At Just $200, This Garmin Forerunner 165 Running Smartwatch Has Never Been Cheaper
The choices on offer when you start shopping for a new smartwatch can be bewildering. But if you're keen on something with a focus on running more than apps and fancy watch faces, you can't go wrong with something from Garmin. The Forerunner 165 is a smartwatch that's all about running and training, and right now, you can pick yours up for its lowest price yet at just $200.
That's a $50 discount from the original $250 asking price, but this is a limited-time deal, which means it might not run far beyond the Memorial Day sales. For that reason, we suggest that you consider ordering your new Forerunner 165 soon if you want to lock this price in.
In terms of features, the watch comes with a colorful AMOLED display so you can easily see your figures and, of course, the time, even in bright daylight. You can get the Garmin Forerunner 165 in any size that you want, so long as it's 43mm. You'll also get up to 11 days of battery life from a single charge when using smartwatch mode and up to 19 hours when using the more power-hungry GPS mode.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
On the software side, the Forerunner 165 has more than 25 built-in activity profiles for popular activities like running, cycling, HIIT, strength and more, and it even gets to work while you sleep. You'll get a morning report when you wake, so you can learn all about how rested you are and whether your body is ready to go for the day ahead.
Garmin even has some Apple Watch-like safety features, including incident detection that can send a message and your live location to your emergency contact should you take a tumble while you're working out.
Because this is a smartwatch, you'll also get your calls and notifications on your wrist, and the Forerunner 165 can be paired with an iPhone or Android phone, so you're good to go no matter which ecosystem you prefer.
Why this deal matters
Getting fit and staying that way is easier when you have the stats that show your progress. A great fitness smartwatch can help provide that information and Garmin knows how to make a wearable with workouts in mind. We haven't seen this particular smartwatch sell for less than this so far, so this is the perfect time to pick one up while you can save $50.

iOS 26 has a huge battery life upgrade — here's the iPhones that get it
One of our favorite new features added with the iOS 26 developer beta is Apple's new "adaptive power" mode aimed at extending the battery life of the best iPhones. Unfortunately, it looks like you'll need an iPhone 15 Pro model or newer to enjoy the benefits. In the iOS 26 developer beta, Apple describes adaptive power mode as a way for your iPhone to make 'small performance adjustments to extend your battery life,' such as by lowering screen brightness and 'allowing some activities to take a little longer.' When the setting's enabled, your phone will automatically trim its energy use to keep it going longer between charges. Adaptive power mode is different from the iPhone's existing low power mode, which restricts background activities and automatically kicks in when your battery reaches 20 percent. As confirmed in a weekend MacRumors report, the feature is only available on the iPhone 15 Pro phones and iPhone 16 series. While iOS 26 is compatible with phones as old as the iPhone 11, adaptive power mode is powered by artificial intelligence, so it's only enabled on phones capable of running Apple Intelligence. Below you can find a full list of iPhone models capable of running the new adaptive power mode in iOS 26: Adaptive Power is enabled by default in the iOS 26 developer beta, but you can also find it alongside Low Power Mode in the Battery > Power Mode section of the Settings menu. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman first reported that Apple was working on an AI-powered battery optimization feature last month. At the time, Gurman said the feature will use the 'battery data it has collected from users' devices' to figure out which apps to trim power consumption from. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Adaptive power mode could prove especially useful for the iPhone 17 Air, Apple's rumored ultra-thin handset. Leaks suggest it could come with a measly 2,800 mAh — 1,100 mAh less than the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. Between this new setting and rumors that Apple will employ a new silicon carbon battery to boost battery density by as much as 15%, Apple may be able to squeeze out an impressively long battery life in the iPhone 17 Air's slim chassis. On the best Android phones, Google has a similar adaptive power feature that employs AI to predict your app usage and restricts the ones you don't visit as often from running in the background, thus using up precious battery life in the process. Over time, Adaptive Battery learns which apps are the worst drains on your phone's battery and limits some of their functions. That way, your phone's battery doesn't drain as much when it's left idle. iOS 26 remains in beta for now as Apple plans to roll out the full update sometime in the fall. It's rumored to add exciting new updates to the Camera and Photos apps as well as Apple Intelligence-powered live translation for text messages and calls.

