First, the Vanilla iPad – 2025 model was upgraded to the Apple A16 chip, which makes it the only new iPad only without Apple Intelligence Support (2024 Mini uses A17 Pro chipset).

At least Apple collided with base storage to 128GB, which is lustable (64GB was difficult and upgrading took you to 256GB model). It has been three years since the Vanilla iPad is upgraded and when we appreciate additional performance and storage, we would have some additional – AI, 120Hz display, anything appreciated.

The iPad Air was first upgraded with the M2 chip, now they have moved to the M3 chip. It is the only upgrade for 2025 iPad Air 11 “and 13”. Apple claims that these are double the old M1-based air, so the company is trying to woo the owners of the 2022 model.

Also this week is new 13 ”and 15.3″ MacBook Air Model with the new M4 chip and cut the price of $ 100. The new chip supports two 6k 60Hz display (just one above one). The new airs also have new 12MP center stage cameras (well, not new – it is similar to the MacBook Pro). There is also a new color, Dub Sky Blue.

Apple Watch Series is a discount of 10 $ 100. This includes both 42 mm and 46 mm models with cellular connectivity. Note that we have added the aluminum model below, but you can also see the prisier titanium model.

Moving on Android, Amazon has dropped the free storage upgrade for the Galaxy S25 series and is offering direct discounts instead. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and S25+ $ 200 are off, Vanilla Galaxy S25 is just $ 100 off.

The FE series currently provides some cheap storage upgrades. The Samsung Galaxy S24 fees from 128GB to 256GB only for more than $ 20. Earlier, the 256GB model was $ 60 more.

Similarly, the Samsung Galaxy tab is only $ 45 more to upgrade from S9 Fe 128GB to 256GB. It also brings more RAM, going from 6GB to 8GB. Earlier, it was upgraded to $ 70.
