It’s official Apple Certified Refurbished Store time again, and we are back again with a closer look at the gear we have our eyes on. This is not a bunch of Macs covered in scratches that fell off a truck somewhere and shilled on eBay at a discount, we are talking about Apple’s “rigorous refurbishment process” and the same 1-year Apple warranty you get on brand new units, just at a lower price. You’re not going to get a better price on AirPods Pro 3 or the all-time low on AirTag 2, but there is hundreds in savings on Macs and the lowest prices around on current-generation models. Check out this week’s best down below.

My biggest issue when I go back and forth between a MagSafe wallet and a traditional wallet is that a lot of MagSafe wallets are really just card slots. I still carry cash and like my driver’s license to be in a clear window. The TUCCH PU Leather Mag Wallet does something different that most MagSafe wallets. It actually folds shut like a traditional fold wallet with a clear ID/driver’s license window.

Head below for a closer look.
CarPlay can make any vehicle feel significantly more comfortable and family. Still, the experience is not always perfect out of the box. Some cars still require a wired connection, others lack CarPlay entirely, and what about keeping your iPhone charged and cooled on long trips? Fortunately, improving those areas doesn’t require a big investment. These affordable accessories cover everything from wireless CarPlay and MagSafe charging to cable management and complete displays for older vehicles.

While those deals are indeed still live, Amazon has just delivered the lowest price ever on Apple’s 2026 AirTag 2 – you can now land them as low as $20 a pop.

In recent years, Macs had been getting more and more affordable. Cheaper starting points, more memory and storage per dollar, and the introduction of MacBook Neo. For the first time, Apple had started to become one of the best values on the market. Unfortunately, Apple just drastically increased its prices because of the ongoing memory shortage. Macs aren’t as appealing as they were a few weeks ago, that said, there’s still some decent deals out there – and if you’re in need of a new computer, I’d still say todays Macs are a good value against the rest of the computing market.
Recently, Mophie debuted four new power banks for the iPhone. They slide nicely into your pocket, come in two finishes, offer built-in cables, and pack 5000mAh or 10000mAh of capacity. They’re by no means the smallest battery banks on the market, though they hit a price point that makes them worthwhile.

At the very least, Apple should debut a refreshed HomePod mini and Apple TV 4K this fall, though the changes would suggest a third, more significant product is also on its way.
Earlier this month, Google unveiled its new Pixel 11 lineup. The phones themselves were rather similar compared to the previous Pixel 10 lineup, though they offer a few delightful quality of life improvements. One of those is a new set of camera processing options – allowing you to have far more control over what your photo will look like. On the cusp of the iPhone 18 Pro release, I’m hoping Apple offers something similar to this.
