Apple's MacBook Air M4 drops to a record-low price
You can pick up the 13-inch MacBook Air M4 for $799, down from $999 — a 20 percent discount. This model comes with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. You can upgrade to 512GB SSD for $999, down from $1,199, another all-time low price, or 24GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD for $1,199, down from $1,399.

Then there's the 15-inch MacBook Air M4, whose cheapest model is on sale for $999, dropping from $1,199. The 17 percent discount is the best deal we've seen since the pair debuted in March. As with the 13-inch model, the 16GB and 512GB SSD option is also a record-low price, dropping to $1,199 from $1,399. Then there's the 24GB upgrade, which is $1,399, down from $1,599.
We're big fans of the MacBook Air M4, giving it a 92 in our review. Part of that comes from an already lower starting price for the MacBooks than their predecessors. The 2025 models also get a speed boost thanks to the M4 chip and are very thin with a 0.44-inch thickness. Neither the 13- or 15-inch will drag you down, weighing 2.7 pounds and 3.2 pounds, respectively. Plus, they both have excellent battery life, lasting over 18 hours while playing an HD video.
The big differences in the 15-inch model mostly come down to size. The screen is obviously bigger, as is its trackpad. Other than that, it offers better speakers than its 13-inch sibling.

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?

This news came shortly after Apple (AAPL) committed an additional $100 billion investment in the U.S. over the next four years. This follows a positive day for the broader market, with the S&P 500, the Nasdaq Composite, and the Dow gaining 0.7%, 1.2%, and 0.2%.

Apple (AAPL) May Take a $10B Hit From Google Ruling, Yet Analyst Sees Upside
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is one of the . On August 4, BofA Securities analyst Wamsi Mohan reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $240.00 price target. According to the firm, Apple may lose half of the $20 bn along with annual payment from Google if it is not required to pay Apple anything related to search. 'In our opinion, if Google is mandated to not pay Apple for anything related to search, then Apple could potentially lose half of the $20bn+ annual payment from Google. This amount is accounted for as part of Apple Services revenue (as Google TAC) and has a high drop-through to the bottom line (it's a pure royalty type payment). Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay The firm believes the ruling would only apply to the US, and that Apple should be able to receive payment for search traffic sent to Google outside the US. 'We estimate that Apple may lose half of the $20bn since we believe the judge's ruling would likely apply only in the U.S. (given the court's jurisdiction) and we estimate about ½ of Google's search Ad revenue comes from the U.S. Apple should still be able to get paid for search traffic sent to Google outside the U.S. In this scenario. We estimate that the potential loss $10bn+ would represent about 8% of Apple's annual operating profit dollars.' Apple is a technology company known for its consumer electronics, software, and services. While we acknowledge the potential of AAPL as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
