Amazon is offering the 11-inch iPad Air M4 for $649, down from $749, marking its lowest price since Apple raised iPad and MacBook prices amid higher RAM and component costs.

With the NFL season approaching, TechRadar’s Mackenzie Frazier highlights 11 discounted TVs available through Best Buy’s anniversary sale. The selection ranges from budget 4K and QLED models to premium OLED and Mini-LED displays from Insignia, Hisense, LG, Samsung, TCL and Sony, with discounts of up to $1,600.

A viral TikTok and Instagram promotion claiming to sell Apple's MacBook Neo for $119.99 is fraudulent and falsely presents itself as a Target back-to-school deal. The linked third-party site promises Target gift cards in exchange for completing multiple partner offers, trials, and sign-ups. Legitimate alternatives include a small Amazon discount, Best Buy trade-in savings plus a $25 Starbucks gift card, and Apple's $100 education discount, which reduces the price to $599 for eligible students, parents, and educators.
