As of Feb. 3, you can get it for just $79.95 at Amazon. That's 20% off the list price and just $10 more than its all-time low price.
The Fitbit Inspire 3 does everything you'd need a basic fitness tracker to do — it tracks your steps, heart rate, sleep patterns, and more. It also has menstrual health tracking and includes a six-month Premium Fitbit membership, which gives you access to additional health metrics and personalized insights.

While more expensive fitness trackers have additional features like built-in GPS and color displays, the Inspire 3 provides the core functionality most people need. It's also water-resistant up to 50 meters and has a battery life of 10 days on a single charge.
Plus, studies show that less pricey trackers can be surprisingly good at measuring steps and tracking what really matters. A 2020 study published by JMIR mHealth and uHealth tested a bunch of lower-budget fitness trackers and found they were actually pretty decent at tracking steps and estimating sleep, which is usually what most new fitness tracker owners care about the most.

iOS 26 — Apple Unveils New Wallet Feature To Verify Your ID Online
Another new iOS 26 feature has emerged courtesy of Apple-focused site MacRumors — a Verify with ... More Wallet on the Web option. Apple's iOS 26 is shaping up to be a major update to the iPhone maker's operating system, with a bunch of cool new features announced on June 9 at its Worldwide Developer's Conference. Some people don't like the look of iOS 26, which comes with a new design language called Liquid Glass. However, iOS 26 looks like it will be very capable, with headline features including enhancements to Apple Intelligence AI features and the ability to screen calls and messages. Now, another new iOS 26 feature has emerged courtesy of Apple-focused site MacRumors — a Verify with Wallet on the Web option. This new iOS 26 feature works exactly in the way it sounds: You will be able to use your state-issued license or digital ID to verify your age and identity online in a secure way when doing things such as buying liquor or renting a car. In practice, this means you don't have to upload your photo ID such as your passport, which contains details such as your date of birth and name, to a website. Apple's iOS 26 feature can verify your identity instead and the iPhone maker will also inform you of how the data will be used and let you know if the information will be stored by the site. The whole process is protected by end-to-end encryption, the gold standard of security which means no one can see your data, including Apple, the website and the government. This capability is already possible in apps, but Apple is expanding it to the web through support for the W3C Digital Credentials API and the FIDO CTAP protocol, MacRumors explains. From iOS 26, the web-based ID verification feature will work in Safari across all your Apple devices, as well as in other browser apps and via operating systems that offer support. The Digital ID feature in iOS 26 allows you to store state issued IDs and licenses as well as passports to verify yourself online. Other features include the ability to scan a QR code on your iPhone and authenticate via Face ID to share your Digital Wallet information with a website. Meanwhile, Apple will add support for third party apps that support licenses. The Verify with Wallet on the Web feature in iOS 26 ensures you can't use fake IDs by ensuring they are cryptographically signed. The iPhone maker has announced the initial apps that will support Verify with Wallet on the Web, including Uber Eats, Turo and U.S. Bank. At the same time, Arizona MVD, Georgia DDS and Maryland MVA will add support for their digital ID apps, MacRumors says. Apple's iOS 26 will be available this Fall, when Apple launches its new iPhone devices.

Logitech takes aim at the iPad's Magic Keyboard with its new Flip Folio case
Logitech has announced a brand new case/keyboard combo for the iPad Pro and iPad Air that could make you think twice about picking up that Magic Keyboard accessory. The Logitech Flip Folio is the brand's newest creation and comes in four different colors with compatibility for Apple's 11- and 13-inch tablets. The real draw of the Flip Folio is the full-size Bluetooth keyboard that attaches magnetically to the back of the case when you're not using it. The keyboard has a compact design, but still offers full-size keys and is geared specifically for the iPad, with iPad OS function keys along the top. It's like being able to stick a version of Logitech's Keys-to-Go 2 keyboard onto your iPad with you wherever you roam. Although it's not backlit, the keyboard boasts a two-year battery life and can pair with multiple devices, letting you switch quickly between your iPad and up to two other devices (like your phone — whether Android or iOS), via the three colored keys at the top. The Flip Folio case itself also has a small little lip at the crease of the fold, so when the cover is tucked backwards, you can position your iPad in portrait mode and still have space on the lip to rest your phone next to it. The case is made from a minimum of 37% certified post-consumer recycled plastic while Logitech says the aluminium in the design is produced using 'low-carbon processes'. 'We've designed Flip Folio to make the iPad experience both fun and functional, helping you stay focused on what matters,' said Joseph Mingori, GM of mobile and audio solutions at Logitech. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. 'Flip Folio enhances everyday experiences — from binge watching to checking your social media or emails — by delivering portability and connectivity.' The Flip Folio is compatible with the 11-inch M4 and 13-inch M4 iPad Pro as well as the 11-inch M2 and M3 and 13-inch M2, M3 and 5th Gen iPad Air. Not all colors are available immediately and some are only in select regions. The Graphite is the only shade available globally and launches today, while the 'Pale Grey' and 'Lilac' options are coming in September in selected regions. Two more colors, "Black" and "Sand", are exclusive to North America. The former is launching in June with the latter also arriving in September. The Flip Folio is priced at £179.99 for the 13-inch iPad Pro and iPad Air models and £159.99 for the 11-inch iPad Pro and iPad Air models. We are waiting for confirmation on a U.S. price and will update this article as soon as we receive it.

Logitech's New Flip Folio Case And Keyboard For iPad Makes Work Much More Fun
The new Logitech Flip Folio is made for iPads and iPad Pros. The combination of case and keyboards ... More is a flexible way of working with a tablet.

The Flip Folio's compact case keeps the iPad safe and includes a separate Bluetooth keyboard that can attach magnetically to the protective case. The Flip Folio from Logitech has a separate keyboard instead of a flat version that's permanently ... More attached to the case. There is a multi-angle kickstand on the case to make viewing easier. The design of the Flip Folio is different from many case and keyboard combos for iPads because the separate and full-sized keyboard can be positioned wherever the user needs it instead of insisting it is part of the case.

'Flip Folio enhances everyday experiences–from binge-watching to checking social media or emails—by delivering portability and connectivity, setting people free so they can do what they love from anywhere.' When not in use, the Flip Folio's keyboard magnetically snaps to the back of the protective case for convenient storage. The case provides plenty of protection for the front and back of an iPad, making it suitable for use on the move. With the case in place, the iPad and keyboard can be tucked under an arm or stowed away in a work bag. Logitech's Flip Folio has a separate keyboard that's more comfortable to use than a flat and fixed ... More keyboard case. The Flip Folio is powered by a small CR2016 lithium button cell which can last for up to two years before it needs replacing. This power source enables the keyboard to be slim and compact. And because there's no rechargeable battery, there's no need for a USB port. Instead, the keyboard can be paired with up to three different devices letting users switch seamlessly between three Bluetooth devices such as an iPad, iPhone or MacBook. The Logitech Flip Folio is designed with sustainability in mind and includes a minimum of 37% certified post-consumer recycled plastic for the Graphite and Midnight Black models, providing a useful second life to end-of-use plastics. The Flip Folio will initially be available globally in Graphite. A Midnight Black version will be on sale in North America at launch. Pale Grey and Lilac colorways will launch in September 2025 across select markets, while a Sand option will go on sale from September 2025 in selected regions.
