What's the deal? Take $50 off Apple Watch Series 10
Amazon hosted a few low prices on the Apple Watch Series 10 this week, with record low prices on both the 42mm and 46mm GPS models still available. This includes the 42mm GPS model for the all-time low price of $349.00 in multiple colors and styles, down from $399.00.

The iOS 19 mockup images that leaker Jon Prosser shared today are not representative of the actual iOS 19 design, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said on social media.
According to Gurman, the images that are "floating around" are based on "very old builds" or "vague descriptions," and are lacking key features. Gurman says that we can "expect more from Apple in June."

For gaming, the M2 isn't that much worse than the M3. The M3 has ~30% stronger CPU performance, but its GPU performance is only ~5% better. And the M2 actually has a more powerful neural engine than the M3. (M2 has 22 TOPS, M3 has 18 TOPS, and M4 has 38 TOPS.) But the M3 also has hardware-accelerated Ray Tracing and hardware-accelerated AV1 video decoding. (Though, M2 can still play AV1 with software decoding, and Ray Tracing probably not so important on a the low-end MacBooks since Ray Tracing is pretty demanding.)
