AirPods Pro 2 Flew Off the Shelves in July, Now Limited Stock Is Back at Back-to-School Pricing

Sometimes you just need to zone out to some music and really soak it all in. Sometimes you need to keep yourself aware of what's going on, but still want to enjoy some great tunes. It can be tricky to find earbuds that'll let you do both, but it's not impossible. In fact, if you know what you're looking for, you can even get some of the best earbuds with big money off.
Right now, Amazon has a deal on that knocks a hefty 32% off Apple's AirPods Pro 2 Earbuds, which means they're just $169 right now. That's an impressive discount, and one that's not likely to be beaten any time soon. There's no telling how long this deal will actually last though, so keep that in mind.

Anyone who owns an iPhone should be keeping an eye on this deal to see if they can afford it, because there are few options better than these. You can still use them with other phones and devices too, but there's no doubt that you'll get the best experience possible if you're an Apple fan.
The AirPods Pro 2 Earbuds boast better sound quality than just about any other earbud or headphone options Apple has ever put out, and along with that, they're packed full of great features as well. The noise control is a huge win here, and allows them to be useful in loads of situations. You can completely shut everything out using active noise-cancelling, which makes them amazing for workouts or commutes, but the transparency mode helps you stay aware of your surroundings, just in case you're walking somewhere, you're at work, or any other situation where you need to keep some awareness around you.
This is all powered by the H2 chip, which massively boosts accuracy, but also means that you can make calls using them, and the AirPods will actively isolate and transmit your voice for clearer sound clarity there too. They have an amazing battery life too, and can even be customized to fit you better, thanks to four different size options in the silicone tips.
We adore these earbuds, and anyone who's rocking an iPhone and looking for an audio upgrade would do well to make the most of this deal. They're not going to stay at $169 forever, and you'll kick yourself if you miss out on this chance to save money on them.

United Airlines ‘Technology Issue' Resolved, But Some Flights Still Face Delays

United Airlines on Wednesday night announced it had resolved a 'technology issue' that had triggered a ground stop for the carrier's flights at major U.S. airports earlier in the evening and triggered hundreds of delays and several dozen cancelations, although the airline was still tackling residual delays triggered by the outage. United Airlines flights were disrupted by technology issues on Wednesday night, causing hundreds of flight delays and cancelations. Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All rights reserved Earlier on Wednesday evening, the airline told several news outlets that it was 'holding United mainline flights at their departure airports,' due to a 'technology issue,' without offering specifics. In a post on X, Transport Secretary Sean Duffy said United CEO Scott Kirby had briefed him on the matter, adding that 'the issue was specific to United's operations, and is unrelated to the broader air traffic control system.' In a notification on its website later on Wednesday night, the company said it has resolved the 'technology issues that had been affecting flights,' but noted it was still experiencing delays as its team works to restore normal operations. The Federal Aviation Administration also issued a statement saying it was aware that United 'experienced a technology issue disrupting their operations,' and noted: 'We've offered full support to help address their flight backlog.' According to FlightAware data, nearly 1100 United Airlines flights faced delays on Wednesday, which is 35% of the carrier's scheduled flights for the day. In addition to this, 157 United flights were canceled. The residual impact of the ground stop was still being felt after midnight, as 70 flights scheduled for Thursday had been canceled, while 79 had been delayed.

Your iPhone's missing volume bar is back — here's how to enable it

Apple removed the volume bar from iPhone lock screens when iOS 16 launched, forcing users to rely solely on physical volume buttons for audio adjustments. While those buttons work fine, they only let you increase or decrease volume in set increments, often leaving you stuck between too loud and too quiet. The good news is that iOS 18 brought back the option to display a volume slider directly on your lock screen, giving you precise control over audio levels without unlocking your device. Whether you're listening to music at the gym, podcasts on your commute, or videos at home, having that familiar volume bar back makes fine-tuning audio much more convenient. Here's how to bring back the volume bar. Tap the Settings app on your iPhone's home screen to get started with bringing back the volume bar. Scroll down until you see "Accessibility" and tap on it to open the accessibility menu. This section contains various features designed to make your iPhone easier to use, including the option to restore the lock screen volume bar. Look for the "Hearing" category within Accessibility settings and you'll see several options listed underneath it. Tap on "Audio & Visual" which contains settings related to how your iPhone handles sound and visual feedback. The "Always Show Volume Control" option is located within this Audio & Visual submenu. Find the "Always Show Volume Control" option in the Audio & Visual menu and you'll see a toggle switch next to it. Tap the toggle to turn it on — it should turn green when enabled. Once enabled, the setting takes effect immediately and will work the next time you adjust volume while your phone is locked. Lock your iPhone and start playing some music or a podcast to test the restored volume bar functionality. Press either volume button on the side of your phone and you should now see the familiar volume slider appear on your lock screen. Try sliding the volume bar with your finger to make precise adjustments rather than being limited to the fixed increments of the physical buttons. The volume bar will now appear on your lock screen every time you're playing audio and adjust the volume using either the physical buttons or by tapping directly on the slider. The volume bar automatically disappears after a few seconds, keeping your lock screen looking clean. Now you've learned how to bring back your iPhone's missing volume bar, why not take a look at some of our other useful guides?
