  • Apple TV Plus is coming to Prime Video
    by Jess Weatherbed on October 10, 2024 at 10:00 am

    It’s no cheaper than subscribing to Apple directly, but it potentially gives Apple TV Plus a wider audience. | Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Amazon is adding Apple TV Plus to Prime Video, a move that could help bolster the iPhone maker’s languishing streaming service. Apple TV Plus will be available on Prime Video in the US later this month as a $9.99 monthly add-on — the same you’d otherwise pay directly to Apple. The difference now is that Apple TV Plus is being promoted directly to Amazon’s massive video subscriber base. “What we offer channel partners is hundreds of millions of subscribers around the world,” said Prime Video head Mike Hopkins at Bloomberg’s Screentime conference. “We see a lot more engagement, we’re able to get subscribers for those businesses at a really attractive rate.” Amazon takes a cut of the revenue from streaming subscriptions purchased on its...

    by Sheena Vasani on October 10, 2024 at 3:17 am

    Apple’s latest entry-level iPad — our No. 1 pick for most people — is down to $299 ($50 off). | Photo by Dan Seifert / The Verge If you don’t want to wait until Black Friday or Cyber Monday to save big on some of Apple’s most popular products, Amazon’s October Prime Day event presents an earlier opportunity — at least for a few more hours.

In fact, many of our favorite gadgets and goods are receiving notable discounts right now, which we’ve highlighted in our larger roundup of the best Prime Day deals. However, if you’re looking to stick to a budget, here’s where you’ll find our top picks under $50. Below, we’ve compiled a selection of sub-$50 items we can personally vouch for.
