Upgrade to One of These Refurbished iPhones for as Little as $295
Apple is regularly responsible for some of the best phones around, and you don't always have to buy the latest model to get a great device. Even the older ones are more than capable, and buying a refurbished one is one way to get a top phone for less. Woot is now offering a number of options starting with the iPhone 12 Pro for just $295 and going from there.
That's the cheapest model available, but while the premium iPhone 15 Pro is already sold out, you can still get your hands on the iPhone 14 Pro for as little as $395. There are plenty of other options for you to choose from, too.
As mentioned, these phones are refurbished with Woot listing them as "S&D" models. That means that you should expect them to have "a moderate level of wear and tear including (but not limited to) scratches, dents and dings," Woot says. But functionally, they'll be in full working condition with batteries that are good for at least 80% of their original capacity.

Wall Street's rally stalls as US stocks dip for their 1st loss in 4 days
NEW YORK — Wall Street's rally stalled on Wednesday after U.S. stocks climbed back within 2% of their all-time high. The Standard & Poor's 500 fell 0.3% for its first loss in four days. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was virtually unchanged after edging down by 1 point, and the Nasdaq composite slipped 0.5%. Several Big Tech stocks led the way lower, and a 1.9% drop for Apple was the heaviest weight on the market. It's been listless this week after unveiling several modest upcoming changes to the software that runs its devices. The action was stronger in the bond market, where Treasury yields eased after a report suggested President Trump's tariffs are not pushing inflation much higher, at least not yet. U.S. consumers had to pay prices for food, gasoline and other costs of living that were 2.4% higher overall in May than a year earlier. That was up from April's 2.3% inflation rate, but it wasn't as bad as the 2.5% that Wall Street was expecting. A fear has been that Trump's wide-ranging tariffs could ignite an acceleration in inflation, just when it had seemed to get nearly all the way back to the Federal Reserve's 2% target from more than 9% three summers ago. It hasn't happened, though economists warn it may take months more to feel the full effect of Trump's tariffs. 'Another month goes by with little evidence of tariffs, but the longer-term inflation challenge they pose remain,' according to Ellen Zentner, chief economic strategist for Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. Financial markets also had only modest reactions to the conclusion of two days of trade talks between the United States and China in London. Trump said Wednesday that China will supply rare-earth minerals and magnets to the United States, while his government will allow Chinese students into U.S. universities in a deal that still needs an agreement by him and by China's leader. Trump also said that 'President XI and I are going to work closely together to open up China to American Trade. This would be a great WIN for both countries!!!' Investors are still hoping for a more sweeping trade deal that would ease tensions between the world's two largest economies. Hopes for such deals between the United States and countries around the world have been one of the main reasons the S&P 500 has charged nearly all the way back to its all-time high after dropping roughly 20% below a couple months ago. Without them, the fear is that Trump's high tariffs could drive the economy into a recession while pushing inflation higher. The S&P 500 is now sitting 2% below its record. On Wall Street, Chewy dropped 11% after the seller of pet supplies reported a weaker profit for the latest quarter than analysts had forecast. Expectations were high after its stock had already rallied nearly 37% coming into the day for the year so far. Tesla swung between gains and losses before finishing with a rise of 0.1% to continue its shaky run. It's been recovering much of its big losses taken last week after Elon Musk's relationship with Trump imploded, which in turn raised fears about a loss of business for the electric-vehicle company. Musk on Wednesday backed away from some of his earlier comments and said they went 'too far.' All told, the S&P 500 fell 16.57 points to 6,022.24. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 1.10 to 42,865.77, and the Nasdaq composite sank 99.11 to 19,615.88. In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury eased to 4.41% from 4.47% late Tuesday. Shorter-term yields, which more closely track expectations for what the Fed will do with overnight interest rates, fell more. Wednesday's better-than-expected reading on inflation raised expectations along Wall Street that the Fed could cut its main interest rate at least twice by the end of the year. The Fed has been keeping interest rates steady so far this year, going on pause after cutting rates at the end of last year. It has been waiting to see how much Trump's tariffs raise inflation because cutting interest rates could push inflation up even more, in addition to giving the economy a boost. 'The Fed could be justified in doing some preemptive rate cuts,' said Brian Jacobsen, chief economist at Annex Wealth Management. 'They were afraid that inflation would rise before growth would slow, but the script has been flipped and they will likely change their tune.' In stock markets abroad, indexes fell across much of Europe after rising in Asia. South Korea's Kospi was one of the best performers and jumped 1.2%. Choe writes for the Associated Press.

