While Amazon sales don't always live up to the hype, the mega-retailer went hard for its four-day-long Prime Day 2025 event. That was especially true for Apple loyalists, as we found tons of Apple products at or near record-low prices. If you missed shopping the sale, there's no need to have FOMO. Like usual, Amazon still has some lingering deals available for the post-Prime Day weekend, and that includes the majority of its best Apple deals.

So, even though Prime Day ended Friday, you can still get the AirPods 4 starting at just $89. You can also score the latest AirPods Pro for $149, and the popular Apple Watch Series 10 is still marked down to $279. (Sadly, the AirPods Max and Apple Watch Ultra 2 are no longer on sale.)

A word of advice: If something catches your eye, this is your last, last chance to add it to your cart. Prices can and will change in the days ahead, and the best deals can sell out quickly.

Read on for our running guide to the best Prime Day Apple deals that are still live over the weekend, including competing offers at Walmart and Best Buy that one-up Amazon's offers. Deals marked with a 🔥 have fallen to a record-low price.

Check out our full review of the Apple Watch Series 10.

The Apple Watch Series 10 frequently gets discounted at Amazon, but it's never dipped to $279 before — this is a new record-low price, and it's still around post-Prime Day. It's an excellent deal on our favorite smartwatch fitness tracker, especially if you're already deep in the Apple ecosystem.

Though it's missing a blood oxygen sensor, it still works as a pedometer, heart rate monitor, sleep tracker, menstrual cycle tracker, and wrist temperature monitor, to name just a few of its functions. Its ultra-lightweight design doesn't sacrifice a larger display that makes reading all those metrics as easy as possible.

Check out our full review of the Apple AirPods Pro.

This was a can't-miss Prime Day AirPods deal and we're thrilled it's still around for the weekend crowd. Even with the many noise-cancelling earbuds options on the market, the AirPods Pro remain one of the best choices for folks in the Apple ecosystem. The quick pairing can't be beat, and they are a true plug-and-play option (especially because they don't come with a companion app). The noise cancelling is some of the best you'll find on earbuds, alongside its excellent audio. Mashable's Stan Schroeder gave these earbuds a 4.1/5 in his review, noting that he'd be likely to take them on a plane over over-ear headphones, and writing of their sound "[they] did an equally good job with complex jazz performances and very heavy guitar tunes."

Sure, you can still grab the affordable iPad Mini on sale, but do you really want to argue with a $279 iPad? We didn't think so. While the newest Apple tablets are trying really hard to be laptops, we prefer our tablets to be, well, tablets. The base-model iPad has a sizable 11-inch screen, and it's the ideal choice if you use your tablet for streaming, gaming, and browsing the web.

Check out our full review of the M4 Apple MacBook Air.

Even at full price, the M4 MacBook Air is an impressively good value, especially considering its brand. For anyone who doesn't need the heavier specs of the Pro (and the additional literal weight that comes along with that), the Air is a great machine. It can handle audio work and some video editing, most college schoolwork, and general day-to-day tasks with ease.

The base 13-inch Air with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage is $150 even after Prime Day, bringing it to just $849. We saw it hit a record-low price of $829 in late June, but this is still a great deal to pick up.

Beats is an Apple brand, and it offers a lot of the same technology as your favorite AirPods (some of the same processors, instant connectivity with iPhones and Macs) but at a much lower price point. In the headphones category, we can't resist this $70 discount on the new Powerbeats Pro 2 wireless earbuds that's still live after Prime Day.

Anthropic reportedly cut OpenAI access to Claude

Published

on

By

It seems OpenAI has been caught with its hands in the proverbial cookie jar. Anthropic has reportedly cut off OpenAI’s access to Anthropic’s APIs over what Anthropic is calling a terms of service breach.

As reported by Wired, multiple sources claim that OpenAI has been cut off from Anthropic’s APIs. Allegedly, OpenAI was using Anthropic’s Claude Code to assist in creating and testing OpenAI’s upcoming GPT-5, which is due to release in August.

According to these sources, OpenAI was plugging into Claude’s internal tools instead of using the chat interface. From there, they used the API to run tests against GPT-5 to check things like coding and creative writing against Claude to compare performance. OpenAI allegedly also tested safety prompts related to things like CSAM, self-harm, and defamation. This would give OpenAI data that it could then use to fine-tune GPT-5 to make it more competitive against Claude.

Unfortunately for OpenAI, this violates Anthropic’s commercial terms of service, which ban companies from using Anthropic’s tools to build competitor AI products.

“Customer may not and must not attempt to access the Services to build a competing product or service, including to train competing AI models or resell the Services except as expressly approved by Anthropic,” the terms read.

OpenAI responded by saying that what the company was doing was an industry standard, as all the AI companies test their models against the competing models. The company then went on to say that it respected Anthropic’s decision but expressed disappointment in having its API access shut off, especially considering that Anthropic’s access to OpenAI’s API remains open.

A spokesperson told Wired that OpenAI’s access would be reinstated for “benchmarking and safety evaluations.”

It’s not the first time this year that Anthropic has cut off API access. In June, the company cut off Windsurf’s API access after rumors that it was being sold to OpenAI. That deal ultimately fell through, but Anthropic’s cofounder, Jared Kaplan, told TechCrunch at the time that “it would be odd for us to be selling Claude to OpenAI.”

Anthropic has also tweaked its rate limits for Claude, which will take effect in late August, with one of the reasons being that a small number of users are violating the company’s policy by sharing and reselling accounts.


Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.

Amazon is toying around with putting ads in Alexa+

Published

on

By

It’s the end of another quarter, which means it’s time for yet another earnings call with concerning ideas for generating more revenue. This time around, it's Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, who told shareholders on Thursday that there’s “significant financial opportunity” in delivering ads through Alexa+, the company’s new AI-powered voice assistant.

“I think over time, there will be opportunities, you know, as people are engaging in more multi-turn conversations to have advertising play a role — to help people find discovery and also as a lever to drive revenue,” Jassy said, per the investor call transcript.

Since launching earlier this year, Alexa+ has reportedly reached millions of users. Unlike the original Alexa, which mostly turns off lights and sets timers, Alexa+ is designed to be more conversational, context-aware, and AI-driven. It can help you plan your date night, entertain your kids, and even dabble in basic image and video generation — all under the banner of your $14.99/month Prime subscription.

But so far, Amazon Alexa has been an ad-free experience. It's also more than 10 years old, and it doesn't make money; thus, it's been deemed a "colossal failure" by those within the company.

Of course, Amazon isn’t alone in trying to figure out how to make AI pay for itself. Both Google and OpenAI have explored ad integration in their AI products as a way to generate revenue. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, in particular, has made a notable pivot: once firmly against advertising in his chatbot, he’s since reversed course, possibly opening the door for ads in future versions of ChatGPT.

Whatever the motivation, injecting ads into Alexa+ would mark a major shift in both user experience and Amazon’s strategy, especially given the assistant’s long history of being expensive to maintain and hard to monetize. Ad-supported Alexa+ could be Amazon’s attempt to finally turn its once-money-burning smart assistant into a revenue machine, without hiking the subscription fee (at least for now).

Alexa+ is still new, and what an ad-supported experience would actually look like remains unclear. According to Jassy, the idea is to frame ads as helpful, something to assist customers in discovering products they might be interested in buying.
