark last year. The increasing cost of rights deals results in higher prices for fans at home, especially if they choose to pay for multiple services to watch their team play. To get round this, some resort to illegal streams of big events. Enders say there are often multiple streams of individual events - such as high profile football games - each of which can have tens of thousands of people watching them. Bosses of big rights holders, Sky and DAZN, have previously warned piracy is causing a financial crisis in the broadcast industry. There is a risk for users too. The Enders report says fans watching football matches, for instance, via illegal streams are typically providing information such as credit card details and email addresses, leaving them vulnerable to malware and phishing scams. The researchers looked at the European market and focussed on Amazon, Google, Meta and Microsoft. While Meta, the owner of Facebook, was criticised for being the source of adverts for illegal streams, the technology of the other three was blamed for the increase in piracy. The Amazon Fire Stick is a major cause of the problem, according to the report. The device plugs into TVs and gives the viewer thousands of options to watch programmes from legitimate services including the BBC iPlayer and Netflix. They are also being used to access illegal streams, particularly of live sport. In November last year, a Liverpool man who sold Fire Stick devices he reconfigured to allow people to illegally stream Premier League football matches was jailed. After uploading the unauthorised services on the Amazon product, he advertised them on Facebook. Another man from Liverpool was given a two-year suspended sentence last year after modifying fire sticks and selling them on Facebook and WhatsApp. According to data for the first quarter of this year, provided to Enders by Sky, 59% of people in UK who said they had watched pirated material in the last year while using a physical device said they had used a Amazon fire product. The Enders report says the fire stick enables "billions of dollars in piracy" overall. The researchers also pointed to the role played by the "continued depreciation" of Digital Rights Management (DRM) systems, particularly those from Google and Microsoft. This technology enables high quality streaming of premium content to devices. Two of the big players are Microsoft's PlayReady and Google's Widevine. The authors argue the architecture of the DRM is largely unchanged, and due to a lack of maintenance by the big tech companies, PlayReady and Widevine "are now compromised across various security levels". Mr Sutcliffe and Mr Meir said this has had "a seismic impact across the industry, and ultimately given piracy the upper hand by enabling theft of the highest quality content". They added: "Over twenty years since launch, the DRM solutions provided by Google and Microsoft are in steep decline. "A complete overhaul of the technology architecture, licensing, and support model is needed. Lack of engagement with content owners indicates this a low priority."

There's No Apple iOS 19: iPhone 17 To Have iOS 26 In Radical Change, Report Claims
Updated May 30 with more details of the new OS coming to the iPhone, Mac and beyond, and what it means for naming of hardware. Apple is about to radically overhaul its iPhone and other software this year, and it looks like that will even mean make massive changes to the way it names its operating systems, according to a new report. So, the software predicted to be called iOS 19 will actually be iOS 26. Here's what it means — and how it will affect other products in the Apple ecosystem, too, as Bloomberg has just commented. More on that below. On June 9, Apple is set to hold this year's World Wide Developers Conference in Cupertino, California. As part of what's predicted to be the most sweeping software overhaul in more than a decade, Apple will change its naming system out of all recognition. This could have repercussions for the hardware Apple releases, too. Instead of iOS 19, iPadOS 19, macOS 16, tvOS 19 and visionOS 2, Apple will standardize the numbers so they all refer to a year, specifically next year, rather like the way automobiles are named for the upcoming year. This is all according to a new report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who claims the change is 'to bring consistency to its branding.' In a way, it's been brewing for a while, for example with tvOS and iPadOS already having the same number as iOS, even when the number of updates has been widely different. 'The next Apple operating systems will be identified by year, rather than with a version number, according to people with knowledge of the matter. That means the current iOS 18 will give way to 'iOS 26,' said the people, who asked not to be identified because the plan is still private. Other updates will be known as iPadOS 26, macOS 26, watchOS 26, tvOS 26 and visionOS 26,' Gurman claims. There's a logic to this when some operating systems use one number, while others have completely different ones. If cohesion is the goal, this makes sense. Samsung changed the names of its Galaxy S phones to match the year of release back in 2020 with the Galaxy S20. Since the Galaxy S series is announced early in the year, often as soon as January, it understandably matches the number to the current year. And Apple has done something similar in the past when it had software products like iLife and iWork. The August 2007 releases were called iLife 08 and iWork 08, with iLife 11 going on sale in October 2020, as Gurman points out. But wait, I hear you ask, what about the naming of the macOS version? Since OSX, as it was then called, Apple enjoyed naming Mac software after big cats, and then parts of California. In fact, WWDC always had a comical highlight when exec Craig Federighi lightly teased his colleagues in marketing for how they came up with the new name. Well, the new system doesn't preclude a suffix being added, so it could be macOS 26 Miramar, or whatever. But it doesn't seem likely. WWDC won't be the same. What I don't think will happen is that the iPhone names will follow suit. To introduce iPhone 26 instead of iPhone 17 seems far-fetched, especially because the iPhone 16, which will certainly remain in the range, would sound suddenly terribly old-fashioned. But we'll see. The first reveal is less than two weeks away in the WWDC keynote on Monday, June 9. Mark Gurman has also weighed in on the naming of the iPhone. 'It's a good question for SEO, but I would be surprised if Apple moved to the 'iPhone 26' this year,' he commented on X. I agree, though I note in passing that Apple surprised everyone back in 2011 when instead of releasing the iPhone 5, we saw the iPhone 4s. Every editor relying on SEO that I knew at the time went into a hot panic. One other thing: there's a benefit to this new software naming system if you're me, and you keep forgetting that watchOS and Apple Watch releases are just one number out of sync. Apple Watch Series 10 launched alongside watchOS 11. I have confused the numbering on either the hardware or the software more times than I care to remember.
