Common questions on Apple, surfaced from across the indexed web.

How are Apple’s price rises affecting MacBook deals?

The price increases mean deals are harder to come by than they used to be, but third-party retailers like Amazon and Best Buy are finding ways to undercut the new list prices, so not all hope is lost. Direct discounts on Apple products were already rare before the hike. Now, they’re even scarcer. Trade-ins are currently your best bet for meaningful savings. You could go the route of an older M4-gen model, but deals on those are drying up too. Apple is the latest in a line of tech companies to raise prices citing component costs, a trend that’s showing no signs of slowing down. CNET’s Scott Ste

When will Apple announce the new iPhone event?

If Apple holds its event on September 9 and maintains its four-year pattern, it would announce the date exactly two weeks earlier on Wednesday, August 26. That makes August 26 the strongest prediction for Apple’s iPhone 18 event invitation. Tuesday, August 25, remains another possibility, but it would create a 15-day gap rather than continuing Apple’s recent 14-day pattern.

When is the iPhone 18 Pro / iPhone Ultra event?

Apple hasn’t officially announced the next iPhone event date, but Wednesday, September 9, is currently the leading possibility. Apple offered its first official clue this week when it opened applications for US retail employees to work its Event Support Experience Program in California. The company told employees that the event will occur during the first half of September. Bloomberg suggests that Wednesday appears slightly more likely because Labor Day falls on Monday, September 7. A Wednesday event would preserve the workday travel window Apple has historically provided attendees.

Is the Pixel 11 Pro a worthy opponent to the iPhone 17 Pro Max?

About upgrading: 9to5Google often gives specific product recommendations. Sometimes, we may suggest not upgrading, due to various reasons including, but not limited to: increased device cost, negligible performance gains, or environmental impact. Whether to upgrade is always your call, but our aim is to help you make as informed a decision as possible. Google is once again getting ahead of Apple in the release cycle, with the Pixel 11 Pro having precious time on store shelves before the iPhone 18 launches. It’ll be around a month before the next iPhone is available, but there isn’t much to wri
