A Beats headphone sale includes all-time lows on the Solo 4 and Powerbeats Pro 2

A wide-ranging sale on Beats headphones has brought some of the brand's products down to record-low prices. Take, for instance, the Beats Solo 4. That model is currently half off at $100 at Amazon. Although we've seen those headphones hit this price before, it's matching an all-time low. The same offer is also available at Walmart , Target and Best Buy .
We gave the Beats Solo 4 a score of 79 in our review just over a year ago. The lack of multipoint connectivity was a disappointment and there's no automatic pausing when you remove them from your ears. Some folks may find the fit quite tight as well. However, we feel that the Beats Solo 4 offer improved sound quality over previous models, while the 50-plus hours of battery life is very welcome. If you're looking for a portable set of on-ear headphones, the Solo 4 might be worth considering.
In addition, the Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 are available for a discount, just a few months after they debuted. You can save 50 bucks if you buy a pair of the earbuds now, as they're down to $200.

The Powerbeats Pro 2 are Apple's first earbuds that include a heart-rate tracking feature. We gave the fitness-focused model a score of 79 in our review back in February.
The improved design helps make the earbuds more comfortable to wear compared with the previous iteration and we felt that they delivered powerful audio performance on the low end. The Powerbeats Pro 2 also have a lot of the same smarts as AirPods, largely thanks to the inclusion of an H2 chip. That said, the hook design won't be to everyone's taste, and we felt the active noise cancellation performance was so-so.
Elsewhere in the sale, there are some solid discounts that aren't quite all-time lows but still worth checking out. You can snap up a pair of over-ear Beats Studio Pro headphones for $170, down from $350. We gave those a score of 81 in our review . As for the in-ear Beats Studio Buds + , those are $70 off at $100. We think these are the best Beats option for most people, and gave them a score of 84 in our review .