Apple iPhone 17 Series Will Showcase ‘Design Revamp', New Report Claims
When Apple releases the iPhone 17 series, we already know it will come with the Liquid Glass software design overhaul announced at WWDC. Now, a new report from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman talks about the hardware and how much of a change it will be. Apple iPhone 16 Pro: are the iPhones about to get a design revamp? There have been reports of faster-charging iPhones, good and bad news about display properties and display sizes, a thicker-than-ever iPhone 17 Pro Max, a curious design detail on the iPhone 17 Air, and worries about that phone's battery life, to name just a few. But now, industry heavyweight Gurman has more details of what's coming. In his weekly Power On newsletter, in answer to a question of whether this year's iPhone is considered a redesign, he answered, 'Yes.' So, there we have it. No, wait, there's more. 'Within Apple, this year's iPhone lineup is considered an industrial design revamp compared to the iPhone 16 Pro Max, for instance. That includes the new skinnier iPhone 17 'Air' model, as well as Pro versions with a redesigned back and camera area,' Gurman says. Note the quote marks around 'Air,' presumably because Apple hasn't confirmed such a name and so it's subject to change. 'From the front, the new phones won't look much different than recent models,' he adds. Since the phones are almost all-screen with thin bezels, that's not such a surprise, though Gurman is saying there's no change to the iPhone's Dynamic Island, as he refers to this. 'The Pro changes on the rear are certainly noticeable. In any case, these tweaks are just a stepping stone toward next year's upgrades. That's when Apple will shrink the Dynamic Island, moving closer to a screen that truly covers the entire front of the phone, and roll out a foldable model. More changes will come in 2027, as I've earlier reported, with a Pro model redesign tied to the iPhone's 20-year anniversary,' he concludes. There's a lot of detail there, particularly about the all-screen iPhone coming in more than two years' time, even if we might have hoped for more concrete information about this fall's look. And there's no mention of whether or not ProMotion will be on the new iPhone 17, or exactly how the camera area will change, though other analysts have consistently reported a wider panel on the phone's rear. Or will the Pro Max be called the iPhone 17 Ultra? I'll report back as more information leaks.

For more ways to save, check out our Amazon promo codes. YETI sale: up to 25% off @ AmazonIf you're a fan of YETI, you know that a sale doesn't come around often enough. That's why now is the perfect opportunity to save big on drinkware and cooler deals starting at just $15. So don't wait — snag a new cooler or water bottle before these discounts disappear! Garmin sale: deals from $99 @ AmazonI have to admit: I wasn't expecting to see a surge in Garmin deals. That said, Amazon has various Garmin watches and some accessories on sale from $97. It's easily the best Garmin sale I've seen this year with discounts on some of our favorite models like the Editor's Choice Forerunner 55 on sale for $169. The Blink Outdoor is a fully wireless home security camera that records video in 1080p, lets you store video locally (or in the cloud) and has a two-year battery life. The Editor's Choice camera holds a spot in our list of the best home security cameras. At just $49, the best value Ring Video Doorbell got even better. The newest of Ring's doorbells has head-to-toe video and package detection. You can't replace its battery, but it's a fantastic option at this price. The AirPods Pro 2 pack Apple's new H2 chip to provide 2x more noice cancellation than their predecessors.

In our AirPods Pro 2 review, we said they take everything we loved about the original AirPods Pro to the next level. This new model includes a USB-C charging case. The Beats Studio Pro are specifically designed to bring back that thumping bass Beats is known for. They offer improved active noise cancelation and boosted battery life (up to 40 hours with ANC turned off). There's also Spatial Audio support and Beats' signature strong brand look. However, our Beats Studio Pro review found the clamping force high, which may affect comfort levels for some wearers.

There's also a 9-core GPU on board with 40% faster graphics performance than the M1. In our iPad Air M3 review we said its fun Apple Intelligence features, reliable battery life (9 hours w/ 41 minutes), and overall thin design make it a winning Apple slate.

It suits rooms up to 650 sq ft, although this is based on one change of air over an hour. With an auto mode, it adjusts the fan speed based on the quality of the air and displays the corresponding data on the panel. It also has Odor Neutralizer Technology that releases a fresh scent in the air. This pretty KitchenAid stand mixer has a large-capacity mixing bowl, three attachments to knead, beat, and whip ingredients, and a pouring shield that prevents splashes. It's super intuitive and has 10 speeds to ensure everything you're mixing is blended perfectly. It also houses a central hub for extra attachments, including a pasta maker or spiralizer.
