From top to bottom the AirPods Max have a nice, premium feel. Everything ,from the stainless steel headband to the soft memory foam ear cushions, seem made to give you an elevated musical experience. They serve up rich, balanced audio that can adapt in real time to what you're hearing. Apple's dynamic drivers and custom-designed audio hardware help make everything feel full-bodied and immersive. And when you pair that with Active Noise Cancellation, your music gets even better since you can block out everything going on around you.
The headphones' noise cancellation can block out tons of background chatter and other environmental sounds without distorting your music. When you need to hear what's going on around you, Transparency mode brings outside sound in naturally, so you don't have to remove the headphones to stay aware.
Comfort matters too, especially at this price point, and the AirPods Max deliver. They're built to feel light despite their solid frame, and the breathable knit mesh on the headband helps reduce pressure over longer listening sessions. That means they're more comfortable to wear if you feel like listening to music for lengthy periods. And sometimes we all do depending on the songs, right?
Plus, on top of all that, you get spatial audio with head tracking for supported content, easy integration with other Apple devices, and reliable battery life that gives you up to 20 hours of listening even with noise cancellation turned on.
At $430, this is one of the best prices you'll find on the AirPods Max. If you've been waiting for a reason to try them or thinking about upgrading your current setup, this is a smart time to buy. Just make sure you get it before the sale is over.

The best iPad deals you can get right now
Apple's latest iPad Pro is available in the 11-inch configuration starting at $899, while the 13-inch model can be had for $1,185. | Photo: Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge While the best iPad deals usually land during major sale events like Black Friday and Prime Day, many great iPad deals are available outside of those times. The day-to-day discounts come and go like changing winds, so there's often some amount to be saved, particularly on Apple's most affordable iPad. The most recent iPad Pro and iPad Mini are also regularly discounted, as is the latest iPad Air. The best iPad (2025) dealsThe best iPad Mini (2024) dealsThe best iPad Air (2025) dealsThe best iPad Pro (2024) deals It's difficult to know where exactly you can find the most notable iPad deals unless you're scouring the major retailers on a daily basis. But that's often what our deal hunters at The Verge are doing, so let us help you out. Below, we've listed the best deals you can get on each iPad model that is available, from the 11th-gen entry-level iPad to the more powerful models with M3 and M4 chips, all of which are set to receive Apple's iPadOS 26 update when it arrives in the fall. The best iPad (2025) deals Apple iPad (11th-gen) Where to Buy: $349 $299 at Amazon (128GB, Wi-Fi) $349 $299 at Walmart (128GB, Wi-Fi) $449 $399 at Amazon (256GB, Wi-Fi) Apple's 11th-gen iPad landed on the scene in March 2025. The newest base model tablet is a fairly iterative update of the prior model, but with 128GB of base storage (as opposed to 64GB) and the A16 Bionic chip, which is nearly 30 percent faster than the A14 chip used in the 10th-gen iPad. That being said, the newer chip doesn't support the various Apple Intelligence features introduced in iPadOS 18.1 and subsequent updates. For that, you'll want to opt for a more recent iPad Air, iPad Mini, or iPad Pro model. Pricing-wise, the new iPad starts at $349 with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage. You can also upgrade to 256GB or 512GB of storage for an additional $100 or $200, respectively, or purchase an LTE model starting at $499. We haven't seen significant price drops yet, although the entry-level model is currently on sale at Amazon, Walmart, and Target starting at $299 ($50 off). Alternatively, you can purchase the 256GB model at Amazon, Walmart, and Target starting at $399 ($50 off), or the 512GB variant at Amazon and Walmart starting at $595 ($54 off). The best iPad Mini (2024) deals Apple iPad Mini (2024) Where to Buy: $499 $474 at Amazon (128GB, Wi-Fi) $599 $589 at Amazon (256GB, Wi-Fi) $799 $699 at Amazon (512GB, Wi-Fi) The seventh-gen iPad Mini is similar in several ways to the previous model, but comes with some big internal upgrades. It