Battery life is one area where you’ll see big improvements, with up to 24 hours on a single charge. It also has a more durable, scratch-resistant design and bright, wide-angle OLED screen. While it has the same S10 chip as the <a href="https://www.theverge.com/smartwatch-review/778037/apple-watch-se-3-review-battery-specs-watchos-26-smartwatch-wearable">$219 Apple Watch SE 3</a> that we recommend to most people, the Series 11 has a host of extra features, including hypertension notifications, an ultra-wideband chip, a brighter (and more pixel-dense) screen, plus a depth gauge, to name most of the differences.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p class="has-text-align-none">As previously mentioned it&#8217;s one of a few Apple Watch models that will support watchOS 27 when it arrives this fall. The update will bring a redesigned app grid, custom Wallet passes for cards that use barcodes or QR codes, and new Siri AI capabilities. Beyond asking Siri AI to handle a range of tasks from your wrist, it will also be able to surface information stored across your Apple devices, and let you continue conversations after starting them on your iPhone.</p> <h5 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://www.theverge.com/smartwatch-review/778012/apple-watch-series-11-review-hypertension-5g-sleep-score-wearables-smartwatch">Read our Apple Watch Series 11 review.</a></h5> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Three more ways to save&nbsp;</h2> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>You can buy the<strong> Beats Studio Buds Plus</strong> wireless earbuds for $99.99 ($70 off) at <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Beats-Cancelling-Compatibility-Microphone-Headphones/dp/B0BZK2Z2TC/">Amazon</a>, <a href="https://www.bestbuy.com/product/beats-studio-buds-true-wireless-noise-cancelling-earbuds-transparent/JJ8ZHR2C24">Best Buy</a>, <a href="https://www.target.com/p/beats-studio-buds-true-wireless-bluetooth-noise-cancelling-earbuds/-/A-89220711">Target</a>. That matches their best price so far this year, and includes the slick translucent option we were particularly fond of. The Studio Buds Plus deliver a good combination of excellent sound, solid noise cancellation, and comfort, while working well with both Android and iOS devices. They’re also water-resistant and last up to nine hours on a charge, with swappable ear tips for a more secure fit. <a href="https://www.theverge.com/23725921/beats-studio-buds-plus-earbuds-review-translucent-clear">Read our review.</a></li> <li>Fujifilm will be releasing a new <a href="https://www.amazon.com/FUJIFILM-instax-mini-Instant-Camera/dp/B0GRHR77S3/ref=ast_sto_dp_puis">Instax Mini 13</a> on June 25th, but if you’d rather save some money — or pick up a fun Father’s Day gift — <strong>Fujifilm’s Instax Mini 12</strong> is on sale for $79.95 ($14 off) at <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Fujifilm-Instax-Mini-Instant-Camera/dp/B0BWNYBRNL/">Amazon</a>, <a href="https://www.bestbuy.com/product/fujifilm-instax-mini-12-instant-film-camera-clay-white/J7929VCLJ2/sku/6536334">Best Buy</a>, and <a href="https://www.target.com/p/fujifilm-instax-mini-12-camera/-/A-88743864?preselect=91517035#lnk=sametab">Target</a>, which is one of its better prices in recent months. While it lacks Mini 13’s self-timer, the Mini 12 is an excellent instant camera, producing clear, natural-looking prints and offering a simple, beginner-friendly experience that&#8217;s easy for all ages to enjoy.</li> <li>The last-gen <strong>11-inch LTE-enabled iPad Air </strong>with 128GB of storage is on sale for $499 ($250 off) at<a href="https://www.bestbuy.com/product/apple-11-inch-ipad-air-m3-chip-built-for-apple-intelligence-wi-fi-cellular-128gb-space-gray-unlocked/JJGCQ8VCFQ"> Best Buy</a>, putting it at the same price as the Wi-Fi-only model. Its M3 chip isn’t as powerful as the newer M4’s, but it’s still fast, and it touts support for Apple Intelligence. It’ll be compatible with <a href="https://www.theverge.com/tech/942546/apple-ipados-27-wwdc-2026">iPadOS 27</a> when it’s released in the fall, which adds Siri AI updates and makes transferring files to an external drive faster, among many other improvements. <a href="https://www.theverge.com/ipad/626647/apple-ipad-air-review-2025">Read our review</a>. </li> </ul>