Apple's smart home device plans are running late, but I'm ready to wait
At its annual developers conference this year, Apple announced a set of sweeping changes across its software platforms, introducing a whole new design language, a massive iPadOS makeover, and some key updates to macOS elements like Spotlight. What was conspicuously missing from WWDC 2025 was homeOS. Apple was expected to make a grand reveal of its smart home-focused operating system, ahead of launching a couple of products. The first one reportedly looks like a smart display with its own speaker assembly, while the other model could even get a robotic arm. It now seems the plans for homeOS, and the smart home devices have been pushed into 2026. Recommended Videos But if you watched the event closely, there was a sneak peek of the future. Yes, AI would be very much part of it. And yes, it would make interacting with a smart home device a lot more meaningful and functional. Hint: Think apps, developers, AI, and voice commands. Read on: What's the current status? Apple was apparently planning to introduce homeOS in March this year, but the delays with AI-related features killed those plans. 'That operating system and device, however, rely heavily on the delayed Siri features. And that means they probably won't be able to ship until the Siri upgrades are ready,' according to Bloomberg. The outlet had previously reported that the first of the two planned device packs a screen measuring roughly six inches. It can be mounted like a wall tablet, and there's also a range of base attachments for it, such as a speaker accessory. The idea isn't novel, as the likes of Amazon and Google have already experimented with such products. What was supposed to set the device apart was the deep integration with Apple's ecosystem. Aside from serving as a central hub for controlling smart home devices, it would also enable video conferencing, and be capable of running apps such as Safari and Apple Music. More importantly, the device is expected to rely heavily on AI chops, and that's where Apple is currently falling behind. 'The technology was part of a planned smart home hub that has now been pushed back as well, keeping Apple from moving into a new product category,' reports the outlet. Apple is now eyeing a Spring 2026 release for the next-gen Siri features and on-device AI capabilities. What exactly is in the package for homeOS remains to be seen, but if the new Alexa+ from Amazon is anything to go by, we are in for a big leap. Why is it the right move? 'This is a big lift,' Apple's senior vice president of software engineering, Craig Federighi, told The Wall Street Journal when asked about Apple's next-gen Siri plans last year. The tone hasn't shifted a year later. 'There's no need to rush out with the wrong features and the wrong product just to be first,' he told the outlet earlier this month. Apple won't be the first to flag the risks, and it certainly doesn't want to be on the receiving end of AI gaffes after the Apple Intelligence-BBC news misinterpretation fiasco. Google's AI, despite firmly landing in the futuristic Project Astra age, still gets something as basic as the date wrong. Again and again. Amazon claims Alexa has hundreds of millions of users, but the AI-powered Alexa+ has only managed to reach a pool of less than one percent of its audience. According to a Reuters report that cites internal sources, Alexa+ is suffering from slow responses and that it 'occasionally generates inaccurate or fabricated information.' The New York Times, after testing Alexa+, reports that a handful of its most promising features are either unavailable or 'most of them are very much a work in progress.' But those are not insurmountable challenges. AI is the real issue. AI, and its natural conversational capabilities, are still a risky affair. As per a devastating account in The New York Times, interacting with ChatGPT pushed two users on an emotional spiral, and one of them ended up dead. It's worth noting here that ChatGPT has been integrated within the Apple Intelligence stack to help Siri handle advanced queries. With the release of iOS 26 and the companion updates across other Apple platforms, it can now do even more. Imagine an Apple-made smart home device running ChatGPT (with all its flaws) in your home, especially with kids and elders around. It's safe and accurate for the most part, but there are scenarios where deep interactions have quickly turned harmful. Apple certainly wouldn't risk putting such a stack on a device that is always at home. Aside from those inherent risks, half-baked features and integrations would simply make the product less appealing and attract criticism. Apple has tasted it and had to pull one of its ambitious Siri-AI ads because the tech is just not there yet, a year after showcasing it. But now that the company has set a 2026 release date, it's plausible that the work on Siri and its AI tricks has progressed meaningfully. A sneak peek of the future Now, you might ask what the whole fuss around the next-gen Siri is all about. Well, Apple is tweaking the fundamental architecture of Siri and molding it to act more like a chatbot, like Gemini, ChatGPT, or Claude. Think of it as the same magnitude of change as Google Assistant going away in favor of Gemini. Aside from handling user interactions and smart home controls, it is now integrated everywhere in apps such as Gmail, Docs, Maps, and even external apps like Spotify. Siri doesn't offer that. Yet. It could change soon, and we already got a glimpse of it at WWDC. That secret sauce is on-device Apple Intelligence foundation model. In a nutshell, developers will be able to build on-device AI experiences within their apps. The best part? Free AI inference. Moreover, the on-device AI capabilities can be integrated within apps using merely a few lines of code. In a nutshell, apps will gain more conversational and visual capabilities powered by AI. And since all it happens on-device, user data privacy is not compromised. Simply put, the apps powered by Apple's AI models are going to be smarter and more intuitive. So, how does it benefit Apple's smart home display? As per Bloomberg, the device will integrate tightly with the iPhone and will even enable Handoff for seamlessly transferring a task from its screen to the smartphone in your hand. Overall, it seems Apple wants to keep its AI stack, apps, and the integrations ready so that when the device launches, it doesn't run into the current limitations. It will allow natural language conversations and let users perform tasks across different apps with voice commands that don't sound like a maths formula. A few more months in development sounds like the right approach at this point.

Weird Mac mini issue prompts Apple to take action
Following multiple reports of specific Mac mini computers failing to power on, Apple has launched a global repair program to sort the problem out. Apple launched the M2 Mac mini in January 2023, though the affected units were made between June 16 and November 23 of 2024, according to a notice about the repair program that was first spotted by MacRumors. Recommended Videos 'Apple has determined that a very small percentage of Mac mini (2023) devices with the M2 chip may no longer power on,' the tech giant said in the notice, which was published on its website. However, it declined to offer any details regarding the cause of the mysterious power issue. Digital Trends has reached out to the company to ask for more details and we'll update this article if we hear back. If your M2 Mac mini is one of the affected units, Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider will fix it, free of charge. The company added that the program covers eligible Mac mini units for three years after the first retail sale of the unit. Finally, if you've moved country and taken your Mac mini with you, Apple said it may restrict or limit repair to the original country or region of purchase — get in touch with the company to learn more. Have an M2 Mac mini? If so, here are the steps you should take: – First, get your Mac mini's serial number so you can find out if you have an affected unit. You can do this by looking on the underside of the computer, or by checking the packaging that it came in. If your M2 Mac mini is still powering on, you can find the serial number by selecting the Apple icon at the top left of the screen, then selecting About This Mac, which brings up the serial number. – Enter the serial number into the online checker (available on the service program page) to confirm if your Mac mini is eligible for the repair program. – If it needs to be repaired, you'll be asked to choose how you want your Mac mini serviced, including via an Apple Authorized Retailer or an Apple retail store. Apple skipped an M3 Mac mini launch and instead brought out the M4 Mac mini in November 2024. The updated model features a smaller footprint and more power, with Digital Trends giving the Pro version a big thumbs-up in its hands-on review.