includes faster Wi-Fi and USB-C speeds, support for the Apple Pencil Pro, and a newer A17 Pro processor with 8GB of RAM to support Apple Intelligence. Otherwise, it boasts nearly identical specs and features as the last-gen model, meaning it has an 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display, and options for 5G. It may not be worth upgrading if you already own a sixth-gen Mini, but newcomers to the category will appreciate the upgrades. The 2024 iPad Mini starts at $499 with 128GB of storage, which was the price for the previous generation's 64GB model. Electing for 256GB of storage brings the price up to $599, and the cellular models start at $649. These are some big numbers for a small iPad, so the larger iPad Air might be worth considering if you prefer your dollar to go further with more screen real estate. But if you want an Apple tablet in the smallest possible form factor, this is where the action is. Right now, the 128GB base model with Wi-Fi is on sale at Amazon starting at $474 ($25 off). We saw the price drop to $379 for this model over Prime Day, highlighting just how much you can save during big events. You can also pick up the 256GB variant at Amazon for $589 ($10 off), or the 512GB model at Amazon for $699 ($100 off). The best iPad Air (2025) deals 11-inch iPad Air M3 Where to Buy: $599 $549 at Amazon (128GB, Wi-Fi) $699 $638.41 at Amazon (256GB, Wi-Fi) $899 $818.25 at Amazon (512GB, Wi-Fi)13-inch iPad Air M3 Where to Buy: $799 $730 at Amazon (128GB, Wi-Fi) $899 $820 at Amazon (256GB, Wi-Fi) $1099 $999 at Amazon (512GB, Wi-Fi) The 2025 iPad Air is little more than a spec bump over the previous model, with a few technical upgrades that should allow it to last longer into the future than either the entry-level iPad or the last-gen Air. It features an M3 chip with support for Apple Intelligence, plus compatibility with Apple's latest Magic Keyboard that has a larger trackpad and an extra row of function keys. In short, the Air is a credible laptop replacement. The 11-inch model starts at $599 and the 13-inch variant $799 — the same price as prior models — but it's common to see discounts from third-party retailers. Right now, for instance, the 11-inch Air is on sale at Amazon, Walmart, and B&H Photo in its base configuration with Wi-Fi and 128GB of storage starting at $549 ($50 off). You can also grab the 256GB model at Amazon, Walmart, and B&H Photo starting at $639 ($60 off), or the step-up 512GB model at Amazon starting at $818 ($81 off). The larger 13-inch model, meanwhile, is on sale at Amazon and Walmart with 128GB of storage starting at $730 ($70 off). You can also pick up the Wi-Fi / 256GB model at Amazon and Walmart starting at $820 ($79 off), or the 512GB variant at Amazon for $999 ($100 off). The best iPad Pro (2024) deals 11-inch Apple iPad Pro (2024) Where to Buy: $999 $899 at Amazon (256GB, Wi-Fi) $1199 $1103 at Amazon (512GB, Wi-Fi) $1599 $1457 at Amazon (1TB, Wi-Fi)13-inch iPad Pro M4 Where to Buy: $1299 $1185 at Amazon (256GB, Wi-Fi) $1499 $1367 at Amazon (512GB, Wi-Fi) $2299 $2099 at Amazon (2TB, Wi-Fi) The 2024 iPad Pro is a far more impressive upgrade than the latest iPad Air. The 11- and 13-inch models start at $999 and $1,299, respectively, and they were the first Apple devices to feature the company's latest M4 chip, which brings moderate performance gains and dedicated hardware for on-device Apple Intelligence processing. The new Pro models can claim other firsts, too, such as being the first iPad models with OLED displays and the lightest Pros yet, which is true of both sizes. They also feature repositioned front-facing cameras that sit along the horizontal edge (also found in the 11th-gen iPad), which prevent you from looking as though you're staring off into space on a video call. As for deals, the 11-inch iPad Pro with Wi-Fi / 256GB of storage is currently on sale at Amazon and B&H Photo starting at $899.99 ($100 off). The sleek and super-thin 13-inch model, meanwhile, is on sale in its 256GB base configuration at Amazon starting at $1,185 ($114 off), or in its 512GB configuration at Amazon starting at $1,366 ($133 off). Amazon, Walmart, and B&H Photo also have the 2TB model for $2,099 ($200 off) if you're looking for the most storage possible to hold your apps, photos, and videos. Update, July 16th: Updated to reflect current pricing / availability, and mentioned that the 10th-gen iPad is no longer readily available to purchase. Brandon Russell also contributed to this post.

