Apple's most extreme Mac Studio, an M5 Ultra with 512GB of memory aimed at running huge AI models locally, is due to ship in late October. And that might be one reason why I'm seeing the - ahem - "cheaper" M5 Max model dropping $200 in price right now. • Best for: Creative professionals and AI developers who want Mac Studio power without paying M5 Ultra prices. • The deal: The Apple Mac Studio (M5 Max, 36GB, 512GB) is $2299 (was $2499) at B&H Photo . • Why it matters: We're expecting to see more of the 512GB M5 Ultra at Apple's upcoming event next week. And I reckon we could be looking at prices starting well above $10,000. That makes the M5 Max Mac Studio the machine most people can realistically buy, and it's now cheaper as the new flagship approaches.

Apple TV has been the home of Formula 1 in the United States since the start of the 2026 season. Much like the technology giant's approach to MLS (Major League Soccer) and Friday Night Baseball , it's been a modern, very Apple take on the sport. With extended commentary, original content, and more in addition to race coverage, Apple has aimed to innovate and differentiate the experience from what it formerly was. For starters, if you subscribe to Apple TV in the States, you get it for free. On top of that, there's a clean, modern set of visuals around the action, with several view options, including the ability to customize your own multi-view setup, and, most notably, Dolby Vision support. Apple wants to up the immersion, though, and is deepening its partnership with Dolby to bring Dolby Atmos to its live broadcast of Formula 1 races, starting with the United States Grand Prix in ...

It’s finally official: after what feels like years of leaks, Apple has entered the foldable race with the iPhone Duo. It brings a host of new features, but also has the same passport-style form factor as the recently launched Galaxy Z Fold 8 , Xiaomi 18 Fold , and Huawei Pura X Max . Apple’s first foldable features many of the same compromises you might expect from a first-generation foldable, even from a company as meticulous as Apple, but the biggest concern for most users may be around the Duo's battery life. I’ve spent the past three months using the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its competitors. What battery life do they offer, and what can we learn from it? I tested six of the best globally available flagship foldables over several weeks to answer that question. How I tested the folding phones' battery life (Image credit: Future | Alex Walker-Todd) Over the past few months, I’ve been developi...

Anybody looking to get their steps in and continue their fitness goals over fall and winter — but doesn't like the idea of walking in the cold and dark, be it for comfort or safety reasons — should give under-desk treadmills or walking pads a look. Slimmer and cheaper than normal treadmills, they can slide under a sofa or bed when not in use, so they're easy to store. They're not fast because they lack guardrails, but they're perfect for getting you moving while watching TV or working (alongside a standing desk). Having this kind of low-impact cardio fitness equipment at home makes it easy to hit step goals and keep moving, even during winter, helping you to stay healthy. My pick of the deals so far is the Urevo Spacewalk E1L, now available at Best Buy for just $129.99 (was $189.99 ), saving you $60 . Check out the deal in full below: The Urevo Spacewalk E1L is portable, features ...