Apple is salvaging Image Playground with a boost from ChatGPT
When Apple first unveiled Image Playground last year, the company touted it as a quick and easy way to generate personalized, original images with the help of Apple Intelligence. Upon launch, the app was met with skepticism, as some users were disappointed by its limitations and low-quality results. For example, one Reddit user was surprised to find that Image Playground kept generating an image of a hand with six fingers when prompted to create an 'up close image of a hand.' In another instance, a user was unable to receive images of simple descriptions, such as 'old man' or 'flower.' Some people even questioned what the point of the app was, noting that it seemed juvenile when compared to popular AI image generators. (Of course, not everybody dislikes the app; some have described it as being a fun experience). Fast-forward to this year's WWDC, where the tech giant announced that it's going to boost Image Playground with a ChatGPT integration, which should allow for a better, more advanced AI image generation service. With the new ChatGPT integration, users will be able to access more styles that move beyond the emoji-like creations that Image Playground has become known for. Images can be created in the following new styles: Oil Painting, Watercolor, Vector, Anime, and Print. In addition, people will be able to select a new 'Any Style' option that allows them to describe exactly what they want. These new styles will be visible under a banner that reads 'ChatGPT style.' Image Credits:Apple In the past, users were limited to Animation, Illustration, Sketch, and Genmoji styles. Techcrunch event Save $200+ on your TechCrunch All Stage pass Build smarter. Scale faster.

Boston, MA | REGISTER NOW Apple says that Image Playground will send a user's description to ChatGPT to generate an image. The tech giant notes that it won't share anything with ChatGPT without users' permission. By integrating ChatGPT into Image Playground, Apple is giving the app another shot at attracting users while positioning its AI image creation tool as a more well-rounded competitor to other similar free apps. Plus, it makes sense for Apple to leverage ChatGPT to boost Image Playground, especially since the company has already tapped OpenAI's tools in other ways. Last year, Apple announced that it was bringing ChatGPT to Siri and other first-party apps and capabilities across its operating systems. With Siri, the assistant leverages ChatGPT when it's unable to answer a question or its own or when a user specifically asks Siri to send an inquiry to ChatGPT. Apple has also integrated ChatGPT into system-wide tools like Writing Tools, allowing users to generate, rewrite, and summarize text in apps like Notes and Mail. The updated Image Playground app is expected to launch alongside the release of iOS 26 this fall.

Apple (AAPL) Gets Buy Rating Despite AI Letdown at WWDC25, Says Goldman Sachs
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is one of the 10 AI Stocks on Wall Street's Radar. One of the most notable analyst calls on Tuesday, June 10th, was for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL). Goldman Sachs reiterated the stock as 'Buy' with a $253 price target. The tech giant hosted its annual developers' conference on Monday, failing to introduce substantial artificial intelligence updates. Nevertheless, the firm said it's sticking with the stock following its Worldwide Developers Conference reveal. 'AAPL traded down ~1% following the WWDC25 keynote (note: AAPL declined 2% last year after WWDC24), where the company announced design improvements and new features across its operating systems and first-party apps, but failed to demonstrate substantial progress in Apple Intelligence.' The company has also confirmed that any enhancements to make Siri more personal are postponed till next year. This is very unlike last year's conference, where Siri was a highlight and mentioned numerous times. Despite these disappointments, analysts at Goldman Sachs believe that Apple is still a leader in consumer devices, with new features aimed at improving the user experience. These features include a new user interface named 'Liquid Glass,' AI-driven capabilities, enhanced Visual Intelligence, and several quality-of-life features. Looking ahead, the firm anticipates an upcoming improvement in the iPhone replacement cycle, which aligns with the introduction of new iPhone models in the years 2025, 2026, and 2027. 'We are Buy-rated on AAPL as we believe that the market's focus on slower product revenue growth masks the strength of the Apple ecosystem and associated revenue durability & visibility.' Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is a technology company known for its consumer electronics, particularly the iPhones and MacBooks. While we acknowledge the potential of AAPL as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.
