Requirements To use Tap to Cash, you and the other person must have an iPhone thats been updated to iOS 18 or an Apple Watch running watchOS 11. Naturally, you should have a verified Apple Cash account already set up. Using cellular data is fine if youre not connected to Wi-Fi. Its important to remember that you can only send or receive a maximum of $2,000 per seven-day period. The minimum amount you can send is $1, and the maximum is $2,000. These limits are unique to Tap to Cash, and if you need to pay more, you must swap to Messages. Apple Cash is currently only available in the US.

Theres little better than finding a killer deal on a great product, and heres an October Prime Day deal that checks pretty much all the right boxes. Sony's WH-1000XM4 headphones are on sale for $130, which is a new record low. They often sell for $348 and the previous record low price was $198. These arent quite the very best Sony headphones on the market anymore. The XM5s are now at the top of the mountain (theyre our favorite noise canceling headphones overall). However, the XM4s are still a fantastic set of cans, especially at this bargain price. We gave the XM4s a score of 94 in our review. The powerful, customizable active noise cancellation was a major selling point, as was the immersive audio. The "pause when you speak" feature is quite nifty, while multipoint connectivity is always welcome. The price was one of our main drawbacks, but thankfully that's now far less of an issue. Sony says you'll get up to 30 hours of usage from a single charge (which matches up with our testing) and you'll get five hours of playback time after a 10-minute quick charge. We felt that the touch controls worked reliably well, while the five-microphone array should help make your voice clear on calls. In addition, the XM4s support Sony's 360 Reality Audio format for immersive sound. The songs typically sound better than standard tracks and the library of supported music has grown over the years, but not every streaming service supports the format. Amazon Music Unlimited is the best-known option. Tidal, on the other hand, dropped support for the format this summer in favor of Dolby Atmos.

With October Prime Day approaching fast, we're seeing new deals drop in the final hours of the lead up. One of the latest deals is on the M2-powered MacBook Air laptop, which you can snag right now for $749. That's $250 off and a new record low on the machine we consider to be the best budget MacBook in Apple's laptop lineup. In our initial M2 MacBook Air review, we were impressed by the laptop's thinner design, gorgeous 13.6-inch display, great quad-speaker setup and the M2 chip's excellent performance. It had been our top pick for the best MacBook, period, but the new M3 model has taken that top slot. However, the M2 Air doesn't skimp those on a budget (or anyone simply looking to save some cash) will still get a lot of laptop and a lot of power choosing this machine. One could argue, and our Daniel Cooper did, that the best thing about the M3 MacBook Air was the price drop given to the M2 Air after its launch. The M3 chip is pretty similar to the M2, and while there's no doubt that those who want the latest and greatest should get an M3 machine, an M2 laptop will be more than enough for most people using it as a daily driver. And, when you consider the M2 started at $1,200 when it first came out in 2022, it makes this discount even more compelling (it only received a price drop to $1,000 after the M3's debut). There are other discounts on the MacBook lineup at Amazon at the moment, too. The M3 MacBook Air is $200 off and down to $899, which is only $50 more than its record-low price. The 15-inch MacBook with an M3 chip is also $200 off and on sale for $1,099.
