Whether you're shopping for true wireless earbuds or noise-cancelling headphones, I found the best deals on Apple products you can shop right now.
Apple AirPods Pro 2 With USB-C
I've tried every other pair of popular earbuds out there, and nothing comes close to the AirPods Pro 2. The active noise cancellation is unmatched, and the sound quality offered by Apple's Spatial Audio tech is just as immersive as it is rich. This $80 discount makes that whole listening experience even better. Read our review
Apple AirPods 4
At the opposite end of the spectrum, Apple's new AirPods 4 offer many of the same features as the Pro versions of the earbuds for far less. My colleague and our senior tech editor Mike Andronico adored these from his hands-on experience. Right now, they're also matching the all-time low price at $100. Read our review
Apple AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation
Between the baseline AirPods 4 and the AirPods Pro 2, this pair of upgraded earbuds comes with added active noise cancellation tech. I recommend taking advantage of this deal if you don't particularly care about the silicone ear tips offered by the Pro series. Read our review
Apple AirPods Max With USB-C
AirPods Max have been a favorite of mine for half a decade. The new and improved version brings USB-C into the mix for the first time. These may have recently lost their accolade for the best over-the-ear Apple headphones, but I still believe they deserve the title. The price may be steep, but you won't find a better-sounding pair. Today's discount takes as much as $69 off to help. Read our review If you've been searching for the best way to save on a new pair of AirPods, today's deals have you covered regardless of how much you're hoping to spend or which features matter most. Everything from Apple's most affordable true wireless earbuds to its flagship over-ear headphones is included in the savings.
Today's sale combines a great variety of AirPods along with some of the best discounts ever. All three of the true wireless AirPods are down to the best offers of the year, while the over-ear AirPods Max are within $1 of its best-ever discount.

Apple Leaves Behind Another MacBook Air
Newly redesigned MacBook Air laptops are seen displayed during the WWDC at Apple Park on June 06, ... More 2022 kicked off the annual WWDC22 developer conference. (Photo by) With the next version of macOS expected to debut during WWDC 20205 in June, Apple will leave behind several older deskbound Macs and the MacBook Air. That will leave a handful of Intel-powered Macs still able to run the latest version of macOS. This is expected to be the MacBook Pro models from 2019 onwards, iMacs from 2020 onwards and Mac Pros from 2019 onwards. Naturally, all of the Apple Silicon-powered Mac hardware remain current. It's worth noting that while the professionally focused Intel Macs remain inside the support window, Apple has removed the consumer-focused MacBook Air. Given the comparatively low processing power of their Intel Core chipsets and the heavy demands being placed on modern computing thanks to generative AI and other processor-intensive artificial intelligence techniques, the MacBook Airs have finally passed the point where they simply can't accommodate Apple's vision of a modern operating system. Even the 2020 MacBook Pro laptops will be struggling and owners should expect this to be the last update they will see. This speaks to Apple's decision to introduce Apple Silicon across the full range of Mac hardware. Back in 2020, the increased power and performance of the M1 saw the entry-level MacBook Air leap ahead of the Intel-powered competition. That advantage has been clawed back now, but it allows Apple to fully support those older machines with the upcoming version of macOS. It has taken time, but Tim Cook and his team are close to ending their dependency on Intel and the excess resources required to support two platforms in macOS. One more year, and the focus can be 100 percent on its own proprietary platform and leverage all the advantages that this offers. Now read the latest MacBook Air, MacOS and iPhone headlines in Forbes' weekly Apple news digest...

The ‘revenge tax' buried deep in the budget bill could turn a trade war into a ‘capital war,' analyst says
Section 899 of the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' moving through Congress has raised growing alarms on Wall Street, after the once-obscure provision was initially overshadowed by the budget proposal's estimated impact on the deficit. Deutsche Bank warned that what's been dubbed the 'revenge tax' could further harm the attractiveness of U.S. assets. As Wall Street continued digesting the myriad line items in the 1,000-page budget bill that passed recently, one part has triggered an especially acute case of heartburn. Section 899 of the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' moving through Congress has raised growing alarms, after the once-obscure provision was initially overshadowed by the budget's estimated impact on the deficit. It has been dubbed the 'revenge tax' because it would increase rates for individuals and companies from countries with tax policies branded as 'discriminatory.' That means foreign investors, who own trillions of dollars in U.S. assets, could face higher levies on passive income like dividends and interest payments. Investors have already shifted toward Europe and China as President Donald Trump's aggressive tariff agenda has eroded the idea 'American exceptionalism.' Meanwhile, foreign investors are showing signs of a buyer's strike, shunning U.S. assets. For George Saravelos, head of FX research at Deutsche Bank, the idea of a revenge tax could make them even less attractive. It's also notable in the wake of a U.S. trade court's ruling Tuesday that invalidated Trump's reciprocal tariffs, as Section 899 could represent an alternative tool. 'We see this legislation as creating the scope for the US administration to transform a trade war into a capital war if it so wishes, a development that is highly relevant in the context of today's court decision constraining President Trump on trade policy,' Saravelos wrote in a note. He pointed out that Section 899 uses taxation on foreign investors as leverage to advance U.S. economic priorities and only has to meet a low bar before it can be enforced. It would also make covering deficits more difficult by lowering the de facto yield foreign government earn from U.S. Treasury bonds by nearly 100 basis points, Saravelos estimated. While the ultimate impact could be less than that, the mere introduction of more uncertainty and complexity around investing in U.S. assets 'undermines the attractiveness of dollar inflows at a time when this is already put in to question,' he warned. 'It is not unreasonable for the market to conclude that if the President is constrained on using trade policy, taxing foreign capital could be a new means of leverage,' he added. Even House Ways and Means Committee Chair Jason Smith, who supports the revenge tax, said during a panel discussion on Friday that he hopes it's never used and instead acts like more of a deterrent that stops other countries from cracking down on U.S. companies unfairly. Meanwhile, the Joint Committee on Taxation, the nonpartisan tax scorekeeper for Congress, echoed some of Wall Street's fears. Thomas Barthold, the committee's chief of staff, said in a statement to Bloomberg Tax that Section 899 would lead to a 'decline in foreign demand for US direct and portfolio investment.'