Trump's World Liberty crypto tokens to become tradeable
Holders of the digital tokens issued by World Liberty Financial, one of the crypto ventures of the family of Donald Trump, voted on Wednesday to make them tradeable, paving the way for their wide sale and purchase -- potentially boosting the value of the president's holdings of them. The World Liberty tokens, known as $WLFI, were sold to investors after the Trump family and their partners launched the venture — a "decentralised finance" platform that has also issued a stablecoin - last autumn. The tokens were not made tradeable at their initial sale. Instead, they gave holders a right to vote on some changes to the business, such as its underlying code. Early investors have said the primary draw of $WLFI was the connection to Trump and, in turn, their expectations the tokens would grow in value due to his backing. Making the tokens tradeable would see investors determine their price, enabling speculation, earning trading fees for exchanges that list them and likely stoking interest from a wider swath of crypto investors. The extent to which the Trump family, which reaps three-quarters of revenues from the initial sales of the tokens, will benefit from their wider trading is not clear. Gains in the tokens' price would, however, swell the value of the family's token holdings, the exact level of which is unclear. World Liberty and Trump's other crypto businesses have faced criticism from Democratic lawmakers and ethics experts as the president's administration reshapes regulations in the booming crypto sector. Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren and Democratic Representative Maxine Waters sent a letter to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission earlier this year in which they said, "The Trump family's financial stake in World Liberty Financial represents an unprecedented conflict of interest with the potential to influence the Trump Administration's oversight—or lack thereof—of the cryptocurrency industry." The World Liberty tokens have not been designated as securities by the SEC, meaning they are not subject to the same scrutiny as investments like stocks. The White House has said Trump's assets are in a trust managed by his children and that there are no conflicts of interest. The White House has not released the details of the trust arrangement. The Trump family business has been placed into a trust whose sole beneficiary is the president, meaning that the hundreds of millions of dollars from crypto deals struck while Trump is in office could hypothetically be withdrawn at any time, or at the latest, be at his disposal when he leaves office in less than four years. Trump's company, DT Marks DEFI LLC, was set to receive 22.5 billion out of a total 100 billion $WLFI tokens, according to a description of the project released in October. The president held 15.75 billion of the tokens at the end of last year, according to a public financial disclosure report published last month. The Trump family has made around $500 million from World Liberty since the platform was launched, according to Reuters calculations based on the company's terms and conditions, transactions traced by crypto analysis firms and publicly-disclosed deals. Asked by Reuters how the vote would impact the value of $WLFI tokens held by Trump and his family, the White House press office said: "This is not an inquiry for the White House." The Trump Organization did not respond to a request for comment. In response to Reuters' questions about how the tokens will become tradable, a World Liberty spokesperson said: "Additional details are forthcoming." The venture says on its website that making $WLFI tradeable "brings us one step closer to building a more open, transparent, and powerful financial system." "The American public should be very concerned about the president's vested interests in the cryptocurrency market," said Chris Swartz, a former longtime attorney at the U.S. government's Office of Government Ethics, including under both Trump administrations, who now serves as senior ethics counsel for Democracy Defenders Action, a legal advocacy group. "Not only is it a potential conduit for foreign emoluments and other illicit payments, but it puts the president in competition against other cryptocurrency issuers at the same time he is advocating for digital asset marketplace legislation. That is a clear conflict of interest." The World Liberty proposal to "formally initiate the tradability of the token," posted on its website on 9 July, was approved by 99.94% of around 20 900 votes. Some voters cited expectations of price gains or support for Trump as reasons for their choice. "We invested to get rich," one wrote on the World Liberty website. "To make america great again," wrote another. The identities of nearly all holders are hidden behind wallet addresses. A Milan-based person using the name Paolo, who declined to give his full name, told Reuters he had bought 95 000 $WLFI tokens for about $5 000. $WLFI tokens were sold in two initial tranches at $0.015 and $0.05. Paolo said he voted in favour of making the tokens tradeable and planned to hold the tokens until they reach $12. "Then I try to buy more when the price drops," he said. The World Liberty proposal said the timing for making the tokens tradeable, and the eligibility requirements, would be determined at a later, unspecified date. Tokens held by World Liberty's founders, team and advisers would not be initially "unlocked" for trading and would be subject to a longer "unlock schedule," it said. The implementation of approved proposals would "occur within a reasonable time from the passage of the applicable proposal,' according to the project description from October.

US House clears procedural hurdle on cryptocurrency legislation
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives cleared a key procedural hurdle Wednesday, setting the stage for likely passage of several cryptocurrency bills a day after President Donald Trump intervened to save the initiative. The vote paves the way for House lawmakers to vote on passage of the several crypto bills, which would mark a huge victory for the digital assets sector. It came one day after conservative Republicans helped defeat a similar procedural measure amid a dispute over how to proceed with the bills.
